how do you find yourself making death threats against Elmo, the popular and inoffensive childlike puppet from a children's television series, for failing to defer to the wishes of Elon Musk; and not immediately think "oh my god i need to spend a few months away from the internet"

I just had Twitter censor the “this mf paid for Twitter” image macro by putting it behind a “sensitive content” click screen. Is that a new thing?

"Merit is earned" by paying an idiot $8.

As I said before: I think a lot of these people realize what suckers they are and they're hassling people who didn't fall for it to make themselves feel better.

Man these people just fundamentally don't get what the old verification system was, do they? Like, it was waaaaay closer to a meritocracy than this dumb garbage they have now - be notable, do something of merit or whatever and you could get a blue check. They're just big jealous idiot babies and I hope they die mad.

It really is hilarious how in the span of one day the concept of a blue checkmark on Twitter is completely ruined to the point that seeing one now indicates that they are a nobody and/or a huge loving rear end in a top hat. Someone else mentioned it but I really wouldn't be surprised if they added the ability to buy checks for other people just so the musk sycophants can keep dumping money into Twitter by forcing checkmarks on celebrities they want in their super cool club for cool guys.

This is potentially the smartest thing Musk could do. He's already ensured that Twitter is overrun by chuds, a group famously begging at all times to be grifted. Allowing purchase of checkmarks for other users is basically charging chuds $8 a pop to own a lib, and they'd probably beg him to raise the price, the loving schmucks.

The issue is that those chuds don't make up even a fraction of the advertising dollars that Musk lost. He can lie and state that Twitter is doing well but all the downsizing doesn't mean much in the face of the debt Elmo put on the company when he bought it.

No one in their right mind ever expected Musk to recoup his $44 bil.

That sentence doesn’t make any loving sense. What in earth does “democratized” mean in that context? That you chose to buy it? Wouldn’t any purchase be considered democratized by that lovely moon logic?

Multiple space rockets per day polluting the air, wasting fuel and raining their first stages and other space junk onto the heads, homes and workplaces of the poorer (no doubt targeted to miss the mansions of the rich).

And all so the very rich can shave a few percent off international travel times (those of them who don't mind extreme acceleration/deceleration).

Another "great" feature of the Musktopia. gently caress you Elon, and gently caress all your lackeys and fanboys.

Her airline comparison makes zero economic sense when you think about it for more than 2 seconds (so it’s perfect for TED of course).

Oh your right airlines can only fly the route 1x a day for a 20 hour flight but we can do 10x a day
(Oh wait airlines can already fly more, they just get another plane!!!)

Airlines routes and frequently is determined by the demand vs cost of those routes, it’s not like they are limited because of planes.

But Ok - let’s just say you could do a thousand a day it won’t matter if each individual one doesn’t make money. Even if they did make money (impossible) are you going to have thousands of people to fill the flights when the cost per person is 1000x greater than an airline ticket? No, of course not. Anyone rich enough to afford it won’t all be going from the exact same starting location to the exact same ending location.

What an utter load of poo poo
