Excellent! This is going to be fun.

People with a raw sense of humour against a man with none.

This should be good. I hope their lawyer shows up in court with a deck of cards...

And I hate to say this, but I think we're getting perilously close to having to stop linking tweets but taking screenshots.

I dont know about the rest of you, but I've been seeing tweets 'vanish' at a pretty alarming rate.

ORRRRR...

...just stop linking to POS Xitter?

I mean I know it's a conduit of current information especially in regards to pro sports. But honestly - using it supports Trump.

Eyeballs and clicks mean it just gets to keep going. It needs to die.

It's evil.

I wish the hockey media people would go to BlueSky/Threads or somewhere else, but every time I try to find any of them, they're nowhere to be found.

I’m still hoping Mark Cuban buys Twitter. Maybe once is drops to 10% of what Musk paid.

I can't imagine Musk selling. First of all it's an ego project at this point. It's also lost so much value now, selling it just for funds doesn't seem like it would make much difference. In for a penny and all.

Plus the tax benefits of a bankruptcy are probably higher than selling it for a huge loss. He'll keep using it to try and advance his interests and when it runs out of cash he'll just shut it down.

If it’s sold, where does Musk stand as far as proceeds? He’s probably very low on the list of who gets paid out.

He's been using it to siphon money and resources from Tesla, and Tesla is using X.ai for services. It'll be restringing to see how long before shareholders catch on and start caring.

He's not gonna sell X. It gives the guy his own platform to act like the "God" he thinks he is, by influencing elections and controlling world politics, all the while satisfying his mid life crisis need to act like a pre-pubescent teen with all the stupid memes he posts.

Historically I've been one of the bigger advocates for Twitter's (never X) continued utility. However, I've realized that I haven't been on the platform more than 2 or 3 times in the last few weeks.
