    Apple spent ~100 M per year on adds on twitter prior to the EM buyout.

    There is no way in hell these grifters will do anything but talk big. The money will never come.

    I’ll take “Things That Aren’t Financially Possible”, for $400, Alex.

      This reminds me of those statistics that show the how the richest 10% have as much wealth as the other 90% (or whatever the exact numbers were).

      And also those statistics that show how Apple is bigger than the entire economies of many countries.

    Elon finally found his people. The MAGA poverty level white Christian who hates everything that gives them that rush of energy, because their life otherwise barely has a pulse.

    Oh wow Andrew Tate is one of them.

    Gee, when you look at all these manbaby assholes who cry about being canceled, one thing starts to stand out. They’re all manbaby assholes. Maybe if every canceled person is a manbaby asshole, then getting cancelled is actually about not liking manbaby assholes? And not about killing freedom of speech? It’s just… the pattern is undeniable.

    As much as I would LOVE to see them waste their money on this, we know they are all talk and no action and won’t actually contribute anything.

      That’s the best part, they’re all grifters trying to get attention, they won’t pay a fucking cent.

    This is actually a good thing! Let them all bundle up together and maybe they can fund and start his little society on mars and he can take all the right wing cunts with him. Then they can go cry about women and minorities together without bothering the rest of us.

        Oh you must be new. There’s always an “in group” and an “out group”. If somehow everyone is in the “in group” the rules change to create a new “out group”.

            Happens all the time. Recently Republicans were calling the speaker of the house “secretly a democrat” because he acknowledged that his adopted black son has difficulties his white sons won’t have to deal with.

    Got it. Tim Pool, Andrew Tate and the CEO of Babylon Bee are all antisemites who believe Jews are going to wipe them out.

    Not that I’m surprised, I’m just glad we have it on record.

    My only question is do we pronounce the “x” in xitter like “x” would be pronounced in a Chinese word? “Sh-itter”?
