Geee I wonder what could have caused this?
it was bought by musk at the behest of saudi royals who never again wanted to be raked over the coals globally for doing something like butchering kashoggi, the blowback cost them face which they were not prepared for spending billions on things like soccer leagues and stadium to curry favor with the west, and elon wanted saudi markets open for his rocket ships and electric cars, they invested, he invested, but mostly he took out loans from sucker banks which had made money from tesla and space x. i don't think he intended to become the nazi poster child when he bought twitter, but water finds it's own level, and this was always his.
See, I've always maintained that he bought Twitter with the specific intention of earning his spot as the Goebbels in the upcoming Reich. It was never about money, it's always been a power play.
Seriously, does nobody remember that he was forced to buy it by the SEC because he manipulated the stock value?
That was just a shitty negotiating tactic. From day one he's rolled out the red carpet for Trump. Twitter was just his foot in the door so that he's already on Trump's good side and can get his company town going in Texas.
This certainly hasn't helped.
Why do I keep seeing this particular comparison? It's the least obvious part of the whole thing. The rest was clearly a Nazi salute. Without that context you may think he's clutching his chest because he's having a heart attack or something.
Edit: nevermind I'm just dumb. I guess gifs don't auto load on my Lemmy client anymore. I swear they used to.
Working on summit
Connect for Lemmy works pretty good imo.
Ya this is just a still image in Mlem
The App Store version of Mlem doesn't support gifs just yet, but the beta version does.
Sweet! I’ll sign up for test flight!
Voyager is my favorite
Mlem is vastly better.
In what way?
I switched to Voyager from mlem a while back and want to know what’s better now?
I mean … gifs not working in the App Store version isn’t a great sign fwiw
Interesting, I thought I had tried all the lemmy clients. Don’t think I’ve heard of this one. I’ll give it a shot, thanks.
Yeah great, but it's apple only.
