I'm agreeing with an accountant far too much for my own health today. But Locke is absolutely on the money here.

AFC, i think Elon only freaked out because the narrative around the purchase changed. What matters more than ANYTHING to elon is his public image- to a specific subset of people, his followers. This is also why he became so interested in Trump, they are exploiting the exact same strategy and only care about the same thing.
Anyways, he changed his tune and tried to pull out of the deal only after the public narrative on the internet shifted to "haha elon is getting bent over". Then it became no more fun for him as he lost this aura of supervillain power. The guy thinks he's a bond villain but he's actually Dr. Evil

I think we can all agree on this, I also think he just plain doesnt like twitter, on a basic level he doesnt really want it to be any good

Everyone jumping in the life boat Musk provided. I guess we'll see just how lean Twitter can run.
Probably too lean already. Mind you, this is three days old which is an eternity in the Twitter unraveling timeline.

Sounds like it may have been at the request of an advertiser?

He didn't even keep Twitter alive long enough to do a crypto pump and dump.

This guy needs to let us know what it feels like to literally tell Elon Musk to go #### himself.

Today, Elon tweeted that "Twitter is like open sourcing the news".

I mean, what else does Phony Stark have to lose? Put the source code on GitHub, you coward.

I think he's fired everyone who knows where it is.

I’d be shocked if he doesn’t already.

I'm very concerned that Twitter will die and Yoho will have to create his own posts!!!
