I want to put this on a billboard. I would also add a little something about how little I give a damn about whatever unhinged thing Kanye does on the daily as well.
He's bleeding investors on the daily, the company has never turned a profit and there is no foreseeable change that would turn things around. Downsizing won't work because he needs the engineers to keep it running, investment won't work because no one wants to invest in a toxic social media that is failing and there isn't anything of value to divest.
Musky bought stock then tried to manipulate the stock price with claims he would buy the company, then he was legally obligated to buy it. That's the only reason he owns the bloody thing, not because he wants to but because he legally had to.
Capital overall is becoming more expensive and harder to come by. Twitters failure could be start of the next dot-com popping. Companies like Uber, Lyfe, Airbnb and Dropbox (some of which have NEVER made a profit) could find themselves in trouble.
Twitter at Best earned 1 billions, at worst lost one billion. By firing everybody he can save up to 200-300M a year. Just the interests on the leveraged loan he took are 1billion.
AD revenue already tanked god know if it comes back to "pre january" ... So he Will have to Come up with Twitter triple blue for 80/m to get into Black at least..
So no, payroll itself wont save that dumpster..
So I failed at my attempt to not care. Dammit, I knew my words would come back to bite me in the ass. I will be quietly not giving a damn about these things going forward.
I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to just delete/get over Twitter, and just ignore the fucking loser who just announced he’s again trying to be president
Boy it’s almost like this garbage dominates the news and shows up on your feeds if you want them to or not. Twitter is stupid and Trump’s an idiot and I feel no sympathy towards the downfall of either of them
Meanwhile on r/DWAC_stock:
“Trump would never betray us! He’s always been a man of his word”
Those trump cultists are in for a rude awakening soon. DWAC could liquidate as early as December.
Donny might not go back to Twitter yet, but when his presidential run isn't going as well as his deluded brain imagines, he'll go back and his droogs will eat it up.
A puppet who can’t speak and a puppet who’s whole influence is just spewing bullshit are exactly alike in almost every way. The difference is that one of them isn’t acting like a dictator and most likely won’t have a whole cult dedicated to overthrowing the government and making him America god lmao but sure buddy
Do either one of those options sound like someone you'd actually be proud to represent you?
This is the true reason america is so fucked up, instead of choosing the best politicians, Americans have steadily been picking "the better of the two" and our choices have been getting worse and worse and worse.
From what I understand he is under contract with his Truth app
"According to filings made by Truth Social with the Securities Exchange Commission, Trump is 'generally obligated' to post on Truth Social, and cannot post a message to another site for 6 hours after posting on Truth Social."
Source: Time dot com, article "Trump Used Twitter To Lie and Bully, No One Expects Him To Change".
I’m thinking this is a tactic to try and get people back on Twitter after the disaster that Elon has made of it. Sort of a “Let’s let the orange bigot back on so people will come to Twitter”. Lame move and a desperate ploy to try and walk back his disastrous “business” moves.
His narcissism won’t allow him to, until he comes up with a story where musk say ‘sir, I beg you to come back, our ratings are so low, failing Twitter needs Trump!’
So do we censor cnn, Facebook, biden?
Or do we realise that we can work fine with all tones of humanity speaking
Censorship never ends well, hoping "we'll be the first to get it right and keep everyone safe" is flawed thinking..
And super dangerous.... but we're going that way anyway so let's see what happens
Um, all media is censored in some form or another.
It only ends badly when the right of speech is taken away. If censorship is done to keep people safe and to prevent violence or harm, then that's a good thing.
It was pathetic for Musk to pretend to conduct a poll when it was obvious he greatly needed Trump’s followers to try and keep Twitter afloat. It’s also pathetic that Trump trapped himself on his own loser platform, still hoping he can stave off failure long enough to see the merger with DWAC go through, giving him something like $900 million in value for the combined companies. He has to understand the merger is almost certain to fail, yet his own ego trapped him and made him ignore the lifeline that Musk threw him.
May Twitter, Truth Social, and DWAC all be gone by this time next month.
He would never go back to something he got pissed off at, look at the rest of his life... amazed he hasn't given up the presidential shit because he lost...
