From the guy who coined the perfect ‘Apartheid Princeling Bitchboy’ epithet:
maybe the most fundamental sign musk has the business intuition of a doorknob is his belief donald trump is gonna give him anything for free
can absolutely see this spiraling into some wacky pay to play deal where trump gets $50K a tweet just to ultimately cost twitter $100K in back end revenue each time
what, ah, what leverage would you say you have in this here arrangement you’ve constructed, elon
so listen, donald it’s like this, I want to make you the star of this here show and it pays in exposure wait where are you going stop laughing I’m serious
I mean you are a motherfucking billionaire who bought a failing website with absolutely no prospects of making money and you think donald fucking trump isn’t gonna shove a spit down your throat and roast you over a cheery holiday fire for every penny he can get out of you
buddy… you fucked up again
(Not that a noncompete contract would actually stop TFG, but it does give him an out)
He’s a moron because he didn’t know that trump signed a non compete contract 😂😂😂 how does he not know this 😂

If you would like some insight into why advertisers are pausing their Twitter ad campaigns here it is: the UI is not working properly and they don't even know who to complain to about it because their support teams have vanished. https://t.co/bQ6w4wZCXl

A historic tech renaissance to do what, exactly? People love talking about Musk like he's an exceptional visionary, but his first month owning Twitter reads as someone who has no idea what he wants to do or where he wants to go https://t.co/nWgJvmZZon

But, sadly, seriously:
Twitter is incredibly important to the revolution in Iran. And incredibly important for countless reasons. Fuck that guy if he manages to break it. https://t.co/4X5ZlKWktE

"Most of us have experienced firsthand Trump making complete assholes out of all of us," said @Olivianuzzi, who isn't rushing to Mar-a-Lago. "I will fully engage with this when I know what I am engaging with."

It’s scheduled for 9pm. If it happens — we can’t dismiss the possibility TFG will throw a tantrum & refuse to speak if the crowd isn’t big enough — it’ll undoubtably be some new level of grift, but what exactly are the specifics?

And how much flabby white arse will his ‘loyal’ Repub party members show, whether supporting or renouncing him?

Claiming you're fighting leftists who hate America & refuse to say anything good about it kinda falls apart when you're up against Mark Kelly, veteran combat pilot, famous astronaut, & all-around nice guy, whose wife nearly died serving the people of Arizona.

A lot of people are taking tonight as an opportunity to go around and give Republicans and pundits a hard time about what happened with the Senate. I just want to say I think that’s very good and you should continue doing it.

*You* may be too tasteful to enjoy watching the ongoing GOP Uncivil Wars, but *I* come from a proud Irish-American tradition of celebrating your enemies’ every misstep.
Hey, it’s Friday night after a long, hard week…
Repubs in disarray!
The Republicans are now in a perfect storm of everything constantly getting worse internally for them, if they get the House it will be narrow and a circus, meanwhile, the elite deluding themselves with Desantis while the base still loves Trump.

This quote is so beautiful. Never forget this – the people turning on Trump are doing so only because of their distaste for losing. In their own words he is at his most irresponsible and chaotic *today* – when he wields no power, unemployed at a country club in Florida. https://t.co/QetLIkTa3Z

One the one hand, unless somebody has really been holding out on us, none of us will ever be in a position to set $44 billion dollars on fire just for the lulz. On the other, we’ll never have an estimated billion or so people watching as we fetch’n’step for an online entity that calls themselves Catturd…
his cretinous fanboys and remora sycophants keep trying to pump him up, but this week has pierced the veil in a way i can’t remember a veil being pierced before. imagine the kind of person who thinks this guy is tony stark after this week.
