This shareholder says “Bye!” and I’ll buy more when the market is done panicking over his departure.

Fuck votes. Let them buy their way out. Once a fair value for the property, infrastructure, and future revenue is determined that value becomes the baseline for negotiations and the auction can begin. Oregon loses some freeloaders, gains a windfall, and becomes even more blue.

If you’ve read “Six Days of War” then this will feel familiar. During that conflict Israel was worried that international outcry would require them to stop making territorial gains so they did all they could as fast as they could to lay claim before that bell rang.

When googling something, append -site:reddit.com

You have to read to the last paragraph to confirm what you already knew: he’s a republican.

Jagged Little Pill is the first album that comes to mind for this question, but if I’m honest I’d skip the track “Perfect”.

Well stated. I think a lot of corporate action nowadays, especially with any industry connected to the internet, is based on similar logic. “How can we squeeze maximum (profit/market share/growth)? If we go too far, we can always undo it thanks to the internet.”

I wonder how long it’ll be until BMW reintroduces the Heated Seats subscription, or GM changes their legalese to allow them to sell your driving data to 3rd party companies? Those corporate moneygrabs were rolled back due to consumer outrage recently but they’ll probably be back in some form in the next five years.

from Florida - didn’t he even move his “home state” status there officially a couple years back?

He did. Probably for tax purposes. As a native, I would like the states to the north to quit sending us your racist grandparents!

I keep telling myself “I want an x-box” and the news keeps telling me “no you fucking don’t”.

It could balance the budget.

This is an easy test. If Reuters is lying, that means the Model 2 is still in development. Prove that Reuters is lying, Elon. you are uniquely positioned to be able to do that.

“There, we dealt with it. Can we pretend it didn’t happen and we’re the victims again? Surely further criticism of something we’ve resolved would be antisemitic.”

Each one of Trump’s business partners thinks “I’m not gonna get screwed by this guy!” and in the end each one of them does.

…and you are shit-canning someone else’s input because they don’t know everything based on your even more limited experience, suspect knowledge, and a heavily biased opinion of how you think the world should work. Lay out your superior knowledge or admit you’re just spewing a party line for the upvotes because it sure sounds like they know a hell of a lot more about the subject than you do.

Trump is a meta-generator; there are articles critical of the articles critical of his coverage. Anyone could sell ads under a Trump tweet. How many real people joined Truth Social just to follow Trump, and more just to be able to see what the orange bastard spewed? There’s a reason pre-Musk Twitter bent over backwards to keep the shit-flinging orangutan on their platform.

If Musk does nothing, Twitter dies in a slow spiral. He has to do something. What better way than to get a guy who people can’t stop paying attention to, a frontrunner in an election season? The man gets clicks. If he’s already dropped $44B on Twitter, what’s another billion or two to save its life while simultaneously propping up his political choice, triggering the libs, and writing the loss off of his taxes?

I need someone to tell me why Musk won’t be a huge buyer of DWAC when it opens. How much of Truth Social would he need to get it merged with Twitter, which would get Trump back on the platform. Musk gets to help out the psycho conservative right and he gets to help himself.

Not sharing the driving behavior… for now. Any faucet that can be turned off can be turned on again.

I wonder how the GOP has any toes left after shooting themselves in the foot so often.

I need a firefox plugin that blocks Twitter. Not tweets from blue checkmarks, the whole damn site.

I still remember Netanyahu bitching about Obama in front of the US Congress. He’ll call anyone on their bullshit but doesn’t like it when he’s called on his.
