@elonmusk Good luck to journalists hoping this’ll work. It would be a long slog to real $$ and working for clicks is bad for society. My reporters have the freedom to chase important local stories without the worry of - will it get 1M hits?! The best stories for your city won’t. #local

@WSJ reported it as a utopian Texas town that @elonmusk is planning. But to quote the 20th Century philosopher and poet @FlavorFlav: Don't believe the hype. https://t.co/AA5uNJPd76

No doubt Elon Musk is brilliant, but is he stretched too thin during these trying times? A poll is live now asking if @elonmusk should do for #Tesla what he did for Twitter: Step down and find a full-time CEO to replace him. https://t.co/6wia0Up03c

Should it be the Austin-San Antonio Metroplex or the San Antonio-Austin Metroplex? I've made my stand and can justify it well. https://t.co/3nvYk38qZW

Urgent need to build more housing in greater Austin area!

@elonmusk Tell me about it. We have a podcast. Got a few minutes to talk Austin? [email protected] https://t.co/TAMePQwTHD

@brett_alder Ah yes, a beautiful Texas thunderstorm. As you point out, we believe Portland gets a healthy amount of rainfall annually so we match, but we don’t want to be spit on 300 days a year so we get it over with on select weekends. Memorial Day is the biggie. No grass seeds - kayak. 🌊

[Colin Pope @ABJEditor]

Although I find @brett_alder’s depiction of #austin to be about as accurate as my 3-year-old’s dinosaur drawings, he seems like a good sport on social media and I hope he finds his happy place. https://t.co/aVqkp71eAo

@elonmusk Welcome to Texas! I’d love to hook you up with a subscription to @MyABJ - best business news in the state. Is there an Austin address I can send it to???

[Colin Pope @ABJEditor]

Howdy, @elonmusk, does Project Liberty ring a bell? ATX is the place to be! https://t.co/vHiG8pwE3B

Here’s what we know about this morning’s FBI raid in #Austin https://t.co/QsXNr953Xw

Surely the Texas Rangers have Blue Bell's back and Chuck Norris is busting down the door to this young lady's house as I type. https://t.co/PR9q5cDq2I

[Colin Pope @ABJEditor]

@BlindDensetsu The Texas Rangers surely have Blue Bell’s back. Chuck Norris is probably busting down this young woman’s door as we speak.
