Up to 42% no. Getting big “stop the count” energy from watching it slowly tick up.

I don’t honestly care that much what the ultimate decision is, I just want all of the “Trump loses third popular vote” headlines this should generate. And you know that fucker is sitting in a dark room starting at this thing.

4,104,328 votes votes

No up to 44% now.

Thing is, he’ll reinstate Trump regardless. If folks vote yes then he can go ‘well twitter voted yes’ and if they vote no he’ll’do it for the lols’ or whatever.

Bonus comedy: Trump only gets to come back to a broken and I working twitter, and then rages because of it.

Was thinking about this, would Trump even want to leave his own truth social network? He's so full of himself I guess he would come back and just spend every tweet talking about how much better truth social is and how much Elon would beg him like a dog when he was president or whatever like that post he made a while ago.

There's no way for a second he's not going to where he has the exponentially bigger audience.

But yeah, Elon actually getting Trump's personal attention is going to be lol.

Hasn't Elon snubbed Trumpism in the past?

Because Elon going, "okay Donald, welcome back!" and Trump going, "lol fuckoff nerd" would be absolutely hilarious.

You need some quotation marks around "review the data", because he ain't gonna do that.

Probably at one point but like all of these shitbags Elon kissed the ring like everyone else. Trump's reaction to meeting him though was this massive rant he made on his truth network or whatever LOL





So like on the one hand as someone whose projects are always massive failures, it would make sense for Trump to come back, but at the same time I wonder of Musk crosses over into personal hatred/this guy is a SAD LSOER territory enough that he won't associate with any of his stuff anymore since it would be an admission that truth social is useless.

I wouldn't expect much of anything from this poll, Musk's probably just doing it for the attention. Trump is the ultimate clickbait, after all.

I can't help but wonder how many people pretended to be Twitter employees that Elon actually tried to look up and fire.

The difference is not that Musk is less sane, the difference is that Bezos and Mexican dude (I don't know who you're talking about? Please say more) did not tweet every drat thought that came into their heads. Musk has stepped outside the normal protective PR shell that big-money people have. That's what's unusual: that he's exposed himself in public, not private.

Welp, I'm totally checked out on the Twitter saga. This is such a craven attention seeking behavior that I don't think I can feel ethical giving Elon what he's so desperately craving, and I suspect that this is going to confirm a lot of advertisers' decisions to leave Twitter be for at least the next few quarters. Even if the website doesn't crash and burn, I think it's destined to be a permanent money pit.

Elon Musk could have paid every employee (before firings and resignations) five million dollars and it would have cost him less than the purchase.

He’d have enough in change to ostensibly end world hunger.

I actually wonder how much his purchase did funnel into Twitter employees. It seems like the kind of company that would shovel out ownership pretty generously at some point in its lifecycle.

It probably wasn't his intention but he basically just destroyed Truth Social and DWAC. The merger is never going to happen now and I doubt Trump is actually going to self-fund Truth when he can just tweet instead

Tesla at least earns a courtesy point for not plowing full-speed through an unknown object, as opposed to what a self-driving Uber would do.
