In fairness muskrat said he wanted to buy it. Then he tried to back out and the old c suite said ok pay us the billions you owe us according to the letter of offer. muskrat said no. So the C suite took him to court and muskrat lost the case and had to buy it.

Serves him right too.

And then oh no twitter is t worth nearly what I bought!

I know!! I'll buy it with Tesla. That way Teslas profits will offset the twitter losses.

Oh no! Elon gets outed as a Nazi by doing a very public Nazi salute, and fucks up foreign aid and the federal government with a bunch of shit stain kids! And now Tesla isn't in any of the deals Elon wanted to get by playing politics, Now Teslas aren't doing well!

I know!! I'll buy Tesla with spaceX...

Elon musk is a human pyramid scheme. And 401ks are holding the bag on his eventual rug pull.

Wait until everyone finds out the kinds of theft he’s up to. There’s a reason why his face is all over those hacking scams.

The board has a fiduciary responsibility to the investors, so they were legally required to try to force Musk to make good on his offer.

But I think this is a good example of what's wrong with making everything about money. Who wants to sell their baby to somebody who will just slowly destroy it while using its death rattles to poison the entire world?

It’s not like he lost with that outcome?

Twitter has always been a shithole. Yes, it's worse now, but nothing of value was lost.

If I owned Twitter, I would sell it to a right wing but job, no hesitation. A shit platform will become a bit more shit and I get millions and get out of having to manage the shit show.....there's literally no downside.

As if Twitter wasn't a shithole even before he bought it. He arguably made it worse, but you can't ruin a turd.

zitrone@europe.pub · 1 pts · 63d

oh you can ruin a turd

a turd is shit, but its solid, tidy and contained, low entropy, kinda neat

explosive diarrhea on the other hand

It will always be "twitter", as far as I'm concerned.

Less censorship is always better.

You could get banned over anything at all before musky elon took over, at least now you can talk back to people who start shit with you

Casterial@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 69d (1 reply)

But get ban if you speak up against Elon or Republicans.

Censorship for thee not for mee

I suppose it depends on what you say to him.

I've seen people call him out for making people dox themselves to get verified and they're still on there.

the only thing I don't like is the way they changed the verification system.

Less censorship is not always better. I'm quite happy with the lack of NSFL gore and naked kids on the platforms I use.

SwissArmyKazoo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 69d

Oh and the genital multilation, that stuff is quite unsettling.

How Grok still manages to be around completely baffles me

ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org · -5 pts · 69d (2 replies)

There's already laws against CP, as for NSFL stuff, like liveleak or police bodycam videos where someone dies, just don't click on stuff like that if you don't want to see it

surewhynotlem@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 69d

just don't click

That's not how feeds work. I don't want to accidentally see that stuff. So I value sites that censor. Ergo, it has value to some and isn't always better.

wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 69d

there's laws against

So then why do we need prisons? We have laws, you know!

Actions will always be better than 'someone wrote it on a napkin so nobody can ever do it again'. World peace and unity are achieved, all hail the napkin! gets stabbed 'hey you know we have a napkin that says you can't... nnngh... dies'
