Pretty sure that if he can buy twitter, build a space internet company etc that he can make an App Store. I didn’t know I needed this but the memes are better than the great triggering. (Inauguration 2017)

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Now he's putting the lives of twitter execs at risk

Well, the Post is simply outing White Racist Hate Speech lovers.

What, he's not white?

Doesn't matter, he's a White Racist Hate Speech lover.

I am told this morning that Apple and Google will remove Twitter from the App Store if it does not moderate and remove hate speech under @ElonMusk.

So what? Musk can make it available for download most anywhere he wants. Sure, there are a couple of extra steps if you're not using Play or Store, depending on your settings, but big deal.

I'm thinking this "hostage" crap that was pulled on Parler is no longer going to happen. You have Rumble guaranteeing service for these sites now, and I wouldn't be surprised if Musk makes an instant workaround if Apple and Google do this, to the detriment of them both. Big tech is no longer calling the shots, I think.

Related, I see that there are a ton of articles out now listing "all" the alternatives to twitter. Parler and Truth are not listed in the "all". Of all the sites they do list, the only one I've heard of is mastadon, and only because it has been in the news for the past few days listed as a "safe space".

Herrrre's Everything is about race Joy Reid

Quote
MSNBC host Joy Reid came up with an insane theory to explain why billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk decided to buy Twitter.

During her show on Tuesday, Reid claimed Musk bought Twitter because he yearns for the days of apartheid South Africa.

"They don't want to just be in the club. They are on the — they've been described as being on the outside of the culture looking in through the glass, but they don't just want to come in. They want to come in and be able to punch people in the face and walk around and laugh about it and to not have anyone be able to stop them. The thing is, the enjoyment they get out of being in this 'town square' is being able to harass people, being able to attack people," Reid said.

@Dataracer117
Twitters Saftey executive Vijaya Gadde sent these 3 tweets to the journalist herself to smear Elon Musk.

They were all screen captured within 1 min of being posted, at a similar time, on 3 different posts. None by Elon Musk.

Kinda sloppy on this hit job.

That was first announced maybe two days ago? I thought I read it on Fox, but it may have been somewhere else, and it apparently wasn't at the behest of Elon Musk, it was Twitter's current management who did it, apparently.

I just hope he doesn't pull a Trump and hang on to all the old guard in Twitter's staff.

I suspect Trump's lack of instant swamp-draining was unwise, although I defended it back then. Silly me.

Single biggest mistake Trump made was not immediately firing everyone he was legally/constitutionally entitled to purge.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/elon-musk-teases-buying-more-companies-including-coca-cola-to-add-back-the-cocaine

Quote
"Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in," Musk quipped in a late-night tweet Wednesday.

...

Billy Markus, the co-creator of Dogecoin who uses the Twitter name "Shibetoshi Nakamoto" (a reference to Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used by the inventors of Bitcoin), asked Musk, "can you buy fox I want another season of ‘firefly’." "Firefly" (2002-2003) became a cult classic, despite getting canceled after only one season.

"Some sci-fi that actually features sci-fi would be great," Musk replied.

You just have to plug them in overnight every 300-400 shots or so.
But on the bright side they will auto shoot.

My favorite fake (at least I think it's a fake) Musk tweet so far:
