If you’re anonymous or unknown, you’re a troll. 

If you’re the richest man in the world and owner of the website, you’re a megalomaniac.

Exhibit A. This is Exhibit B:

You’re also just a fucking idiot with way too big a megaphone.

OTOH, only people on Twitter are paying attention to this, and even in its heyday,Twitter never commanded the attention of a majority of the electorate in any city or state.

Most of the country doesn’t even care that Elmo bought Twitter, much less that he champions conspiracy theories on it. And the funniest part is, even the people that should be buying it, aren’t. Well, except for the Elonoi who will buy anything. But nobody’s sure the Elonoi are even registered to vote.

I mean, I’m not deep enough in the weeds to know what this means: 

wait, now he’s bashing @yoyoel? unbelievable pic.twitter.com/Ix4rWL48kJ

But I’m pretty sure it doesn’t mean jackshit. Apparently Yoel worked for Twitter, and just quit, and we who don’t work for Twitter are supposed to care because…?

It really is a riddle wrapped in an enigma surrounded by a mystery, the latter being: why does anybody care how stupid Elon Musk really is?

I mean, aside from the people who invested in Tesla, desperately hoping it is going to prove worth it.

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that Musk is doing "🔥" tweets in response to these old internal Twitter discussions (that he leaked?), about content moderation decisions, while not showing us *this week's* internal discussions that *he* was involved in over Kanye & others?

far left: rail workers deserve sick pay

elon: these are equally bad

are we just going to have elon claim every election he doesnt like the outcome of stolen by twitter now? https://t.co/IC7Etab4qP

He’s absolutely the only person who thinks so. This is a Twitter fight, and the only people concerned by it are Twitter fanatics.

Then again, Elmo has company:

In today’s quintessential ‘This is MAGA’ moment, James Woods is being lauded as a brave, patriotic hero because he is talking about suing the DNC because Twitter removed his post of a nude Hunter Biden pic. And they wonder why they continue to lose elections.

Stupidity loves company.
