I think he'd rather be a victim than have advertisers. This smells weirdly calculated. Don't forget the whole anti-semite thing, which stayed up for just long enough to make it look like he had to take it down from some kind of mysterious "pressure", when we all know full well this dude dngaf. Like, none at all.

He doesn't need advertiser money. He can keep twitter afloat with the cash in his checking account. He'll just whine about it a lot.

None of this really bothers him. He wants loyal followers, and this is acquiring more of that. Maybe we'll get lucky, and it's to take them all to Mars. Cross your fingers everyone.

Maybe we’ll get lucky, and it’s to take them all to Mars.

No way, kids will be born there.

Imagine being born in a shitty space station where fucking Elon Musk decides how much water, food, and even air costs.

Especially considering he'd never go himself. You'd be an abject concept, nothing more than a number on a spreadsheet.

No one should be born into that shit.

FAFO man of the year

Everything he does. It's just so stupid, it has to be purposeful. Like how he rigged the market with doge coin and bit coin, just openly making statements he knew would effect the market. I bet he bought up before saying those. And now tanking Twitter, it's already dead, we may as well stop calling it by his ridiculous moniker. But I bet he's bought up whatever he's replacing Twitter with. I wouldn't even put it past him to be in cahoots with zuck, and the feud is pretend. It's all just too obvious. It reeks of I can do whatever i want, I'm above reproach.

Is he in Scientology? He’s gone off the cliff like most of them do.

No, he is just a man child who was forced into dumping billions into a social media platform because he sucks at trolling.

"I'm going to pay 44 billions for Twitter"

"Ok, deal"

"Syke"

Poor Linda Yaccarino (current CEO of Twitter). She must be wondering what in the actual ### did I get myself into...

Trump supporters generally don't ask those kind of questions of themselves. Like Trump, they like to pretend they're always endlessly self-assured in their thoughts and actions, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

People shocked that she's a fucking garbage CEO just didn't know about her past as a garbage head of a department.

I'm serious about the Trump supporting thing, too. She's a Trump supporter. The fucking stupidity and doubling down on said stupidity is required for that.

"We're too busy f***ing ourselves, so cannot advertise on X" - Advertisers, probably.

Who could have possibly seen that shit coming?
