There must have been half a dozen questions, with slight variation, on "but ok who's going to control Elon when he takes over!? Who will be in control!?"

Why don't these weak little faggots get together and try to "control" Elon. Then when he buys their shitty site for his pocket change and shuts it down, they can an hero.

I don’t have much commentary I just found it funny.

Also I still don’t know what a checkmark does.

Let’s everyone know you’re mentally challenged

someone would have made the suggestion/change eventually; the original 140 character limit was to be in-line with SMS protocols, and wasn't raised to 280 characters until 2017ish. As the technology and user habits advance, so does the service, presumably.

With much larger messages, policing DMCA claims would become multiplicatively more difficult. After all, if you can paste the whole article in in a few parts, it's pretty easy just to do the whole thing. They'd almost certainly end up in litigation.

Looks like more people will need an urgent therapy since Musk own Twitter and the latest case are the folks of the Los Angeles Times from what I read from "Paul Kersey". https://www.unz.com/sbpdl/ad-astra-...ch-to-twitter-means-the-end-of-black-twitter/

It's not remotely the end of Black twitter. Blacks will not be banned from tweeting. They will continue acting as they usually do on Twitter: calling each other ugly and doing Epic Sick Ownz on one another's dead or long-absent family members.

 

[The Ugly One]

They’ve got the best chance of delivering the highest number of cars, because they’ve heavily invested in battery production. That’s all there is to it, everyone else is going to be supply constrained for the next 5 years or so.

Disclaimer: I do drive a Tesla (best car ever and best charging network hands down), and I fucking hate Elon Musk.

Tesla's BEV market share has been declining YoY as everyone else, particularly VW AG, ramps up. VW has been nearly doubling their BEV output every year. They made 263K BEVs in 2021, and they just delivered 99K in Q1 2022.

Tesla's stock price is largely riding high on the fumes of vaporware announcements. By now, Tesla was supposed to have created a self-driving system better than any human driver, put millions of autonomous taxis on the road, led the nation in solar installations, have put battery swap stations all across America, built the most powerful supercomputer in the world, put together a prototype of the world's first humanoid personal assistant robot, schooled Toyota on lean manufacturing, and additionally have delivered Roadster 2, Semi, Cybertruck, and Cyberquad.

If you expected Tesla to fail to deliver on its promises, you were right. If you shorted them based on that, you lost your shirt.

As others pointed out it just shows you are who you claim to be. Though i do remember the guys at giant bomb talking about this once, not sure its changed now, but being verified also got your account some new features that non-verified have been asking for. Want to say things like filtering replies.

I still wonder if he got fucked on some government contract offer before he decided to buy Twitter or something. Seems like a real direct shot at various people(s) and Musk isn't really an overtly political guy.

I seriously doubt he did this out of profit motive, because Twitter has not only never turned a profit but shows no signs of ever being profitable. I'm pretty sure he knew this would have some impact on Tesla too. I think he did it for the lulz and just to have it.

I know that laughing at checkmarks on twitter losing their minds over bullshit that won't make a difference is funny but if you unironically think a billionaire is anywhere near on your side in a fight for free speech or that he cares about anything other than curating a persona of a genius based inventor for redditors you are genuinely retarded

I don't know, when one side actively and explicitly says they want to kill or reeducate me, and acts accordingly, and the other side is a billionaire asshole going around doing billionaire asshole things, I'll side with the guy not actively trying to wreck all society.

>Twitter overstated the number of daily users on its service for three years straight, overcounting by up to 1.9 million users each quarter.

Damn that sucks so much I just accidentally lied to my investors. Ugh this suuuuucks.
Heads are gonna roll in court when more shit gets revealed.

Can Elon sue for some type of rebate if the stock was artificially inflated with fake numbers?

Why sue when he can just lower the offer to "match" the actual value?

I remember when Tumblr ban nsfw that all the leftists went to Twitter i think the same thing is going to happen here

Right, but they’re playing catch-up. Tesla are at 100k/month and have the capacity to keep delivering.

If you expected Tesla to fail to deliver on its promises, you were right. If you shorted them based on that, you lost your shirt.

This is true.

Elon picked up where Orange Man left off.

Any shareholder who held stock during the relevant period the user number was mis-stated can sue in theory claiming they were mislead by Twitter's filings. It would be more likely consolidated into a class-action where the lawyers keep all the money though.

The replies can be summed up as "ackutually" with cherry picked sources that show a couple of lines that don't actually mean anything.

Here’s the thing, where can they really go? Per the few bits of the shambling corpse of Tumblr I’ve seen, they’e quote “Just gotten the site comfortable for normies”, I doubt they want to let the cancer back in, and might hilariously enough Gatekeep the shit out of any Twatter refugees.

Facebook is mostly Boomers and people like me who use it almost entirely for meme pages and groups, plus the random hate on these people apparently have for the Zucc. Tiktok and Youtube require effort - not much, but some, and are probably dead ends for the ugly ones…

Welp, RIP Discord and Reddit. You were both already shit, your both about to get a LOT worse…

And no need to guess they want touch Gab and Gettr with a 10 feet pole, lol Besides, MySpace as well as ICQ still exist and is it a miracle then they're still alive?

Problem is if you at all the numbers the "error" is only about 0.5% of their claimed users. That doesn't sound "material" to me, although if Musk wanted to decrease what he's offering this is the sort of ammo that gets used for that. The non-disparagement agreement for the purchase probably limits for now how miserable it'll make their lives. As it is, the board can pretty well assume they're all going to lose their cushy positions on it, we've been hearing they own almost no stock in Twitter and get paid mid-six figures to be on it.

Perhaps something bigger will come to light in the due diligence review I assume is already in progress. For the moment this is small potatoes, and probably also that compared to their "burning the evidence" phase of reducing how much thumb pressure they're using to tilt the platform hard to the Left.

Half a percent of three hundred and fifty million is still almost two million.

I think they most likely go to Reddit because that site is already left wing but if they go there its going to be even more left wing then it was before
