    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.

      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.

        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 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.
