oh my god this is the real reason he wanted to stop the jet tracking account isn't it

$44 billion dollars to avoid custody papers. Let that... I can't finish the sentence.

I'm inclined to believe he was expecting more out of the acquisition of Twitter itself, even if he had a beef with that one account in particular. His fanboys made him feel like his approach to social media was popular and that he'd get even more attention.

indeed, which is a policy failure 😔

The silent majority wasn’t for or against, treating him as just another businessman and simply paid no attention to him… until he started wrecking their favourite social media platform. He had a good thing going as the face of commercial space exploration and EVs until then.

He had a good thing going before he got on social media in his desperate bid to appear cool and be loved by everyone. Which is incidentally what happens to a lot of rich people

A lot of truly wild shit and semantic gymnastics in that article, but this is legit great: “Representatives for Musk did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment with a statement that addressed the question.” Translation: they got the poop emoji reply

I still feel like the X sign on top of Twitter HQ is the best metaphor for Elon Musk in general.

Quite possibly the most unintentionally hilarious thing he’s done, solely because of the lengths various outlets will go through to avoid saying “the response we received was 💩”

LOL @ "because they thought he was going to self-harm himself" as opposed to?

Listen, when a kid slams and locks himself in his bedroom to have a temper tantrum most adults understand it's just a kid being a kid and let them blow off some steam but when an adult does it, it's not normal, so I think it's understandable that they didn't know what to do.

Oh, folks detested him lonnnng before the tweeter takeover. If he lived in a small town & hung out at the only convenience store chatting folks up @ his ideas, the constant reply would be, “yeahsure, JimEd. Whatever you say.” delivered in a quite derisive tone. Maybe an eye-roll, too

He so desperately needs to believe that everyone loves him that he forgot it wasn't true. If he weren't a godawful piece of shit, and actively trying to wreck things for millions, I would feel kind of sad for him.

I'm 100% certain that he did not wish to pay that amount. That's why he tried to defame the company by accusing it of being mostly inhabited by bots. Thankfully, that's not how laws work, so he ended up having to pay for what he broke. A lesson which is costing us a lot more than him.
Avatar
Oh yeah, he absolutely wanted to weasel out of that deal
Avatar
Unluckily for his bank account and self-esteem, he opted to waive his right to due diligence in the sale contract, which might have actually given him a “this site has more bots than they said” out It’s almost like he’s not smart enough to listen to his lawyers

You realize most of the money he used to pay for Twitter wasn't his, right? He sold some of his Tesla stock, but a lot of it was from investors. The second largest Twitter shareholder is a Saudi Prince.

...I mean, he DID get more attention. Nobody said it'd be positive.
Avatar
Very fair! Though he seemingly expected it to be positive. But he's an out-of-touch narcissistic jackass surrounded by yes men, so of course he did.

I'm on this thread somehow, and for a split second I thought this was about me - and I got extremely sad.

The fact his ego is bruised like the favored gimp at a BDSM party is what makes it sweeter.

This is the funniest possible answer to the question of why he got so upset about that flight tracking account.
Avatar
Avatar
Actually it was because he didn't want people following him around on all those flights where he was tossing out Christian babies and atheists.

Me being a slow reader, for a brief moment you had me thinking you were a devoted EM fanboy account... 🙃

LOL absolutely not that guy sucks

An accurate biopic would 100% have the Bulk and Skull theme playing on a loop every time he's on screen.
