  @elizableu Looks like Yoel is arguing in favor of children being able to access adult Internet services in his PhD thesis: https://twitter.com/...

  There seems to be little limit to Elon Musk's predatory and malevolent nature. He is now insinuating that the fmr head of Trust & Safety at Twitter, an openly gay Jewish man, is a pedophile. Just another level of this is that Roth actually stayed on for several weeks under Musk..…

  This is getting bad. He's leveraging right wing pedo panic to malign former employees without basis. https://twitter.com/...

  Jack Posobiec is leading another dishonest smear campaign, this time against former Twitter employee Yoel Roth. Roth tweeted an article 12 yrs ago that *criticized* teacher-student sexual relationships, which is falsely being hailed as “proof” that Roth is a secret groomer/pedo. …

  Elon Musk is dangerous. This is a well organized hit-job on people he doesn't like. Yoel here is arguing for making platforms safer because people under 18 already use these apps. Elon here intentionally misinterprets knowing his stupid fans will run with his interpretation. http…

  looks like Elon is back to calling people “pedo” on twitter groomer discourse edition! https://twitter.com/...

  @elonmusk @elizableu So sad insecure Elon can't handle his favored lieutenant resigning and then publicly criticizing him, so he decided to spend all night crying into the guy's PhD thesis and find a bit to stupidly misinterpret for his dumb homophobe followers? https://twitter.c…

  Elon has now gone full QAnon: Massively distorting statements by his former gay Jewish employee & unleashing torrents of antisemitism & homophobia in the process. Elon is absolutely inciting violence against him. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

• @schwanksta Ken Schwencke on x

  Pretty sure trying to smear his gay former employee as a pedophile is my last straw for using this site. https://twitter.com/...

  Who had @elonmusk goes full Qanon groomer conspiracy weirdo on their 2022 bingo card? https://twitter.com/...

• @keitholbermann Keith Olbermann on x

  Now, @elonmusk is slandering his former employee. That's not what this says and Musk knows it. Sue him. Sue him until he's wading knee deep in lawsuits. https://twitter.com/...

• @iamraisini @iamraisini on x

  This is a new low for @elonmusk. To dig up dirt on his ex-employees & publicly shame them. This is exactly what he did with ex-Tesla employees @CristinaIBalan & @weed10_weed & as well paid $50K to investigators to dig up dirt on the Thai cave explorer after calling him a ‘pedo’ h…

• @shannonfreshour @shannonfreshour on x

  Elon lying about dudes who disagree with him being pedophiles again.. Seriously this is a regular tactic.. fucking piece of shit monster, https://twitter.com/...

• @rayyvanattv @rayyvanattv on x

  Trying to frame a gay man as a pedophile for saying Grindr should make the platform safer so underaged users connect with other underaged users is wild https://twitter.com/...

• @mikestuchbery_ @mikestuchbery_ on x

  Not content with talking a lot of smack about his former Head of Trust & Safety, Elon Musk is now misrepresenting their words with the aim of silencing them - or getting them hurt. https://twitter.com/...

• @aricohn Ari Cohn on x

  Only if you suck at reading. https://twitter.com/...

• @cam_oflage Ibaka Shinji on x

  Pretty good illustration of how these guys can whip ppl into a frenzy just by showing any sort of connection between ~gay stuff~ and teenagers Around the time this thesis would have been being written, the minimum ages on Tinder and Bumble were 13 https://twitter.com/...

• @batwingdings @batwingdings on x

  Gay men: we should figure out what to do about underage minors looking for connections and community on Grindr. In this (literal) paper, I- Musk: lol groomer behavior https://twitter.com/...

• @marlownyc Marlow Stern on x

  at what point will yoel roth sue. this is nuts. https://twitter.com/...

• @esqueer_ Alejandra Caraballo on x

  Watching Elon launch a digital mob against his former head of trust and safety, Yoel Roth, an openly gay Jewish man, is one of the most vile and disgusting things I've ever seen. He's putting Yoel's life in danger and he knows it. It's sick, twisted, and sociopathic. https://twit…

• @esqueer_ Alejandra Caraballo on x

  Elon insinuates that Yoel Roth is a pedophile then Chaya Raichik tweets about it and her replies are filled with violent death threats against Yoel. https://twitter.com/...

• @kthorjensen @kthorjensen on x

  Musk is now trying to paint former Twitter head of trust and safety Yoel Roth as a pedophile, much like he did Vernon Unsworth. What a repugnant piece of shit this fucking guy is. https://twitter.com/...

• @bborrman Brandon on x

  The call is coming from inside the house. I know this isn't a hyped “scandal” with all the Substack vibes, but this is the actual thing to be concerned about if you give an ounce of concern about kids' safety. https://twitter.com/...

• @jsrailton John Scott-Railton on x

  Musk's playbook when challenged: ☑ Punch down ☑ Wink at conspiracy theories ☑ Goad adoring followers to pile onto someone Sound familiar?

• @green_footballs Charles Johnson on x

  Elon Musk is very deliberately putting Yoel Roth's life in danger.

• @dcwoodruff Chase Woodruff on x

  world's richest man going full QAnon (again) on a day when the country's most influential newspaper writes that his views “defy easy political categorization.” what a time to be alive https://twitter.com/...

• @lionel_trolling John Ganz on x

  so he's just gonna like libel this person? https://twitter.com/...

• @a_h_reaume A. H. on x

  In the last two days, Musk has lobbed bad faith accusations of supporting or enabling pedophilia or child trafficking against four people who criticized him. This has resulted in these individuals experience mass harassment and even threats. Here's a thread to break it down.

• @brandyzadrozny Brandy Zadrozny on x

  No the thesis does not argue that but none of Musk's followers are going to read it anyway. This is the world's richest man trying to pizzagate his former employee. For what? It's so so dangerous. https://twitter.com/...

• @danahull Dana Hull on x

  I wasn't planning to work this Saturday but @elonmusk's attacks on @yoyoel cannot be ignored. w/@KurtWagner8 https://www.bloomberg.com/...

• @karaswisher Kara Swisher on x

  These cruel attacks by Elon Musk are sickening and based on a purposefully ignorant mischaracterization of @yoyoel's work. It also puts him in direct personal danger from people who believe this bullshit from the chief shit stirrer. https://twitter.com/...

• @mmasnick Mike Masnick on x

  Tragically, Elon does not understand or care that he has goons who are going ballistic and threatening Yoel over Elon's own misreading of Yoel's comments. It's the kind of thing that a competent trust & safety person might explain to him. https://twitter.com/...
