Now Musk is saying if Apple and Google block Twitter on their app stores, presumably for failure to moderate hate speech and for safety, he will just create a new phone.

So it’s going well, right?

@georgetakei I've always wanted a phone that could double as an IED, so yeah.

@AlexEdwards You don't remember the Sony LiPo years, do you? πŸ’₯

I had a laptop inflate aggressively going through airport securityβ€”x-ray bombardment pushed it over the edge. The TSA agent wanted me to take it on the plane. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

@AlexEdwards @georgetakei ah, so they're just rebadged Note 8s
@cinebox @AlexEdwards @georgetakei and by "rebadged", literally just a paper sticker with "Twitter" scrawled so hastily on it that it looks like they were paying by the sticker (narrator: they were in fact getting paid by the sticker)
@AlexEdwards @georgetakei It would literally be a burner
@georgetakei @AlexEdwards @pshread year although taking that concept colloquially a bit of extrapolating on where that could go especially exclusively linked to what is looking a likely facist propaganda source/mobiliser is not pleasant.
@georgetakei They will double as a handy fire-starter in a pinch
@georgetakei I guess he's helpfully providing the world with entertainment...
@tim @georgetakei Trump also was entertaining , until it wasn’t…
@georgetakei muskphone? Let the dumpster fire continues
@georgetakei too late to buy nokia?
@stefan @georgetakei they sold it, and found new core products.
@georgetakei All that has to be said about this kind of people, fits into three words: #TaxTheRich
@georgetakei I do not think he has any idea how complicated modern phones are. He didn't design the tesla or spacex ships. Subtle projects cannot be done with a heavy hand.
@georgetakei We've seen this story in Kingsman... You're not fooling me Elmo! 🀣
@georgetakei as well as could be expected for someone at the height of hubris
@georgetakei @byn with blackjack and hookers, no doubt. πŸ€–
@joshourisman @georgetakei I mean, blackjack and hookers and nazis = freedum, right?
@georgetakei so he’s chronically delusional versus acutely delusional.
@georgetakei I hope they do.Serve him right.

Musk dijo que si Apple y Google bloquea la aplicaciΓ³n de twitter, va a crear un nuevo telΓ©fono πŸ˜‚

@georgetakei

@georgetakei Clearly very well indeed...
@georgetakei It's a shame amazon probably have "Fire" tied up as a trademark, the Musk "Fire starter" phone could be quite something
@georgetakei
A new computers and search engines too?
#askingforafriend
@georgetakei I'm imagining exploding rockets and Samsung phones πŸ˜…
@georgetakei He's not mad. Please don't report that he's mad.

@georgetakei The funny thing is, other right-wing grifters have already tried this before, like the Freedom Phone.

They basically just end up with a phone made for cheap in China, despite saying "Made in the USA", and just run some knockoff version of Android that has the Google stuff stripped out.

Which isn't the worst idea in the world, but this is usually being done by people not competent enough to support their own efforts, like supporting infrastructure for alternative services or app updates. It's all very shoddy stuff, at best.

@deadsuperhero @georgetakei the problem that he will have to get rid of the google part of things, it will also get rid of a lot is features. It can work but as you can us f-droid for example but not everyone is going to like that. But again, he is going to enter a very crowded market….
@georgetakei Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Lmao
@georgetakei
All he creates is chaos, but I'm sure he knows a guy...
@georgetakei And then when no phone company will provide service to his phones, he will provide phone service through Starlink to his own phones.... and then he will have his own little network of fans who hate everyone but him. Maybe they can all just go with him to Mars and give us some peace for once... #elon #Twitter
@razumasu @georgetakei
That eould be so cool. He could take all his Teslas with him and close that stupid factory of his in Germany. He is stealing the ground water that's needed for dry periods if climate change continues at the same rate as it does now.
@razumasu @georgetakei
Then, sociopath Musk and the rest of the select elite can all come to the same fate as is foreseen in this little gem of a movie.
β€œI believe that’s called a Bronteroc"
The End 🎬

@georgetakei please God let this happen, this man is going to ruin himself doubling down on everything
@georgetakei and if that phone don't sell, elon's gonna buy a bunch o' consumers.
@georgetakei
I kind of feel bad for the little dude. It's like watching your friend buy a shit-box Corvette, dump his perfectly decent, intelligent wife for a set of plastic tits and an annoying laugh, and become a day-trader.
@Reverend_Blair @georgetakei The recent mid engine Corvette is a pretty good supercar.
@komputernik @georgetakei Yeah, heard that. Not sure what I'd do with a supercar though. I mean, best truck I've ever owned has a top speed of 55 MPH. Nicest car I ever owned was a shitty little Triumph Spitfire. Coolest-looking car I ever owned was a Mach 1...but that's really just a sexy LTD. Like my Kia, except my wife keeps leaving the back seats up.
@georgetakei : Will th enew phone catch fire in your pocket?

@cwnidog @georgetakei

🎢 Catch a Teslaphone and put it in your pocket
Watch your pocket catch on fiiire 🎢

@georgetakei lmao. and, just like Tesla, it'll involve endless beta software and dubious engineering and ethics.
@georgetakei
He becomes more repulsive by the minute
