I mean, for all we knew, this could have been a foreign actor, right, or someone \u2014 we just didn\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also told Brian Stelter that Lib of TikTok was \u201ctargeting\u201d LGBT people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis woman is targeting LGBTQ folks. I mean, she brags about getting multiple teachers fired. You know, the entire goal of the account is direct hate to trans and LGBTQ people,\u201d she claimed. \u201cYou know, she said that she doesn\u2019t believe gay people who come out should be allowed to teach children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Libs of TikTok has posted videos of purported teachers discussing how they have talked about gender and sexual identity with students, as well as makings disparaging comments about students\u2019 parents.<\/p>\n<p><span>Truth Social was launched as a competitor to Twitter, which is itself undergoing a potential change in leadership as Tesla founder and billionaire Elon Musk has offered to buy the company in cash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Daily Wire <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twitter-facing-mounting-pressure-from-shareholders-to-take-specific-action-over-potential-buyout-report\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> yesterday that Musk and the company were set to meet to discuss the potential buyout.
