Elon Musk has broken his silence on Twitter, the social media platform he is buying.
Musk tweeted for the first time from his personal account on Friday, breaking a remarkable nine-day absence from Twitter, with a tribute to a popular YouTuber who died of cancer. He also shared a pair of photos that included a throwback to his 40th birthday party weekend and a recent photo with Pope Francis and four of his sons.

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

Musk’s return to the platform comes as he has tweeted regularly in recent weeks about the Twitter purchase and his dispute over alleged bots on their platform. He has also tweeted about the Biden administration, Ukraine and his possible support of 2024 Republican nominee Ron DeSandis.