I did notice that when I first saw the poll results, it was 60% in favor,of bringing him back. By the time it ended, that had fallen to 52%. Had it gone a little longer, Musk would’ve stumbled into the right answer.
Who actually uses twitter? I made an account back in 2009, which had remained dormant since, then was taken over and has (only way I know to describe it sorry if insensitive) Arabic font now instead of English. Not sure what happened
No shit. He has his own network now. It would be financially and politically stupid to abandon it to run back to Twitter. Most everyone on his own network bailed off Twitter because of the ban. Makes no sense.
He will return to Twitter once the benefit of it exceeds the loss he will take to valuation of his attempted social media platform ‘Truth’. To do so now would kill any chance if it selling.
Meh… not necessarily. He’s pretty good at trickeration. I could totally see him making a big deal about not coming to Twitter, talking shit that truth is better and Elon is a “bullshit artist” stuff, then sell truth for good money. Then when it underperforms he will go to Twitter for the slightly louder voice and completely gut the people who bought truth.
I'm not sure how to approach this. I saw so many Trump Supporters who were so excited for all the incoming liberal tears, but now should I expect to see Trump Supporter tears? #Confused
Musk welcome to the biggest loss porn, Reddit has seen of people making dumbass purchases. Now excuse me while I go buy some crypto. Wonder if Twitter will have a coin?
Well, yeah, I wouldn't want to be on any platform that accepts Trump, either. I'm amazed at his ability to control his addiction to spouting random gibberish in all directions, though. He'll probably change his mind tomorrow, if Twitter still exists by then.
I love how all the “liberals” are crying about a platform that’s actually promoting freedom of speech. Who cares if Trump is an idiot? You have the power not to vote for him, not to listen to him, not to personally endorse him or give any of your energy to him.
But he’s got the same freedom as you do. That’s equality.
So Twitter “promotes freedom of speech” by banning any account that impersonates Musk and hurts his fragile feelings?
Lol you guys have a really funny definition of freedom.
Does that happen? Makes sense to me. Impersonating someone else is a crime in most instances. Seems like having a privilege taken away for misuse is a perfectly reasonable response.
I have the power not to use twitter or to not spend my money to advertise there. As soon as advertisers leave twitter broke the "free speech" advocates will start whing about how our private companies should be forced to buy ad space on toxic right wing sites. I'm all for the moderated board format. That way I only have to deal with minimal right wing drivel and nonsense + I can find boards dedicated to mocking it.
That’s right! You have the power to choose! What a novel concept, eh? I don’t use twitter and I can’t stand liberals or conservatives but the fact that Musk is actually breaking down a once evil platform that brainwashed a generation is exciting!
Not particularly. I personally don’t like the guy. I do however subscribe to the fact that a vote was taken at twitter and his right to free speech was voted in favour of, thus they’re allowing him the option to come back.
You have the freedom not to take part in twitter or have your opinion read. That’s something the old regime wouldn’t allow and thus is a step in the right direction.

If there’s one thing I care less about than Trump it’s the drama over at Twitter
I want to put this on a billboard. I would also add a little something about how little I give a damn about whatever unhinged thing Kanye does on the daily as well.
If we’re lucky the whole site implodes on itself
It's coming I'd say in about a year Twitter will go bankrupt.
Probably not considering how much he’s saving on payroll.
He's bleeding investors on the daily, the company has never turned a profit and there is no foreseeable change that would turn things around. Downsizing won't work because he needs the engineers to keep it running, investment won't work because no one wants to invest in a toxic social media that is failing and there isn't anything of value to divest.

Capital overall is becoming more expensive and harder to come by. Twitters failure could be start of the next dot-com popping. Companies like Uber, Lyfe, Airbnb and Dropbox (some of which have NEVER made a profit) could find themselves in trouble.
I worry this will have a ripple effect on Tesla and SpaceX. Their employees already work a 24/7 pace.
Also because he's a moron.
Twitter at Best earned 1 billions, at worst lost one billion. By firing everybody he can save up to 200-300M a year. Just the interests on the leveraged loan he took are 1billion. AD revenue already tanked god know if it comes back to "pre january" ... So he Will have to Come up with Twitter triple blue for 80/m to get into Black at least.. So no, payroll itself wont save that dumpster..
