lol did he just gently caress himself out of his severance to post on twitter? He'd have to know this would happen, and Musk is just going to drop him the second he loses interest. From what I heard Fox was basically shovelling him money not to have a show. Why wouldn't you just take a massive extended vacation that lasts until Fox stops paying him?

What is it about twitter that makes people so stupid?

i seem to recall tucker's argument for being able to do his show on twitter was because the agreement with Fox never explicitly list Twitter as a platform he couldn't continue a similar show on. the lawyers did not believe twitter would be a viable platform (which it isn't) and most likely they made the list non-exhaustive and didn't think to include twitter. So yeah I wouldn't be surprised tucker thought he got his rear end covered being encouraged by musk, and will get his severance pay clawed back.

its all premised on this idea that everybody should be forced to interact with the viewpoints he believes are important, and he's too stupid to realize how alienating that is

Keep an adversary in the dark about what you're capable of, and he has to assume the worst.
He is probably saying blocked users will be able to read your posts because they are "public", but their replies/posts will still show as blocked/muted to you,

He deleted it. If you go to the OP's page, it's endless tweets first begging Musk for more interactions, then whining about Musk deleting his reply. This is the end state of Twitter: Musk replying to the worst opinion you've ever heard, then the OP simpering for deals or more boosts from Musk

It was reported on at the time that Tucker knew streaming on Twitter would violate his $20M non-compete. The assumption is Twitter paid Tucker to make streaming worth forgoing the non-compete incentive. Today's filing isn't news.

The funniest thing to me about Twitter right now is that you only have to block like 1-3 lowbie bluechecks before the thread is clear. It's laughably sad how few blue checks are active in any non-musk thread, even looking at Bitcoin/Chud content

you dumbasses don't get it: elon not only revealed the twitter files (watergate and the pentagon papers combined obv) so we'd know about government censorship courtesy of tucker and matt and glenn, true american heroes obv, he then destroyed twitter so even if the government kept wanting to snoop, there'd be nothing worth reading. thank u based elon.
