wait, now that elon's a republican & soon-to-be maga guy, will there eventually be a subset of coal-rolling chuds who transition to buying electric cars to own the libs?

There is no "soon-to-be"; he's just speaking a bit more clearly now for his audience.

Not as bad as it sounds since Twitter's misinformation policy was "Yes, please."

It likely means those tags that automatically appear on election misinfo will no longer be used.

It's so stupid and petty of me to pick on the spelling of all things, but -- this reminds me of that "joke" about the Catholic priest who dies and goes to heaven and comes running screaming out of the Heavenly Temple or whatever it is where the holy scrolls are kept and yelling that "There's an R!

Oh man the life saving and not at all completely half-assed zero effort measures that @Jack and his dipshits put in place to avoid lawsuits? Whatever will we do without these guardrails of civilization?!

No one should believe anything on that garbage dump of a site that Jack built

I'm going to be honest: I'm straight up delighted Twitter is burning to ashes: it was a Consortium of loving Nazis masquerading as Liberterian "FREE SPEECH", was the cause of much of the tension and carnage that this last stupid hell-decade has been built of. Twitter's invention was a net negative for the entire god damned planet

Musk putting the final mail in the loving coffin while he straps himself inside is just the :discourse: end to one of the worst websites ever concieved by humankind

No, the court was absolutely going to enforce the contract. He told Twitter's shareholders he was going to give them 3x what their shares were worth, and make them immune to any future fluctuations in Twitter's value because they no longer own the shares. It was literally tens of billions of dollars in free money with no strings attached. No way they're staying on the hook for Twitter's future value and letting him walk away when they have that option on the table.

Yah, ESPECIALLY that court. When I heard the case was going to that Delaware court, I invested into Twitter because I knew they were going to enforce the deal no matter what evidence they bring in ; Musk signed poo poo, Musk will pay for it.

Of course, as soon as the case was done and all the boomers/wall street bets/idiots investors started investing more into Twitter, I dipped out keeping the profits

And now Twitter: :tif:

Ah yes just what Twitter needs: all of the Wise Ones having enough of these childish shenanigans and going eh I’ll just consult

Bet the recent sale probably padded their net worth out pretty good too.

On the corporate side it’s blindingly obvious when management capitulates to that 58 year old lady who’s been doing low level custom kernel maintenance on some critical servers for longer than most recent hires have been alive.

Invested with money. Unless Elon agrees to buy Truth Social from him or some other sort of monetary deal, I dunno if we will see him go to Twitter. You're right, his ego might drive him back, but he's been off the Twitter teat for so long now he doesn't need it when everyone else just reposts everything for him on Twitter anyway.

Re: why NASA is slow as gently caress. It's not NASA it's Congress. They're a bunch of pork barreling cretins and will do poo poo like sign off on NASA designing a new rocket but only if it uses the rocket boosters made in district X, and engines made in district y, which obviously will be the same engines from 1963 which haven't been changed since, but the local congressmen wants to KEEP THE JERBS IN BUMFUCK ALABAMA HOO BOI HOWDY. It's the same crap that leads to Congress forcing the army to accept delivery of like 4000 tanks they never asked or budgeted for to be scrapped after ten years to keep an engine plant in Detroit open.

Spacex doesn't get these kind of problems which is why on paper it's much more effective.

I am very conservative. For all I knew, Elon would never get the funding or would do stupid things like mothballing SpaceX or some other idiot move to make the money.
