The man is a clear security risk and people should be purging their DMs and hoping twitter actually deletes things.

It’s still really hard not to see this as some 5th dimensional chess move because I refuse to believe someone could act this stupidly.

But maybe Musk doesn’t actually care about the money as much as he needs some sort of validation/win and even if it means taking a huge loss in Twitter, as long as he can save face and get some positive mainstream news articles about letting go of it, that’ll be enough?

I was only on Twitter very briefly and never tweeted or DM'ed anyone, and just used it to follow wrestling stuff, miniature painting stuff, actors/comedians I liked, and cute animal pics/videos. So after having deactivated my account a while back when Elon first started this wonderful adventure of crashing the Twitter plane into the goddamn mountain, I have to say that I'm just glad all that stuff is available elsewhere on the Internet :)

he won't get it though. same with trump, sure he also has chuds who will lick every fleck of poo poo off of musks rear end but musk doesnt get a THRILL from them, he wants everyone to treat him like they did 10 years ago, like irl tony stark. instead he is a joke to tons of folks and only conditionally liked by chuds.

The day most people stopped seeing him as cool was the day he played Wario on SNL. It was fun to watch in real time as the overall view shifted. He's starting to become Wario to be honest.

yeah. musk is a sociopath and is empty as gently caress and takes big dumb wasteful risks in hopes for feeling flashes of validation. i think he legit thought if he bought twitter then everyone would love him and think he is super cool and he could be quirk main character of twitter but lol reality happened and now he will probably gently caress up so bad that we will probably be seeing straight up illegal poo poo on twitter soon or at least gently caress really gross worse poo poo because musk wanted to thanos snap the company and now the sites immune system is dead. so now he is getting poo poo on and enough of his hosed up sociopath brain doesnt like that so now he is trying to be trump and thinking that the companies need him more then he needs them. now he is playing full dumb poo poo and pissing more away.

How's this:

The person who picks the correct date of when Twitter dies (or closest to) gets a free av change/upgrade

I'll take submissions for the next week or so, unless Twitter folds before then and then uh... I guess no one wins?
