      He’s a stunted 8 year old who associates X with edginess. X factor. X Men. X Ray. X rated films. XXX. All super fucking cool

        He originally wanted “Model 3” to be called “Model E” so that the three (at the time) Tesla models could spell out “SEX”. Fortunately that name was already taken. He’s a petulant child.

          I’ll admit, BACK THEN, I thought it was funny and was sad E was taken. But yeah perspective changes when you realize how much worse he is/was/will be.

        Also, he’s an unoriginal dipshit. All he’s good at is buying things and slapping his name on 'em, he’s never had an idea of his own.

      X.com is his product he owned, that is loosely associated with PayPal’s success despite it having nothing to do with the tech that it was merged for.

      By “absorbing” twitter with his original X company that is older than twitter, he can pretend to be the founder of the parent company X, like he pretends to be the founder of Tesla.

        In this case, the exact spot where Musk"s transformation from supposed tech genius to batshit crazy bigot was completed.

            Him and his Minecraft looking head were at least half fooling some people until his more recent shenanigans though!

              Realizing Elon Musk is a dipshit is something where the two best times to realize that it is true are 1998, and now

                Is it wrong that I want him to so ruin Twitter than when / if I get moderately rich, I can buy it for a couple of million, Tumblr style and shut it down?
