TSR Who's running the TSR3 social media accounts?

Ernie Gygax (before he and Stephen Dinehart accused the whole affair of being orchestrated by WotC and then deleted their Twitter accounts) indicated that Justin LaNasa was running the social media accounts for TSR3, Giantlands, and Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum.

After a full week of insults, barbed exchanges, and problematic statements from all three accounts, the following has been posted by somebody who identified themselves as "Michael", perhaps suggesting that Justin LaNasa is no longer with the company (which seems unlikely), leaving many on social media to question whether "Michael" exists. The new TSR3 was founded by LaNasa, Stephen Dinehart, and Ernie Gygax, and despite the acrinomious social media activity, the former two founders' names have largely escaped much of the criticism.

UPDATE -- the below tweets now appear to have been deleted.

Around the same time, the header above the available events at the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum website was altered to read: "Most role playing games will be played in old school fashion so if you're easliy offended or Rude ! DO NOT PLAY !" (sic)

So who is TSR3 co-founder Justin LaNasa? He was an American politician who ran for office in 2014 and 2020, and who was involved in a minor scandal during the latter campaign.

Ok, I am a bit confused on something. My brain was damaged by high fevers and 6 weeks of induced coma almost 10 years ago and I get a 'processing error' on some things, such as this.
I have
1. TSR: owned by EGG sr., stolen by M. Weiss and co, went bankrupt.
2. bought by WoTC, via R. Dancey and resurrected and labled 3rd ed and to present .. .. ..
3. there was a 2nd TSR, on the old liscense run by a Justin D. [?]
4. Justin allegedly let the liscense lapse and it is taken up by someoneon twitter known as 'Mike' who says Justin was let go.

Do I have this right? did TSR 2 change to solariam games or did TSR 3 do that?
 



You'd think so - but that would smack of "wokeness", "political correctness", and all-around decent behavior - anathema to certain types of antagonistic people.
It almost makes me want to run a "woke, politically correct" game at that D&D museum. And when they freak out because, gasp, PoC and LGBT+ players and characters, I would point at the sign and tell them that the game was only for people who aren't easily offended.
