Musk knows that he needs to say/do outrageous things to keep receiving either attention on twitter or free press. He strives to be relevant to those who, for some reason, take him seriously. He’s a pathological liar willing to say whatever ridiculous thing makes him appear as relevant.

exactly this. what a sad and incompetent sack of shit he is.
pleased to see mastodon continuing to grow, because i’m so happy with the content i see on there. i actually enjoy browsing the “explore” tab because unlike twitter, it’s not all drama bait for the sake of driving up engagement statistics to please a board of shareholders. it’s just real people posting cute tidbits about their personal lives

Also to mask the fact that his leveraged buyout of Twitter was always going to kill it. There was never any way the business could support $13bn of debt without further investment, but with Musk acting like a clown most people will think it failed because of his mismanagement, rather than as an intentional strategy to divide the voice of the people.

Dude doesn’t even own twitter. Saudi princes and the Qatar government have a much bigger share that he does. This is all about controlling mass media.

Other parties (including the ones you mentioned) have sizable stakes in twitter, but they are much smaller than Elon’s stake, not the other way around. (Remember, it sold for $44B, you can divide that by the numbers in the article by that to see how much each investor mentioned owns).

Cis- is just a prefix from latin meaning “on the same side”… the vatican should sue Twitter.

Chemist So that’s why there’s a difference between cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene.

Wait why am I being banned??

Also: Man is this that same Twitter place that banged the gong on free speech?

They’re called fascists. They’ll bang on and on about how your rights are being taken away so you should empower them to protect you. Then, the second you do, they’ll be the first to take away the rights you thought you were protecting.
