He can call it Tesler.

I’m no contract lawyer or nothing, but I think it takes more than a claim of “so-and-so asserts their rights to do whatever” to weasel out of a signed deal, especially when said so-and-so waived the due diligence proceedings.

I imagine (or at least would hope) that Edong is still on the hook for the $1B penalty if he backs out, to say nothing of a possible civil suit for who knows what kind of libelous poo poo is going to accompany it.

haven't read the thread but i think his first LP primitive plus was loving amazing, even though beauty and the beat gets all the critical praise. not a lot of MCs are the full package - DJing, producing, rhyming. at shows he used to beat juggle doubles with one hand while holding a mic and rapping with the other. ive never seen that poo poo before or since.

it's just a shame that he hasn't been as prolific with solo material since 2005, but the trickle of guest spots and one-off tracks shows he hasn't fallen off. still hoping for a third album.

Given Musk is basically as addicted to Twitter as Trump was, banning him "just cos" would be glorious. It would probably force through the sale too because he's exactly the sort of person you'd imagine would be determined to buy the company just to unban himself.

What'd be best is to hold all of his new posts for 12-24 hours for "moderation" so that he doesn't get that little dopamine rush of being validated immediately and his whining on the platform would be an absolute joy.

Because Musk is demanding the bot/spam data, the banks financing the deal are going to demand it as well so that could kill the deal right there.

And probably any future financing, not just for twitter, but for all social media will require in depth disclosures on bot and spam activity. And hopefully a much closer look at the companies overall.

What he's demanding now is the underlying raw data, also known as "Twitter's entire database"

lmao that's a consumer protection act

who in texas is being harmed by the % of bot accounts on twitter? twitter is free. to be covered it specifically has to be a good or service purchased for money.

and I doubt consumer protection can stretch to buying a whole company.

crazy frog is definitely packin', it's probably the only nice thing you can say about it

edit: gonna do the math to prove this

starting with the image here: https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/tech/news/crazy-frog-is-getting-death-threats-over-nft-collection-8203/

i'm counting about 55 pixels from base to tip, and about 820 pixels from heel to just above where the helmet meets the forehead. so that's a ratio of about 0.067 penis to height. scale that up to a male human's height (~6 feet) and that's 4.8 inches, flaccid of course. it's obvious crazy frog is a grower, so i'm gonna guess an additional 3 inches hard. so we're talkin' just shy of 8 inches here, folks.

not at all. he signed a deal that he *could* get a margin loan against tesla. but he hasn't bought twitter yet, so nothing has actually happened.

and now it looks like he's not doing margin loans against tesla stock at all, but instead going to private equity.
