So, Threads already has 30M accounts? Wow! Elon must be feeling rather anxious right now, as he searches for those precious billions down the proverbial toilet.

#Twitter #Threads #elonmusk

The purchased price of $44Bn for #Twitter is a heck of a lot of money for a social media platform that has always struggled to make money.

So, you have to wonder what #Elon #Musk was thinking at that time. What did he see in Twitter that compelled him to make the offer? Was it an ego thing or did he honestly believe he could run the company 'better'? But how? By sacking thousands of workers and aggravating its user base? After all, #Twitter was never going to make him rich(er).

For a 'smart guy', he definitely is not good at handling his money. Should've just stuck to making electric cars and leave the bird alone.

Why does #Russia and #Kremlin lie so much and why are they so bad it? You would think that anyone who does something often enough would become experts at it, yet Russia somehow is not. Their lies are so obvious, and at times so outrageously bad and twisted, that it defies logical thought or reasoning.

For a nation of 144 million, Russia possibly are the clear champions of misinformation, propaganda, deception, and flat-out lies. If it were an Olympic sport, it would be a walk in the park. China would probably get the silver.

So, why do they do it when it's plainly obvious? The short answer is that the truth is way more painful than the embarrassment of a lie would be if they ever got caught (which happens a lot). It's also a cultural thing too.

So, next time you hear Russian media say things like "...we're winning the war in Ukraine" or "Ukraine started this war", just remember that the complete opposite is actually closer to the truth.
