Elon Musk Completes $44 Billion Twitter Takeover, Fires Top Executives, and Makes Himself CEO

You are correct here. But of course you are; I posted this. However, it was reported that it was missing a few days before it was reported. So it was missing before Reuters reported it, making it longer than the initial report.
It wasn't until at least a day from being reported to 3-4 days from it initially missing that Musk responded to it. Until called out on it, Musk was completely comfortable with it going missing until a replacement "mysteriously" appeared, to make it look like it never was removed.
Meanwhile, in other news, you can't make this <insert favorite S-word here> up.
Elon Musk Says @ElGrecoSF Has Tiny Testicles
As Tesla's stock value tanked, the billionaire and multiple-hyphenate tech CEO tweeted about what really matters.

So what does Space Karen do? he tweets anti-woke memes:
In which some random user with less than 500 followers critiques him, in which Musk responds:
Space Karen gotta Space Karen. And the sad part: this is coming from a CEO of 3 companies that sounds more immature than Pee Wee Herman on a bad day.. and at least Pee Wee Herman was sort of funny while annoying, and Musk can't even beat that.
BL.
Thanks.
You mean noticed.
When Reuters noticed and wrote about it Ella Irwin replied and gave an explanation. The next day it was actually back online. That’s it. That’s all there is to it.
I understand you believe this was just another super evil plan by Musk foiled by Reuters publishing their article causing him to panic and quickly back out his plot and restoring it. I’m just not buying it. I’m just not that good at handstands.
If it was "still there", it shouldn't have been taken down to begin with. But it was. That is the point you continually miss.
No. This is Musk being an absolute idiot and the entire world seeing him for who and what he is, as well as his stans following him like Dave Mustaine wrote back in 1991:
Megadeth said:
The Stans will keep on following and dancing, while their CEO leader tanks 3 companies and getting nothing out of it except for being a $44 billion internet troll.
BL.
It might come as as shock but a company can temporarily take something offline for maintenance. Of course Musk should have polled about it first.
Once again, your belief Musk abandoned his evil secret plot to permanently disable it the very moment Reuters reported on it, is perfectly understood.
I’m just unconvinced.
Every generation of religious fanatics, cult members and extremists need a wealthy person to look up to and justify their beliefs. Without this leader they have to face reality. Reality is complex, progress isn't a straight line, and most people will not be rewarded for having faith in a god, a get rich quick scheme, a wealthy influencer or a vision.
Twitter Users Report Errors, Disruption from New York to Tokyo
Twitter Users Report Errors, Disruption from New York to Tokyo
Twitter Inc. has restored services hours after thousands of users worldwide reported glitches and other issues, one of the more significant disruptions since Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover triggered the loss of three-quarters of its workforce.

That conniving, self-serving, arrogant and heartless Musk tried to secretly shut down Twitter this time but was caught by Bloomberg. Apparently service has been restored.

I find this hilarious.
One of the companies I am consulting for has a cage in the same data center Twitter is in. The state of affairs for their machinery in their cage is a mess, and that was prior to them announcing that they are shutting down that cage. By comparison, Google has a cage across the walkway from Twitter, and theirs looks clean. I almost feel sorry for Twitter.
Almost.
BL.
I know, right? It’s hilarious how he thought he could turn off Twitter without someone noticing. 😂
You've never been a data center, I take it. Their cage; their equipment there is an absolute mess. I've seen spider webs in the back country of southern Oklahoma that look more cleaned up and immaculate than the hardware they have in their cage. If given the state of their servers and hardware and gauging how long it would take them to clean up their cesspool of a mess and a silkworm spinning a yard of silk, I'd put my money on the silkworm.
BL.
And that voice in the sky told her to scoop up 22k shares of Tesla this week. We will see how that works out for her.
On the other hand, it was @ $110 on Tuesday when I mentioned its price is appealing. So far so good.
There is nothing appealing for TSLA at this P/E. Reality is setting in and in the last months many people who never paid attention before are now calling out the lies, hype and garbage quality of Musk's products. You may disagree with that assessment and history will prove you were lying to yourself.
Musk sold a religion, a religion that evolved into an extremist cult, and now he has to weave new myths about imaginary 'woke enemies' and 'the matrix' as he is exposed as a naked emperor.
Wood has been scooping up overvalued garbage for 2 years and has one of the worst performing ETFs, probably in the universe. Her price targets for all her investments are pie in sky. This is a delusional wreck of a person, but she will take her cut and her ETF investors are the ones who get to hold the bag.
I’m an entrepreneur who knows his strengths. The market is merely a recreational experiment.
This is literally one of the worst lines I ever hear from people who present themselves to me.
Another amazing day with Twitter Spaces!! Love Elon 💕 and communicating / debating with ALL sides on multiple issues! ❤️ Twitter!!!
Don’t know about that but since significant backend server architecture changes rolled out a couple days ago maybe he can get Jan-Pro to sweep up before their contract ends tomorrow.
jeez, I miss Elon already!
something frustrated just irked me Tuesday on teh twitters, so I announced I'd be back in February.
since all these flights are delayed and un-functional in North America,
no-one retorted with that "announcing ones departure" quote because no one is leaving or boarding!

It’s a never ending war between musk haters and musk lovers. Who will win? Who will prove to be most obsessed? The lovers or the haters? Time will tell! 😜
That's the way people talk about Trump, Marshall Applewhite, Andrew Tate, L Ron Hubbard, Alex Jones and David Icke.
It's really very unhealthy.
But...But..But.. Benghazi! Her Emails!
You don't want to go down this path.
But I digress; Meanwhile, Fidelity just slashed their value of Twitter by 56%. All that free speech and pwning, I suppose.
BL.
Haters tend toward being chronic complainers and they never win. They only acquire a new target to complain about.
Specifically speaking about Musk since I’m not invested in his failures or successes I neither hate or love him.
