Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Belize]

so is twitter going bust already then?

Twitter is making record profits.

All it took was uh... Firing 75% of the company and not paying any rent!

Wow, so much for "Freeze Peach Absolutist" Elon.

Who the fuck is lil x, btw? I'm trying to find out what he's talking about and not seeing any actual reports of whatever he said happened. Like, lil nas x or whatever? Because I imagine that shit would be all over the place now if that happened.

Unsurprisingly, you can't take his word on anything.

He's fully off the deep end.

Couple of interesting articles out there re "the Dictatorship Phenomenon", both for actual world leaders (see also Putin) and Ultra Wealthy Asshats.

I hope the SpaceX CEO is able to insulate their operations/growth/success from Musk's apparently impending implosion.

Remember how NASA did a full review of SpaceX contracts and shit because Elon took a puff of weed on camera once?

I can only imagine the kinds of security reviews that might come up with his various contracts given that he's increasingly an unhinged lunatic who exists in his own reality.

But real, keep your eyes out on that auction of Twitter shit next year. You can score some very sweet monitors and commercial grade kitchen appliances. Elon's downsizing the kitchen staff, he's gonna be doing it all himself next year. Hope everyone likes poorly made PB&J's.

That lawyer, of course, will cost you way more than the $200, so you're just completely fucked and have no real recourse. Which is one reason why wage theft is the single largest category of theft in the USA, and it's not even close, both in terms of incidents and money stolen.

Nah, that's inflation.

I assume he means the child he affectionately named X Æ A-Xii.

Man, it's hard to tell when you're talking about someone's kid when nobody actually knows the kids fuckin name.

If only Elon had an ounce of self awareness this would be a teachable/learnable moment, but nah.

[jonnysensible]

thought his kids name was ar-15

some journo is going too ask the cops if that story is true

he also threatened to jets guy with legal action lol, mr judge this man is posting publicly available information pls send to jail

[Edge-]

Yo, so Elon just "doxxing" the dude he claims is the one from his story that he provided no evidence for?

Seems Twitter's already found them, and they're some cross dressing tranny that wears socks on their hands? Which they found despite only having a partial view of the persons eyes and face around them, not even their damned nose.

Look at this, Twitter users just outing this man. This man who will never let us down.

This just in



Being left leaning is "doing good in the world".

You said it Ben, not me. Not anyone on the left!

Somehow I'm not surprised there are the takes you can find in the replies. The data is public btw.

[diller]

So, I did find a definition online. It's when someone replies to a Tweet and that reply gets more likes than the original tweet. It's a sign that the original tweet is dumb/fail.

Twitter is weird lol.

It's used everywhere there is a comment section, even Youtube.

I usually like Asmon's takes, but this one is a serious L. What is someone going to do with Elmo's flight log info? Show to an airport - places with some of the highest levels of security - and hunt down Musk? This isn't a fucking safety risk for Musk. Musk is going to get off his private jet with his security detail and right into his ride where nobody can get to him and drive off.

Musk is just a giant snowflake who built up a lot of his reputation on "saving the earth" except he flies his private jet all the time. One of the only reasons Tesla is profitable is carbon credits.

Major L Zack.

It does seem strange to set yourself in opposition to "doing good." But I'm sure if pressed on it, he'd go on some hyper-speed rant about how Leftists™ aren't actually doing good because something something woke, something something big government, something something censorship.

Yeah unlike 90% of his chat he usually has a quite balanced take on things, but this one is odd.

It's just rich f*cks (excuse my English) who don't like being publicly shamed for taking a 15 minute private jet flight instead of a 20 minute drive.

Also the fact that buying a private jet is basically a tax write off honestly blows my mind.

You *cannot* become the world's richest person without being a sociopath to begin with. That amount of wealth requires the extorsion of someone else. The mask just slipped off his public appearance.

I have a request for the people that post frequently in this thread: Could you please post images of tweets, or at least descriptions or quotes of what is said in a tweet, rather than just a link to tweets? I know I refuse to provide any traffic to Twitter and I imagine others might prefer not to as well, so a summary of what you're referencing allowing us to avoid actually going to Twitter would be nice.

It's up to you, of course, if you want to do that. But it stinks not knowing what's actually being talked about and takes some of the interest away from this thread. Most people seem to do this, but every now and then there's just a link plopped out there with no context.

Safety threat? Asmon, my man, nobody's going to down Elon's plane with a Stinger missile because some college student posted publicly available info on Twitter. Like come on now.

He thinks he's achieved class consciousness with his fellow wealthy people.

Not realizing that he's still very much one of the poor's in comparison, and that the only way Elon-senpai will notice them is largely by accident and only if he is a temporary amusement. I know some of the crew Elon hangs with outside of his wealthy bros, and they're absolutely some of the worst kinds of shit-tier, unfunny trolls that think they're absolutely hilarious you'd imagine they are.
