Shaun King, a.k.a. Talcum X

Activist Shaun King deleted his Twitter account on Monday, not long after tweeting that Musk's purchase of the social media site is "about white power." He reactivated it on Tuesday and changed his bio to "I'm still here m***** f******."

King is an American writer and civil rights activist who came to prominence at the start of the Black Lives Matter movement. He's since faced a number of allegations he mishandled or mismanaged charitable funds, which he has denied.

Hours before he deactivated his Twitter account he pointed to Musk's upbringing in South Africa as supposed evidence of his racism. "At its root, Elon Musk wanting to purchase Twitter is not about left vs right. It's about white power," King tweeted before the takeover was confirmed.

"The man was raised in Apartheid by a white nationalist. He's upset that Twitter won't allow white nationalists to target/harass people. That's his definition of free speech."

And here is a story in the New York Post that gives lots more detail. I'm not sure if NYP is allowed back on Twitter (yet). https://nypost.com/2022/04/26/shaun-king-other-liberals-delete-twitter-i...
