Abandoned AmericaJul 6, 2023

Look, there's a lot of anger and dissent in the Fediverse about the launch of Threads, but can we all at least agree that it is going to be utterly hilarious to watch Musk pretending he's not not crying as the last shreds of the platform he paid billions of dollars for go swirling down the toilet?

@AbandonedAmerica wasn’t his money though, and his masters have gotten much more than they could have hoped for in terms of disruption of dissidents, more political chaos, free platforming and amplification of fascists and other nut jobs. Totally running investment from that perspective…and any whining by Musk is purely performative.

@Dhmspector eh, don't agree that he doesn't care. He desperately wants to appear cool and his ego is incredibly fragile. Watching a toy he bought to make everyone like him instead turn him the butt of so much ridicule afflicts his pride, no matter how rich he is. 4D chess this purchase was not, at least in his part.

@Dhmspector @AbandonedAmerica didn't he sell his Tesla stocks?
