Elon Musk breaks Twitter silence with tribute to Technoblade

Elon Musk, who is in the process of buying Twitter, broke his silence on the social media platform on Friday after more than a week of silence.

The tech billionaire and Tesla CEO first tweeted from his personal account on June 21. The message, sent to his more than 100 million followers, was a tribute to a popular YouTuber who died of cancer.

In other posts, he shared a recent photo of himself with four of his children and Pope Francis. “Honored to meet @Pontifex yesterday,” Musk tweeted. He also tweeted throwback photos of himself in Venice with ex-wife Tallulah Riley.

Musk’s tweet honoring the late YouTuber included the following description: “Popular Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade with 12 billion subscribers recently passed away at the age of 23 due to cancer and this made [me] realize that cancer is [an] an absurd piece of literal garbage and death, but also try to live your best life with people who know. They can die the next day and you’ll regret not doing things with them. The tribute included a quote from Sonic the Hedgehog.
