Elon if only there was some way that twitter could... I don't know... Verify that the holder of the account was infact the person they claim to bem that way parody accounts and scammers can't impersonate people.

Also Elon musk thinks that his SNL skit was identity theft of wario.

Not only is Elon constantly F5ing Twitter and reading sick burns and getting his feelings hurt, he's also F5'ing Reddit for more. The only people that like him are the ones that liked him before and are willing to pay him $8 to be his friend as he's exposed as a thin-skinned buffoon more and more every day to everyone else.

Elon could probably literally throw poo poo directly on his die hard fans and they'd praise him for it. They don't see this twitter ordeal as a fiasco, they see it as him being rebellious and "doing what he wants" which makes him super cool to them. He is disrupting the system and rattling the cages. Same logic trumpsters used basically to justify all of the insanity

Never heard that half of the story before, I always figured Musk just threw out “pedo” because white guy living in Thailand. Turns out it’s for an even stupider reason because of course it is.

Sep 28, 2010

Lol I sat in on that trial. It’s even stupider. He called the guy a pedo because he was mad about the child murder sub, and the Thailand thing. Then he spent all week getting mad about it and a random anonymous account messaged him saying they’re an investigator in Thailand that could provide proof about his “child bride” for 50k. Musk paid the guy and then he disappeared

The UK cave diver sued him for defamation per se because being accused of a crime in a defamation case generally awards automatic damages, particulary given the reach of elons voice, as it were.

Elon successfully argued that "pedo guy" was actually a secret, South African slang that only him and his friends (who were just out of shot, agreeing) used to mean creepy old man with no further explanation. The judge bought this in its entirety.

I’m currently in year three of dealing with a finally-diagnosed eating disorder, but gently caress, I’ll toot my own horn here. I hate myself and obsess how others perceive me to a lethal point…but I didn’t spend billions in the process. Chalk that up to a W for ol teen witch.
