Isn’t Musk all for free speech ?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely! He simply has a very original take on "freedom", but we all know that's a tricky word to pin down, so don't think about it too much, and leave it to the big dogs to tell you when your freedom is being protected.

"Free speech for me, but not for thee" lol

Twitting little twat waffle tears down trust.

I used to enjoy how they always use dumb photos of Leon in these articles. Now I just hate seeing his face.

So basically it is more what twitter was really worth anyway

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It was never worth 44 billion USD

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

False, because someone paid that much for Twitter.

It was worth 44bn to it's former owners.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

Twitter was useful.

X is just useful idiots at this point.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My first thought is 'I can't wait for it to turn zero' but then I realize that 79% decline from 44 billion still means it is worth 9.24 billion.

And that is still a shitload of money.

But on the plus side, this idiot is 34.76 billion poorer
