Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter - now the Pit edition (Part 1)

You were replying to an Onion article you didn’t read. I’ve found Windex is best for washing egg off one’s face.

Sure you were. You just happened to make this very general comment right after a The Onion article for which your response just happened to seem be a response.

This doesn’t explain your last post does it? Why would you be making a post on general principle in this thread?

You are definitely 100% a Musk fanboy. People who are not Musk fanboys don’t say things like that he can see things that us mere mortals cannot see.

You know, this was an opportunity for you to maybe to (re)gain some small amount of respect by saying “Oops, I forked up. I didn’t notice it was The Onion. In fact, I didn’t even read it*. I just saw the headline and reacted. My bad.” But no you double down and in so doing lose more respect.

  • And it is quite obvious you didn’t because even a total dullard could tell it was being humorous.

Sam never acknowledges the egg on his face. At this point, his face is a $7.99 special at Denny’s.

Can you point to a situation where a Twitter employee insulted Musk in public? I haven’t heard that exact situation. If it was linked in this thread, sorry, I’m not going to check every single link again. If this isn’t based on an actual time that such a thing happened, why are you mentioning it?

No, he can’t. In fact, he’s damn near offered that as proof that employees love Musk.

Then what do you mean when you said “In this case.”

In what case, Sam?

Hang on, I think I’ve got a better shovel you can borrow…

And remember, admitting fault is not something decent people just do because they’re decent people. It’s a Maoist struggle session administered by the woke mob. :roll_eyes:

Excellent point.

Have you read the freakouts on the right? They are largely laughable and imaginary. Musk destroying Twitter appears to be a real thing. Time will tell.

… they eventually write a holodeck program where Elon is god-emperor, shove him inside and weld the door shut.

Mine can drink.

Agile propaganda!

Babies. My SDMB account was born in the twentieth century. A year before the end of the twentieth century, actually.

Maybe he can make the world a better place after all.

Hopefully he buys up Tiktok, Instagram and the rest of the lot.

No, your brag was not enhanced by sneaking in a spurious claim that the 21st century didn’t begin until 2001. :slight_smile:

If Elon Musk successfully kills the scourge that is social media, I would declare him a genius and savior of humanity. He would be the greatest hero of the modern era.

Ooooooh, that does it. Pistols at dawn!

If Egolon Musk kills the scourge that is social media, I goal I fully support, he and Peter Thiel will immediately make things even worse with AI and some version chatGPT. But I guess they will both keep social media and roll out AI chats with an enhanced interface for trolls and orcs. They will surely find a nice LOTR name to go with it, Angmar or Utumno or so.
