So apparently, white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes has endorsed Fetterman. Does it have anything to do with Mehmet Oz’s ethnicity? ---

The crazies have wasted no time on Twitter now that Elon is in charge. He has personally promised the guy who uses the handle CatTurd, who is an Individual 1 backer and a QAnon whacko, that he will investigate if he has been shadowbanned on Twitter, which is not a thing. One poster posted the N word multiple times. Another one posted “Black lives don’t matter”. And Marge Greene yesterday posted “Wait till tomorrow”, which many have interpreted to mean that she’s expecting to get unbanned. ---

Likely a lot of trolls will be back. > **[Elon Musk has begun his takeover of Twitter](https://www.engadget.com/elon-musk-takes-over-twitter-011047797.html)** > > After months of legal drama, Elon Musk has begun his takeover of Twitter. The service could change dramatically under the Tesla CEO's leadership. > Musk, who changed his Twitter bio to “Chief Twit,” has made it clear he intends to bring other big changes to the social media company. He has said both [in public](https://www.engadget.com/elon-musk-twitter-ted-181607962.html) appearances and in [private messages](https://www.npr.org/2022/10/07/1127337447/heres-what-elon-musk-will-likely-do-with-twitter-if-he-buys-it) that he wants to relax Twitter’s moderation rules and that he dislikes permanent bans. My guess is that Twitter is going to sink. Now will be a good time for a competing platform to get released. ---

Not to mention that Congress has been leaning on the social media companies a lot in recent years. If he truly makes this an “anything goes” platform, he’s going to have a huge headache from them. This isn’t going to go well. Twitter did not have the policies they had because of ideology.
