most influencers on social media use enough filters and fake bullshit that they already looked like AI creations anyway so why not cut out the middleman and just fabricate it all

Musk, buying Twitter after years of not being in the social media game where bots and seemingly fluffy internal infrastructure have become the business-essential and critical norm:


Twitter is obviously not a well-oiled machine, I am going to come in here with a hammer like a loving malignancy bringing all my personal demons and emotions in along with me to these cucks and do this *right*

*rips the entire available energy to shreds and dances in the moonlight howling my life's story of exertion*

It’s hard to remember with all the junk and insanity, but the bot thing was just an excuse he made up to try to get out of the sale. At some point he forgot, himself, that it was a fake reason and started believing it was a problem to be solved. He’s just as bad at solving the bot problem as he is at solving anything

Elon sucks
A&W in Canada is a top tier fast food place. As far as I know, it's a separate and very different company from the US chain.

Their burgers and onion rings are loving great.

I'm pretty sure he's only aggravating things, because he'll yell at employees to do something about bots if he's in a mood, but will fire people if any fix involves reducing his follower count.

That was some delightful flailing, because it wouldn't have mattered if Twitter was 99% bots, since he signed a contract that said "I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt."

"And I waive due diligence."

This, and language like this, in contracts are odiously and legally unreasonable by all means I can conjecture. This also includes where the defense is trying to do a dance of adequate convenience to support it.

The controversy depicted here about this project was obviously its highwater mark. The hot air and puffery to actual impact and coolness ratio pegged a debt lever really hard somewhere. It's even further deflating to see that this was like a small blink of several rich family-friends with tons of money spending on their grandson or whatever to accomplish this.

Everyone should be put in a cartoon blender until we’re one big angular mess of limbs until a cat with a big hammer smashes us into tiny shards of glass so a mouse with a broom and dustpan can sweep the shards back into separate piles, use a rolling pin to smooth us out into flat versions of ourselves, then inflate us back to normal with a bike pump

All of his bots are gonna call it based, and yahoo finance and business insider will have 77 articles asking if it was really a flub or was it actually a 4d chess move??
