    I guess he has so much money he has to get rid of it by setting it on fire.

    Well isn’t he stupid, if he really wants to offload some just give it to me. It would be a lot faster than burning it.

    Yeah, if Musk burns Twitter down people will move onto something, hopefully, better.

    RSS feeds FTW?

    Of all the Marvel characters Thanos is not the one I would want to be.

    Unfortunately for Elon (fortunately for the rest of us) there is no Marvel character named White Panther. He had to settle for Thanos.

    Is this real? There are 5 egregious spelling/ grammatical errors in those two memos combined. Sloppy shit. I don't even allow that in my intra-office emails. Sheesh.

    Yeah, someone got comma happy. I see misspellings, run-on sentences, and other grammatical issues.

    Guys at Boeing who worked on nuclear missiles use to spell them "missels". That made me nervous about the resulting product of their work.

    How musk is ru(I)ning Twitter makes me wonder if he really knows how to run a successful business, or just comes in my with an inflated sense of his abilities.

    Or knows the definition of things but not what things mean.

    So Twitter is a MW2 lobby in 2009 again. I'm not sure if this has been brought up here, but forums took a massive hit after social media herded everyone into a handful of options, or subreddits that are based on one platform, obviously. If Twitter is too much for people these days, maybe forums with a more individual TOS can fill the gap. Most of the political alternatives have flopped, Gab is for Hitler nerds, TruthSocial is for MAGA boomers, Parler already died once. I know a lefty version of Twitter exists too that came up recently (Mastodon? idk) and it sucks ass too. Hoping for a forum comeback.
