This guy just suddenly started popping up in my feed. Never heard of him but this was the third tweet today. Honestly thought he was being ironic but nope…he genuinely believes this.

somehow I don’t think Elon inventing a literal burner phone is going to make a dent in apple’s stock. Why do they all think Elon can just buy apple? Are they thinking of an apple?

He is also a financial expert on some of their shows and he always has that belt on his shoulder. It’s really frigging weird

similar energy as those guys who were like 'no russia totally meant to get thousands of vehicles blown up in Ukraine, it means that they're winning actually'

Don't forget that Elon's dumb cosplay suit had a pentagram on it or resembled some Satanic imagery and now a bunch of his supporters turned on him and think he's pushing Satanism on his platform.

Yeah one big reason Twitter couldn't auto-clamp-down on bots is the only way to hit a decent number of bots is with plenty of false positives too, I get the feeling Elon doesn't care about that.

(That said the other chance is that this won't really be targeting bots at all, just people he disagrees with or people who like posts he disagrees with, because of course they must be bots!)

Anytime you see someone like this, like Boebert or MTG, or some Nazi saying DeSantis would be the first catholic president, it's because they're driving up their engagement so the algorithm puts them on more screens.

Because he's ~*~the richest man in the world~*~ (not really, especially now) and they think that he has more money than everyone and everything so he can just Richie Rich his way out of problems.

The idea that there are things in this world Elon can't actually afford is completely alien to this mindset. He is The Richest, therefore he can buy All The Things.

It's hilarious because actual Big tech like Apple is worth somewhere in the 2300 billion range, and Egroin is chump change to that at 190 billion at best.

He just hoards all of his money and donates nothing to charity. It's the only reason he's the "single richest Person in the world" (on paper: there are definitely dictators that have him beat with their actual assets, like Putin)

It's a meaningless, ego driven title, but hey that's the dude's entire life right?

This tactic worked brilliantly for Epic Games as I recall, who pulled a similar stunt and then got Fortnite booted off the App Store, before substantively losing in court when they challenged Apple's position.

I wonder if he will think that crypto is the answer to his prayers? If people pay in Doge then Apple and Google are bypassed! I'm sure neither company has ever thought of that nor have any rules about such tactics.
