Elon Musk

Beyond the Blue Check Event Horizon.

Elon Musk's team is seeking new investors for Twitter, offering the same $54.20-a-share deal and trying to close by the end of the year. Scoop w/ @ReedAlbergotti https://t.co/ujZOYxlfQG

like a Craigslist ad with a beat to shit guitar saying "just trying to sell it for what I paid for it"

“One could argue he has created value or destroyed value at Twitter. It’s hard to tell at this point,” he said.

Is it hard?

I remember getting lots of pushback a mere 6 weeks ago when I was celebrating the downfall of this cursed platform. I know we don’t like this sort of behavior here, but I’m going to do it anyway: I was right, dammit.

lmao the "coup de grace" is more Twitter files bullshit

xp
you were, but tbf a lot did happen in the past 6 weeks lol

he can't be the worst Democrat while Joe Manchin's alive but he can be the most pathetic

Elon, as a father, I understand the safety of your family comes first. Could you remove the real-time tweet but not ban the account? If there is a continuous pattern of unsafe doxxing, then escalate. Let’s discuss these things as Americans first, thoughtfully and rationally.

Show us the Twitter Files from the last 24 hrs u coward

wow that tweet is puke. My most hated American obsession is with being thoughtful and rational

lmao nobody gives a shit about the old management dude is just posting hit pieces against his own company

Did Bari get cut out of this Twitter Files drop?

I mean I hope Bari gets cut out from this mortal
coil soon, but

lmao at Bari saying, even while criticizing Musk, that she still doesn't believe Twitter isn't a 'public square', like....literally only the Court of the Fifth Circuit will agree w/ you on that

oh cool look who's back

I'm back!! Thank you @elonmusk and by the way MELT DOWN THE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES AND TURN THEM INTO PRISON BARS!

i'm sure that this mentality is why i will never be a zillionaire to begin with, but it is so strange to me that none of these guys (everyone from musk to trump to kanye to lindell, etc etc) doesn't just cash out and enjoy life? like i would totally just pack in in an sit around plunking around on a guitar by my infinity pool in greece or read books or w/e

like you could are one of the few humans in history that could live a stress free life yet you actively choose all this bullshit

That life's reserved for trust fund babies.

melt down the pillows and turn them into ploughshares

xxpost If they ever stopped moving the void inside of them would swallow them whole.

that's kind of an iconic return post

right? he's gotta have a ghost writer or smth

xps

the irony is that the one rich guy who cashed out and seems to be living the life is Tom from Myspace, whose social media profiles are all just chill vibes and beautiful locales last time I checked.

this guy gets it

car guys vs musk is the real grudge

The god damned door trim

xxxxxp Most of us can play for only so long. But there is so much need in the world, and there are many good causes looking to address that need. Any of these guys could alleviate a whole lot of human suffering, find meaningful and rewarding human engagement, and still have enough wealth to last several lifetimes.

yeah like the Caruso guy who blew $100 million trying to win the LA mayor's race so he could fix homelessness

instead of just using the $100 million to fix homelessness

this is a dril tweet pic.twitter.com/xhkkTHzJzT

xp Yeah, fuck that guy.

One of the problems with so many of these guys is that, because they happened to have made a shitload of money (most often from a combination of being in the right place at the right time and recognizing that circumstance), they think they are smarter than everyone else (they're usually not) and good at everything (they're definitely not).

Sorry, meant to post

Xpost sure I get that but honestly Myspace Tom is doing better just by doing nothing than most of these guys actively making it worse. Like they could just go on vacation all the time and be extraordinary tippers and do more good.

But there is so much need in the world, and there are many good causes looking to address that need. Any of these guys could alleviate a whole lot of human suffering, find meaningful and rewarding human engagement, and still have enough wealth to last several lifetimes.

Not a single one of these ghouls should be actively involved in the policy of 'good causes.' Putting them on a beach and blinding them with coke and hookers is the best case scenario aside from just taking their money away by force.

why would u do that to innocent hookers

xp otm

this is good https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/plutocrats-at-work-how-big-philanthropy-undermines-democracy

(i think the best thing that can be said for EA is it's stupid rather than evil in the way most philanthropy is evil)

nah it's still pretty evil

Establishing your own egotistical charity is awful, but someone giving all their money to like, Doctors Without Borders, with no strings attached is fine.

My nonprofit employer got some big no-strings-attached donations from MacKenzie Scott's foundation and she actually kinda rules

squandering her divorce settlement on worthy NGO's all over the world without micromanaging or telling them how to spend it = classic

Yeah she's done it right. Essentially releasing half of Bezos's money up to that point into the world.

Despite her massive first round of donations (another is to follow), she still came out ahead since Amazon stock went up so much during the pandemic

proving the only good billionaire is the billionaire who doesn't want to be a billionaire
