In 48 hours, we got a painfully lucid statement: the valley is not ruled by the best or the brightest, but the loudest and the richest. In short, Musk bought a company with a product that’s somewhat difficult to describe for reasons he has had a great deal of trouble elucidating. He didn’t want Twitter, he wanted to prove he could buy it, and he wanted everybody to think it was cool, which they did not. He has spent $44 billion in an attempt to make people love him only to be left with a very expensive way to make people angry at him every single day for the rest of his life.

The Death of The Boy Genius

If Elon Musk had been born to middle class parents, his only legacy would've been being that creepy dude who leaves one star reviews for businesses if the women who work there wouldn't flirt with him.

the ghosts from bbc ghosts despise elon musk (yes even julian the tory)

I call it "Xitter".

I don't mind getting banned from the platform anymore, fuck elon and fuck twitter.

Someone definitely changed all the passwords when they left

Business Insider just called Tumblr an 'upstart social media platform' and my old ass can't stop laughing.

Misha, my love, come take your place as the prima tumblrina. You were too good for that impotent space man’s garbage site anyway.

If you're feeling sad just remember that Tesla has lost almost 72% of its value this year.

Just days after he promised advertisers that Twitter would not become a “free-for-all hellscape,” Elon Musk used the platform he now owns to amplify a baseless conspiracy theory about the hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband by an intruder. “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye,” Musk tweeted Sunday morning in reply to a tweet by Hillary Clinton blasting the Republican Party for creating a toxic environment that lays the groundwork for violence against politicians. Musk linked out to a story, which is no longer accessible, in an online conservative rag called the Santa Monica Observer claiming that the suspect did not break into the Pelosis’ San Francisco home hunting for Nancy. Instead the invisibly sourced “story” alleged that Paul Pelosi, 82, was having a liaison with a male sex worker. While others have also hinted at this rumor—twisting themselves into pretzels to explain such details as the broken window and a 911 call—none of them have the reach or influence of Musk. And the outlet he cited is particularly unreliable. As the Los Angeles Times has reported, Santa Monica Observer has been the source of other patently false, ridiculous articles, including one that a body double for Hillary Clinton was sent to a debate with Donald Trump and that Kanye West was given a top job in the Interior Department.

Elon Musk Amplifies Baseless Conspiracy Theory in Pelosi Attack

Elon Musk is a sociopathic narcissist with the emotional maturity of a 4chan troll.

I wish I wasn't shadow banned so I could escape the shit show that's going on on Twitter...

“ Anyone who actually writes software, please report to the 10th floor at 2 p.m. today,” he wrote in a two-paragraph message, which was viewed by The New York Times. “Thanks, Elon.” - that’s a real quote from a story in today’s New York Times (see https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/18/technology/elon-musk-twitter-workers-quit.html).  

Twitter is trans?

Lol. By renaming Twitter, Twitter officially has a dead name now. So, I'm to understand that we should now call the new transition X? Well done, Musk, you've crossed over into being a trans ally.

FARCEbook & SHITter SUCKS!

Twitter May Be Better Than Tumblr

I'm going to just say it. I miss Twitter.

It was more appropriate for me to tweet incessantly.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, I interacted with and DMed people and it was a lot less isolating. Like, I'll hold out on Tumblr, but I'm keeping my Twitter even if Elon Musk is horrible and it's not really working. Like, at least people are down to talk and make friends. That was really fun.

Tumblr doesn't seem to have people like that so far, so I'm not really attached to it.

We'll see how it goes.
