If you want to punish Musk in a meaningful way, then once the fine has been paid in full, the countdown can start. Once the same amount of time that elapsed between Twitter’s first noncompliance and the fine’s check cleared, then Twitter should be allowed back online. There will always be money to pay fines but they’ll never get the time back. Other companies will take note.

When googling something, append -site:reddit.com

This is an easy test. If Reuters is lying, that means the Model 2 is still in development. Prove that Reuters is lying, Elon. you are uniquely positioned to be able to do that.

Trump is a meta-generator; there are articles critical of the articles critical of his coverage. Anyone could sell ads under a Trump tweet. How many real people joined Truth Social just to follow Trump, and more just to be able to see what the orange bastard spewed? There’s a reason pre-Musk Twitter bent over backwards to keep the shit-flinging orangutan on their platform.

If Musk does nothing, Twitter dies in a slow spiral. He has to do something. What better way than to get a guy who people can’t stop paying attention to, a frontrunner in an election season? The man gets clicks. If he’s already dropped $44B on Twitter, what’s another billion or two to save its life while simultaneously propping up his political choice, triggering the libs, and writing the loss off of his taxes?

I need someone to tell me why Musk won’t be a huge buyer of DWAC when it opens. How much of Truth Social would he need to get it merged with Twitter, which would get Trump back on the platform. Musk gets to help out the psycho conservative right and he gets to help himself.

Not sharing the driving behavior… for now. Any faucet that can be turned off can be turned on again.

I need a firefox plugin that blocks Twitter. Not tweets from blue checkmarks, the whole damn site.

Thanks!

That’s such a weird passage. I can’t be understanding this correctly. God tells David to count the people. David sends his generals to count the people. They report the count back to David, who apologizes and says he sinned for doing what God told him to do? IDGI

My kid consented. I think. Can she make binding contracts that she doesn’t tell me about because she’s looking for Blues Clues, or am I responsible for every OK she checks when I’m not present?

Discovery is going to be a hoot. I wonder who is going to make it worse on themselves by trying to cover their tracks.

That’s an upgrade from the poop emoji that they were sending out right after Elongated Muskrat took over.

Si. I’m a buy-and-hold investor and so far, so good. I wish I had bought more. I’m up about 700% (it was much more at the beginning of the year). I’ve informed my decision on this as moving stakes to TX may open Tesla to significant legal liability and it’s being done solely in order to overpay the CEO, who is prone to making bad decisions. Overall I’m less than a drop in the bucket but I’m against it.

My paltry few shares will vote No.

They’ve been sliding all month. $249->$188 so far.

He can buy in but he can’t buy all of Reddit. According to the article the IPO will only be for 10% of the company. If he goes in, that’s only going to drive up the price.

I look forward to voting against that proposal, if it ever comes up before the shareholders. If he spins off companies to compete against Tesla while still working for it, he’d get sued to pieces.

That will end up as a class action lawsuit with some merit. There will be a race to file this one.

So basically they’re saying it’s the user’s fault for not having a better ad algorithm. That’s amazingly poor thinking.
