Buying Twitter made Musk "king of the sandbox," allowing him to promote free speech, but not at the cost of his own ego.
  • Elon Musk purchased shares of Twitter after unsuccessfully petitioning the CEO to remove a Twitter account tracking his private jet.
  • Musk’s personal gripes played a key role in his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter.
  • Musk banned the account after promising not to, highlighting his prioritization of getting his way over free speech.

    Just fucking stop.

    Elon Musk was forced to buy Twitter after doing several incredibly stupid things publicly.

    Quit assisting this fascist dumbass in his attempt at laundering his reputation.

      I don’t see how claiming he bought Twitter to try and shut up a teenager does anyting to help his reputation.

          Anyone who thinks spending 44 billion dollars on shutting up a teenager constitutes a “genius plan” is already fully on-board the Musk cult. I don’t think there’s really much reinforcement happening.

          I agree we shouldn’t pretend he’s anything less than a dumb asshole who got caught with his pants down.

          I dunno man. A teenager baiting a billionaire into spending a significant amount of his fortune to shut him up sounds like the most successful troll in history to me.
