They need to get parody accounts of all the nazis and other scum to squat their names ASAP.
Of course Dorsey has a lot of those people in his circleâŚ

I just read that Tesla is now the leading car sales in Germany, and I do seem to see a lot of them here in Munich.

While itâs not mentioned in the NY Times article, TechCrunch reported a few days ago that Leah Culver was one of those laid off over the weekend.
