    Howzabout we all send Elon an e-mail saying that we are a Nigerian prince, and that if he sends us all his remaining money, he’ll get it back tenfold?

    Do I detect a decimal point on that tote board? Tsk tsk, Pig, you’ll never make an evangelist. Why, they don’t even need to track anything in the "1"s place, let alone fractional bucks. “How much do you love the Lord, sucker, I mean believer? A measly dollar’s worth? Two dollars? Whatsoever you give today you’ll get back ten times over in heaven, so dig deep, my chumps I mean champs, and don’t insult your Heavenly Father with dirt-common pictures of Washington and Lincoln.”

    As a Tesla investor I feel the one thing wrong with it is Musk. Not in a political sense but rather that his inexplicable turn to twitter is unnecessary and detrimental. He should focus on Tesla.

    He spent $44 billion on a company run by deranged/wicked/both people and gets to reveal information that embarrasses and enrages other wicked people. What fun. It’s a bit steep for me, but he considered it a bargain. “Everybody needs a hobby.”

    It’s a bit of a fixer-upper, but when he’s done, he may end up with a company that’s worth more than what he paid for it. If so, he’s got a hobby that paid for itself. Nice.

    When I hear that someone paid 44 billion dollars to buy a company that didn’t make money, I think “financial genius.”

    I’m very glad our government is getting rid of tick tock. It’s sponsored by a communist government that wants to over throw all free governments and free countries by poisoning the minds of its followers.

    Poor Elon, even his Tesla stock has taken a hit and he’s no longer the world’s richest man. Bernard Arnault is.

    But he still is the world’s most obnoxious twit (er)!

    Come now, people. It’s a sad case indeed when you, virtually overnight, become no longer the world’s richest, the title now held by Bernard (Louis Vuitton) Arnault.

    Elon has huge profits from sales of Tesla stock, so he needs to lose $44b to offset the gains on Sched D. It’s just taxes, folks.

    Elon spent 44 billion to turn Twitter into another 4 chan or Truth Social, where guys like Wasa can spew their bile until they weary of their own ignorance. Meanwhile decent people will flee the increasingly toxic platform and there will be one less venue for civil discourse and information.
