steal gasoline with one weird trick car owners hate!

lmao literally just advertising crime

gas siphoners, collapsible weapons, secret fire starters, car door unlocker wands, MyPillows, only the best advertisements on ElonTwitter

Is that a fact?

Twitter not suited for emergency communications, Dutch say after storm

Tweetdeck just got got

all my columns gone

That's right Jack
his brain is melting right before our eyes
Fucked over a massive portion of his workforce then gets mad when those same people go work for his rivals for better pay and job security
Adverts are working just great

Twitter paid Wachtell a huge bonus for beating Musk in court, and now Musk is trying to clawback that bonus.

It's genius. Sue the lawyers that are now your lawyers only because they beat you in court and forced that dipshit to buy twitter.

He is so mad they beat him

at least the worst of the hate speechers are getting moderated on Threads and then running back to Twitter to cry about it
didn’t he leave a huge amount of contract money on the table to do this
I sure do love that Elon bought his favorite theme park and decided he was much happier with it as a total shithole. And now he goes ballistic that people are leaving his theme park for a shittier diet theme park that opened next door. The diet theme park's rides don't work yet but they do have a staff actively sweeping up occasionally, and that alone makes it a hugely attractive option for a big portion of what was once his exclusive clientele.

And lol that Trump successfully called a shot in not returning to twitter.

He has made his own little fiefdom, pathetic and small as it is. There was nothing really for him to gain in going back to Twitter and being potentially under someone else's control once again. It would also be a tacit admission that his network failed, and Trump wasn't going to let that happen.

So we’ve gone from Musk was forced to buy Twitter after desperately trying to get out of his agreement, to Musk wanted to buy Twitter to make it better actually, to now Musk invented Twitter...

thinking positively of elon musk is a degenerative condition it seems

as much as twitter sucks now it’s still got posters who will go down swinging
Nate sprinting past bronze, past tin, towards the grody elements that decay really quickly and have no real application
Well at least they might be able to pay their bills now?

Elon: "please post your videos on my platform where nobody will be able to find them and they will immediately be flooded with blue-boosted crypto scammers and schizos in the replies."

Lol that dude isn't posting shit to Twitter until Mush puts his John Hancock on a massive contract and the check clears. Mr. Beast is gross, but he knows which side his bread is buttered on.

Musk: "please help me libsoftiktok i need your antivax strength to get people killed"
lol when MontanaSkeptic posted a SeekingAlpha article about how Tesla's books were absolutely cooked, Elon called his boss and tried to get him fired

Jesus christ, this is like reddit meltdown levels of posting.

What a sad man.

i guess the taliban likes twitter?

Apparently twitter is the new wingnut welfare

Very cool to start paying the worst posters for their dogshit takes, way better than paying severance.

data $0 (we aren't paying our cloud suppliers anymore)
rent $0 (we aren't paying our rent anymore)
krassenstein payments $24305
utilities $0 (see above)

someone who is good at the economy help me budget this. my company is dying

Musk’s X Corp. sues data scrapers for “severely taxing” Twitter’s servers

X Corp. lawsuit says unidentified scrapers forced Twitter to impose rate limits.

Ars Technica

we will answer the questions. What questions? the important ones. they’re easy to answer we just haven’t asked them yet. we will find out what questions to ask. we will find the questions to the answers to the universe, and then we will be the ones who have all the questions

hey look a nerd reference, give me 44 billion dollars

Poop back and forth. With the same poop. Forever.

YouTube
Internet Hall of Fame literally only reposts screenshots of tweets. Which Elon explicitly said would be demonetized... 🤔
lol catturd was snubbed
twitter getting brought down on OFAC would be so fuckin funny
The people who scream for answers on why they're not getting engagement are definitely going to calm down now that they think they're missing out on direct payments
lowtax speed run
[guy who was definitely a terrible father and also explicitly hates his trans daughter] my kids don't like me, because of jiu jitsu,

just like with gab and parler etc. the right-wing absolutely hate being in their own echo chamber because then they realise they're all antisocial freaks with shit-stained undies and zero friends

they crave having liberals to wrinkle their nose at the smell of said undies and frown at their absolutely dogshit takes

So predictable, he thinks he's in control, and that this gives him leverage over his pet chuds, and everyone else will just shut up.

Pat yourself on the titanium plate buddy!

