I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
That dude must of had a hell of a contract, huh?

I hope he told Elon he would think about it, then 9 days from now tweets at him to let him know he's decided to sue.

I like how the best, pro musk spin he could put on it is that the man he committed open libel against is "considering" staying at twitter. That choice of wording stuck out to me too.

He probably got actual lawyers to write it and didn't dismiss their opinions and concerns.

It takes a big man to apologize

Which is why Elon is saying "it's someone else's fault for telling me the wrong stuff, or actually maybe this guy really is the worst but it just isn't that important, whatever, I'm magnanimous :agesilaus:" instead of apologizing

If the call was even real. The dude has claimed he's talked or chatted with people before and it's turned out to be bullshit.

Staying to do what anyway? They'd shuttered his role and locked him out. That position is dead. He's either going to get impossible demands or tasks entirely beneath him.

his job will be to technically be an employee of twitter so they can keep paying for his company in instalments rather than being forced to find the full amount to pay him off

well elon's probably at the point where he's realised he either needs to immediately pay out the rest of the acquisition contract or just have the dude draw a salary until the company declares bankruptcy regardless of if he performs any role at all and is choosing the option that costs him less money in the short-term.

New theory: He's only receiving Twitter comms via DM and private accounts. The reason he's obsessed with longer character limits is because it otherwise makes his memos and daily updates all bitty and annoying to read.

this will probably turn into competing netflix and hulu series like those fyre fest documentaries

or maybe one will be a dramatization like that one with jared leto playing the wework guy. jeremy strong would be pretty good as musk, if a little too on the nose. or edward norton reprising the role

Sometimes I think things are getting stale and I wish Elon would hurry up and destroy Twitter so we can bring this saga to an end. And then a day like today happens and I appreciate that there are still unfound depths of lols there.

I hope Elon destroys Elon in much the same way that Hitler killed a Nazi because that will be funny for all eternity and literally no human being would be hurt.

Ignoring Mush for a second, god drat that dude is dumb. Donkeys are occasionally used as guard animals for sheep, because they'll straight up kill things like coyotes or dogs that attack the flock. I'm pretty sure that donkey is just giving him a "friendly warning" to leave it alone, since it isn't trampling him.
