Musk: “The bird is freed”🖕

Personally, I wouldn't bet the mortgage payment on Musk failing.

I look forward to watching Musk's eventual flameout.

Look at me! I pay Musky $20 a month for a Blue Checkmark.

That means I am A Jenius. 😳 https://media4.giphy.com/me...

$20 a month for a blue check mark is kind of a bargain. A star on the Hollywood walk of fame costs $55,000 up front

After years of “our people are our greatest assets” bull crap, it’s slightly refreshing that some douche buys out a company and admits he wants to can half the staff.

My mind is still trying to comprehend that amount of FU money. Maybe we need to be more afraid of oligarchs and their whims.

IIRC, when the original agreement was made, Musk had the contractual right to opt out of it for a cool $1 billion fee, if he changed his mind.

In retrospect, that looks like it would have been a bargain for him, and a lesson learned.

His solar batteries catch fire; His cars catch fire; now twitter spirals down the porcelain.At least it's entertaining - as long as you keep a safe distance.

Back in the "grunge" era, the way to heckle a band that wasn't playing hard enough was to yell out "Free Bird". Musk saved us the effort with his self-heckle

I think that daddy’s emrald money is the only thing that stopped Elon from becoming the type of incel that commits an act of mass violence.

Honestly credit where due to the absolute grift Twitter just pulled over on Elon Musk. He just spent more than the cost of “1 Bolivia” for a thing which has almost no market share growth and still barely makes money. Now he wants people to PAY HIM to spread bullshit online, my lort this may end up being a hilarious trash fire after all

Someone like you who has never actually worked in your life, due to being an obvious loser, couldn't really understand such things. What do you do for money, anyway?

I'm glad my mom and I are not the only ones who use the word "cattywampus" 😀
