The Verge: Welcome to hell, Elon

Hehe. Amusing, but I don't think any of these guys will get the reaction they're looking for (unless by posting nothing but the same picture every day they get marked as spambots, which would be completely fair).

Musk might be wierd, impulsive and reckless but he's not stupid enough to tell Twitter to make overtly biased and personal moderation decisions, even when it's about him.

As if we needed any more evidence that all he spews is BS.

So after saying there would be mass layoffs, then saying there would not be, we now have this:

Hi Robert,

It looks like its started already. From the chief twit, or perhaps King twit.

Hillary Clinton : posted a tweet assailing Republicans for spreading “hate and deranged conspiracy theories” that she said had emboldened the man who attacked Ms. Pelosi’s husband, Paul, inside the couple’s home in San Francisco early Friday.

Elon responded by tweeting

“There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye” and then shared a link to an article in the Santa Monica Observer. The article alleges that Mr. Pelosi was drunk and in a fight with a male prostitute.

That makes more sense that anything that has been reported thus far. Thanks for sharing Phill.

So what's your theory? Was Paul Pelosi waiting, hammer in hand, to ambush Nancy and the pool boy she's been banging showed up off schedule and saved the day?

Crap. You've got at least 50 points on Brent . Yet he sucked you in again. Come on Joe cut back on that rum. Save some for your shipmates.

So the fool has deleted the tweet, and is now trying to deny it happened.

Who needs bots, when the idiot running the show is pushing fake news?

[JoeWeber 2,339]

Actually, I'm putting to rest two bottles of 1998 Grand Cru Burgundy tonight. Last night I dreamt that they went bad in the bottle, leapt out of bed freaked out, and immediately pulled them for consumption just to be able to sleep. They're drinking pretentiously beautifully in a very Mondrian sort of way.

Yeah, when REAL Nazis are triumphantly praising something, it probably isn't a good thing.

This is from last spring, but it still applies.

Hi Robert,

He might just find out that everything he touches does not turn to gold.

The suspect had a roll of tape, white rope, a second hammer and zip ties in his possession when he was arrested, the justice department said. He had planned to hold Mrs Pelosi hostage and was going to break "her kneecaps" if she "lied" to him, according to court documents.

Male prostitutes are into some kinky shit these days, I guess.

It’s what one would expect from a loony lefty Green Party member.

(funny how none of the security cameras and the police officers body cams seemed to be working)

Let's see:

Claimed the 2020 election was "stolen"
Posted transphobic memes
Claimed COVID-19 vaccines were deadly and that Fauci was a criminal
Posted a video titled "Democrat FARCE Commission to Investigate January 6th Capitol Riot COLLAPSES in Congress!"
Claimed George Floyd died of a drug overdose and not a cop kneeling on his neck
A neighbor said he was "using Biblical justification to do harm"

Will be fun to see how the FOX News crowd will try to spin all those as "lefty beliefs."
