Forcing employees to sleep overnight in the office and all weekend + "hey now's a good time to remind you all about NDAs" + removing all janitorial staff and their prying eyes (+ removing all the coffee machines?!) is like the opening scene of a horror movie or murder mystery.

I use Tweetdeck with the trending topics set to UK and it mostly seems OK. But recently I've been opening up the main twitter.com UK trends and increasingly odd stuff is starting to make its way in there.

Yesterday "Queen" was trending with 800K+ posts and it was just random tweets that featured the word "queen" but with no specific trend.

At the same time "Laptop" was trending with 1.7K curated posts about Hunter's laptop which didn't seem to be from UK posters because nobody here remotely cares about it outside of internet weirdos like me.

I've also noticed a lot of American only stuff leading into the UK trending topics recently. You know instead of the name of 9 footballers and 1 Tory everyone is calling a oval office like normal.

Flashing back to when Trump was freaking out on a daily basis about FIND THE LEAKER when there were news stories coming out about how dysfunctional and insane his Oval Office was, and when he brough in the Mooch to FIND THE LEAKER

Elon just going through Trump's old tweets like a script to reenact

The nonstop firing and resignations of Trump's first year inspired one of my favorite Goon Christmas songs. Especially the part of the MOOCH: "I got rid of the leak! Whoever that was. It was Reince."

He controls about 25% of Tesla, gonna be hard to dig him out. The only silver lining there is last I heard about half his shares are being used as collateral for loans so I suppose if something crashes hard enough he'll be forced to liquidate

Both companies' safest bet right now is probably to keep as quiet as possible since Melon spends all of his time posting on Twitter and dorming it up with his live-in employees at the office. They probably haven't heard much from him in weeks at this point, so the last thing they want to do now is remind him that there are two other companies he could implement his newfound love for hardcore at.

SpaceX can't, Elon owns a controlling share.

I'm sure all the SpaceX people are very happy that Elon has a different set of jingling keys to be distracted by.

Only 20% now! It's getting easier every time he has to sell tesla to keep the lights on in twitter! OTOH no way are half his shares being used as collateral -- he sold off a lot of shares to put real cash into the twitter deal. If there are still loans with tesla collateral they're smaller.

However, there's a lawsuit about his compensation & bonuses at tesla, we'll have to see where that goes. I think it's vaguely possible that he could be forced to give back some of the $50 billion worth of shares he was given in bonuses for stock price targets.

This is just how trending topics has always worked for me. Like "Labour" would trend in New Zealand but it's pages and pages of tweets about foreign political parties that happen to also be named Labour with only one or two local tweets about our political party's headlines.
