@maninblack do you just not like posting here? I’d recommend you just stick to Texags the football and recruiting boards. It doesn’t seem to be working out for you in CR, DT or other parts of the board. 

FIFY

FYI Musk and Jack Dorsey are having a live stream now discussing crypto and twitter

I'd be impressed if Elon added $1.6 million in new advertising revenue, while bringing back those who paused their ad buys.

Meanwhile, he's wanting more verification colors, because that's exactly what the people and organizations wanted.

This is going to end up with me filling out some questionnaire bullshit to determine the color on my accounts and being told that if I want to keep my checks I have to pay X amount. 

 

Hmm.  When I go to Twitter, the first thing I think is “This place needs a highly bureaucratic verification system. Something like getting an ID from the Maryland DMV”

Love how he posted this on Twitter.


Yep I was gonna wait until Friday to tag you and tell you its still working. Is it working on your end?

One thing that I've found fascinating/sad is that the internet has had what I would say is an unintended consequence of making an entire segment of the population forget they are lame ass dorks. Then again maybe it was intended, a lot of dorks made the internet.

Oh hey. The Russian propagandist is back. 

MIB has been around since well before Russia was paying people to post. He's just a genuine, honest-to-goodness dipshit lunatic.

He also shouldn't be calling anyone else a lunatic.

Honest truth right here.

This is a result of The Big Bang Theory making nerds think they can be accepted as a part of society. I think that show spoke to Elon and gave him this idea to try to become a cool, hip internet guy. There is only 1 man to blame for all this and it's Chuck Lorre.

I'm not saying we need bullying in schools - I'm not a monster - but I am saying we need to bully adult nerds.  And they will thank us for it someday.  Elon would ultimately have more self-esteem, and an extra $44 billion, if we stuffed him in a few lockers and slapped him around from time to time instead of encouraging him to let the whole world see his tweets.

Elon had to be hospitalized as a kid after being shoved down some stairs at school.  The kid who shoved him did it because Elon had mocked his dad for committing suicide. It doesn't seem like Elon learned anything from the experience, but I want to find whoever did it and buy him a beer.

Is it nerd worship or rich guy bootlicking? The latter has a long history in this country.

Elon Musk actually cameoed on both TBBT and Young Sheldon. 

So yes.

Was this the guy who coached the kid on stair pushing?

I always thought the obsession with towing regulations was weird as fuck and never understood how he was able to maintain an active thread on the subject.

I once told txtow “rock on” and “you’re doing God’s work”.

So yeah, that’s my cross to bear.

“Rock on” was a particularly poor choice of words, and arguably incitement.

goddamn this was funny.

i was just trying to explain this fucking guy last weekend. how he was viewed by the community at large and how we had to deal with him (and yes, people did report his posts with commentary along the lines of "this guy has to be a psycho, he knows way too much about towing") and i found it nearly impossible to explain.

might as well try to explain both tacos.

Since elmo announced the Twitter offer his personal wealth is down about 100 billion. I'm sure he has a little buyers remorse.

I could absolutely see twitter sending out questionnaires telling everybody "okay, justify your checkmark, tell us about your organization or yourself" followed by them mining the data and deciding who to charge.

Quote

Elon Musk is trying to explain why he let Donald Trump and others back onto Twitter, even after he promised that decision would be left up to a content moderation council made up of people with “widely diverse viewpoints.” And wow, his explanation sure is something; in a tweet on Tuesday night, he claimed the council was part of a deal he made with an unnamed “large coalition of political/social activist groups,” implying it was their fault.

 

Quote

Musk claims he made a deal to keep those groups from trying to destroy Twitter’s ad revenue, and that those groups “broke the deal,” and so he no longer has to uphold all that stuff about the council.

Earlier this month, Musk un-banned Jordan Peterson, Kathy Griffin, and The Babylon Bee, before running a poll asking his followers if they wanted to see Donald Trump reinstated on the platform, tweeting “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” which translates to “the voice of the people is the voice of god.” The next day, without any mention of the council, he announced that Trump would be let back on based on the poll’s results (though the former president and current presidential hopeful hasn’t yet made a return to tweeting).
