CELEB TWEETS
* Bill Maher (@billmaher): Signature Bank failed because it was heavily invested in crypto. One sign you’re a terrible bank is when you run out of imaginary money.
* Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama): For more than 26 years, @Oprah has been celebrating the magic of books and has built an amazing community of readers—and I’m lucky my own memoir is a part of it! Oprah, congratulations on your 100th book selection, Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano! I can’t wait to read it.
* Kevin Pietersen (@KP24): Hoping @ElonMusk wakes up one day and says to himself, there’s way too much animosity/hatred/abuse on @Twitter and it’s actually causing more harm than good to our planet, takes a $44B hit on his cash, and turns the Twitter switch off.
He wants to save us all, right?!
