Underrated subplot in all this is the increasingly unhinged things Jack Dorsey's coming out with.

What the actual feck? If anyone still had any doubt about where Elon stands....
I watched it. Someone needs to pull out the science of the points made. Seemed to come down to a few main issues when ignoring the silly 'what is a woman' question -

1. There isn't good long term studies on the impact of gender affirming treatment on minors

2. It's unclear what the current social impact on children wanting to transition is

3. Is big Pharma attempting to profit off this new trend?

I think there's legitimate concern about this stuff relating to minors. Anyone watching will have to kind of ignore the Matt Walsh bating, but pick out the points made and it's sensible to at least consider some of these things!

'Discover more' in the replies now. Another thing nobody asked for.

I haven't watched it but I'm sure coming from that scumbag it was very balanced. and you can definitely believe that claims made in it.

Jack also thought Elon was the only person who could save Twitter, which he has since retracted after quickly realizing Elon was the only person who could destroy it.

Twitter’s U.S. Ad Sales Plunge 59% as Woes Continue
Elon Musk recently said Twitter’s advertising business was on the upswing. “Almost all advertisers have come back,” he asserted, adding that the social media company could soon become profitable.

But Twitter’s U.S. advertising revenue for the five weeks from April 1 to the first week of May was $88 million, down 59 percent from a year earlier, according to an internal presentation obtained by The New York Times. The company has regularly fallen short of its U.S. weekly sales projections, sometimes by as much as 30 percent, the document said.

That performance is unlikely to improve anytime soon, according to the documents and seven current and former Twitter employees.

Twitter’s ad sales staff is concerned that advertisers may be spooked by a rise in hate speech and pornography on the social network, as well as more ads featuring online gambling and marijuana products, the people said. The company has forecast that its U.S. ad revenue this month will be down at least 56 percent each week compared with a year ago, according to one internal document.

Is it incorrect? And if it is, what is the correct data?
The quoted thing doesn't measure father relationships in any way. Here is the definition from it:
Children under age 18 who live with their own single parent either in a family or subfamily In this definition, single-parent families may include cohabiting couples and do not include children living with married stepparents. Children who live in group quarters (for example, institutions, dormitories, or group homes) are not included in this calculation.
