Yea they do that. You buy a block of time.

Still Musk says many things.

Elon Musk RAN my DOG over with a lawnmower and FUCKED my car without consent, and a no-name engineer who was fired for cause two years ago is going to bring the END OF MUSK, this interview with them PROVES IT. The FBI is also about to send the HOSTAGE RESCUE TEAM to Musk's house and send him permanently to ADX Florence after Biden PERSONALLY BRANDS A SWASTIKA IN HIS ANTI-SEMITIC FOREHEAD right after executing Trump for his part in the Battle of Gettysburg! If you disagree you're a closeted HOMO who wants to see Hunter Biden's DICK


I get that people hate Elon Musk but there's literally boo-hiss "I must demonstrate that I REALLY HATE MUSK" behavior in here that almost invokes Poe's law. inb4 the "of course you like him GWO you Fascist goober," no, I never really gave Musk much thought, and I think social media in general is terrible for mental health and also is the feeder of the insidious big data industry.

Or, you know, there is legitimate criticism of the man and what he does and the people who are criticising him aren’t motivated by blind hatred of the man.

When government decides to make your life hell its very easy for them to do so.

We keep beds in storage so if we need folks to work multiple 16 hour shifts in an emergency, the workers can get their rest and not waste their time commuting.

Although I do see ads a bit less often, ads from big brands like Apple still appear on my end.

I wonder if he discounted the rate or they just came back. They are private now, we will never know.

He’s been offering discounts allegedly.

I don’t think many of them were that serious about it TBH. Amazon supposedly never stopped. I can also see why many of them secretly want him to succeed with his workforce reduction plan.

Less likely now that he fired the CISO.

But you would think twitters internals would be a prime target.

That goes without saying. And let's face it, the capricious Europoid South African has significantly weakened Twitter with his egotistical antics.

Probably a violation of user privacy to let three randos have total access to anyone's account, including their DMs.
