Would it surprise you if they committed scientific fraud by skewing data inputs to produce a desired outcome? This happens all of the time from crime statistics to climate change to Presidential polling averages.

This reminds me of my favorite line from How I Met Your Mother. Robin is a news anchor and her lead in to commercial was, "Is your baby trying to kill you? The answer may surprise you."

And Musk's lawyer hilariously calls it Twitter.

The letter was written on July 20 before the name change. It’s only been X for 8 days.

The X is on its way down.  It is almost as if Musk laid off the lawyers as well.  Perhaps he decided to take charge of all the departments he is not well versed in.

He already said it was a temporary sign. Nobody with half a brain would think he’d get away with that being a permanent fixture.

There were cranes doing that work.  Both putting it up and tearing it down a few days later.   That sign cost many millions.

It’s a matter of scales. He makes more millions in a month than you or I make hundreds in a year… I know I’ve wasted several hundred bucks on stupider things.

The pr value is worth every penny. Let that sink in.

You are right.  Not being snarky, but he has already burned through about 30 billion on Twitter->X

Twitter—>X cost something like $4B alone in loss of brand value. I have a feeling he doesn’t really care. He’s never not going to be unimaginably rich, no matter what he does. Even with “just” $1B, you can spend almost $55k/day for 50 years… it’d get boring after a couple of years, but I wouldn’t be against trying it. With his net worth right now, he could do Brewster’s Millions until he’s 720 years old, but he’d probably run out of stamps to buy after a while.

Having a great time, wish you were here,

Why aren't Twitter's vendors being paid then? 

[WrestlingRasta]

Yes, as Iowans, or at least in our area of Iowa, we aren't very Golden Corral savvy.

I hear tell that Wkn knows a thing or two about the Golden Corral.

Was expecting you to say you know not to eat there or at least know not to take the wife there for the weekend fancy meal.

Any day now that will become actual value.

Impressive PR stunt. Great way to get everyone, including your detractors to talk about X.

He seems to have a thing about X.   Named his kid with an X.   Renamed Twitter to X.   I have been told he wanted to name paypal X.   Seems to be a thing of his.

And the company he merged with Paypal's creator was called X.com. In the deal Paypal got to keep the URL. Ultimately, Musk bought it back from PayPal in 2017.
