I have rewritten a toot 5 times trying to explain how my lack of income prevents me from enjoying Xmass fully.

But instead of giving you a sob story about my life, I want to tell you this...

If you have someone in your life who is struggling financially, just take them aside and let them know that you love them, and that you understand. Let them know that their value is in who they are, not how much they can buy.

Ask them what you can do to help them have a merry Xmass.

.@drewharwell and I investigated the incident with the supposed Musk stalker and it appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the jet tracking account. The incident occurred 26 miles from the airport, a full day after ElonJet placed the plane in Los Angeles, and the alleged stalker had been monitoring and attempting to make contact with Grimes for years https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details-of-musk-stalking-incident/ #twitterexodus #twittermigration #elonmusk #news
Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.

Please just report that account and the instance as it is being run by a conspiracist and troll.
