Being surprised Elon is meming is is like being surprised [normal thing happens] while the CEO of NPR saying "At this point I have lost my faith in the decision-making at Twitter," "I would need some time to understand whether Twitter can be trusted again." Has one semi-controversial decision against his org. and decides to pull everyone in that org. off it, especially a firm whose management is known for rapid iteration, as shown earlier today with f.ex. the BBC label being updated

However I do understand American's propensity for being sensitive to having any of their institutions having the same labels as the bad guys'
