I'm gonna laugh if this is all some insane stocks and writeoff ploy to short Tesla or Twitter to further Methuselize billionares or generate funding for more bullshit

The most generous interpretation you could give of this situation is that he is creating a massive mess on purpose as some sort of stock market blood sacrifice in order to perform valuation alchemy. Elon basically makes all of his money through his brand and influence rather than making actual useful products that benefit society, so maybe he just wanted to kill Twitter so he wouldn't have to engage in the work of actually managing it.

It's 2022 and you can call the world's richest man a little whiny baby man to his face and without fail every time he gets legit mad and acts like a little whiny baby man and not only can anyone on the planet do it whenever they want, he keeps coming back for more.

Elon was absolutely an SA poster and very likely got run out of FYAD for being insanely unfunny almost immediately. This is someone who never recovered from being told to get out and just wanted to bbe a moderator. I have zero doubt anymore

Always reassuring when the CEO of several multi-billion dollar companies (on paper) is making calls as to which individual users are banned/unbanned. I'm a little sad Lowtax isn't around to see this.

If he was still married to Grimes his fans would say all the fake Elons means she can't tell which one is the real one and it's causing distress.

He could have bought an entire beach in a tropical paradise, and spend the rest of his life sitting on it and swimming and eating fruit, and burning $4,000,000 per day to roast the fish he caught in the lagoon. Instead he spent that money on Twitter, and spends every day getting owned and being a little crybaby about it.

star trek picard also had a little angeleno who watched rick and morty who saved the world from global warming, and he probably watched the rick and morty with elon tusk, so that's 2x canonizations of musk in star trek. note though: they took this plot out in the fixed version available for streaming now, and i have to say, it fixed all my problems with the show. give it a watch and if you've watched it already, give it another try.

Elon's grandfather was also the earliest known practicer of chiropractic medicine in Canada. He was a massive dork who wanted to replace Canadian electoral politics with Techocracy, which is basically the concept of unelected scientists nerds running the government. Truly a trailblazing tech bro, it's practically musk family tradition

Incredible. So, being a dumb idiot runs in the family it seems.

I wonder what his notifications situation is like. He responds to randos all the time so I imagine he's reading an embarrassingly high percentage of comments for a famous person. And his replies are even more of a wasteland than the average comment section.

I'm sure a lot of people have the same idea, so the premiums could be pricey, but that's the way to do it.

DO NOT DO THIS.

Trump is genuinely confident enough to have that translate in his posts. There's something about Elon that reads as insecure and desperate in his campaign to seem "with it." Trump is just out here taking shots at people, meanwhile Elon is posting relatable Facebook memes like when you put in the USB wrong haha!!! for an audience of grifter's all mewling for him to talk up their crypto currency

Trump is an accidental comedy genius on Twitter. The character limit elevated his craft whereas being able to vomit words on Truth Social made him unbearably boring. Like I don't have to think hard to come up with at least top 5 insane Trump tweets that make me lol. 9/11 haters and losers. I'll still drink that garbage. Many such cases. great brain, good genes. My button works!

Elon is just unbelievably unfunny and trying so so hard. Not even in the same realm. He's like Michael Scott without being a likable doofus.

It's a pity that Mastodon's not gonna work out for reasons lots of people have said already; if there was an obvious successor that wasn't fundamentally flawed it'd be a go-er but there's just too many issues with Mastodon's structure for it to become the new twitter.
