No one tell Musk it's related to planetquake because the retro nostalgia would make it an immediate buy for Muskie

Lol as his co-podcast host mentions in the replies, Griffin has a Disney movie he’s in (he voices the sidekick in Disenchanted) that he needs to promote in a couple weeks! Whoops!!

Not sure I care much about the when so much as the how of his eventual, irrevocable lawn darting
Will he reprise a classic from the heydays of 2000 or 1929, or will he culminate everything with an idiosyncratic gesture of what it means "to do an elon"

It seems like an easy way to get around the obvious name change issues with $8 blue checks would be to force users to have their twitter display name be whatever name is on the credit card they used to buy it.

I don't know anything about website tech though, so would this have even been practical or possible?

I mean it’s very very easy, but also a very bad idea for like a hundred reasons. One reason is that people have different names for different reasons. Are you gonna make Tom Cruise’s twitter account say “Thomas Mapother”?

not to mention every trans person I know including me has at least one credit card with the wrong name on it and many don’t have any with the right name.

and also the podcast account someone mentioned earlier, probably don’t want that to say the name of the person who runs it, right? Etc etc etc

Names are famously really hard to get right.

I don't want this to end until he says something unforgivable by even right-leaning people. Strong odds for a racist rant, but I'll take what we can get.

His techbro cult will never abandon him, of course, and anything that would turn off normal people would only endear him to hardcore chuds.

Who spends more time egoscrolling, Musk or Trump?

Trump can't read beyond a third grade level, and his attention span is about the same.

Musk can actually read and get way more angry at being mocked in funny ways.

Trump has to get his angry from FOX News type TV stuff spoon fed, and absolutely cannot understand humor.

Both bad though.
