The manliest fragrance aroun and yours for only $40 billion dollar.

Would anyone be too upset if he did a Murdoch/Myspace to it?

It's extremely useful for providing evidence of modern usage for words, but other than that, no

I don't think I'd miss it much, no

I would find it quite funny if he lost a ton of money though

Considering the previous owners included the Saudi Royal Family investment fund, this can only be an improvement.

Interestingly, I read a thing that claimed that Musk needs Twitter so he can game the stock market, given every time he tweets something things go up or down accordingly. Seeing as I can see a lot of people just flat out abandoning Twitter now, and that Twitter's active userbase is piddling next to Facebook, he might have completely fucked himself in the long run. Also he's being investigated by a US Governmental department over stuff like that, for at least the second time

Also one of his recent tweets was that Twitter should get rid of the W in its name, because Musk thinks mentioning tits is really funny and he also genuinely doesn't realise that "titter" is an actual word

I just read that he wasn't actually able to play all the money himself, and about half of it is from loans he took out from banks. Hmmmm.

Also I absolutely must link to this, in which Stewart Lee fave novelist Jarret Kobek has an interaction with a daft prick that basically sums up Twitter and all its inanity.

[clicks on 'create account']

"On this server - Creating an account on mastodon.social is currently not possible"

That's a good start! :D

Then on the next server thingy I tried:

The next next server thingy I tried:
