Elon Musk asks JKR to start “posting interesting and positive content on other matters”.

[NitroNine]

TRAs are currently in a gleeful froth over on TwiX because they apparently think a misogynist being misogynistic is Le Epic Win & Pwning of JKR.

Musk responded to JKR’s current pinned tweet (defining what a woman is) with While I heartily agree with your points regarding sex/gender, may I suggest also posting interesting and positive content on other matters?

Yes. Do shut up about the torture & murder of women & girls in Iran - it’s icky. Musk says the regime are fluffy bunnies. Musk might have flagged one of Khamenei’s posts, but he allows the account to stand; & to spew hate.

Presumably JKR posting about her work & pictures of her dogs just doesn’t register with Musk. TRAs will happily ignore it for their agenda 🙄

Imagine demanding an infamously private person change how she uses the platform you bought & have mangled. The sheer EGO of the man 🤦‍♀️

He presumably wants to try to reduce the volume of reports the system gets every time she posts on TwiX; because TRAs are apparently convinced that if they just report everything for everything at some point they’ll HAVE to manage to get JKR suspended from TwiX, at least. Despite never having done so. Nor even having managed a deleted Tweet. Their attempts at Content Notes are an absolute embarrassment as well 🤦‍♀️

Her reply was spectacular. He’s such a dick.

When was this posted? I can’t see anything recent on either if their twitters to suggest an exchange between them….

What was her reply?

Maybe Elon should start reading the Sunday Times. Here's JKR talking about being an author and about writing and nothing else. I just searched the article and the words woman, women, female or trans don't appear a single time:

Really interesting interview, thanks for the share token.

Please could you share her reply?

Another man policing women's words. How utterly unoriginal.

Thanks for the share token, I enjoyed that.

That's made up my mind that if I ever do run into JK Rowling somewhere I will say hello and tell her how much I love her writing. And her activism.

Also, I know this is completely frivolous, but I can't believe she's nearly 60. She looks 20 years younger than her age. I wonder whether she gets really expensive botox or whether she's just genetically blessed.

Elon is such a twat.

I don't know if we can be too harsh in criticising what he has done with the platform, if it wasn't for Musk we would be back in 2020 where nobody could speak clearly or openly about this without being banned. He also cracked down on on some other very nasty things which the previous regime said was not possible.

Twitter is so hard to navigate I cannot find her reply. Please can someone screenshot it?

You can't take anything Musk says or does as honest/in good faith. He's best just ignored.

Not a Musk fan - he used a surrogate FFS - however since he took over Twitter I've not seen any of the MAP / noMAP accounts and that's a really good thing.

You've got to ask yourself why the previous guys weren't interested in removing paedo accounts.

What did she say??

I’ve scanned Twitter and still cannot see that this actually happened.

It’s definitely there, look at JKR’s pinned tweet. Can’t see a response from her but there’s 3,000 replies to scroll through!

She hadn't replied?

She hasn't replied but I'lll be refreshing regularly until she does.

What a prick.

He replied yesterday to her post from a month ago.

He has 850mln followers: I thought by posting he was bringing the matter to the top of his followers timeline without risk of being accused of incitement. But no one can really know.

I wouldn't expect JK Rowlijng to respond though.

Imagine asking one of the most famous published authors with a wide array of written novels that encompass the whole human experience, to write about different things on twatter 🙄

It's literally "smile, luv"

What a wally.

Yes it did, I saw it yesterday. (I have notifications turned on for JKR) I'm surprised at Elon Musk, didn't sound like him.

Is he bored and fishing for attention?

It does seem like he fancies sparring with an intelligent ‘feisty’ woman. A lot of men get a kick out of that don’t they?
