isnt he also back on twitter?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes this makes far more sense then the brain dead “bought it to kill it” theory that’s just cope for phony stark

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Here we are talking of very debatable definitions of “making sense” tbh

If they weren't doing anything wrong they shouldn't care who watches where they go, right?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

LOL. There's a silicon valley bigwig jet tracker that I see pop up on my Reddit account, and I'm not even that interested in it.

Elon Musk burning billions of dollars to not have his public information publicly posted is one of the biggest Ls he's ever taken and that's a long list to fight to the top of.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I love that for him 🥰

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

And totally on par for him.

So is Taylor Swift going to buy it next?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

Probably. She'll change it to eX. Tweets will be called ditty and you'll be required to sing them.

She would keep the pay to play mentality though, as that’s how she got her start after all

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

snap snap snap and dance fool

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Called it! 100% called it!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Yep. I called that too. Talk about burning money...

[–] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Even when he wins he does it like such a loser. Fuck this guy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Jesus Christ this is low point even for him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I think he got talked into thinking the Twitter files were real.
