Don't forget his home secretary (for Americans it's kinda but not quite like a combination of the heads of Justice, the Interior, and Homeland Security all in one) is Suella Braverman. Despite being the daughter of a couple that immigrated from India to the UK, she is more pro-British Empire than most brits, and she has been very open in saying the British Raj did nothing wrong. As you can probably guess, she is also incredibly xenophobic.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I'm pretty iffy on the sourcing, but apparently Halli's acquisition deal/contract said he'd be getting a salary instead of a flat buy-out. And the contract says if Halli gets terminated at Twitter, he gets the remainder of what he's due on that original acquisition deal.

He would be due $100M.
And unlike the previous twitter execs, he has Icelandic law / non-EU member state protections to enforce that payout.

I'm sorry to hear about that. I know the feeling.

The only difference is I can't do it because of a physical disability and you're afraid someone you hurt will attack you while you poop.

You should seriously consider that they know something that you don’t.


I mean, I think that this in particular was posted after the “firing”, but Musk could have Googled the guy. He didn’t even have to place a call to HR to see this one coming.

That’s EST.

Musk had flown into Oakland (PST) from Austin (CST) the afternoon before, so it was either 23:47 or 1:47 on his own time zone.

The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?

I often wonder what kind of poster Elon would be if he were a goon. I know he fancies himself a Lowtax type, but even though he turned out to be an enormous piece of poo poo whose last decision was the right one, you have to admit that 1999 Lowtax had the right blend of a certain wit, charisma and circumstance that a community could coalesce around and Musk has…none of that. His tweets are like the epitome of lovely White Noise poster who is so intolerable that not only does he get run out of FYAD, but even BYOB finds him too unchill to post.

I’m basically watching Twitter waiting for something like this to happen but with Rhodesian Lowtax shrieking NO YOU SHUT THE gently caress UP GRIMES
