[Mothra1988]

So he chose to become even more of a sellout bitch by kneeling and sucking some kike cock?

He took a call from Greendblat and other shake-down artists and probably repeated generalities to appease them on the call. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt so far. It's one thing to talk to these kinds of idiots to soothe the media alarmism than it is to become their defacto puppet.

I don't know what the point of him doing PC status quo would be though, because he wasted a hell of a lot of money to keep it an SJW troon hugbox. May as well have just donated the money to the ADL then. If you are right, I will be the first one to admit it. I thought he was a scumbag for even flirting with backing out of the purchase. But I think it's too early to tell. He could just be playing both sides for the time being.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if they decide to ban anonymous accounts that is the end for Twitter. It'll crumble like tumblr banning porn. All those anon troons and even NSFW artists or basic right wing shitposters will be forced to doxx themselves. It'll be centralization galore.

 

[AnOminous]

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt so far.

I'm not. If you trust anyone kneeling to the ADL you are a sucker and a fool.

 

[Mothra1988]

I'm not. If you trust anyone kneeling to the ADL you are a sucker and a fool.

It's too early to tell if it's just passive lip service or not. I'd expect him tot take some stupid call like this just to shut the media up for a few hours. He just got int the door. If he does end up just letting the ADL run the website, I'll be the first to call him out for being a tool.

I know I'm bit late to the party, but...

Musk about to buy Twitter: hoes (checkmarks) mad
Musk thinking on decline the buyout: hoes mad
Musk buys twitter: hoes mad and autistically screeching
Musk invokes "checkmark subscription": hoes DA APOKOLEAAAAAAAHPS!!!! storystorystory:

Christ Almighty, I know these retards are never happy and utterly retarded, they fuycking miss the point. Musk is THEIR guy and always has been, he's not the messiah, he's just fancier and more memetic Trump coupled with a bit of Biden's mid-50 looks. No I don't dislike Elon, he's just does what any rich asshoyle would've done, living a fucking dream of the NPC and does it with style, occasionally.

Also, blue twitter checkmarks are child's play and gay. Try to get Kiwi Farms blue checkmarks, twittards, I dare to compete in challenge. Oh and don't worry, unlike "insufferable" twitter checkmark subscription for 8-20$\month, the Kiwi Farms checkmark is absolutely FREE and FOR ALL!

Thunderfoot has a hate boner for Musk. Musk had few realistic options. Force to buy it or force to pay a hefty fine. He'll certainly try to monetize it to funnel money into his other projects.

Thunderfoot is a buffoon when it comes to anything economics/business related. Agreeably, he is a genius when it comes to physics, but if you were to follow his arguments on why Musk's ideas are impractical, you'd also believe we'd never have colonized the US, built railroads/highways, popularized the car, or developed trans-Atlantic flight. The video I watched was 'debunking' Musk's plans for consumer spaceflight. He said that rocket fuel was too expensive so it would never be profitable, rockets are too dangerous so it would never be safe, and not enough people travel from Beijing to NYC to make it worthwhile. The first argument can be debunked on the basis that once space infrastructure is up and running, fuel prices will decrease exponentially. The second neglects the fact that rockets are following the same trends of commercial airflight in that it was hyper risky at the beginning, but are steadily becoming safe. Finally, he doesn't account for the fact that these new travel routes would likely create a demand for NYC-Sino travel systems and the fact that the costs/benefit for flights like Washington DC-London or LA-Abu Dhabi would be significantly more attractive than the proposed NYC-Beijing path.

I genuinely don't know how a man a smart as Thunderfoot can be this bad with economics and basic visionary thinking

It's called "ultracrepidarianism": someone assuming that their expertise in one thing automatically gives them expertise in other things.

Classic rich kid isn’t invited to build-a-bear party, has screaming fit, demands rich father buys the franchise so that he can slash and shit all over the stock. A tale as old as time.

It is nice to see that work out in our favor for once, you have to admit.

NOW PAY EIGHT DOLLARS​

Musk has been calling out all the right people, but remains hard to read.

The new Twit-In-Chief had some fun with AOC in a back and forth on Twitter. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted “Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually an $8/mo subscription plan”.

And Musk replied:

“Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8”

Musk having some fun with the usual brain dead blue checks is funny and entertaining. He is calling them out publicly, but his internal moves inside his new Twitter are more disturbing. He recently announced the formation of a Twitter content moderation board that included the ADL and others who called for the banning of President Trump while he was in office.

