    I love how we had a poster here excited about Elon being involved with twitter because of people being "canceled", but has never commented on Elon banning people since he took over. Generally people that are critical of Elon. I guess that's different?
    Anyways, he can't speak for himself, so maybe if fox writes an article about it, he can link it with no explanation and that will suffice.

    So the GOP's new favorite toy is refusing to pay for stuff he owes, and is threatening people with lawsuits if they talk about things.

    Wait...is Musk running for President!?

    So much for free speech absolutist. Twitter suspended accounts of a number of journalists who criticized Musk.

    Musk is just a big giant spoiled baby. That’s literally how he functions in life. He’s a fucking horrible human being.

    What a fucking piece of shit. Even banning established journalists. I'm done with Twitter.

    Oh well. He's just going to run it into the ground and hurt his own brand.

    Problem is, this will hurt SpaceX as well. And I really like what they've done. I hope they can figure out how to cut Musk out and still keep advancing at the same pace.

    When Republicans put up their "Kanye Elon Trump" tweet, they were indeed three of a kind.

    I asked the chatbot to write a limerick about Elon, and it's actually not bad:

    There once was a man named Elon
    Who bought Twitter for forty-four billion
    But his ego got in the way
    And he mismanaged the play
    Now the site's in shambles, a miserable milion

    He thought he could do it all alone
    But he should have known
    That Twitter's a tricky beast
    And requires some finesse
    Now it's a shadow of its former throne

    Oh Elon, what have you done?
    You thought you could have some fun
    But now the site's a mess
    And your reputation, a stress
    Maybe it's time to move on and let someone else have a run.

    Not bad. I prefer the earlier works of Barfolomew.

    Yup, I've already decided that I'm ditching Starlink a.s.a.p....2 months after I got Starlink they not only raised the monthly rate by $20, my bandwidth went from 300 MBS to about 90 MBS and once Musk created the Twitter shit storm I decided enough is enough. Coincidently, fiber optic internet and TV is supposed to be available in my area next month.

    So, for about $60 LESS than I'm currently paying for Starlink and DISH network, I can get the Conexon fiber optic internet/Direct TV bundle, which will net me 2000 MBS internet and the same TV channels I already have.

    12/17 I just received a three-day restriction on my ability to follow. The follower limit rule sucks. I found out the mobile and Lap top apps are different, as I was punished on the Lap top account and got slapped with follower limit reached on my mobile. What!!?? Why????.
