"But I think Twitter can be a really horrible place. And I think people are excited because he is sort of going to unleash the trolls. Right? I think he is saying, you get to say whatever you want, I'm going to take away the guard rails. And for me, that is something that is a bit scary. And I think it's going to be scary to a lot of women because there have been some surveys done.

And 38% of women around the world have said that they have been on the receiving end of a lot of abuse. On Twitter, 85% of women have said that they have seen the abuse. And what's interesting to me about Twitter is only 22% of adults are on Twitter in the world, and that's from a 2019 pew study. Um, and so Twitter is not the real world.

And in fact, on Twitter, it is predominantly straight white men. So when Elon Musk says, wow, this is about free speech, it seems to me that it's about free speech of. White men. And so let them have it, let them just go at it. I enjoy the block button on Twitter. Um, I think it has a real outsized influence in our world because politicians and celebrities are on it.

Um, and I think what may happen quite frankly, with Elon Musk taking it over is that there'll be some other social media platforms that take over, um, where real people are talking and there'll be real."
