They include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg privately offering to use his social platforms to help Musk’s interests,
Musk insulting Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos (twice)

An announcement: Many of you may know that I am in a long-distance relationship. My fiancée @… has recently made some serious progress in searching for a house where the both of us can live, so it's looking more and more likely that I will be leaving New Hampshire to go live with her soon. For this reason, I'd like to announce that I won't be running for reelection in 2026. There are 2 candidates that I know of who have expressed interest in filling my seat for me after I leave: Tom Brennan and Jason Quinno. Either of them would be strong progressives who align with my values, so I encourage any constituents to vote for either of them in the contested primary this September.
