@arstechnica Yet another stable genius... 😂🤣😆😎
@arstechnica
Musk has almost completely turned into a full time troll.
He’s a wealthy guy who could have a great life…psychologically he’s an interesting study.
@Pam_Nashes @arstechnica i know right? what’s a little concerning to me is the amount of people who worship him for this exact behavior. probably because “when i become i billionaire i’d do the same thing!” it’s a joke.
@delta @Pam_Nashes @arstechnica that's why I stay the heck away from people who admire him. They're telling on themselves.

@arstechnica

Twitter must have lost $millions a week in ad revenue, only made worse by making it a fully walled garden, AND bleeding users to Threads, which makes Twitter even less enticing to advertisers. LOL

@arstechnica lol just go away already
@ryan2one3 @arstechnica We all wish Elmo would go the hell away. If he wants to piss away $44B, that’s fine by me, but I do not want to continue hearing about him.

@arstechnica Musk once again using “but that’s not fair” as a legal argument for not paying his bills. Just more proof that nobody really likes how our economic system works.

And the big joke is that this wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t tried backing out of the Twitter deal. Or if he had included a back out provision in his offer. Or if he hadn’t tried controlling Twitter in the first place. It’s just a series of unimaginable blunders that could only happen to a super-rich a-hole like Musk.

@arstechnica It's almost as though he's making it up as he goes along. Pretty much like a lot of us.
@arstechnica Must be horrible in this billionaire world where nobody trusts anybody, and is constantly suing everyone. I guess they just don’t care. Call me a communist, but I think nobody should have so much money that they don’t feel the consequences of their actions. There should always be jeopardy. Keeps the bastards honest.
@arstechnica 🤣🤣🤣🤣👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻🐷
@arstechnica The 'language' used in that lawsuit is worthy of a nomination for 'Best Performance by a Billionaire in a Business Drama'...
@arstechnica Musk shares with Trump a pathological aversion to paying for things.

@arstechnica

It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see how it works out for him.

@arstechnica пидромаск
@TomskyPartizan @arstechnica He’s not doing much pillaging with the birdsite. He’s being pillaged. Unfortunately, it’s by a person who is at least as evil as Elmo.
@patrickdallas @arstechnica He stole my account on Twitter. That's pillaging by my book.

@arstechnica

I legitimately lost a few braincells due to the headache caused by the stupidity of this.

@arstechnica

oh, if the mission is to kill John Connor and break the buying Twitter agreement, I'd invest in popcorn ;

@arstechnica OMG that's funny #Twitter #elonmusk what an #idiot
@Ettel @arstechnica Musk is an idiot for sure, but it seems to me he is totally right in this instance. The timing and size of the payment look totally shady.
@Beedge @arstechnica won't be surprised, but he'd rather #moveon than make this farce.
#musk 🤡
