The ongoing X and Elon Musk Transgressions Thread

He decided to disgustingly attack the poster who announced that he had to step away from his dream job due to respiratory issues, claiming that he was just abusing the system to get paid not to work as liberals do. It broke my heart to read, what a horrible human being.

I really appreciate the kind words, to you and others that have talked about it, and the numerous pm's in the last few weeks. It means a lot. But I still say that his post right before all that was even worse though. A CP member talks about going to fight in Ukraine in the spring, and all yoho can do is make a 'dur you're probably going to die' post in response to that. Absolutely disgusting behavior. I hate to bring that jackass up again, think he belongs firmly in CP's past, but I'm just seeing this convo now

I joined this forum young (11 years ago, and I'm 31 now) so I know there are a lot of posters that think of me as a young rambling jackass, so it's been humbling to see the support I've received over this whole thing. Thanks guys

Anyone else's Twitter not loading properly? It's been acting funny all night

[TheScorpion]

Yeah Twitter is super broken right now. Been like this for about an hour.

[KelVarnsen]

Musk has been threatening this for years and I do think he knows that that would mean

[Fuzz]

I guess after telling all the advertisers to go #### themselves, he's gotta try to make some money somehow, before the money people come knockin'. Which I'm actually kinda surprised they haven't yet.

This guy man...this guy...

Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, there is probably an amount Twitter could pay me monthly that would get me to start using it.

A couple years ago i read an article that was essentially how much money we consumers are missing out on by using "free" social media given the amount of data that is collected and sold about us.

Your joke is actually sensical.

someone could easily make a social media site that pays the users a portion of the profit they make from selling their own data.

If you don't pay for it and you aren't being paid for it you're the product being sold.

What is the record for largest loss on a purchase?

Twitter for android for me is complete borked. Most days I am getting an error saying cannot retrieve tweets and no new tweets will load. Uninstalled and re-installed the app which didn't help. Last night when I opened twitter I got a message asking how my experience is using the app and I put one star and put a screen shot of the error in the email and the email bounced back saying the email address cannot be found. Nice website Elon.

[Jason14h]

Elon's greatest gift to humanity won't be the electric car, or space travel, or satellite internet, it will be killing Twitter

If only he could partner with Zuck on a business venture
