    so @steve2^4 now that you might be sort of back, how have you been enjoying the twitter dumpster fire since elon took over? Never have I had my opposition to a product pay off in such an obvious manner. The only thing that could be better would be if faux news caused it's viewers crotch to melt, and that might be in the cards since Tucker started pitching testicle irradiation.

    I hope your time away was good, and let us mock the twits while their home is infested with elon toxicity.

    I better be careful before @Tuckerfan makes up a twitter account to mock me. Oh wait, he might be doing that right now. I better get to shaking in my boots at the wrath of welder man.

    Don't flatter yourself. You're not nearly as fun to mock as Dayton was.

    I would not have thought I would be. Dayton was on a supreme village idiot level of awesome fun to mock. I could never compete with that level of entertainment. You OTOH show some interesting potential. If you could only sustain these levels of entertainment for longer you could be a real competitor.

    I am just saying embrace your gifts because your insults are really piss poor and shameful. Even garamet and @Bailey give better more insightful insults than you. Dayton and FF have more sting.

    I am not really here for your insults, but your freakout is pretty fire.

    The world's richest man (or nearly so) can't afford $60 million/yr to protect users.

    Really, the only way this can get more pathetic is if we discover Elon Musk has ordered his engineers to write an algorithm that automatically feeds positive articles about him to every woman who rejected him in high school.

    Should we judge by friends or enemies?

    Or both?

    It is funny, but Isn't he basically doing that to the world right now? I don't even have twitter and I know about his dick ship and his tweeting. Musk has trolled his way into all of our lives. Even if you don't pay attention to him you could be killed by one of his cars, killed by one of his fans, or even killed when his poorly engineered space crap comes falling back down to earth. This idiot has spent billions to be the most dangerous dumbass on the planet. Now that Trump is not president anymore the only person who competes seems to be Putin and that is only because he thinks he can make nuclear war and despite his country's piss poor engineering he probably can kill us all if he orders a full on strike. Even if his bombs all fail MAD will finish us off.

    OMG Please let me watch as Elon Musk tries to loop his brain into the matrix to own us all as the new lawnmower man and ends up spending billions to fuck his shit up.

    I will totally forgive the universe for not giving me a pussy if I can get front row to see that brundlefly abomination.

    Or at least I hope his AI sex robot bites his dick off on livestream for all of us to see.

    There are so many awesome scenarios which is why I know there is a god who created a multiverse so we can all see each one of them if we like when we die.

    Musk doesn't put himself at physical risk with these things. His attitude seems to be that since he's lived such a charmed and implausible life he feels he might be the main character in a simulation.

    Oh, I'm sure it's coming. I have a trans flag in my username, I have no doubt that there will come a point where to keep it I'll have to subscribe to Twitter Blue, which I won't. I'm not giving insecure, incel loving shit for brains any money.

    Here's a thing that's now trending on Twitter #PutinGorillaSexTape.

    This is one of the results.

    Never thought I'd see something like that. Glad Elmo bought Twitter so I now have the image of some dude jerking off an elephant so Pootie-Poot can swim in a bucket of jizz. Christ, I'd get fucked up on all kinds of shit and watch John Waters movies, and never once did the idea that someone would want to bathe in elephant spooge ever cross my mind as a possibility.

    Elon whining about how complicated Twitter is reminds me of his buddy after the ObamaCare repeal failed:

    Honestly, you've got to be an absolute twat if you give any money to Twitter, ever. It works perfectly fine for free

    True, though there is an issue coming if Musk goes through with it (he has said he wants to do this): blue check paid Twitter users will be able to affect the algorithm when they block or mute someone. So say I, non-paying Twitter rube, make a blue check paying Twitter asshole annoyed by asking them questions like "why are you grabbing that child's ass in that photo?", they can block me, and it will cause the algorithm to start hiding my posts from others. The more blue checks block you or mute you, the fewer people can see your posts. Now, who mainly buys or is issued a Twitter blue check? People with notoriety or money, and who think that blue check makes them special. You can see where it goes from here.
