Elon Musk now owns 9.2% of twitter...update.. will soon be the sole owner as Board of Directors accepts his purchase offer

[MrSquished]

Who could have predicted this would happen?

 

[K1052]

What a pathetic predictable tool.

Someone please get to work on an Elon jet tracking app because he’d be forced to buy google and apple and arguably Samsung.

Just need to make a link to this:

If trends prevail, Elon's social media site is going to end up looking like a Musk fan club that directly competes with Trump's "Truth Social" (LOL) joke of the century where the same dumbshit fan base is in play.

Eh, might be sooner than I thought based on this thread:

Lots of journos on the Elmo beat are being suspended. What a fucking snowflake.

Twitter suspends accounts of several journalists who had reported on Elon Musk

Many at CNN, Washington Post and the New York Times who had written critically of the new owner found their handles suspended

www.theguardian.com

Accounts of tech journalists at CNN, the Washington Post, Mashable and the New York Times
were suspended in quick succession Thursday evening. All had recently published articles about Musk’s suspension of a Twitter account that had shared publicly-available data about the movements of his private jet. Each of these articles had highlighted the tension between Musk’s stated commitment to “free speech” and his choice to ban an account that he personally disliked.

 

[pmv]

So noone can say that Musk is hypocritical about free speech.

I mean, you might _want_ to say that, but you can't. Not on Twitter anyway.

 

[K1052]

What a fucking little baby. I knew he was thin skinned but getting booed in real time at Chappelle’s set broke something else in his brain.

 

[Vic]

The latest talking point is that anyone who speaks out against free speech deserves to lose their free speech.

Seriously, these idiots never fail to disappoint. If only they weren't serious..

Maybe I will be proved wrong but man it looks like this guy is not very smart.

so has enough time passed to where we can say selling twitter to musk was a good idea? /s

It’s his money and his business. I don’t understand why people think this private company is thier business. Go somewhere else.

Mhmmm.

Previous CEO of Twitter is legally entitled to a statue of diamond encrusted solid gold in the shareholder value hall of fame.

I posted this a couple weeks ago. They could be a factor in many of the account suspensions.

Right-wingers are out to scrub Twitter of everyone but them, with Elon Musk's help.

Does this narsisstic, inept, buffoon not realize why people even use Twitter? People go there to get up to the minute opinions and news from reputable people, and now he's banning them. Twitter can't die soon enough. and there will always be alternatives. This could really be the end of Twitter much sooner than we all expected. That guy is truly insane.

 

[MrSquished]

Elon Musk is a little piss baby.

 

[amenx]

Glad to see the Drudge Report no longer automatically siding with the right vs the left anymore. Crackpots from the right (esp Musk and Trump) often get trashed in aggregated news.

One of his party guests (musician Azelia Banks) had said he was once on acid when on twitter.

Elon Musk is a little piss baby.

People just need to respond to his tweets with "Booooooooo! Booooo!". He'd have a breakdown!

 

[cytg111]

I still think he takes advice from Rogan… and Rogans copeium of choice when the internet is mean to him is mushrooms.. true story. So yea, acid sounds believable to me. Cocaine and tripping sounds about right.

lmfao

 

[brycejones]

Musk is a dumpster fire

The "strategy" appears to be own the libs and go after the same user base as parler and truth social.

That's an amazing way to service billions in debt.

LOL

We just need an "I am Spartacus" moment, where everyone tweets that screen shot, and then Twitter deletes itself...

It's not even their battery tech. They license it from ... Panasonic(???).

The flight tracking thing is something I cannot back him up on, ADSB data is public already. Hell I can pick it up without internet if any flights are within 200km or so of my house. I sometimes pickup flights as far as 400km. At some point I actually want to put the antenna outside and see how much further I can pickup since it's in the attic now, and it's technically suppose to be line of sight. The equipment was free from Flightaware.

Teslas track you way more so he's hypocrite to be worried about tracking him when his cars are tracking all his customers.
