Suggested that Mark Cuban is wanting to buy Fox News and X.

Hope it’s true.

He might want to increase his net worth by an order of magnitude.

He almost lost his security clearance at Space X for smoking a blunt on a podcast, not sure how he still has it after the anti-government and conspiracy rubbish he posts.

Genuine question.
Is it not just a hotbed of terrorist grooming?

Elon bought a busy space
Soon it became an empty place

Advertisers left in despair
Childish hedonism without care

Maybe Twitter’s not so bad
To its return many will be glad

Another crappy poem, but like Elon I have shown mastery in the ab ab rhyming scheme

He doesn’t want any ads, it almost like a non profit business now.

musk paid 44 billion do you think it’s lost 10 x value since then. Maybe but it’s his plaything he won’t sell it to Cuban for 4.5bn

It’s worth was never 44 billion. That was paying about 10 times over to start with imo.

And it is worth less now than when it was bought.

Also I remember him trying, but failing, to back out of the deal he’d let his mouth sign.

Will he sell it though. Not a chance imo.

doesn’t want ads but is suing the advertisers that left the platform to force them to come back and advertise with the platform

It’s circling the drain.

You can’t believe anything that’s posted on it.
The place is flooded with bots, so you can’t believe any comment is genuine.
The algorithms push you a certain way no matter what your preferences are (although it’s not the only social media thingy that does this).
And the people who are…actual people…are routinely awful.

Oh, and it’s run by an immature edge-lord who thinks every thought he has is clever and funny and that would be fine, but he won’t shut up.

Users and advertisers have voted with their feet, and I don’t see any of the things that drove them away changing.

It’ll hang around, just getting less and less relevant.

No wonder he needed the $84bn salary package the Tesla board gave him.

Masterful gambit sir.

They do say it’s mean wish harm or even death, preferably painful and torturous, on others, but for Trump, Musk and the MAGA “elite”, I say bullshit.

And he posts 150 times a day and the fkg recommendation algorithm basically crawls out of your phone and shoves his tweets physically inside your eyeballs in its determination to make sure you see them.

Doesn’t this guy have an electric car company to run or something?

You don’t just block him?

I thought I read that he was unblockable.
However, pretty sure that was said on Xitter, so completely unreliable.

My twitter is good.

My block list is long.

Sounds like the opening of a Marines-style refrain.
