the twitter board, sensibly not wanting to let musk start dictating terms, agreed on a plan. they would invite elon to join the board, but simultaneously implement measures that would prevent him from owning more than 15% of the company.

when elon heard what the board had in mind, he shit right through the seat of his pants, got blasted on adderall and ketamine, and ordered his lawyers to make an offer to buy the company outright. we all know how it proceeded from there.

but that instigating event, the elonjet account. how he was so mad that anyone could track his jet and see where he was going?

the FAA already has a program to let aircraft owners obfuscate transponder IDs. you apply for the program and after some back and forth you can have an alternate id that is not registered to you in the civil aircraft registry.

elon musk actually did enroll in this program, but the incompetent yes-men who work for him bungled the job and didn't program the alternate id into the plane correctly, letting the @elonjet account continue to track him.

a month after elon discovered this fuckup, he started buying twitter stock.

Emails Show SpaceX Bungled Elon Musk's Private Jet Privacy

FOIA docs reveal that SpaceX enrolled Elon Musk's jet in a federal program to prevent tracking, failed to implement it properly, then asked for help during the @ElonJet meltdown.

big ol' lol, but you know, not. because he did that, and he's done it to others, and he keeps doing it, and no one is going to stop him

and no one is ever going to try to sue him for defamation again after what happened to vernon unsworth

Everyone asking what kind of person would still work at Twitter, now you know.

Passionate Elon Musk employees are coating the Twitter offices in black paint, and boasting about ‘hunting’ and eradicating remnants of the Twitter Bird

While some longtime users decried the demise of the Twitter brand, a group of zealous X employees swept through the San Francisco headquarters on mission to purge remnants of the old brand.

Not just @x: Elon Musk also took @xAI from its original user

A pattern is emerging.

I think mentioning "variants" added the COVID info blurb. You can't pay for that kind of marketing.
I know at this point I should really not be surprised or shocked by anything but there’s something about right wingers openly sharing tips on how to post CSAM on Twitter that really hits different

the whole article is a good read, really covers just how much of a dipshit musk is, and why his stupid 𝕏 app is going to crash and burn like one of his rockets

Very well thought out rebranding

its funny because certain their project manager types, probably the first to get let go, did shit like preventing this and every other rookie thing elon does to the website, idiot proofing what bosses want to implement

Wow that is about as obnoxious as it's possible to be

Gee I wonder why

we've found the shithead big enough to make everyone root for the landlord

weird how elon and david sacks keep hosting weirdo fringe republicans

inscrutable politics

They're still called "retweets" when you open a tweet though

lol that it's taking them so goddamn long to change these things

"On March 17, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, the leader of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, dialed into a call to discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Over the secure line, the two military leaders conferred on air defense systems, real-time battlefield assessments and shared intelligence on Russia’s military losses.

They also talked about Elon Musk."

Musk is threatening to *not* leave san francisco and making fun of his landlord for crying over his ~amazing sign~

He's just fucking with people now for fun. He is a legit psychopath.

saw a guy driving a model 3 a few weeks ago with an "elon musk sucks" bumper sticker next to his plate, great news for the brand!!
hey, guess what, he's shining the sign directly into the SF city attorney's office
If the tenant can straight up deny your entry more than once for a dangerous structure being erected illegally, your laws are kind of shit IMO.
meanwhile things on the site are going great
Pretty sure I read this William Gibson novel
lol of course she didn't put a burner on her old handle
watching this guy pander to right wing freaks that will forever hate him is funny, but also the comments are just full of unmoderated paid blue check white nationalist racism. safe to assume if someone has a blue check they’re a raging racist or Nazi. good job X the everything app.

tim apple caved and let elon give the shitter app a single-character name

looks legit

What I honestly hate about him more then anything else including many more deserving reasons is how fucking unfunny he is. like all his humor is fucking dumbshit bad surface level sex jokes or references to the worst jokes on a show. its not even channer humor because at least some of that can be twistedly funny sometimes, this shit's just "hurr i 69nd myself into a pickle, i am pickle rick". like fuck man watch other shit.

The insane amount of plastic surgery, and constantly being on uppers since he was forced to buy Twitter is all hitting at once and we’re watching him decompose in real time

my favorite part is how he's had so much jaw filler injected his smile is permanently upside down

also lol at his nasty beard graying out

@cspam he looks like a fuxkin meth addict
