The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

That's STILL in violation of the archives act. They have to use the existing official channels and NOT a third party app where the users obviously cannot be trusted.

It feels more shell game than laundering, but I don't know enough about how it all works. Did he just fork over money in the bank when he bought Twitter? I don't even know how one gets ALL the stock of a publicly traded company. I guess there is some mechanism where a decision can be made that all stockholders have to sell? So then he was holding all the shares of Twitter. Did xAI (which is almost entirely owned by Musk) pay him cash for the shares so he got back out of it cashwise? Is he right where he started except with an extra billion and one of his holdings having a big debt?

Yeah, this smells hinky. How much of this was done because his core of Tesla stock keeps losing value? Does this insulate his Twitter purchase from issues related to his potential lost fortunes?

Also, they said in the announcement that these two companies are tightly related and another place in the article said AI companies are testing their AIs. I'm pretty sure X users are going to be chatting up chatbots and not knowing it.

You know, there's a quote about this, isn't there?

He went to CPAC waving around a chainsaw cause he's "cutting jobs" and jive.
Narcissistic bastard celebrating all the lives he was going to harm.

Shame really. I'd a paid a nice fee to watch him try to start a chainsaw without instructions. After you strip off the warning labels, of course.

Was it functional at all, or was someone smart enough to realize he shouldn't be trusted with a working tool before letting him on stage with it?

I don't think they'd take the time and effort to idiot proof something. The smaller, quieter part of the whole thing is that he bought a chainsaw, probably a really nice one, just to do a stunt on stage. A lot of redhats would've liked to have a chainsaw like that. A lot of the people he was firing would've liked to have a chainsaw like that. And he bought it just because it felt funny to him. Probably left it on a table backstage.

Related: I got to see a recap of that video this morning: it was a gas model cause you can see the pull start flopping around while the the drug overdose waiting to happen flailed around.
