One thing Elon Musk is not? Loyal.
"Looks like Yoel is arguing in favor of children being able to access adult Internet services in his PhD thesis,"on Saturday, coupled with a screenshot of just one paragraph of Roth's 300-page dissertation.
The CEO's tweet was in response to Eliza Bleu, who tagged the "Chief Twit" in an article about the politics of teacher-student sex that Roth had shared — but not written — back in 2010. Neither that article, nor Roth's research, supports the abuse and exploitation of children, or suggests that Roth himself is in any way a pedophile.
Even so, the replies to both tweets suggest that the former Twitter employee, an openly gay man himself, is a "groomer." It's worth noting that Musk publicly showed support for Roth, a longtime Twitter staffer, in the early days of his acquisition. Some netizens had expressed concern over Roth's very clearly stated distaste for Trump, linking to some critical tweets he made in 2016 and 2017. But at that point, the billionaire came to the then-Twitter-employee's defense,"we've all made some questionable tweets, me more than most, but I want to be clear that I support Yoel.
"My sense is that he has high integrity," Musk continued in the October thread, "and we are all entitled to our political beliefs."Whether Musk is simply just making noise for the sake of boosting Twitter's user count — or he actually believes his outrageous accusations against Roth — is unclear.
