   @BenjaminKlein People are literally still happily chatting away in Musk’s Nazi Bar.

   A quick list:

   ⁃ Journalists who want to follow the European Commissioners who are de facto peddling and legitimising it right now.
   ⁃ Folks who want to follow the journalists.
   ⁃ Friends of the folks who want to follow the journalists who want to follow their friends.
   ⁃ …
