I'm just glad he'll have Twitter to occupy himself and we can all rest easy knowing some rich tech guy won't buy out the forums from us and turn it into a hellscape.

How longer until he buys SA and merges it with Twitter, making The Worst Possible Website?

he might kill it the opposite way. in the list of ways he gave that he would improve twitter, it was all vague "free speech" nonsense, and only one point was actually a real step twitter could take, which was authenticating users. the moment twitter makes you verify your real name and address, the platform will die.

$44 billion in cash. Think of all the good that could have been used on fighting homelessness and poverty, funding schools and hospitals, providing food for the masses, and making the world a much better place for humanity in general.

But no. Some rich dumb rear end in a top hat uses it to buy a social media platform because his fee fees got hurt. Eat the rich.

Just a reminder that this is the same guy having a little cry about Gates for having a short position on Tesla, calling a random member of the public “pedo guy” because he actually came up with a simple solution for a problem while Musk wanked over Iron Man submarines. Oh, and he cancelled a blogger’s Model X order because the guy had the temerity to criticise him for starting a reveal show 2 hours late.

Elon has no chill at all, he’s absolutely not going to be able to handle anyone with any notoriety criticising him.

This is going to be pretty funny to be honest.

You are right, but he will also do things like send internet mobs after scientists or teachers or activists if it makes pepes give him a good ratio. It isn’t really funny, when the people destroying humanity keep winning

he can do that already, without owning twitter

but now he can say slurs or make actionable threats and not get banned, i guess, not that those things were particularly well policed before anyway

you have to basically not be human to be willing to amass that much wealth

they don't enjoy things the same way we do. when you get that wealthy, you care more about prestige and adulation I would think than doing life affirming / enjoyable things as you or I know them

Honestly this is one of those things where unless you’re a billionaire you can’t really know. If you can basically buy anything how are you supposed to get your kicks if not moving markets and wrecking the plebs with your autistic comments and bathing in hundreds of sycophants hanging on your every word?
