Tim Pool Is Bald, Twitter's Community Notes Clarify

Conservative internet personality Tim Pool is bald, according to Twitter's Community Notes (and pictures of the podcaster himself).

The bizarre factoid became a joke on Twitter / X yesterday after Pool joined a choir of conservative voices declaring they would not go back to wearing a mask amid rising COVID-19 cases. In response, X user @theCJS made a crack about Pool's ever-present beanie, implying he wears it because "society’s opinion on male pattern baldness" "strong armed him" into wearing it "24 hours a day."

As the post picked up steam, X user @peepeelaugh (seemingly a fan of Pool) rebutted the tweet by saying "Tim isn't even bald." Twitter's Community Notes, ever on the alert for misinformation spreading on the app, jumped in to point out that Tim is, in fact, bald.

The post linked to an AMA picture Pool took for /pol/ in 2017 without his beanie, showing that he has little hair on the top of his head.

Tim Pool being bald isn't exactly a secret despite the recent discourse. Pool has been photographed and filmed without his beanie and has also joked about using the beanie as a defense against jokes about his lack of hair.

In 2022, he made a tweet (since deleted) that read, "I went to the hair doctor and they tried everything. truly one of my darkest days. in the end not even wigs and toupees would suffice. As I bowed my head and cried the doctor had an epiphany. THE BEANIE. Perhaps there was a way. I was saved, I found my salvation." This tweet was saved by the website Bald and Happy, which devoted an article to Tim Pool being bald.

The Community Note was widely celebrated on Twitter, with many saying it had completely owned Mr. @peepeelaugh.

While Pool continues to be controversial online, at least it has been established that he is, in fact, bald.
