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

That rich white kid might, but obviously you’re not referring to Musk here.

And may you [Musk, that is] be greeted upon arrival by a herd of Bronterocs.

Right. The “B” Ark.

(“B” stands for “best and brightest”, Elon. Really. And I promise you’ll have the best-sanitized telephones in the Solar System.)

If they can put one conservative asshat on Mars, why not all of them?

Not enough lift capacity yet. There are a buttload of asshats out there!

Maybe if we got them to leave the hats behind we’d have more weight capacity for the asses.

Elon has decided to branch out into the slumlord business;

I don’t know that that’s the best analogy to use, based on what happened to the Golgafrinchams who stayed behind.

Elon Musk is the walking incarnation of “screw the rules, I have money!”

I’m willing to risk it.

Fair enough, we don’t really share telephones anymore.

Elon Musk is what you get when there’s the ghost of an emo teenager who died in 1986 and the ghost of a Gilded Age robber baron from 1896 and they both try to possess the same body.

Elon is no longer the world’s richest man, having lost nearly half his fortune this year.

Elon is still the world’s richest man, and did not lose anything like half his fortune this year. He’s up 5.2 billion in the latest Forbes live tracker.

Musk’s high point that I saw was $228 billion. According to the Forbes live net worth tracker, he’s currently at 190.1 billion, and Bernard Arnault is at 187.3 billion. And aside from Arnault, the next closest is at $137 billion.

Musk could lose his entire Twitter stake and still be the second richest man in the world. I don’t think he’s losing sleep.

He lost half his fortune and is STILL the second wealthiest man in the world?

I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.

I swear to God these “Twitter Files” are as lame and as boring as watching certain people here flame the mods, and about as relevant. It’s the “Release the Memo!” of content moderation, and not nearly as thorough.

But i find myself intrigued by this second-richest, or possibly richest, men whom I’ve never heard of, who is a “collector”.

Applause!

It’s the Snyder cut of news events.

More like the Snyder circumcision.
