      I’ve kept my account because it’s a sought after username. Deleting it would allow some grifter to take it over. It also predates both Elmo’s and the original Twitter accounts.

      I’ve not posted anything under it since the third party apps were blocked.

      Reminder: if you purchase gas from BP, you support anything they’ve ever done.

      Reminder: if you purchase a smart phone, you support child labor.

        I don’t believe I’m entertaining this ridiculous comparison, but….

        We NEED gasoline. We NEED telecommunications. You don’t NEED to tweet dumb shit about your breakfast or keep up with sports scores.

        You’re here to defend X, therefore you’re defending Elon. That’s how it works. Don’t like it, maybe don’t speak up for him next time.

          You may need gasoline, but you don’t need BP’s gasoline. By choosing to buy BP’s gasoline, you support everything BP has ever done. Don’t want to support them, buy different gasoline.

          FWIW, I’m not sure if I have a Xitter account or not. I did at one point. Definitely don’t remember a password, and I probably used a former email account that I can no longer access either, so no way of recovering it if it still exists. I have a severe lack of fucks to give about it.

          But, I am pro-pedantry, and your argument kinda sucked.

      I’m keeping it just long enough to harass his ass. I’ll be all over him like Joe Biden on an ice cream cone, or Elon Musk on Trumps dick.

        I promise you: you’re not harassing him. You ARE however, supporting him by having an account.
