If you bother to listen, this is my rebuttal regarding X and original content. I thought long and hard before I recorded this. Some of you will wholeheartedly agree with me, but to stay safe- don’t repost. Others will feel it to their core- and I hope repost it. @elonmusk@X@premium … there is no malice on my part. Make sure to listen from the first second to the end. Thank you. Shannon
