Musk screws him over and yet he continues to use the service?
People are so stupid these days.
This is the new rightwing fan base. It's cucks all the way down.
the alt-right movement is like an abusive relationship, made up of a bunch of very insecure people constantly seeking approval from an abuser who doles it out with an equal amount of degradation, keeping them confused and isolated enough that they have no choice but to keep coming back because - after having driven everyone else away with their hateful rhetoric - the abusive alt-right is now their only source of “community” at all.
it’s a cult.

Vaught is mostly a Musk fan
Ah, so he's an idiot. Well that explains his statements.
Vaught is mostly a Musk fan, as he's interested in Musk's electric cars and space developments.
So am I. But the guy is an idiot. SpaceX in particular is successful because he isn't the person running the day-to-day operations.
You can be excited about the work the engineers are doing without idolizing the bigoted CEO.
I don't see why so many people can't separate the awful business man from the science.
This. I love the science SpaceX is doing. I love the EV momentum Tesla created (even if their own products are proving to be less than stellar, no pun intended).
Musk is a huge tool though.
Gwynne Shotwell does not get enough main stream credit for keeping SpaceX (and Musk) afloat. She's OP.
he sounds like a person in an abusive relationship.
"yeah, he hits me sometimes, but Jimmy's a good guy y'all! just need to give him a chance, besides... all my stuff is there, where would I even live?".
"He took my name from me, I'm not allowed to be called by my name anymore. But its ok, I still love him."
he's literally the 'This Is Fine' meme.
Thank you Elon, may I have another?
What stockholm syndrome does to a mf..
nothing else compares
Guarantee my guy tried 3 other websites before calling it quits
where he gets his news from. Nothing else compares
Uh... How about an actual news site? Maybe the NYT for example? I'm guessing they use too many words he doesn't understand.
Also they are part of the conspiracy to follow the rule of law and not elect the glorious leader.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
"16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since," Jeremy Vaught, director of engineering at the nonprofit Life Happens, posted on X.
But Vaught never had the time to focus on leveraging the @music audience, only ever benefiting from the account when companies occasionally sent him free perks like headphones in trade for promotions.
Vaught said he was never interested because he knew that selling his handle violated Twitter's terms of service, and he figured there was more value in keeping the account.
To "minimize any inconvenience" from having his account handle taken away, X defaulted to changing Vaught's username to @musicfan, which he described as "probably the least worst" alternative the platform suggested.
But while his reaction the day after learning that X was commandeering his handle was extreme frustration, Vaught told Ars that the platform will remain his primary form of social media.
"Twitter's not dead to me at this point," Vaught told Ars, even if "it's a super huge bummer" to lose the @music account.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
great bot!
Actually a useful bot!
I will never not call it Twitter
This is hilarious.
If that doesn't taint his idea of Musk, then nothing will.
My only thought (plausable excuse) is that he is possibly sucking up while expressing discontent under the false pretense maybe Musk will pay him losses. Whether he likes him or not, he should know someone thay disagrees with him will not get paid but rather sued for existing.
twitter*
Look you say "X user" and im thinking X11 Windowing system. Stop trying to make X happen.
“Twitter’s not dead to me at this point,”
At this point I'm cheering Musk on.
Anyone who is still on ~~Twitter~~ ~X~X^X^ deserves this.
Hahahaha this dude is such a little bitch about it. It's honestly adorable.
Musky simp lol.
“I know he’s crushing my throat with his boot, but he sure does have nice boots, doesn’t he?”
Apparently have never heard of Mastadon
Sorry, only interested in Muskodon
Until Mastadon becomes the go-to for news orgs, governments, and public figures, it won't be a true Twitter replacement
He deserves Musk.
Leopards ate my face :(
I am a bit annoyed that the leopard has eaten my face but not enough to move away from the leopard or do anything at all.
Darwin approved
What's the top three worst things Musk has done? I don't really follow celebrity news so I'm a bit confused about why everyone seems to hate him all of a sudden. I'm genuinely asking
IMO: —
Being a very shitty boss
Being transphobic when he has a trans daughter
Calling that rescuer a paedophile
did we forget about his sexual misconduct? the thing that when came out, kinda triggered him to buy twitter?
