My internal logic compiler still has a lot of dark matter to account for trying to make sense of it.

If he believed he were near death, so to speak, in a way that mattered to him, then there's no cringe depth limit for him until he meets his apotheosis.

I believe he was also, at some point, a practicing therapist.

Just imagine for a moment that Jorp was your shrink once upon a time.
Have you ever been trying to find a therapist? It's Jorps all the way down.

Sorry not sorry. There's a lot of good therapists with a wealth of learning and experience but they're all booked solid.

It is genuinely impressive that he became a successful billionaire conman with absolutely zero smarts or charisma.

Usually you need at least one of those.

propaganda works. didn't he sue for the right to be known as a founder of SpaceX or Tesla? most people who don't know anything much about the dude assume he either invented PayPal auteur-style or is some sort of tech prodigy

it's insane and dumb but this is the first real time that perception of him has been really challenged

I do not think he sued but rather it was contractual when he bought the company. The two engineer dudes who were the founders were not invested enough in titles and just took the money

Apparently it turns out that Musk will use it to transmit that knockoff image of Calvin pissing on the Chevy logo, but Calvin is impact font labeled "ME" and the Chevy logo is "THE SEC" directly into your brain

So has Trump posted, or is this Elon Musks Dancing Clown Act to convince everyone that Twitter is not dying a slow death?

Musk desperately wants Trump to use Twitter, since his tweets bring a whole load of attention and traffic to his platform. No, Trump hasn’t tweeted yet.

Trump legitimately thinks and has stated multiple times that Elon Musk is a huge loser sycophant who would lick his boots for a handout.

Since Twitter is no longer some faceless platform but Elon Musk’s, I think there’s a good chance Trump has little to no interest in using Twitter.

Important context that I think is worth knowing; he did produce a Ph. D. and it is about the neurological impact of addiction and how that needs to be incorporated in a treatment plan.

His literal doctorate-granting research is about how there’s no shortcut out of addiction and you need to actually deal with the circumstances leading to it and the consequences of trying to drag yourself back out. I'm not posting this to defend his honor or credentials, but because it is the single funniest doctoral thesis the guy who turned down every doctor and rehab in America and chose to go into an experimental Eastern European coma to avoid dealing with going cold turkey could have.

He was also under the belief that benzos weren't that addictive.
Some of the people who were on the board who approved his PhD have expressed regret at their decision.

I m gonna try to not yell about trump too much. But alot of the issues with 2016 and its fallout came from trump being...entertaining....the media just showed trumps brand of trumpism on full blast and twitter benefited alot from trumps antics.

just like how people all have a very different idea if twitter is the "town square" or not.

my personal thoughts are there should be a social media set up similar to twitter public officials and private buisness having them all under one net work with blue checks has lead us to this poo poo show.

I believe he did the coma treatment because he was frustrated with the slow taper doctors at home were recommending for him. He wanted to go cold turkey which just isn't possible for benzos (without weird coma treatments anyway).
