   Elon Musk seems to be eager to shape everything he owns in a unified style—which I do not think will work from many perspectives.

     @ArtistBristol I must say that I do not live in China but as a Taiwanese I do know a bit about how everything is going on there. Musk has a big plan for his Tesla factories and business in China. Honestly speaking, his plan might work if China's government (or the CCP) allows him to do it. However, I doubt that he has the ability to handle the legal problems (about the enviroment and workers) and political problems (which are mostly about bribery of officers). It is more complicated to run a business in China now, especially after the pandemic.

     @VivianHsiao @ArtistBristol He's not the sort of person we should appreciate.

     @VivianHsiao @victor When I was cancelled, although I wasn't on Twitter, the twitter-TRA mobs came for everyone associated with me. The newspaper, the journalists, their families, my friends, & professional acquaintances.
     One woman I worked with ( I was illustrating her children's books at the time) and her then 17-year-old daughter, were monstered so badly by Twitter mobs just for knowing me, that they abandoned Twitter, and never went back on.
     Which meant that she lost it as an advertising platform for her books, too.
     
     
     I've had women suggest to me that I should be on Twitter - "go on under an assumed name, with an anon account or 2, catfish your own accounts - WHAT??
     I'm an artist, why on Earth would I want to be anonymous - I'm proud of the small part I've played in opening up this national conversation.
     After what Twitter has done to me and other women, I wouldn't go on there if you paid me!
     Just a reminder of why I was cancelled;

     @victor @ArtistBristol Agreed. Yet he craves for people's attention. So long as he does not suspend the accounts of GC and radical feminists on the Twitter, I won't mind what he wants to do with the platform.

     @VivianHsiao @victor I've never been on those big platforms in my life, and don't intend to be! (Twatter, Facebook, Instagram).
     Their creators admit they were designed to be addictive, and aimed at youngsters with disposable income. It's a loop I'm quite happy not to be in.

     @ArtistBristol @victor Glad to hear someone say so. Most of my friends are using those big platforms so I have no choice but to register! 😂 It is sad that people spend too much time on posting their lives instead of enjoying the moments in the reality.
