it was just a rumor that queen elizabeth choked to death on a swan sandwich, it was actually just an uneaten swan sandwich they found on her nightstand

It’s sort of like how the rumor that Catherine the Great of Russia died from having sex with a horse is false. There was an erect stallion there when it happened but that isn’t important.

Musk claimed Twitter now has 250 million daily users and 500 million monthly users, though it’s unclear how those metrics are calculated. The last time Twitter reported user numbers as a public company it said there were 237.8 million daily users during the second quarter of 2022.

So I’m guessing the way he calculated daily users was just rounding up.

But why would you risk drawing attention to yourself?

I bet it’s funny to be in that position at first, but realistically you know it can’t last forever, and you don’t necessarily want to be in a position where at your next job interview you have to explain that you did nothing at your last job. So you probably want to leave sooner or later, might as well have fun with it.

There’s the famous goon story of the guy whose company went through a merger and he was shuffled off to a storage room full of desktop globes and forgotten because of a computer error, but I think he left that job on his own because he was getting rusty at whatever his skillset was.

Lurkers can’t be less funny than Musk. It takes a long career of posting on this website to make yourself that stupid and inane.

Musk of course got a head start on that by the circumstances of his birth followed by all the choices he’s made in life

It’s still possible this is a weird coincidence and that’s not his alt account, which would be bizarre and unsettling, but if it is his alt account he’ll end up confessing in some awkward way. He seems like the kind of guy who you don’t really need to interrogate; if you let him talk long enough he’ll go from “it wasn’t me” to “it’s actually your fault for thinking it’s bad I did that” without very much outside assistance.

You really don't need to dig into his creepy child alt or obscure fetishy comics lore to come to that conclusion.

It was always immediately obvious why Elon called the guy a pedo guy, and it was because he cannot personally fathom why anyone would travel to Pattaya other than the vibrant child sex tourism scene.

Normal brained people realize there’s much more to Pattaya than sex tourism, for instance, it’s where you get the boats to some islands so you can get the gently caress away from Pattaya.

I’m kidding of course. There’s also a Cartoon Network water park. I hear it’s cool.

I’m not rich or a lawyer so I just assume platforms can do whatever they want, it matters more whether they actually do that. I can’t imagine Bluesky will actually stop people from sharing screenshots of… blues? Whatever you call them. They want to stake out the right to do that, whatever. They probably can.

There's a somewhat famous story of an SR-71 doing a recon run over Egypt and Israel during the Yom Kippur war. Both sides didn't know what it was but knew it wasn't theirs so they tried to shoot it down. The SR-71 went "lol plane go zoom" and outran all the missiles.

There’s also this story about SR-71 pilots showing off to outdo an F-18 that had been bragging about speed: https://www.thesr71blackbird.com/Aircraft/Stories/sr-71-blackbird-speed-check-story
