jross Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 My (Democrat politician) teammate almost picked a fight on Sunday. I had to stop him when he said, "Before X screwed up Twitter"... I like him better as a baseball player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ai could swap the words out though. You don't know what "stammering" is? Then maybe stop using the word in your posts to describe someone with a speech impediment. That's super f'd up. Not everyone is born perfect, and nobody needs turds like you to point out our imperfections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestleknownothing Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 This is a Tesla question, but would you pay Elon Musk $55.8 billion at this point in Tesla's history? Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestleknownothing Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Bringing back an oldie, but a goodie thread because this is too funny not to post. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/musks-x-is-flooded-with-ad-spam-stolen-credit-cards-may-be-key?ref=thediff.co “Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, has in the past couple of months been inundated with a wave of ads for porn sites and fake luxury goods. That might sound like a low-priority problem for X, as these ads – no matter how sketchy – could in theory bring in much-needed ad revenue. The problem is that the flood of ad spam, as insiders refer to it, has coincided with a surge in credit card firms asking X for refunds on unauthorized transactions. That indicates that at least some of the spam ads are paid for with stolen cards, say people familiar with the situation, which means X doesn’t get to keep any money generated from the ads.” Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know it financially isn't going well by reading into Elon's response in the Don Lemon interview about buying Twitter to protect free speech while avoiding talk of profit. From a user perspective, X is going VERY WELL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestleknownothing Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I missed this last week, but the Supreme Court refused to hear Musk's Twitter Sitter case, where he claims the agreement he signed with the SEC violates his constitutional rights to free speech. I guess you still can't lie to commit securities fraud. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

three_arrows Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 It's sssooo much better that they are begging for advertisers... https://futurism.com/elon-musk-begs-advertisers-return-twitter-revenue FTA: Now, Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino are back in damage control mode, trying to scrounge up some much-needed funds at this year's Cannes Lions festival in southern France. The mercurial billionaire reportedly met with executives from the likes of the NFL, L'Oreal, Qualcomm, and Target, according to new reporting by the NYT. But whether these measures will help Musk's hate speech-ridden echo chamber from bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter remains to be seen. After all, who could forget that Musk quite literally told advertisers to go ***duck** themselves in November — fighting words that likely didn't sit well with the execs he's now pleading to return to X. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jross Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 X is 100% better for us because we decide what information is shared rather than a few editors with agendas.
