James Woods is an actor best known (afaik) for playing Hades in Disney’s Hercules. He’s also a Trump supporter. He recently tweeted that if Elon Musk removes blocking, he will be leaving because it would make Musk’s Twitter just as bad as Jack Dorsey’s, to which Musk replied, “Then delete your account”.

The woman in the cartoon is Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino. Woods also tweeted out a picture of her LinkedIn, which included the fact that she’s previously worked at the World Economic Forum. Trump supporters have opposed the WEF because of some false consciousness about how the WEF is run by liberals and isn’t mask-off enough about supporting the American Empire. Woods captioned the tweet, “Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I wonder how they got to him?”

As far as I can tell, this is the only association between Yaccarino and Woods. So Garrison is saying that Elon has hired her to do the dirty work of silencing conservatives while still publically pretending to be a free speech warrior. So he’s…. kind of right? Just not in the way he thinks. Also, he’s inadvertently positioned cat turds as equivalent to Trump supporters? I don’t know, I don’t go on Twitter.

Also, it sucks to see all the pro-Elon bots here insisting on calling it X. Don’t you know Musk is an authoritarian?
