@trussliz The irony in your post is something special. It was, in itself, demonstrating free speech. Surely?

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]

@elonmusk People used to trust religious leaders, sovereigns, politicians, business leaders, media outlets. All have proven to be fallible. Biased. Self-interested. So where do we go for a truly objective balanced perspective - the bedrock. With all due respect, it is not you or X…

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]

@elonmusk In theory it’s the bedrock, yes. But there has never, in the history of democracy been true freedom. Information has always been controlled by a small number of people. Today, in fact, it is freer than ever. The thing we are lacking is a standard of trust.

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]

@elonmusk Super misleading @elonmusk and you know that. Lots of selection bias in here. What about proportion of wealth and power owned by white people? Ie yourself. That is the inequality people should be resentful of. Not relatively small differences in average salary.

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]

@piersmorgan @evanvucci @AP I agree. Photos can capture moments that propel narrative and change history. This is one of those. A truly iconic photo. The world won’t be the same.

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]

@piersmorgan Pompous response from you @piersmorgan . Elton has the same vote as you. And is representing a critical perspective not discussed enough. Exports of our creative talents to the largest market in the world is a vital part of our economy. His view here matters a lot.

Have you gotten a chance to listen to the latest episode of Chew On This, where @sibelsham is dropping value 💣's on value 💣's

If not - you're really missing out.

@chadjanis @ashvinmelwani Thanks @chadjanis that’s kind of you. The @my_obvi team are phenomenal

@espn Your broadcast and production was a mess. Sound on normal espn broadcast had delayed commentary over the live commentary making it incomprehensible. And the multi view by all accounts was poor. I thought you were a professional sports broadcaster?

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]

This is bravery and leadership. What an amazing speech that deserves to go viral.

In Texas, Lake Highlands High School valedictorian, Paxton Smith, switched out her approved speech to talk about abortion rights.

"[On the] hardest interval, a @SoulCycle instructor tells you, ‘You’re stronger than you think. Add resistance because you CAN handle it. Let’s... Climb... This... Hill!’ And you do. You climb the hill." We agree, @WSJ, our instructors are everything. https://t.co/Z1oGsaMbzC

@profgalloway Are SPACs a bubble?

[SoulCycle At-Home @eqxplus]

“My whole soul is in this.” @POTUS, you had us at SOUL, and we love having @VP and @FLOTUS as a part of our Soul Fam. If you all are in need of (security-approved) bikes, we can customize the @soulcycle at-home bike to fit your needs—and deliver them to your new digs in a week.

@ivanandriollo Don’t joke Ivan. These writers are unhinged, who knows where they’ll go next

Thank you @bearsdenmusic for spending 980 minutes with me this year on @Spotify. You are my #1. #2020Wrapped https://t.co/ttLSXJ4U1y

@CortesSteve @realDonaldTrump Is it possible that people hated Trump that much that they went out to vote him out? Isn’t this the basis of democracy?

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]

@ryan_caldbeck @CircleUp @roryeakin Ryan we met at Eric B’s a couple years ago. Thanks for this honest, vulnerable account. As a CEO and COO I’ve experienced some (definitely not all) of the things you describe. Personally and professionally. Life has a way of hitting hard at times. Sharing matters. Thank you 🙏

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]

@dresserman That is so very sad Steve. Thinking of you and Mrs D 💔

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]

@Asi_Sharabi @Wonderbly This is awesome. And so well deserved @Asi_Sharabi

[Simon Belsham @sibelsham]
