Late 2023 but will also include Alex Jones who they both paid 1billion to have a friend by paying off his debt and now is sitting pretty with 500m of each of their money making him the third billionaire stooge. (In this scenario the parents have clearly been paid from the other billion)

Travel is generally compensated too but I have no idea how much of that sum is actual travel vs commuting.

Looking forward to the Saudi and Russian governments creating millions of fake user accounts which all get blue check marks. Should be a great way to help Elon pay down his debt while he looks the other way as RU and UAE propagandists run wild with the desicated husk of Twitter.

No you see what I was going for here, is that he owns a company who's cars are known to spontaneously combust, and a rocket company, both things he could literally crash and burn in.

Twitter was always going to be his downfall. I just don't think that anybody expected him to buy the company and then run it & much of his personal worth into the ground in the first month. We figured it'd be something like last month's Musk fiasco (Jesus, a month already? Time has no meaning anymore.) where he runs his mouth and ends up in trouble with his main USGov customers.

That said, I'm still waiting for him to declare war on NAFO; I really wanna see Musk lose to a bunch of cartoon dogs.

e: Oh, was joke. Sorry. But I stand by my statement regardless.

interesting question.

if nation states were wise, they wouldn't use the paid verification.

reason: this musk-up has shown people how easy it is to fake an account especially when it is being shown by the media of all the musk accounts. if the original user has left, then this takeover could happen.

now, this would not stop the small time indian phone scams who have just acquired a very useful tool to verify their fake identity.

This is a bit of a digression, but some tech places are getting real into encouraged exercise. One of the places I interviewed with earlier this year had an in-office gym and allowed 2-3 hours of billed hours for working out. They were even honest about it being more about sedentary slobbos being less effective employees than people who are marginally healthy. Another 2 had similar setups but didn't outright pay you for working out.

We had a kid in high school who said he could suck his own dick. He acted like he was the coolest kid, at one point saying that he didn't need a girlfriend because of the fact he could do that.

For like a year straight he hyped this up. At first it was funny, then gross, then sad. On a marching band trip to Florida he actually did it, he sucked his own dick on a bus in front of a bunch of his bandmates. Word got around pretty quickly and the kid was a complete social outcast. It's one thing to imagine someone sucking their own dick. But to see it? And to have it happen in public like that? It's too much.

That kid was still cooler than Elon Musk is.

That kid is cool as gently caress in my books, he walked the walk.

Rockets and electric cars are things normal folks don't interact with, so it's easier to hide his mistakes, and also not everyone is affected by these things

It's true. I sat near some whacked out QAnon guy on a plane recently and among other things he talked about how George Soros and Elon Musk want to imprison our souls in iPods are some nonsense. He was a big deal in the QAnon crowd too. One of the guys Trump gave a press pass too. He has a podcast. On twitter he was known as inthematrixxx. He was in first class traveling to speak at some rally.
