That's not winning a war..that's isolating your garbage company further.

I see it as a victory….for humanity against Xitter

Apparently he just bought and trashed Twitter because that kid was tracking his plane

Would Swift be the next owner of Twitter then?

I don't think she is that rich. Is she ?

I mean, neither was he, and given that the Saudis bankrolled his purchase and he's apparently reduced the value of their investment by half, you have to wonder what he's giving them that has saved him from a one-way trip to a Saudi consulate.

I mean, you don't really have to wonder that hard. But still, somebody loses you multiple billions in an extended ketamine-fueled rampage, you start to wonder if you should make an example of them...

Why do people try to pretend Elon Musk isn't insanely rich? His net worth can easily be leveraged into 40 billion dollars.

Man those articles suck especially the first one even with a hardened firefox and ublock

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

Alll i know is she's pissed at the person tracking her flights like Elon was.
