Reply to comment by TheBostonPops in Ad giant IPG advises brands to pause Twitter spending after Musk takeover by mbmba

That last part can't be understated. His absurdly large ego caused his mouth to write a check he never actually wanted cashed because of course Twitter isn't worth 44 fkn billion dollars.

What if this is just 5D chess move in Elon helping fix income inequality by dumping 44b of his own dollars into the trash

Yeah no there are far better ways to do that than buy Twitter

It was an obvious joke… the whole “5D chess” is a meme.

Unless you count income inequality in Saudi Arabia because that's where most of Musk got his money from.

Depressing reality check for everyone.

Will this grand scheme really work? That part I don't know, but he never bought it to make money.

I'm even more confused after just reading that. Of fucking course the billionaire elites are part of some weird ass Mars cult that steals blankets from the poors of today to make sure the poors of tomorrow can vote from space with an app. I swear, truth is stranger than fiction. I'd post this in Conspiracy but all I'd get in reply is "Nuh-uh, you!."

There's nothing conspiracy theorists hate more then actual conspiracies. They aren't as fun and the bad guys tend to be people the conspiracy theorists like.

There aren't too many people I hate more than Steve Bannon, but I laughed out loud when he said the elite tech bros are "man children" and their companies should be nationalized.
