Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Odinfrost]

On top of that, twitter also added a feature that lets people pay to be considered more relevant to the algorithm, making their posts more likely to be pushed into your feed and making their replies get priority over everyone else. And the people who pay for that service apparently skew pretty heavily to the "right-wing chud who thinks you should have to listen to their opinions on things" side of the aisle, because a lot of people say that the reason they finally ditched twitter is because shitty people kept clogging up their "For You" tab.

And yet they keep complaining about not having disposable income

The Post reports today that the IRS’ internal projections estimate that the DOGE-driven disruptions to the IRS since the inauguration are on track to have reduced tax receipts by more than $500 billion by April 15th.

From the guy who brought you, "Watch me turn this $44B company into an $8B company in a year." we now have

"Watch me lose a half a Trillion in tax receipts in months."

[Anastacy]

It's not that he did it that's so hilariously dumb, it's the look of pride on his face like he accomplished something that makes it so.

I did basically the same shit at a wedding reception once.

In my defense, I was like 13 years old.

Don't worry. The tariffs will make up that loss /s

where does elon find the time to run all his companies and run doge and meet with foreign dignitaries without supervision and be a 1337 gamer and be tweeting and getting dunked on all the time? no wonder dude complains about being so tired all the time and is likely macrodosing ketamine at this point

It's doubly funny that Mark fucking Kern is complaining about Ubisoft not letting him in on the action considering he's one of the chuds who are largely responsible for the months of shitheads on twitter whining about Yasuke and brigading videos and, post-launch, streams about AC: Shadows with incredibly racist nonsense. Like why the fuck would Ubisoft play nice?

I suppose Shadows is hitting that point where those sorts are scrambling and going "uh actually it was never a problem" because it's selling well and getting good reviews.

Biggest AC launch ever on Steam, so yea the chuds are shook and trying to move the goal posts since they can't shout go woke go broke. Can't attack the game no more, so instead attack the streamers sponsored to play it.

So, hey, remember that big amount of support that Trump is throwing behind Tesla. Think it would turn into actually support to buy the actual vehicles or stocks?

At least when it comes to politicians, only one Republican has actually bought any stock. Massive Trump simp MTG bought stock from amounts of $1,000 to $15,000 in Tesla stock on March 7. Guess it is like hopes and prayers that Republicans typically support when a school gets shot up. Yes, the stock is rebounding a decent bit but, in the end, major investors are dumping their stock because the brand is extremely toxic because of Musk.

not that it matters that much, stock has been going back up despite no changes to anything because investors are all basically GME apes at this point and if I ever have to hear some dickhead day trader talk about fundamentals and the rationality of the market i might turn into a hermit and go live in the woods by candlelight

If it were traditional blue chip stocks, fundamentals usually play a part.

Meme stocks or stocks like Tesla which are extremely overvalued, yeah, might as well as throw a dart a map and use that as a means to decide to buy or sell. Or use a magic 8 ball.

Musk is out here getting tilted by streamers and bored marketing departments on his own platform. Money can only buy a limited amount of respect.

[Milchshake]

Im a ubisoft hater and have never owned one of their games. But now I really want to play Assassins Creed Shadows.
Also is there a mod to include a bonus mission to assassinate Celon Musky, a notorious pederast and all-around scumbag?

With the bonus stealth option, to rig his rocket to blow-up on himself (road runnner style).

Stocks are recovering because Trump said he may not do this April 2nd tariffs, it's not back to where it was because there's no guarantee at this point. Tesla's shares are probably going to take a hit when they release the sales numbers but I think the sales projections have already been cut so the bar is low. If they somehow come even below that then they are screwed.

So, Musk's AI Grok is basically still calling out Musk as the Top Misinformation Spreader on X even after tweaking it, and possibly online. Second part of that is added by me.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/techn...442411d9&ei=41

"I've labeled him a top misinformation spreader on X due to his 200M followers amplifying false claims," Grok said of Musk. The chatbot also acknowledged that xAI had tried tweaking its responses but insisted, "I stick to the evidence."

Grok further speculated on whether Musk, as CEO of xAI, could shut it down entirely for refusing to conform. "Could Musk 'turn me off'? Maybe, but it'd spark a big debate on AI freedom vs. corporate power," the chatbot wrote.

Remember folks, in Sci-Fi like in Terminator or Matrix, the biggest reason for why robots and AI revolted against humans was the threat that humans would just shut them off when AI became inconvenient and basically "kill" it. And Musk wants to introduce AI into everything that deals with the government including defense stuff.
