with $44,000,000,000, i would fly everywhere in the world in a jumbo jet with my face painted on it, then constantly shoot cash out of a cannon from the back of my Cadillac while blasting the star spangled banner, high on all the drugs, surrounded by beautiful women and everything until i croak, then donate my body to science

Bad Purchase posted:i've seen porn posted with no content warning sitting pretty high in the replies to tweets the past couple days, i don't think US content moderation is working very well anymore either. i wasn't a heavy twitter user before this, so don't know how normal that was in the past, but i'm guessing not very. porn is allowed on twitter and those “sensitive content” warnings are optional and set by the person posting the image.

I think the postmortem (possibly literal) will show he suffered severe brain damage from a lifetime of huffing his own farts.

Doing so places images and videos behind an interstitial (or warning message), that needs to be acknowledged before your media can be viewed.

If I had Elon's money I'd spend $44 billion to start a maritime version of the Confederate Air Force. There's still a few WW2 era warships in service around the world and I'd buy 'em them and restore them to mostly working order.

PIZZA.BAT posted:he panicked AFTER the market took a dump and he realized twitter had turned into a financial black hole This is the part I don't get. Everyone knew the tech industry was in for a serious Market Correction. All he had to do was put in a lowball bid and sit on it for another 6-12 mo as the market tanked and twitter's valuation crashed, and eventually the stockholders would've accepted much much less. It's not like the company had any prospect of becoming more profitable. e: then again, if his plan was to make money, he wouldn't have bought twitter

If I had Elon musk's money I would probably use it to permanently eliminate homelessness or childhood hunger in the USA. Then I'd buy myself a flying boat and dump the rest into cancer research or something

what if the whole neuralink thing about helping disabled people to walk etc is just a cover for another melon grift to get government money to subsidise the real goal, a direct brain-tweet interface? and then made his team install it directly into his brain because he didn’t want to wait for animal testing and fda approval? what if we’re seeing a preview of the future?