So everyone in the list of payees was manually given a thumbs up by Twitter for payouts, probably Elon personally.

These are the brand ambassadors he has chosen.

Far-right Twitter influencers first on Elon Musk’s monetization scheme

The first beneficiaries appear to be high-profile influencers like Andrew Tate, DC Draino, Ian Miles Cheong, Benny Johnson and Ashley St. Clair.

The Washington Post

I can't wait for Elon to create Tay 2.0

if they're training it on twitter data I bet Elon also had them scrape the shit out of reddit

somewhere catshit is losing their mind that they couldn't even get a single stack. lol
this is amazing. the company is saddled with debt because *he saddled it with debt* and 50% advertising drop is because he scared away all of the advertisers.
other than that, that’s not how leveraged buyouts work. typically you take a company private so that you can do major reorganization without having to be accountable to the stock market. this means taking losses for months or years until the business is on the track where you think it will make money. what you don’t do is buy it, set the factory on fire, and then say “we’re not making any more changes until this returns to profitability”

the big lol is that elon has neither the business vision of what to do, the managerial capacity to implement it, nor the stomach for taking losses until his plan is implemented. every other week he wakes up in a cold sweat thinking about those mounting losses and freaks out and does something like fire more people or make another dumb edict like this one.

of course his fans don't understand that so he can just act like it was already failing and he's fixing it

man refuses to be funny and yet is constantly a punchline
lol cat turd is having a sad

Elon Musk is the richest despite being obviously and visibly incompetent.

There's no secret scheme. There's no deliberate plan. He's just that bad at this and has nobody to save him from himself. He's making what he thinks are the best decisions to run a platform because he's the World's Greatest Engineer and he's got solutions all these other idiots haven't thought of yet. When his decision blows up in his face, he blames someone else and goes on to his next blunder.

Elon Sues The Lawyers That Forced Him to Buy Twitter

YouTube

lmao cat turd is having a full on meltdown because he wasn't one of elon's hand chosen recipients of a big bag of cash for posting and now his life means nothing

this is the inevitable outcome of being a musk stan

I just hope they finally learn something from it

former national security advisor and insurrectionist General Mike Flynn is with catturd
Thank you Dr. Bronner's

Elon's having himself a day

1. Doesn't understand the quote

2. Questions about my "not the CEO" shirt etc.

3. Pay me money to avoid any fraud enabled by my company. #NotExtortion

lol don't change your username
sending them some intern's bullshit draft press release will surely convince the advertisers to stay

The Explosive Finale of The Twitter Files

Falun Gong! Hell yeah! Get that energy wheel spinning!!!

I think Elon Musk might be the dumbest asshole on the planet
Elon Musk says Twitter will change logo from bird to an X

Latest controversial change involves billionaire saying an ‘interim X’ design will replace the distinctive pale-blue bird

The Guardian

imagine given up (whatever small) brand recognition twitter has for... X.

twitter has managed to get people to use "tweet" and "tweeting" as nouns and verbs.

"Yo dawg, just X me the deets"

we're only just beginning to imagine what this company is or will do, which is a very good position to be in, having purchased it almost a year ago

zombo.com has a better pitch than this

I'm still not sure if she's just there to collect a paycheck and doesn't give a fuck about anything else anymore (understandable), or if there's some actual thought process behind those words beyond saying what musk wants

I'd assume the former for almost anyone, but she's a marketing exec so who knows

@cspam
"In ways we're just beginning to imagine" aka we haven't thought of it yet, just trust us
@cspam think it's simpler than that. She's just a fcking moron
@cspam
I won’t feel sad when Musk throws her under the bus.
@cspam @Tweetfiction People are dEfINiTeLy going to trust elmo with their money.
@cspam you could do anything at zombo.com. The impossible was unknown.
@cspam The public square is being transformed just like it was by Uncle Scar in The Lion King.

Twenty years ago Elon Musk wanted to call PayPal "x.com" and it's one of the reasons they threw him off the board for being stupid. https://www.shortform.com/blog/elon-musk-paypal-story/ He's renaming Twitter to x.com because he literally hasn't had a new idea in twenty years. It's like that guy who wanted to put a giant mechanical spider in every movie he controlled. (He finally managed to insert it into the truly forgettable "Wild Wild West".) https://www.slashfilm.com/981625/neil-gaiman-leaked-really-stupid-sandman-script-from-jon-peters-which-featured-giant-mechanical-spiders/ https://thepopcultist.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/how-producer-jon-peters-and-a-giant-spider-nearly-ruined-superman/

@cspam every time she posts a follow up after Elon goes off it sounds like it’s been vetted by him to make sure it’s appropriately deferential to the pile of crap he just spewed
@cspam If Twitter is to become X Corp then their new logo should be the X Parrot.

