Looking forward to him trying to turn it back into "Twitter" in six months and try to puppetmaster his way out of it: "lol the LAMESTREAM media really thought we were gonna call ourselves X forever???? zuck my elbows much?? lol :crying-laughing-face:"

I hate how he uses the cry-laugh emoji so much, it makes me cringe out of my skin, the cry laughing emoji just makes me think of a teenager desperately trying to act like they're not butthurt during an internet argument.

It's cause right wing trolls LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that emoji, it's a wink wink nudge nudge circle jerk thing and 100% when they're looking to feel not owned or just to troll about something. Before him it was usually Donald Trump Jr. I'd associate with it's. It's become my most hated emoji ever in a hurry and anyone that uses it let alone constantly is guaranteed to be a gigantic rear end in a top hat not worth associating with ever.

Elon is an emperor has no clothes when it comes to money. People say he's ultra rich when in fact he needs to keep taking loans non-stop just to pay his bodyguards.

Doesn't the vast majority of his wealth come from the fact that the stock market regularly just rewards his shenanigans by having Tesla stock explode in value every few months? Like he doesn't own any property is what I've always heard so he doesn't have to pay any property taxes

Not owning property when you have literally billions of dollars because you don't want to pay property taxes is maybe one of the dumbest things I've heard of. I totally believe that some people would do that, but it's just so loving stupid to give up on having a place perfectly suited to your tastes and standards to avoid having to pay what's essentially pocket change

Tesla did, not Elon.

All of Elon's 'wealth' is near 100% tied up in the stock he owns from his companies. He's so stupid he literally has no investments outside of that.

If the Tesla factory had a massive fire and had to shut down and become an EPA Superfund site for the sheer toxic pollution that would cause, Elon would probably be out an insanely large chunk of his net worth just from the drop in stock price that would cause.

quote:

Scott Galloway, a marketing professor at NYU who's also known as an author and public speaker, said he was locked out of his X account after a quarrel with Elon Musk.

"A mutual friend reached out and said Elon feels 'unfairly attacked,' by me, and wants to meet," Galloway posted on Threads. "I declined."

He said that two days later he could no longer access his X account, which has over half-a-million followers. "Still locked out, 17 days," he added in a Threads post on Tuesday.

His X posts also appear not to show up in the platform's search tool.

Everything this woman and Elon says just makes X sound like the worst kind of grifty bullshit. It's like they have no actual interest in growing X beyond the people they obviously want to be there which is mainly right wing rubes.

This is a real thing in accounting; business owners make all sorts of mathematically bad decisions and absurdly risky plans because 'rarr I don't wanna pay tax on that!!'

Don't let the tax tail wag the dog is the saying
