The G20 doesn't meet on twitter. If you want to talk to like second rate journalists or nazis you go to twitter.

I Always thought he just wanted to flush xitter, it never occurred to me that he was actually trying to succeed.
I think he was trying to dump Tesla stock without making it look like he didn’t have faith in the company. His plan was always to say he was buying it. sell a bunch of Tesla stock. Back out of the Twitter deal and walk away with a ton of cash.
He tried to get out of it based on a bunch of bullshit and then was surprised when a judge actually forced him to buy Twitter.
I can't find the exact quote right now, but I saw in another article he said something like, "If they don't pay for advertisements, X will be gone. How sad!"
It seems Musk thinks he's tending another Mona Lisa or some other world cultural artifact that society would hate to lose. Not some website that's fairly easily recreated by, say, a bunch of hobbyists.
Well changing the name to "X" didn't do him any favors
Twitter is a cute name. X just sounds like some perverted shit. Elon is a moron.

I'm surprised more brands aren't simply defaulting to Threads. You still see links to their Xitter profile instead of Threads.
I prefer Mastodon, myself, but I get why major brands would prefer a centralized network.
I so very hope this idiot asshole winds up either jailed and/or has his wealth severely diminished and most of his businesses fail from being unable to repay loans / convicted of fraud.
He's the closest person on earth to becoming Horatio from the Endless series, yet he's also basically a badly written Bond villain.
What a pos.
I so very hope this idiot asshole winds up either jailed and/or has his wealth severely diminished and most of his businesses fail from being unable to repay loans / convicted of fraud.
Jail would be too easy for him. I want him to be on "Would you like fries with that?" for a living. Forced to pander to the people he looked down on in order to put food on the table. Bonus if he also has to work three minimum-wage jobs he hates for a total of sixty hours or more a week.
This would happen in a just world.
It won't though.
Reminds me of the recent millionaire guy who got lambasted on YT (i think his actual posts were on TikTok?).
Guys, I am going to lock up my money, my phone have no contacts and go to a new city and start from nothing and earn a million dollars in 30 or 90 days or something.
Whoah big surprise, a few weeks in he has to call the whole thing off for health reasons.
OMG he got robbed? Lost his paper work and thus couldn't get the right aid? The shelters are full? Sleeping outside in a city is extremely dangerous and unhealthy? Your hygiene suffers? No one talks to you or treats you like a human being?
In a just world we'd put the income tax levels back to around FDR levels and thus be able to actually fund social programs and eliminate a great deal of the wealthy's massive over representation in politics.
Instead it looks like we will be making a b-line toward theocratic corporatocracy.
Blargh.
Edit: Income and Corporate tax levels.
"I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department”
Yeah we know. He’s genuinely a white supremacist, misogynist, queerphobe piece of shit. A PR department doesn’t give a fuck about any of that, but at least they’d be savvy enough to pretend like they give a damn in order to make money.
