    yeah

    absolutely nothing of this clusterfuck screams plan

    I mean, turning one of the leading sources of information profitable shouldn't be hard, and manipulating stuff discreetly shouldn't be either.

    If he really wanted to just shut it down, do it, not risk lawsuits and all kinds of shit in the process.

    I think I'm done.



    Idk why a CEO thinks this is a good idea. I'm no stuffy person and don't care about the image. I'm seriously talking about advertisers and oh yeah those so called Christians who should love this image.

    Good Luck.

    He's just a low tier shitposter in a company leading position.

    Really feel bad for all the small creators who count on Twitter. Sure some of them can migrate to other sites but gona hurt having to reestablish your follower base.

    I still find it weird that he made Tesla and SpaceX work but can't handle a website.

    I personally don't think Twitter is going anywhere though.

    But he didn't. People who are actually good at what they do "make those work" insofar as they actually do work, and don't exist solely on the back of shit like carbon credits, overinflated stock value, and taxpayer funding... But the first thing he did when he bought twitter was fire all the competent staff and then drove most of the rest to quit.

    He didn't create either of these companies and neither are public platforms where he has free reign.

    You are probably right. Tumblr, Pinterest, Quora and Reddit are still around also. I doubt that they are profitable. But they are still around. Actually, I heard Reddit been on a hiring spree.

    Well, they did hit FIFA... I imagine this will get ugly very very quickly.

    And in other Musk-related news Tesla shares are today down to $170 (or below) and some analysts now predict it may hit $100. His 15% share has lost $10 billion since the start of this month and other assets seems to have lost an additional $10 billion.

    I agree with Trump on all of this.



    First yes, went to beg for subsidies. Once more the billionaire who questions paying too much in tax and where his money goes wants government money. It's not a job creator when your company needs to be propped up by tax dollars.

    Next, can knock his cars, but too easy. Well, it seems that Tesla really is not on top of quality control at the least.

    SpaceX subsidies. Yes

    The carbon tax credit kept Tesla afloat and to this day the only time it has been profitable. So correct.

    Well, Elon really is on his knees on twtter for him to come back. So Trump is correct.


    Trump is a brilliant man. All I have to say.

    I'm not sure if Trump manged to write this without a handler, but if so, then it's kinda a statment in itself that a demented dunce like Trump can even see it.

    Well the carbon tax is no longer the only reason tesla is profitable. so Trump Wrong.

    those regulatory credits are also 99% of the time analyzed incorrectly since they do not have 100% profit on them but most reports, report them as such. they report the revenue generated as full profit. That is not the case. they must produce vehicles to get the credit. Thus they do not have 100% profit on these credits.

    Also, it is funny talking about SpaceX and subsidies when trump wants a trillion-dollar tax subsidized plan to go to Mars if he is reelected.

    So smart that he does not even know if he is against or for subsidized businesses?


    Imagine reading his post and not even double checking his statement before agreeing on it
    Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!

    Is there anything in this besides saying Musk made a terrible investment, and paid way more than what Twitter was truly worth?

    I haven't noticed too much lasting difference. The platform still works. I can follow journalists as they tweet links to interesting articles. The opinions from average users always tilted towards extremes and isn't expected to change. Has Twitter even lost daily or weekly users through this transition?

    remove the oil drain plug on your car
    it will run fine for 20-60 mins
    does that mean you don't need to waste gas carrying around the added weight of that supposedly useless oil?
    "Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
    Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
    Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.
