Trying to imagine a diverging world where the SEC actually did something and got this fucker in 2018. Maybe TSLA wouldn't undergird the entire financial system. I certainly would have never heard of Grimes in this alternate reality, post Divergence.

It's beautiful. And it's for the god of...of...arts and crafts. I think that's what he said.
Being boss of Twitter won't stop him from getting dunked on. Jack gets dunked all the time. The only difference is that Musk wants to personally ban everyone he loathes.

The DOJ has similar jurisdiction as the SEC and also does nothing

I want Trump as a twitter poster and idiot distraction, not with actual power. Seeing him bungle through every possible ritual was amusing at least.

Twitter is trading at the exact same price it would be if I made a buyout offer of 54.20 this morning instead of Elon. This guy has to be fuming lol.

Twitter is at Nextdoor and Facebook levels of discourse when it comes to local news stories now. Every story about crime has 10 replies about how cops need to implement a curfew and imprison more gang bangers. Every story about police killings gets 10 replies about how it was a good shot and the cops were justified.

Put it out of its misery.
