And of course someone immediately spawned a worthless ETH token named "Harry Bōlz" ("harry").

Or did he change his name because some memelord informed him of the existence of that token?

It's really hard to tell these days.

Elon randomly bursting into laughter multiple times throughout the day because he concocted this epic "deez nutz" joke, only waiting for the woke media to clumsily shamble into his masterfully crafted trap.

When asked what is so funny, he just mumbles "Oh, nothing" between manic giggles, "nothing at all". He then wipes tears of laughter from his malformed cheeks while whispering "epic" under his breath.

Elon can't escape how Google has such powerful framing devices.

Watch him now to try to buy YouTube to get rid of the video, in what is commonly known as the "ElonJet" maneuver.

Or, more likely, to come up with his own video hosting service to make YouTube obsolete within 2 months, as part of X, the everything app.

This video goes through the starship launch and all the poo poo it hosed up thoroughly - you can see all the large chunks of concrete raining down all over the place from the wide shots.

https://youtu.be/ErDuVomNd9M

Wait, if I understand correctly (at the 9 minute mark) , the plan to separate Starship from the booster was basically doing a loop-de-loop at mach+ speed and have the stress from the maneuver break the two apart?

I'm not a rocket scientist, but intuitively I would assume that's not particularly controlled and uh, the g-forces would probably kill any potential crew.

"We also added some ancient cultural signets to our emoticon pool for you to use in order to be able to convey a sense of tradition, happiness, tolerance and pride.

For instance, we included the sunwheel, also known as the 'swastika', a symbol of divinity and spirituality in most Indian regions, as well as a variety of nordic/germanic runes, such as the sigil representing 'thunder', or 'sig' in it's native expression.

It's funny how, at a first glance, your avatar makes this look like yet another one of Elon's retweets.

Not so funny considering that the countdown to him actually retweeting it with at least three crylaughing emojis has most definitely already started.

Wanted to see if I also get free porn delivered to my "for you" tab, clicked on the twitter icon in the upper right of Elon's tweet, thinking it would take me to the home page and my feed.

Took me to Elon's tweet instead. I have blocked Elon. Tweet is displayed nonetheless instead of the usual "This is content from a user you blocked" notification

In the right column next to it, I see this



All things considered, witnessing this broken interaction is not surprising and certainly not the most awful/funny thing that is happening right now, but man, they remaining 4 devs held hostage by their work visas really don't give a gently caress anymore.

See, Elon? This would have been the perfect moment to refer to the person in question as a "pedo" instead of flailing around and fishing for weak poo poo like "cretin" and "dumb crook"
