    Most current and former twitter users probably still do not understand that Musk was actually sued into buying Twitter after he tried to back out of his decision to buy it something like 72 hours prior.

    I basically have a theory that your brain just molds itself to the format of the social media website you use the most, so by that, we have a lot of Twitter users (former, more so than current, at this point) who more or less forgot how to have or hear an idea that takes more than about 5 seconds to think about.

        God, about as well as something like a decade now of continuing to push back his timeframe for a mars landing, about as well as his demo for the still nonexistant Tesla Semi, about as well as that fucking insane video demo for hia humanoid robot that was just like a mime in a suit dancing, about as well as the now multiple videos of SpaceX launch onlookers cheering when a rocket completely explodes because they are so stupid that they think that is the rocket staging

        … oh yes and the piece de resistance…

          I think it’s a self-selecting process. Muskbros who begin to doubt their Lord and Savior will stop following him and talking about how great he is, so every dumbass decision he makes shrinks his core fanbase, but also results in them being less bothered by all the terrible things he does. So it results in this weird situation where his hardcore fanbase have long since abandoned any semblance of reality, and if you reject reality, there’s no point remembering things someone said or did a decade ago.

      I still see redditors saying that Musk is actually subtly trying to destroy Twitter on behalf of the Authoritarian Regimes he owes money to, so no more Arab Spring type movements will happen.

      Like nah, he’s just a fucking idiot who doesn’t knew when to stop making bad decisions
