Turns out telling would-be clients to go fuck themselves is a great way to change their status firmly into the “not clients” catagory

Bad news for Elon is always good news for me.

That's the spirit

Elon can make money through ads because he has collected loads of user data and know your interests. I'd be happy to see him take a hit in this regard. Why not use decentralized social media? They don't collect any data and there won't be any targeted ads.

I just want to know how much Russia paid Musk to buy Twitter.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago

Billions of the funding to purchase came from members ofthe lovely ruling family of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

You know, the guys who gave Jared kushner 2 billion for... some reason. And who TFG absolutely adores.

Middle Eastern money is a good sign for Musk, with 32% of the original $7.1 billion equity commitment coming from Alwaleed and the Qatari fund.

It's fine. He thinks they can all go fuck themselves anyways. Giant ass fuckin manchild. I hate that him and bezos are going to be around for so much longer. It's not like the geriatric fucks that are nearly dead anyways. Just a whole new generation of rich corrupt assholes.
