He's not a teenager with dyed hair.

but everyone saw it coming since he said it months ago

Alternative headline: Man annoyed hes not in the news enough; makes more news about himself.

Welp he has a week to buy Twitter or he has to go to court. So maybe he's just trying to say anything he can to get out of buying Twitter. But he's probably just digging a deeper hole for himself. Not that's he's going to face any kind of real consequences.

Let that "sink" in

Is anyone else scared that a guy who is obviously in talks with Russian oligarchs, who needs money desperately, is buying the biggest social media platform and taking it private?

Also it's Elon Musk, guy's a

Once again, I ask you: What is it that you want to say on Twitter that you believe you currently cannot?

Twitter has a workforce?

Why won't Parler respect #freetheanus !?!? MUH FREE SPEECH

And nothing of value was lost

Have to make up for his piss poor business decision somehow

I hope Twitter straight up fucking collapses.

Basically this is very likely.

Musk has alot of haters, wouldn't be surprised if a ton of people just flat out stop using twitter that used to because he now owns it, and also the whole firing 75% of employees thing is not going to endear him to the average person.

Even musk will be hurt if all that money he spent buying it is wasted as twitter collapses.

I don't, nor have I ever, used twitter, so no real skin in this but it's interesting just the same.

I've been hoping for this for a long time.

People acting as though this is new to the tech industry.

He'll probably end up shipping the work overseas to the lowest bidder, like Google and Facebook.

Just what we need, less jobs!

Maybe it's something they can't say on GameFAQs because of those evil mods.

I was going to say, "Well, I guess Del Harvey [formerly of To Catch a Predator] is gone," but it seems she already left.

Naturally, he seems to have disabled mentions, so I can't even call him back here to avoid the question.

if he was actually 'pro free speech' he'd disallow blocking people so that I could harass Dr. Jordan B Peterson once again as it is my right

he retweeted me when I asked if he could dress himself, and asked if I 'spun my own yarn'. I said I was re-stitching my biking gloves, and he blocked me. what a nazi!!

Selling your personal data to other tech companies?

CNBCs Deirdre Bosa interviewed two people who identified themselves as Twitter employees and were seen near the companys San Francisco headquarters carrying cardboard boxes.

Skepticism immediately emerged on social media. One of the pranksters said his name was Rahul Ligma a reference to a popular internet meme and held a copy of Michelle Obamas book Becoming aloft while speaking to reporters. The other said his name was Daniel Johnson.

That might be because hes currently warned for posting naughty things here.

Possibly, but I think he was still active when I tried. I could believe he's blocked mentions to avoid being called to account for the objectively indefensible things he likes saying.
