With the Twitter limits today, I think we are already seeing the fallout begin.

It took me 3 minutes of slow loading to get this and this.

It's been over half an hour now and I still have a blank twitter page, what if today is the day twitter actually goes down.

Crazy how being a total asshole to everyone on the planet doesn’t work out in your favor

"It worked so far. I wonder what I'm doing wrong now. I'm probably slipping. I just need to try (to be an asshole) harder."

“Doesn’t work out in your favor”

You know you’re talking about a guy that became a billionaire by being a jerk to lots of people and even scamming governments, right?

And he could do all that by using money from his father, which became super rich by making lots of Africans work like slaves in mines.

Being a jerk is a lifestyle that pays a lot, unfortunately.

It works out in their favour at the cost of literally everyone else
