Elon Musk bought Twitter

So, after 12 years of resistance, you can now find RushBabe49  on Twitter.  And I got my first follower already!  I have followed a bunch of British travel accounts, and my normal assortment of conservative pundits.  I also follow a few Harry Potter people, including JK Rowling and Tom Felton, as well as WizardingWorld.  I …
