If you think Lisa Ann bears a striking resemblance to former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, it’s no coincidence. The former adult film star became famous for parodying Palin in her videos.
“Something I really hope Elon Musk takes a step ahead and says, ‘We’re not doing this anymore, and if we are, you’ll have to enter in your birthday, there will have to be an ID situation,’” she said on her podcast, The Lisa Ann Experience, last week.
“There will be levels to this s—, that’s what I’m hoping.”
The now-fantasy sports expert added that her former film career has nothing to do with what she wants Musk to do with Twitter.

“Yes, I did porn for many years of my life, and I’m not hiding my past as people tell me every day on social media when I’m wearing clothes, ‘Why are you trying to deny your past? You’re this, you’re that,’” she said.
“I’m not, I’m just evolving, and we’re all allowed to evolve,” she explained. “So my disdain for porn on social media has nothing to do with porn, other than the fact that you are sharing it on platforms that have no age gate.”
While Facebook and Instagram do not allow nudity or X-rated content, porn is permitted on Twitter, though users are not allowed to have explicit profile photos, header images or in live-feed posts.
When posting pornographic material, the user must mark the account as sensitive, which sends out a warning message to readers who must agree they want to see the content.
In Musk’s infamous takeover bid, he vowed that it would be a place of free speech. Whether accessibility to porn for any user of any age remains to be seen.
