That’s true, but casually joking about buying companies when you basically did that (albeit with enough details to not be taken as a joke) is so monumentally dumb. Even for musk. Dude really has not learned to shutup yet.
It was an inconvenience to be sure, he has a metric f*** ton of money but it’s not liquid assets. He got a lot of people to come in and fund it and then took loans against a small amount of his Tesla stock.
Realistically though it didn’t put him in any serious trouble, any ended up with a propaganda media company.
What are you basing that on? I lost a ton of followers when they started deleting bot acconts and the steady flow of around 4 new bot followers each day has died down as well. Maybe your experience has been different but if you’re not even on Twitter, I wonder how you would know.
Jokes aside, I made that account because I wanted to try how Lemmy would be like if I cleared my 1000 users long blocklist (that you were on too) and instead try using word filters to filter out individual toxic messages rather than blocking the whole user just because one of their messages grinded my gears.
On a side note. I went thru your post history a little and saw you defending southeners against the generalizations made about them and though you were being quite reasonable there, and probably heavily downvoted for it as is the case with Lemmy. This is exactly why I wanted to try alternative methods to blocking - it’s just too blunt of a tool.
Oh man, that’s hilarious. Almost as funny as that time he joked about buying Twitter; can you imagine if that happened?
For what it’s worth, he tried his damndest to get out of buying Twitter. I’m sure he wants people to forget that part.

To FAFO, One must face consequences, and he is far too rich to face consequences.
I mean buying twitter at a massive premium was a consequence. Although yeah, he just pooled together other people to pay for it :/.

It’s almost as if he knew it wasn’t worth $44Billion.
But, it did buy the presidency, along with a dearth of misinformation, so it’s served its purpose I suppose.

…after finding out they lied about the actual amount of bots there.
Then the bots quadrupled under him.
