And remember…this dipshit spent 44 billion on it.

44 billion for 150 million followers... thats almost 300 dollars per follower. And most of those are fake!

Imagine having all the resources in the world and then spending all your time on something only 12 year olds think is impressive.

He’s got the mental maturity of a 12 year old, so it makes sense.

Yeah! Why would people be interested in talking about some of the biggest names in tech making idiotic decisions motivated by greed, hubris, and vanity? That's totally boring! We should all be talking about switching to Linux, beans, and flashlights!!!

Yeah, we need some sort of Elon Musk filter

There’s a lot of apps that let you filter words or phrases if it’s not built into lemmy

Humanity sucks.

Currently. There's still a tiny bit of hope at the bottom of the box.

Concerning for who? I couldn't care less
stopthatgirl7@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y
It’s a play on how Elon often replies to things with just “concerning.”
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
At least these accounts are inactive, instead of actively asking for feet pics.
Ugh. I think Quinton Tarantino alone made at least half of these accounts.

First it was Reddit now it’s X obsession. Who cares?

Free dumpster fire is free.

There's nothing quite like the romantic glow of a raging dumpster fire.

Judging by the upvote to downvote ratio, I’d say a lot more people care than don’t.
