    Even the dickhead rwnjs who hated the “blue check marks” because they would disprove whatever nonsense about they were saying about Hillary being executed by military tribunal benefited from knowing who was who on twitter.

    There is going to be an adjustment for our G5 posters joining the Big 12. Speed of the game is just so much faster.

    Is it going to be more a more embarrassing blow to Musk's ego to roll back this stupid plan, or slowly erode Twitter's one true value as a website?

    An answer entirely dependent on whether Tesla's investors still believe Tesla can compete with actual car companies as they roll out their new electric/hybrids.

    Not much longer until Twitter takes the next step in Musk’s business plan and moves it’s operations out of the office and into a two-car garage.

    Succession has given us some of the greatest character on TV today. if the writers had pitched a character behaving exactly as Elon Musk has this past year it would have ended up on the cutting room floor for being too far fetched. you can't even concoct a fictional character as vain and foolish as this guy.
