I love that he tricked himself into buying Twitter in the first place.

It’s like an endless staircase that he just keeps tumbling down. It’s beautiful.

Seems this is his endgame: to have his own Internet and his own social media platform so his stupid half-baked opinions on everything will be heard by everyone around the world whether they like it or not.

Just a few more billion in the bank and I'm sure he'll finally be satisfied and gladly fuck off to wherever dipshit billionaires fuck off to. (งツ)ว

Yeah this seems like he's testing out the consequences of telling a nation, "You can't stop me." Brazil isn't a small country, but it's not a major power either. Both Brazil and the US are members of INTERPOL, however.

Personally, I don't think it's about money anymore. This feels more like an ideological mission.
