Just fucking stop.
Elon Musk was forced to buy Twitter after doing several incredibly stupid things publicly.
Quit assisting this fascist dumbass in his attempt at laundering his reputation.
I don't see how claiming he bought Twitter to try and shut up a teenager does anyting to help his reputation.
It re-enforces the idea that he is a "genius" who is playing "4D Chess" and that he "has a plan" and not that he's a fucking drug addled freak who is making decisions based on his emotional state at the time.
There was no plan, there's never a plan. Rich people just play this game where, because they have enough money to insulate themselves from their bad decisions, they pretend that "this was always their plan."
Pretty much Musk:
Anyone who thinks spending 44 billion dollars on shutting up a teenager constitutes a "genius plan" is already fully on-board the Musk cult. I don't think there's really much reinforcement happening.
I agree we shouldn't pretend he's anything less than a dumb asshole who got caught with his pants down.
It re-enforces the idea that he is a "genius" who is playing "4D Chess" and that he "has a plan"
No, it does not. It makes him look like a kid without any kind of self control (which he probably is anyway)
And it does that on a platform where it reaches hundreds of people! :D
So just calm down, no one cares
Man child.
I dunno man. A teenager baiting a billionaire into spending a significant amount of his fortune to shut him up sounds like the most successful troll in history to me.
