Enough Musk Spam

Elon musk must have read Art of the deal recently, it’s obvious in his recent business dealings
this is what happens when you run a government the way you're used to running the monopoly you own. "hardball" doesn't work on the global stage.
More like Art of Seduction. Dude is going around being megadouche, negging people and trying to make up for it with cheesy magic tricks.
That must count as the most financially ruinous tweet ever. Serves Elon right for being a total prick.
Wasn’t president Musk’s announcement that he was going to BUY twitter a tweet? Seeing as it’s worth fuck-all now that’s in the running.
Yeah though his total demolition of the company wasn’t done by that tweet. He had to keep making bad decisions for that!
To be fair, buying Twitter was instrumental in him getting Trump to the presidency.
Like any Billionaire, he needed a media outlet to manufacture consent with - I'd argue that him buying Twitter wasn't as stupid a move as it initially seems.
Buying the company was the decision to take over the communications channel by dictators worldwide. It wasn't an accident and he doesn't care about the value of shitter in the long term.
Sauce please? Because that is fucking amazing!
Musk will most likely blame it on South African apartheid and him being discriminated against.
Keep it up world. Bankrupt Musk. Let’s make the world’s richest man, the poorest. Rob him of absolutely everything.
"Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'..."
I don't have a business degree, so can someone help me understand if this is how you win at stonks?
He must have checked his list of criminal dealings, saw that Musk was on it, and decided to correct it.
Thanks Carlos!
Slim might be one of the coolest rich guys around. He put up a museum in Mexico city and it's free. For everyone, all the time.
Billionaires used to do that kind of thing all the time when they knew they could either walk the street a hero or a target. Mexican billionaires still live in reality it seems.
Good. Unfortunately, it just means Elon will be enraged to decimate America further.
Really hoping for a Player 2. I'd do it myself but I'm a terrible shot.
Fuck all billionaires. Including this Mexican one idfc what he did to musk
I would hesitate before judging someone purely on one statistic but it's difficult to imagine how one amasses that sort of money ethically. If I asked you to think of a billionaire that you would leave in charge of children, who would you pick? Bill Gates perhaps, Warren Buffet? It's slim pickings.
Jon Ronson advanced the idea that psychopathy is over-represented in the CEO class and presented some compelling examples in his book, The Psychopath Test.
Musk is a deranged idiot
It’s sad how happy this makes me…. Oh well.
You love to see it
Jesus dude... if you want to piss away your money, I'd take a couple hundred million
He just fucked with the wrong Mexican.
He's a billionaire, of course he has some relations with crime, Musk is just dumb enough to say the quiet part out loud.
Pot calling the kettle black, eh?
Russia's useful tech bro idiot really doesn't need to comment on the company other people keep.
Is Musk becoming the new Mike Lindell? I hope so.
Best heavy blow for Tsarlink
Oh no! Anyway I made fantastic Swedish coffee at this morning, really delicious, I can say.
