NRA?
I thought the Taliban was just an extension of the NRA?
TIL!
NRA?
Who would have thought advertisers would want a sable platform that doesn’t troll people and NOT want to have ads appear next to FUCKING Taliban content
I think you meant stable platform...though sables are pretty cute animals.
You're all assuming he wants advertisers like Pepsi, McDonald's, and Nike. What if his target advertisers are the KKK, the Oathkeepers, and the Wagner Group?

Companies not advertising next to Taliban content is just the left’s woke war on free speech. Everyone should be as much of a free speech absolutist as Elmo is.Who would have thought advertisers would want a sable platform that doesn’t troll people and NOT want to have ads appear next to FUCKING Taliban content
"Elon Musk disclosed on Twitter Saturday that, due to a 50% drop in advertising revenue and a “heavy debt load,” the platform still has a negative cash flow."Who would have thought advertisers would want a sable platform that doesn’t troll people and NOT want to have ads appear next to FUCKING Taliban content
Time Warner selling to AOL at the peak of dot-com bubble is a contender, which resulted in a far larger write-down of value - the combined company lost $99 billion in about the same time than Musk has owned Twitter.Elon Musk has singlehandedly made the worst business decision in human history dollar wise and it's totally all because of him, and because Twitter did not have high level management teams in place to buffer the company from his insanity like Tesla and SpaceX. Twitter is Elon's true colors.
So now, verified users can all follow each other and interact with each other to generate money. If only there were a crude but accurate phrase to describe such closed-group mutual interactions. Circle of Jerks?
Someone on AT needs to write a bot that will interact for us. We can all post BS content and get paid from twatter.

That one takes the cake, although I'm probably forgetting some other doozies. AT&T buying DirecTV for $67B in 2015 was pretty bad as well. Two years ago, it was valued at $16.3B. Ouch.Time Warner selling to AOL at the peak of dot-com bubble is a contender, which resulted in a far larger write-down of value - the combined company lost $99 billion in about the same time than Musk has owned Twitter.
Although one could argue the business decision was not nearly as bad - there actually was some logic behind it other than pure ego - and ultimately AOL shareholders bought out something worth more than ~$0 long term with their peak value hyper-inflated shares, and Time Warner shareholders got bought out at a ~70% premium (if they were smart enough to quickly sell, rather than hold onto the new merged company shares).
Musk being musk. This will win advertisers for sure.

Elon Musk’s liberal-trolling AI plan has a core audience
Skeptics warn Musk’s latest endeavor could end up becoming the Truth Social of chatbots.www.politico.com
lol wutIt also cements his status as the de facto leader of a faction of Silicon Valley libertarians
You fucking what? Holy shit this guy is stupid for someone who's supposed to be smart.Musk has said that his AI will be designed to be “maximally truth-seeking” in order to understand the universe, arguing that a curious AI would be safe for humans because humans are inherently interesting, and the AI would therefore want to protect them.
My understanding is that this isn't really the goal of existing models, so not something that eludes them, just not what they were intended for.Other aspects of Musk’s approach are less political. One goal of the firm is to make AI adept at mathematical reasoning, a capability that eludes existing models.
A lady once told me an AOL story. Her daughter was mid-level management at AOL and it's employees held quite a bit of stock in the company. At the peak a huge chunk of the employees, even down to the secretary level, were millionaires-on paper. Her daughter, fortunately sold off a bunch of her stock because she was thinking of starting her own company. When the bubble burst AOL was a dismal place to work from then on. It was like winning the lottery and having it pulled out from under your feet.Time Warner selling to AOL at the peak of dot-com bubble is a contender, which resulted in a far larger write-down of value - the combined company lost $99 billion in about the same time than Musk has owned Twitter.

Sabine takes a small stab at Elon.
It's 20 seconds, its funny. (4:10 in)
Well, goodness. Musk has finally come up with an idea that will certainly fix all the problems affecting Twitter.
He's announced that there will be no more birds. That the symbol will now be an X. That ought to make everything better.
"Elon Musk tweeted on his official account on Sunday that Twitter would be changing its logo to an “X” and that all the birds will be disappearing from the platform."
“If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we’ll make go live worldwide tomorrow...”
There's just not enough eyerolls to cover this.
Will it change the name to Xitter? Pronounced zitter.Well, goodness. Musk has finally come up with an idea that will certainly fix all the problems affecting Twitter.

Reminds me of a friend who told me the reason Musk is obsessed with the letter "X" is because it's just a few dashes away from a swastika.Well, goodness. Musk has finally come up with an idea that will certainly fix all the problems affecting Twitter.
