I remember reading that is was actually worth something like $8 billion but Musk paid what he did because 420 lulz.

Before he offered the weed number, shares were actually pretty high. Mostly because Musk was buying that poo poo not-so-secretly.

There was something recently, post purchase, to suggest it was probably down to around $8 billion. Probably even less now, unless selling all the kitchen equipment solved everything.

It’s pretty funny the comments are completely at odds with the number of likes. The replies are almost universally people dunking on him, highlighting his hypocrisy or the chilling effect it’ll have on a pretty common and positive use of Twitter.

Did he actually get rid of all bots or something?

He absolutely did not get rid of the bots, you can click through "Likes" and check a few accounts and confirm that there are plenty bots

to an extent, maybe? but apparently they just blocked the ISPs the bots were primarily coming from, and cut off many real users in russia, india and indonesia in the process

why would an established manufacturer like GM go out of its way to tie its name to a semifunctional car gimmick that's only presently useful, if at all, to large institutions that mostly don't make shopping decisions based on Reddit discourse

i dont know maybe ask them? my guess is they see it more as a test than a gimmick, in any case my point is it's not hypothetical and its nothing to do with musk

I'm the dev terrified of losing my visa and present to Musk at the mandatory 3AM all hands meeting, the revised "no bot liking" algorithm.

It just automatically increases his likes by thousands every minute. He asks to see the code for this new development and you present, on your knees, the works of William Shakespeare but switched to the wingdings font.

Musk is pleased.

I will be able to remain in the country and send money back to my family for now.

Please enjoy the original song where that line is from:
"21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson. There's a line in there that feels apropos to Muskmelon: "Nothing he's got he really needs"

There's a real easy solution to this, don't fly on your personal private jet you loving jerkoff. I can stick an antenna out my window and pick up ADS-B or just pay someone for an API feed.

The adsbexchange api isn’t free (and scraping the site will get you rate limited real fuckin quick) but openskies does have a free api. I’m pretty sure that’s the one that elonjet was using.
