The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

Oh, he’s backing an overtly neofascist party, who happen to be vocal climate change deniers.

Yes; we know he supports Republicans.

Hah.

Ironbite-can't wait to see this endorsement crash and burn.

I'm eagerly awaiting the day when people realize that the stocks in Musk's companies are highly overrated and the bulk of his wealth quickly evaporates because of it. Heck, Twitter may have finally hit the tipping point(I would have thought it would have happened a year ago, but looks like competition is finally stealing users away en masse). We shall see how long Tesla holds out. It's so overvalued it's insane. SpaceX is a harder one to crack. The Musk containment squad is still doing a decent job there keeping him in check, though I do think they are starting to falter.

And remember, his "net worth" is mostly the combined speculated value of his companies. As such, it—and his status as the world's wealthiest man—can instantly poof out of existence if people decide one or more of those companies is actually worthless.

And he's found his next target to purchase.

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia

Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

[KidTDragon]

That's as good an excuse as I can think of to donate to Wikipedia.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Musk has been trying to buy Wikipedia for a while now, because it's an open information source that he doesn't control. They keep telling him to go pound sand.

Even a lot of their "please donate" messages lately have started with "we're not for sale" and other similar means of tell him, and any possible others, to hug off as nicely as they can.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

If I create a platform that exists just to criticize Musk do you think we could trick him into buying it?

Wikipedia actually has enough money saved up to keep the lights on for like a decade or something like that; I have no earthly idea what the point of the huge obnoxious fundraising messages is since as a non-profit they're legally not allowed to do anything with their excess money BUT hoard it.

Like I said, a lot of them seem to be reminders that they can't be bought, but if you want to give them lots of money; they'll happily take donations.

That's not strictly true: non profits are required to use at least some of that capital to invest in itself. So, training, infrastructure, human capital, and the like.

Maybe if we tell musk that if he donates like a billion to wikipedia, he'll own it. He seems dumb enough to fall for that.
