This is the most simp-y shit I’ve ever heard of. You don’t bail out a billionaire.
The US government does it consistently.
And it's the simpyest shit I've ever seen
United Simps of Conservative America

I really hate the term "simp" but it really fits here. Having legions of people pledging scraps of cash to literally the wealthiest personon Earth is just so... pathetic.

It’s conservatroids trying to show that they have economic power too. They have big spending companies too! Like Babylon Bee! Yeah! Take that, libs!
Lol. Also, I’ve run ads on Twitter and it was a waste of money. Facebook ads work 100x better. Reddit was awful too. So these dicks are just pissing money away. After all - there’s a reason they weren’t already big spending advertisers on Twitter: because it sucks.

Apple spent ~100 M per year on adds on twitter prior to the EM buyout.
There is no way in hell these grifters will do anything but talk big. The money will never come.
I'll take "Things That Aren't Financially Possible", for $400, Alex.
They’re conservatives, don’t ask them to math
Conservatism is a mental illness
This reminds me of those statistics that show the how the richest 10% have as much wealth as the other 90% (or whatever the exact numbers were).
And also those statistics that show how Apple is bigger than the entire economies of many countries.
Oh wow Andrew Tate is one of them.
Gee, when you look at all these manbaby assholes who cry about being canceled, one thing starts to stand out. They’re all manbaby assholes. Maybe if every canceled person is a manbaby asshole, then getting cancelled is actually about not liking manbaby assholes? And not about killing freedom of speech? It’s just… the pattern is undeniable.
Stop using the fucking platform idiots.
Elon finally found his people. The MAGA poverty level white Christian who hates everything that gives them that rush of energy, because their life otherwise barely has a pulse.

Got it. Tim Pool, Andrew Tate and the CEO of Babylon Bee are all antisemites who believe Jews are going to wipe them out.
Not that I'm surprised, I'm just glad we have it on record.

This is actually a good thing! Let them all bundle up together and maybe they can fund and start his little society on mars and he can take all the right wing cunts with him. Then they can go cry about women and minorities together without bothering the rest of us.
But who are they going to bully, if they're just among themselves?
Oh you must be new. There's always an "in group" and an "out group". If somehow everyone is in the "in group" the rules change to create a new "out group".

As much as I would LOVE to see them waste their money on this, we know they are all talk and no action and won't actually contribute anything.
That's the best part, they're all grifters trying to get attention, they won't pay a fucking cent.
This is insane. Why would anyone want to bail out the world's richest man?
People donate to supposed billionaire Donald Trump too.
I genuinely don't understand the thinking. What else do they do? Should I be worried that they walk among us?
Because he lets them say slurs.

Imagine pledging to get enough money to bail out someone who can literally masturbate and squirt $44B on a whim.
Bootlickers, he doesn't need you. Really.
Well good. Clowns should congregate in a circus, it keeps them off the streets and out of our hedges and sewers.

My only question is do we pronounce the "x" in xitter like "x" would be pronounced in a Chinese word? "Sh-itter"?
I pronounce it Twitter and will continue to dead name the website for as long as Musk dead names his trans child.

Ahhh yes, bailing out the richest man on Earth for doing dumb ass shit that a 9 year old would pull. So good at business.
Get ready for My Pillow ads on Xitter, formally known as shitter.
Let the scam artist part them from their money if they're dumb enough to defend him and fund him.
Could be worse. They could be putting that money towards their own fediverse.
Right wing stooges are too dumb to contribute to open source projects. They steal the code and then let it languish.

Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp. Please Mr. Musk, I want some more.
Oh good, then twatter can now become as successful as Truth social...
I downvote every mention of Musk. Thought I would comment on this one to let everyone know.
The "I'm sick of Elon posts" comments are more annoying than all the Elon posts.

I really wish people would stop whining in the comment sections every time they see an article about Elon Musk and take some initiative to solve their own problems. Open uBlock Origin and add a damn filter. Adjust to your home instance:
lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/elon musk/i"))
div.post-listing is the element to block
:has(args) returns elements where args evaluate to true
span is the element with the title text
:has-text(needle) returns the element if it has the next needle, supports regex with \needle\ and remove case sensitivity with i
Edit: lol of course this was instantly downvoted. Because these kinds of people don't actually want Elon Musk out of their feeds, they just want to complain.
Personally, I want Musk to fade out of my feeds because he has become irrelevant, not because I hid mentions of him...
As much as we all hate hearing about Musk, he's a very influential person. The decisions he makes and what happens on Xitter can steer the direction of humanity, for better or worse.

Kind of like how he pinky promises to cover the legal bills for anyone that gets in to trouble at work for being a douchbag on his platform? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-66420177
"Trust me bro, I'm good for it."
So, as "if" is out of the question, "when" and "how" are becoming more interesting.
How will twitter end? Will he sell it to someone else? or just fire everyone and close the doors?
I love how some of the replies are about how “companies just want to control me”… Do you know what advertising is? What an empty complaint.
