Elon deserves his own thread
Seems Elon he has had a little win with X
"Value of Elon Musk’s X ‘rebounds to $44bn purchase price’"

Kind of strange as only last year they were reporting it to be worth only 10 billion?.
So if he overpaid for it in the first place, does that mean he has increased it's value?
In other twitter news, turns out Ewrong didn't kick the Dropkick Murphys off.
"We broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi. Someone else, unaffiliated with the band, later took band's X handle and pretended to be "our official account," Casey said.
"So we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to that—which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended," Casey said. "Look, we pulled our account because we didn’t want to be part of that guy’s empire. But if we were still on there, I’m sure he would have suspended us by now.”
As much as I was into the idea of Elon having a shit fit and booting, or dropkicking if you will, the band off twatter, I'm also good with this revelation.
However, he of the laminated face*, has suspended a bunch of accounts, including impersonators he doesn't like, journalists he doesn't like, and, get this, anti-fascist accounts he doesn't like. No surprises there.

Elon, March 2025: “Tesla is a peaceful company. We’ve never done anything harmful. I’ve never done anything harmful. I’ve only done productive things. So I think we just have a deranged — there’s some kind of mental illness thing going on here, because this doesn’t make any sense.”
He really doesn’t look well when he says this stuff.
I cant imagine the stress he would be under, just all the businesses and project's he has going and then all the other shit and countless X post a day (so they say) not to mention the real threat to his life by nutters.
I feel for him, but i have to agree he has also brought a lot of it on himself, he should be my controlled and less opinionated and just more tactful socially.
I think Musk is a great example of someone that can be extremely smart in one way, but then just kind of stupid in another.
