- Also he is not consistent if you should "Get verified" or "Get subscribed". FYI. - Claims to be politically a „centrist”, only to push right-wing opinions and not a single left-wing opinion. (Aside from far-right and far-left, those are bad anyways... only ends up with violence.) Very centrist. Consistency! So sad!
- Is the most childish-grownup person I've ever seen... Weird.
- Self-criticism is nowhere to be found on these type of guys, especially the richest of 'em all.
- No criticism on Musk, especially from left-wingers. Getcha banned, like, immediately. „Centrist”! WITCH HUNT!
- Offend an left-winger, you're good, but if you dare to offend an right-winger, no bueno. Suspended. You're a „Centrist”. So sad! „Free Speech” nowhere to be found.

- Also also, he is being constantly inconsistent. - Also also, he is being constantly inconsistent.
***I'll still deadname X Twitter, like Elon does with Vivian. Deal with it. All hail true free speech.***
