    Elon Musk admits X Twitter ‘may fail, as so many have predicted as was planned’

    Seriously, I don’t believe for a second that exponentially-scaling douchebag didn’t buy Twitter just to crash the fucker. ‘Fuck you’ money is capable of that, as that linearly-scaled douchebag Terry Bollea proved.

      Okay let’s say this is true. He’s colossally stupid then because he’s using his Tesla stock as collateral. Which is the bulk of his wealth.

        44 billion isn’t just fuck you money, he didn’t want this to fail. If it does he’ll be fucked.

      That’s very generous but I think he’s just this incompetent and stupid. He’s probably going to try his best to spin it as intentional now and especially after it becomes impossible to ignore any longer.

      I feel he sincerely did what he thought would make the company profitable but because he is shit-for-brains it didn’t work out the way he had hoped.

      Edit: He also had a purely ideological agenda as well which was making the platform friendly to extreme right bigots. Thankfully it collided with profit making since it renders the platform too toxic for users and advertisers alike.

        I think this is correct.

        Also, it’s incredibly ironic because him and all those weirdos like him. The altright, or whatever the fuck they are, “freedom of speech brother!” “Socialism is slavery!” “Crypto will free us!” “Covid was a Chinese hoax!” types of dipshits. They’re like the far right version of what they imagine “woke” liberals to be. I’m not drawing equivalency in the ideologies (obviously), just pointing out that they are, literally, the overly performative, loud, obnoxious virtue signaling people they imagine “woke liberals” to be and mock constantly. Almost like… they’re projecting. Hmm.

        And there’s another saying amongst the right wingers… “go woke, go broke.” Welp. It turns out they were their own snake eating their own ass on that one. They smoked too of their own stash. Drank their own Koolaid. Shot themselves in the fucking head.