@FenTiger @cspam

I think Musk calls everything X because you can’t type a swastika.

So it probably won’t be a parrot.

@jonhendry @FenTiger @cspam Wasn’t there some black-murdering extremist group in South Africa that had a Nazi-like flag with an X?
Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging - Wikipedia

@cspam @pawel Looks a bit like X Window System’s logo
@cspam Changing theme to dark by default is his one good idea

@cspam So the new logo is going to look like a huge "close" button? That seems appropriate.

Or maybe they could have a transition period, with both the bird and the "X"...

@cspam
What way to ruin any remaining bits of brand recognition/loyalty for a stupid name that was rejected when he "founded" PayPal (arguably the only thing of value that came from this guy) and contributed to getting fired from the board (along other things).

At this point why he didn't he just make his own stupid app if he's going to push away basically all original users, advertisers, original staff who know anything about the code-base, and the incredibly valuable brand built over years.

@Flux @cspam because nobody would have joined it. He paid for a userbase, thats why he cared so much about bot activity. Even if two thirds of the users vanish, he still has an enormous amount of people. Far more than he ever would have gotten naturally.

@twipped @cspam Welp now he has massive amounts of debt (that likely wouldn't of been as much of a problem if he started from scratch), and a fraction of the users he was planning to milk.

So yeah, it seems more and more likely it will eventually go bankrupt.

Granted I'm conviced he's the richest, dumbass asshole to have ever walked the planet... and the competition is quite competitive

@Flux @cspam oh I totally don’t think it was a smart move
@msgbi At least the X won't clash with my charles_ex....
@cspam #WheresLinda? also, where’s his unsavory business partners?
@cspam what a sad turd he’s become.
@jag0325 @cspam The revelation is that he’s always been a sad turd.
@cspam
"ChatGPT, write a press release to beg advertisers to stay on Twatter."
@cspam Forget interns, I bet Elon chewed out the intern, fired them, then added all the bolds and italics personally
@cspam <𝗶𝗻𝘀e𝒓𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒌> <-- I can fee the panic set in as this person sat selecting and deselecting this phrase over and over again, realizing that 99% was probably made up to placate elon and there's no cavalry coming.
@cspam w*e’re* do*in*g ok*ay*

@cspam nice.

I used to follow that guy Daniel when I was on Twitter lol. Still pick up new Inlander issues when they hit the rack at the grocery store.

@cspam don't delete your account either, I guess. Good thing I just locked it down, deleted most of the tweets (before the api locked everyone out) and put my Mastodon handle in the display name. #fuckelon
@cspam the original fuckin poster.
@vegetablegremlin @cspam uncharacteristically brief
@datatitian @cspam well the king has been dead but his heirs honor his memory
@cspam twitter gets crushed from all the litigation and dies before this can happen
@cspam what took 'em so damn long
@cspam Where have I heard that before? A certain someone I can’t pinpoint at the moment…

@cspam I'd never heard of this idiot before shit and fan met one another, now I see them frequently referred to, and still have no idea who the hell they are.

Wondrous.

@speedyb it’s a 50 something year old dude from Florida. Our timeline is a weird one

@BachToTheFuture It certainly is!

For some reason, I'm not surprised it's basically twitter's "florida man".

Who Is @Catturd2, the Sh-tposting King of MAGA Twitter?

How one cranky Florida man caught the ear of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson — with fart jokes.

Rolling Stone

@BachToTheFuture Well, that was quite the read.

Reaction provoking sad individual, with nothing better to do than churn out nonsense until something hits the right button, fuelled by the seemingly ever growing populous of morons willing to lap it up.

What an absolute loser.

@cspam hell be getting paid off soon I'm sure
@cspam @tchambers …and isn’t that a cup of *tea*?
@cspam That cup of coffee pic is a cup of tea.
@Mea @cspam why, as a Brit I didn’t notice this as beyond me. Well done sir.
