Elon Musk is very active on Twitter today, firing off Tweets and taking shots at all sorts of people, in addition to recommending that independent voters turn Republican.

To independent-minded voters:

Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

Elon doubled down on his voting recommendation with this Tweet:

Hardcore Democrats or Republicans never vote for the other side, so independent voters are the ones who actually decide who’s in charge!

The Tesla boss also took a swipe at both Twitter competitor Mastodon and the economist Paul Krugman with tweets that he quickly deleted, perhaps fearing a defamation suit.

Below the belt?

Musk also memed.

Will Elon sue the ADL?

We do

Here’s hoping.

Hmmm. If Musk thinks Twitter is going to somehow become the arbiter of truth, then that’s extremely concerning for free speech on the platform:

Twitter needs to become by far the most accurate source of information about the world. That’s our mission.

In other news, verified blue checkmark accounts are getting suspended for malicious impersonation.

Elon later explained his reasoning here:

No problem to use a pseudonym. The high-level principle is just that verified users can’t engage in malicious deception.

So, pseudonymous accounts WILL be able to get a blue checkmark. Interesting, and a seemingly positive development.
