Elon Musk recently changed his Twitter display name to Harry Bōlz, as reported by Dana Bash on CNN.^[1]^[2]^[3] Going by the similarity, it seems that he may have drawn some inspiration from Mayor Baals.

However, Musk subsequently reverted his display name,^[3] although he has also previously used the moniker in April 2023.^[2]

Without actual confirmation of "inspiration", it's WP:OR to assume Musk knows who Harry Baals was, and irrelevant to a biography of Baals. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:46, 12 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Should be "served" instead of "severed":

"A member of the Republican Party, he severed as mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana, from 1934 to 1947, and from 1951 until his death in 1954" ~2026-26646-16 (talk) 01:27, 3 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
