So does he own twitter now? Is he going to pretend it all went to plan because lord knows he can't lose face at all?

He's going to impregnate them first and then fire them when they ask for maternity leave.

Also I suspect the shed in the back is the sleeping quarters for the "help".

Old habits die hard.

If that shed was where the private investigator lived while Higgins took care of the estate while Musk was away, MAYBE I would give him a point for being cool by association. But then he would make Magnum drive a factory reject Tesla instead of a Ferrari.

Not geeks. "Geeks". The "I watched a marvel tv show, I'm such a geek!" people. The ones who loving love science. People who think Elon Musk is a genius.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you know the answer to that.

Unless it actually starts to become unusable I doubt many people will actually leave.

...i mean elon might actually be able to gently caress twitter up enough that it does become pretty unusable.

What's the over/under on Musk having zero self control and unbanning Trump, flooding the entirety of Twitter with sewerage? The worst thing about Trump was that he was freaking everywhere even if you were looking at tweets about chinchillas or knitting.

Part of me does feel Musk would do absolutely nothing with Twitter in so much he's the type of person who would buy Twitter in hopes of getting complete control over the platform. He's exactly like the type of loser forum mod who would edit your posts just to win internet arguments out of kind benevolence because you were saying things incorrectly :angel:

I can't tell if he's wearing a Victorian style corset, or if he did some bad Photoshop body contouring on his pic after the fact.

I’m back in the it’s not happening camp. I think he’s floundering because he can’t get all the money.

Really it’s a vote for more drama because I think Musk owning Twitter will end up pretty boring and uneventful.
