Week Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Doing his best to become an ex-Billionaire, with an old, old, old *new* idea that will be just the ticket. To bankruptcy. There is no better current use case for why billionaires should be taxed out of billions. He's destroyed enormous value and livelihood for himself, investors, employees, etc. and he's still worth billions.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 At least Bezos mostly gets me the shit I ordered in a few days, sometimes overnight. Elon would make me wait six months for new towels. But yeah, fuck all billionaires. There should be a 99% tax on anything anyone has over that threshold because they're never going to spend it anyways and you only need a few mansions and one super yacht. Also, it's funny he wouldn't listen to people telling him the rebranding choice was a bad idea. He named one of his kids X and tried to put numbers in the kiddo's name. That alone should have gotten the state to take away all his kids and have him committed. Ser Scot A Ellison and IlyaP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog-days Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Closed my personal Twitter account a couple of days ago. The water on the sinking ship was pooling round my ankles. It was time to go. Had better open something on Mastodon now and close the work one too. What a prick. Kalbear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'd never heard of it as a right-wing thing, except in 'American History X' I suppose, but even if it is tbf I doubt that's Elon's reasoning. He just likes the letter coz it's used to refer to porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 So, the lady personage that is now not twitter includes banking in what the not twitter is going to provide .... As Someone Not Me wrote elsewhere in response to this: Quote Banking? From the people who can’t competently operate the microblogging website they took over? I would rather give my money to a guy working out of the back of his truck wearing a “Federal Breast Inspector” t-shirt than Elon Musk.

Ferocious Veldt Roarer Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 One tangent thought: even after Elon's purge, the company must still be full of nerds. How come nobody told him that they're ripping off the logo of X Window System? It is not "hey, they do look kinda similar", it's "they're the same picture". (Buying popcorn in anticipation of lawsuit from X.Org Foundation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
