Took over Twitter. Ruined it. Then : "The sad truth is that there are no great 'social networks' right now,".

Twitter used to be in much better shape financially before musk took over but implying that it was ever "great" is a bit of a stretch

"Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by Dickless here." — Ray Stantz, Twitter engineer

It's true. This man has no dick.

He has like 18000 children.

Plenty of awesome people are dick-free, and being dick-ful in no way suggests competence or any other positive trait.

Edit: ITT: omg tech bros are so toxic Also ITT: dick measuring

Because he's doing everything to make it fail and destroy the platform, isn't it obvious?

No, you don't throw away $44 billion just for shit and giggles, not even if you are as rich as Musk. Musk is (probably) a narcissist who thought he could make it work in his delusional mind.

He wanted a mouthpiece for the MAGA crowd, and he probably thought the desire in the population for it, would make it succeed, if he made the platform embrace that. He probably envisioned himself as a great liberator, who would be celebrated for bringing free speech back to America.

Musk has been losing it for a long time, and it seems to only get worse.

I wonder if he ever had it.
