FIFTY. SIX. BILLION. DOLLARS.

They pay this incontinent illiterate jackass $56 Billion!

10s of thousands of people struggle to pay for living space and food in the United States alone, and this human shart get $56 Billion for essentially nothing.

Whoa. That one surprised me. Never would have suspected.

$56,000,000,000 to work three days a week for a year. What a loving prick. As well as the people who gave it too him.

I hadn't seen this story before, a shareholder of Tesla is taking Musk and the company to court this month because Musk's insane ~$50 billion pay package as CEO of Tesla doesn't actually require him to spend any time running the company. The trial starts next week, so it's a perfect time for Musk to be publicly wasting all his time posting on Twitter. It is also taking place at the same court and with the same judge as the Twitter buyout lawsuit.

I hope he's still posting then. I hope he never stops posting.

I'm sure he's already leaking DMs received and sent by democratic leaders on Twitter to his GOP pals. Especially now that's publically all-in on Republicans needing to win.

EU has the right idea of getting all of their official gov't services off Twitter ASAP.

Also I am watching real time someone's support network implode, so now I hate Musk even more. If he was a *regular* fuckwit owner, it would take more time to run into the ground and there would be a more organized movement to other platforms. But no, he's gotta get the speedrun top spot.

If I remember the musk lore correctly, his grandfather was a failed politician who believed the Canadian government was being taken over by the Jews . So seeing Nazis probably makes him nostalgic for pop pop

I really do hope this is the end of the MUSK = GENIUS narrative in the media

The hardcore Musk devotees are like hardcore Trump voters. To them, he is flawless, unless maybe they go completely broke like to the point that they're hobos on the street (which'll never happen) and even if it did they'll point to it as THE SYSTEM trying to keep this genius from changing the world.
