Listen: A lot of us are worried that Elon Musk buying Twitter means Twitter will return to its pre-Trump ban roots as a seasonless cesspool of 280 character white supremacist manifestos, raisin-rich potato salad recipes, leg washing debates, and concrete proof that right-wingers don’t have the grasp on the grammatically correct English language they think they do. To be fair, many of us understand that version of Twitter never went anywhere, but Musk buying the platform with his ‘hate speech is still free speech’ head-a** means the algorithm will likely never be fixed and we’ll still be seeing election fraud misinformation in our feeds first thing in the morning.

Anyway, while we’re all concerned about what this all means for the future of Twitter, no one seems to be more upset about it than Manager Luther King himself, Shaun King.

Shaun King deleted his Twitter account, y’all.

Syke! No, he didn’t.

On Tuesday morning, Talcum X was trending because everyone thought the digital dumping ground of diet activism and Blackless pro-Blackness that is his Twitter account had been deleted shortly after he declared that Musk purchasing Twitter was “about white power.”

Side note: For those who aren’t familiar with King, “Talcum X” is one of his many Shaun king nicknames mostly coined by the great minds at Black Twitter.

I’m just here to do my yearly Shaun King post. Cause the comedy of twitter is still unmatched. pic.twitter.com/OMCwFeWX8e

So, everyone thought King was gone from Twitter. Right-wingers celebrated the news as some kind of “stick it to the leftists” victory.

Meanwhile, bruh, we didn’t give a damn about Snow Budden leaving Twitter—we were just cowling him like we always do.

Some were mad at Black Twitter and White Power Twitter appearing to join forces is dragging Fret Hampton.

Black people making Shaun King jokes with Maga Conservatives and siding with Elon Musk on Al Gore’s Internet. The clownery. They literally making Martin Luther Cream jokes.

Of course, none of this ended up mattering because the King of syking yo’ mind did not leave Twitter.

You wish, motherfucker.

I didn’t delete my account.

I was getting death threats and hack attempts from your buddies who stormed the Capitol and had to make it more secure.

Good luck not perjuring yourself when you testify before the January 6th committee. https://t.co/T0Q7skDwJ4

King appeared to claim he temporarily deactivated his account because he was “getting death threats and hack attempts from your buddies who stormed the Capitol and had to make it more secure,” in response to Donald Trump Jr. joining the celebration of King’s exit, which turns out to be “Fake news,” aka the only kind of news the Trump family deals in.

But Shaun is back and he’s back with plenty more smoke (or talcum powder?) for Musk.

From 2016 on, 90 different formal complaints were filed against @ElonMusk and Tesla for years of unchecked overt racism and white supremacy in his work environment.

Since @ElonMusk says ALL legal speech should be allowed on Twitter, is he aware that it’s legal to advocate for underage sex with children?

It’s unethical and gross.
It currently violates Twitter’s terms of service.

But it’s legal.

Will that now be allowed?

Be specific.

Well, that was fun.
