@elonmusk, some creepy dude compiled a list including myself and other #TwitterBlue customers and has posted it to an external site. I've reported the account for abusive behaviour, but he's blocked me (and presumably everyone else on his hit-list). Is this sort of thing allowed? @elonmusk @vjeannek, you're beating @Shem_Infinite in the rankings! You're TWO behind @YellowFlashGuy! Bravo, tbh!

If your position is that DeSantis *should* challenge him in a primary, it sort of kills arguments that it's surprising/upsetting when he's put in President Trump's crosshairs. Either he's a threat and is fair game, or he's an ally and the attacks should be curbed. Can't be both. The timing is also important. There's a good amount of time between now and the primary. Better to get everything out of the way now and rally supporters later than for it to blow up in everyone's face in the middle of a primary in which the point-of-no-return has been passed.

DeSantis should either concretely state he's not running in 2024, or he should admit it and come out with it already. But he'll do neither, because that would impact his fundraising capabilities in regards to the wealthy GOP donors who are coalescing behind him as an alternative. Many people are ignorant of the fact that DeSantis' proxies have been going after Trump for months, many of them declaring his political career over back in 2021 (or earlier).
