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

Didn’t he get it for a bargain? So, buying one of the “easily worst-managed big tech companies” that was in “overall net loss territory” for cut rates is brilliant…right?

Wait…are you saying he got forced into paying super high prices for this shit-show of a company? EVEN MORE BRILLIANT!!!

Yes! Matched only by the brilliance with which he has managed his brilliant bargain since then!

I’m sure a certain someone will come along to justify the brilliance behind that move.

He bought it at a share price of $54.20.

Get it? 420! THE WEED NUMBER! LOL ISN’T HE SUCH A CLEVER AND NAUGHTY LITTLE BOY

Looks like Elmo forgot to give someone a piece of the pie.

I just saw “French Revolution” trending and clicked on it, forgetting that today is Bastille Day, to see what the fuss was about.

Apparently today’s alt-right Twitter discourse is all about how the Ancien Regime was good actually because they were defending the Church and the Nation against godless Commies, and the Revolution is the cause of everything bad that’s happened in the last 230 years.

I’m half inclined to start screaming at them that the only problems caused by the French Revolution are because Robespierre didn’t go far enough.

Such ahistorical nonsense . . . Marat was a Maoist.

Outsiders opinion on Musk in this situation:
He chose poorly

To be fair the guy had a pretty good head on his shoulders for the vast majority of his life.

Who could have predicted this?!

And yet he’s doling out tens of thousands to Matt Walsh and Andrew Tate to get them to keep tweeting.

If Elmo hadn’t fired all the lawyers, one might have pointed out that in the inevitable bankruptcy hearing things like this are going to be called “Exhibit A”.

I pointed out two months ago how your assertiions about this are revising history, including your own posting history, to boost your claims of Musk’s prescience and influence:

So now, verified users can all follow each other and interact with each other to generate money. If only there were a crude but analogistically accurate phrase to describe such closed-group mutual interactions.

“Circular Human Centipede”?

“ring-shaped spasm?”

Circle of Jerks?

Hyperloop?

Hahaha we have an unexpected winner!

Let me teach you some South African:

trosfok (/trɔs:fɔk/). Yeah, exact same meaning.
