I do get a good number of promoted tweets, but none of the “suggested” ones. Probably because I use the “latest tweets” view and not the default one. That seems to insulate me from the right wing crap.

Definitely a lot fewer of them though, and the content seems to have changed from TV and movie promos to financial services and drop shipped garbage.

The hellsite is still worth it for stuff like this.

I don’t know what’s funnier - the fact that he’s THAT mad at 5:30am or that’s the best insult the world’s formerly richest man could come up with

He thinks he's owning her because she once said "how dare you?" a few times in a speech. It'd definitely play with folks like my old man who don't regret the time they spent trying to poo poo on her for veering out of both the "child" and "female" lanes too much for their tastes. It's one of their shithead calls or whatever.

It reads like he's a tiny dick steroid jacked poopy pants man-baby who can't take even the slightest joke about his extremely not wierd or insecure at all masculinity, much like Elon talking about a dude's tiny testicles (lmao does Elon even know what part people like to be big during sex?)

It really is like a bunch of stunted 12 year old shitkid boys, complete with the level of put downs someone fond of eating glue would make.

Yr post sounded a lot like *you* were the one saying it wouldn't go below $109, and the tesla bubble only started in 2019. That's why I and others thought it was dumb, when it was just poorly worded. Sorry bout that.

in threads with lots of dumb opinions being mocked that happens a lot. putting more distance between the dumb part and your own bit helps.

So I wonder how long it will be until Elon and his blue checkered band of sycophants will be able to replace the lamestream, legacy media.

I'm getting tired of going to all these different websites for well written, coherent news and opinion content.

It also doesn’t actually increase your need to drive at all so the only increase in emissions compared to having one car is the ones created by manufacturing.

If I was gonna have 33 cars, they'd be classic pieces I'd restored by hand as a hobby. And I'd showcase and document each one extensively for general historic photos and so others can enjoy them.

I'm guessing he just splurged on $expensive cars because he's got a small dick.

Yeah, it's absolutely the weakest poo poo to anybody outside that bubble that for some reason loves to dog-whistle the old standards forever. It's less about getting a laugh, and more about reenforcing the three parentheses, I think.

Also maybe compensating for the fact that he can't go to the US because he'd be arrested for human trafficking?

Like, I don't have 33 cars but I can move freely in the USA without being arrested.

Oh god no, I just clicked through a link that showed up on here where some finance guy had poured his soul into doing incredibly complicated maths in an attempt to convince people that, no really, it’s not going to bounce back guys, the real traders are getting out at $109 please don’t lose your pensions

His brain is just too big for nice hobbies like reading or restoring classic cars.

I'm trying to figure out what comes first with people like Trump and Musk.

Does something trigger brain damage or depression or another personality changing event cause them to suddenly pay more attention to the rantings of some of the dumbest people on the planet?

Or

Is the admiration of some of the dumbest people on the planet so much like a drug that once you get a taste of millions of people who can barely spell their own name cheering for you, you just go full bore?

I really want to know about this too.

That plus the "are they stupid or just delusional" question.

As for the above, I have to imagine ego is a huge driver, and all the positive feedback you get from having placed one foot on the chud grift slippery slope just inexorably leads you further down it, because to do otherwise means facing uncomfortable facts about yourself and asking yourself "are these really the people I want to associate myself with?" And then painfully reversing course, publicly questioning your motivations, repudiating your past actions. Nobody wants that pain. Way easier to just avoid it all because those cheers just feel soooo goooood.

Trump got eaten by that monster, Elon is doing it now. They both flung themselves bodily into its mouth, which tells you right away that by not even resisting it they had no actual character to begin with.

I love that stupid overly loud and pointless bell they have for opening and closing the stock markets on Wall street that I've just sort of become aware of in the last couple weeks. It's like the absolute perfect summation of capitalist greed and the casino like "sound of winning" nature of the whole drat thing. It feels like an idea Donald Trump would have come up with basically.
