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.
the end
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.
"Hunt Hunt the woke bird. Skin em alive and eat them bones!!! I do this act for Elon!"
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.
lmao it just keeps getting dumber and dumber
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
Just a normal day on Twitter-X-Stormfront spaces
Republicans who hated big tech suddenly go...."Huuummmm maybe big tech Ain't so bad......"

Since the beginning of 2023, neo-Nazi and ex-Marine Christopher Alan Pohlhaus has ramped up his efforts to create a white supremacist enclave in Maine by accumulating rural property, soliciting cryptocurrency donations on Telegram and embarking on a cross-country recruiting trip, according to messages Pohlhaus posted to Telegram.
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."
The giant X strobe light is even worse than you could imagine

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
Twitter Death Cult
