No idea tbh. 🤷🏽‍♂️” It quotes a tweet from The Tennessee Holler (@TheTNHoller) that says: “😳WOW — ELON’S DAD TO CNN: ‘The USA becoming minority white will be very very bad...

I'm trying to use Bluesky to sell tickets to my comedy special taping. Don't make me promote on Twitter. I'd rather have an empty house. But it'd be so much nicer if it were full.
