  Well, let's not single him out on that bit.
context: "Elon Musk Funded by Terrorists" >
  
  Technically you are now more correct than when it was just Truth Social and the refugees from Parlor. >
  
  Domestic vs international. >
  
  Yes.
  There are Q-Trumpists in India. In India! WTF do they get out of some used car dealer who may not even be able to find them on a map? >
  
  As an Indian I’ve never understood it either. It’s one of the strangest phenomena ever. >
  
  I just heard about it recently. Are these people similar to the Q in the USA or are they some unique manifestation only India could produce?
  I have a feeling this is part of a social media manipulation and that it’s a world wide push to organize all the angry paranoid people. >
  
  "Thanks for the eight bucks." He said. >
  
  Per month, per account: he'll make back that lost $200 billion in no time. >
  
  Nit: The buyout price for Twitter was $43 billion. >
  
  The nit where, in context, the relevant comparison would be to the cost of twitter. If you weren’t using that as the baseline, as would be natural, you can just say, “I was comparing to Musk’s personal loss of net worth” instead of making me read a link to untangle what you mean. >
  
  He lost all that money because he bought Twitter: that is Twitter's true cost of ownership. >
  
  That’s not the right way to account for it. It’s one party’s loss because of semi related events.  Not everyone who participated in the twitter purchase suffered a share of the $200 bn loss, only of the $43 bn loss. >

  You are wrong, since every everyone who paid $44 billion to own Twitter also lost a total of $200 billion. >
  
  Nobody paid $44 bn. It was jointly financed across multiple parties.
  And even if Musk had out put up $44 bn, it doesn’t mean the other losses were attributable solely to that purchase. The Tesla price fluctuations were not entirely due to the sale of Musk’s shares, for example. >
  
  It took me a few to realize they weren't talking about hound dogs. >
  
  For me it was; "They crave the Lyme disease?" For about 24.3 seconds. >
  
  You might think more clearly if you don't track the completion time of your thoughts to the 10th of a second. >
  
  Oh, so you think Chat GPT and Google Search are less clear than you who tracks thoughts on your weekly calendar a month in advance?
  "Tuesday the 5th,... Today I had a thought, which I shall let gestate for a day or so, until it has mellowed." >
  
  Haha, I don't even know what day it is! >
  
  It looks like Musk has found a way to please that sought-after Taliban and scam marketers looking for legitimacy demographic. >
  
  Hey, don't forget "Nazis seeking to spread their ideology via social media". The dude was VERY happy to unban prominent white supremacists so that they too can buy the checkmark and gain legitimacy on twitter >
  
  I am still about 90% sure that Musk bought Twitter so that he could use it to manipulate who gets elected. Once he puts people in office, and they know his finger on the scales of "freedom and truth" helps them get into office. He hopes to make his money back on super lucrative government contracts.
  "What is this man's genius and reason for a comeback?" Everyone will say in shock and hushed tones. He's a piece of shit who will help other pieces of shit get in power and they will help him in return. Getting contracts and financing is his one and perhaps only genius talent.
  You know, because that's what humanity needs; one more pig at the trough making sure that they get fed. It's so transparent. The future is as stupid as it is predictable and annoying.
  The solution of course, is someone needs to put LSD in his smoothie one day, so that he can experience true wonder and stop being a selfish prick. >

  The illusion of his power comes from his wealth, and the reputation for turning everything he touches into a success. He's lost half that net worth, and will lose more with the Tesla lawsuit. Twitter has been such a big failure, it's seriously screwed his other company's. Don't get me wrong, I thought the same thing, but musk just doesn't have the influence to play King Maker anymore. >

  Well, it is a roll of the dice. It's not that he isn't TRYING to play king maker and I do hope he fails. However, these people at the top have a tendency to fail upwards. Rupert Murdoch was in the red with Fox News for over a decade -- they paid more for each audience member than they got (paying to get their channel in venues and more than giving it away). Now it makes a profit -- but, it really makes its value by the reality it creates in people's heads. It promotes fascism and props up candidates who work against the working class.
  So, who is to say that in two years, Musk doesn't look like a genius with new contracts? Because sometimes, it's not about the money -- it's about convincing people to put the chain around their own necks. That's necessary until the vote can be rigged and they can get the pesky democracy part out of the way. >
  
  You know Elon, this “free speech” you talk about, should actually be reserved for countries that have free speech. 
  You know, it’s always acceptable to tell oppressive terrorists to shove their heads up their asses! >
  
  Lol you should see how much he adores China >
  
  Wonder how long it takes the Taliban to get Talibanned >
  
  Never. >
  
  I’m… pretty sure it’s like super mega illegal to deal financially with them. >
  
  hold me beer - elon muskrat >
  
  Does this mean for $8/month I can be Muhammad The Prophet with a blue tick?
  Will I be jihadi'd if I upload a profile picture? >
  
  Test drive that! >
  
  I would but I'm too worried they'd find out I lived at Mar-A-Lago! >
  
  Elon loves anybody who's got the money to pay him
