The email associated to my name is not mine and being that Musk acquired the company, I definitely don’t want any associate to Musk. So, I screen shot the page and attached it to my letter. I also stated that I wanted my account which I cannot access due to it being hacked to be removed also. I have a signed return certified slip and I am still waiting for my request to be processed.

      I argue that social media is the biggest single demon for mental health. People have become focussed on what others have and what they don't have. They are taking advice from 'influencers' who are no more intelligent than anyone else, but they lead these fake lifestyles that they manipulate for social media platforms. It's about time people start thinking for themselves, getting out and enjoying life rather than longing for something that someone they follow has that they will probably never achieve. That's not healthy for anyone's mental health.

    I left twitter years ago. It's a town square for the opinionated. I don't need to prop up someone else's ego by following their every word. Musk is the ultimate opinionated person; he deserves to own the issues he has created. Let's remember he makes money for Tesla from tax credits, not for his prowess at making sound marketing decisions. He relies on others to do that. So to take over Twitter thinking he has all the answers in the first week of ownership shows his total lack of entrepreneurial ability. Money only buys some things; sound business practices aren't one of them; they are learned, not purchased.