You might as well have a Twitter censorship board made up of Stephen King, Don Lemon and Cher. No one on the right is represented. Musk also recommended on Monday Yoel Roth, the Head of Safety & Integrity at Twitter, for the “most accurate understanding of what’s happening with trust & safety at Twitter.”

Needless to say we were NOT impressed that choice. Looks like the new boss is the same as the old boss.

Looks like the lefties on the Twitter content moderation board have Musk’s ear. Musk also said no accounts that were banned for dubious reasons would be reinstated before November 8th. Looks like Musk is playing both sides. He tells the Right, yes your accounts will be reinstated, but turns to the left and adds, not until after the election.

We shall see how this plays out and whether or not Musk reinstates the Twitter accounts that were permanently suspended in January 2021. That includes our Twitter account @grrrgraphics that had been on Twitter since 2010. The reason we were banned? Twitter said we were “spamming” a very dubious reason to suspend us indeed.

We will enjoy watching the ongoing Twit show and hope that out freedom of speech makes a return on Musk’s blue bird platform.

Update: Musk to fire 50% of Twitter staff on November 4th. Good Start! Next, fire the moderation board!

Beyond the whole "lol Twitter is shit" stuff, do you think he can make Twitter profitable?

can he make it profitable? probably yes, if he goes through with ideas like firing three quarters of staff and charging money for verified status.

but, can he make it profitable enough to make it worth the price he paid? like, if you pay 40 billion for a company and all it does is make a profit of four million a year, that's a really pathetic return on investment.

for it to be a good purchase, the company must return more money than it costs him to service the loans that he took out to buy it in the first place, and i don't think that this will work.

 

[TheGuntinator]

The pronoun lootbox is a brilliant idea. Elon could make mad cash by making certain pronouns extremely rare, so trannies would have to buy thousands of keys, to get the super special snowflake one, they prefer. Imagine troons with ultra rare pronouns mogging the "they/them" plebs.

Play on how troons always send money in circles, you only get boxes from other users so their desperate attention whoring also funds the cycle.

 

[SBG]

Nuts how upset the Bluechecks are at the idea of handing out Bluechecks like candy.

 

[AirdropShitposts]

BlueAnon Twitter is freaking out thinking Elon is trying to steal the election by manipulating their followers, a few examples from some of the bigger Blue Check accounts:

 

[Haramburger]

That's only because you haven't gotten to use the new twitter yet.

Lol it suppose to be a knock but I would love if Elon did all of these.

bruh, gameify twitter by adding EXP points and it's already a better MMO than 90% of the games on the market. I'll pay $20/month to participate in that.

Optimistic outlook. IMO musk is a pressure relief valve because the angry mobs were gaining momentum. Between the total collapse of media credibility and the absolutely batshit retoric out of washington and the troon menace a lot of people are starting to notice. This way they keep the frame going whilst hopefully taking some of the wind out of ideological dissidents' sails.

Musk has a history of espousing official talking points in a more irreverent way that combined with hese memposting appeals to a demographic that could very easily become a horde of malcontents.

For example:


This being said, I'm not going to sit here and pretend I haven't been entertained by these twitter shenanigans.

It's all theater. Even Kanye's recent spergout to me stands out as the power structure laying the groundwork for the next gay-op. Don't know what the gay-op will be or what the end goal is but it's suspicious in both its timing and the way his posts are getting massive reach and the media establishment's seemingly impotent response to them.

Jesus F Christ everything you said is utter bullshit besides Tfoot was shit at economics, business and (IMHO) politics.
Rockets are not a case of building a better TurboFan and flight chassis, a rocket will always require approximately the same energy per weight to defy gravity no matter what you do. "Exponentially cheaper fuel" holy shit dude, this is can only be controlled by the price of oil and there isn't going to be some super rocket engine to change the world.

Also the more fuel you load onto a rocket, the heavier it gets then the more fuel it needs to lift that fuel etc etc, you do the math, if you can. (This problem also fucks over electric trucks, bigger the battery the less cargo you can haul, thats why the Semi is a joke)

Also, as long as a rocket requires LIQUID FUCKING OXYGEN to be loaded into it its always going to be INCREDIBLY FUCKING DANGEROUS. Most on pad explosions are caused by something going wrong in the fueling process because of the huge difference in temperatures required.

Truly the perfect Muskite, not even the most basic grasp of the problems even when some British dipshit lays it out for you in a video.

The cost to Elon Musk of launching 1kg of whatever into space today is about $1500 with the Falcon 9

10 years ago $9000-$13000/kg was the general range which was about the same as with the Saturn V rockets of 40 years earlier

Keep raging