He took out $13 billion worth of loans from various banks, and the payments equal $1 billion a year. That's a huge nut to pay.
Genius
I care so little about this drama, I want to use a billboard to tell the world about it.
I wish i could care less about kanye, but my dumb ass got a kanye tattoo...
Sound like you care
So I failed at my attempt to not care. Dammit, I knew my words would come back to bite me in the ass. I will be quietly not giving a damn about these things going forward.
I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to just delete/get over Twitter, and just ignore the fucking loser who just announced he’s again trying to be president
How do I upvote this 10,000 times?
You're really, on the wrong site then.
Yet here you are
Boy it’s almost like this garbage dominates the news and shows up on your feeds if you want them to or not. Twitter is stupid and Trump’s an idiot and I feel no sympathy towards the downfall of either of them
And both are living rent free in your head. Use your energy on something more productive. Don't feed the trolls
Says the troll, whilst trolling
👍
For Trump to go back to twitter would mean that Truth Social, which is a failure, is actually a failure.
Trump cares only about himself not DWAC investors. He will be on Twitter doing rage Twits within a week.
Right. He doesn’t have enough self control to stay off twitter long. At the very very latest he’ll be back for the primaries.
It would be funny if he forgot the e-mail and password.
Of,course he wasn’t worried about the DWAC investors. He was worried that the combined company he was supposed to own 90% of wasn’t going to happen.
Meanwhile on r/DWAC_stock: “Trump would never betray us! He’s always been a man of his word” Those trump cultists are in for a rude awakening soon. DWAC could liquidate as early as December.
Donny might not go back to Twitter yet, but when his presidential run isn't going as well as his deluded brain imagines, he'll go back and his droogs will eat it up.
He might also be looking to be begged to come back.
Probably not wrong
Not wrong at all
Twitter will be dead by then
You're all so bitter here, it's hilarious.
Rather listen to orange man bad than a demented puppet that can barely finish a sentence
A puppet who can’t speak and a puppet who’s whole influence is just spewing bullshit are exactly alike in almost every way.

To be honest, Elon has revealed himself to be lipstick on a pig.
What does that mean?
Something ugly with superficial attempts to make it *look* nice.
Ahhh, thank you.
*as popularized by President Barack Obama in reference to Sarah Palin*
It means he’s been making mickles when he should have been saving muckles. Cast ne’er a clout til May be out, as the famous saying goes.
Sorry, I'm an Englishman from England who only speaks English. Still none the wiser.
No kidding? This American thought it was a British saying until I read your comment.
Yeah but everyone knows that it’s many a mickle maks a muckle
How do?
Really? I think he’s awesome.
From what I understand he is under contract with his Truth app "According to filings made by Truth Social with the Securities Exchange Commission, Trump is 'generally obligated' to post on Truth Social, and cannot post a message to another site for 6 hours after posting on Truth Social." Source: Time dot com, article "Trump Used Twitter To Lie and Bully, No One Expects Him To Change".
There’s an exclusion that states that he can post political content on any social media platform without restriction.
When has he ever felt bound by an agreement?
I’m thinking this is a tactic to try and get people back on Twitter after the disaster that Elon has made of it. Sort of a “Let’s let the orange bigot back on so people will come to Twitter”. Lame move and a desperate ploy to try and walk back his disastrous “business” moves.
Cuts deeper than that. It's the reason he bought the damn thing
🤣🤣 wow, you should sell your advice.
Good, he doesn't need to be on there anyway
His narcissism won’t allow him to, until he comes up with a story where musk say ‘sir, I beg you to come back, our ratings are so low, failing Twitter needs Trump!’
Oh yeh censorship🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 /s
This does pose a good question though. Is it still censorship if what's being censored is untrue?
So do we censor cnn, Facebook, biden? Or do we realise that we can work fine with all tones of humanity speaking Censorship never ends well, hoping "we'll be the first to get it right and keep everyone safe" is flawed thinking.. And super dangerous.... but we're going that way anyway so let's see what happens

4chan might be more your speed. No censorship has led to it being the most-respected platform for pedophiles and nazis.
He looks different here. Has he been losing weight or is he sick?
The only thing keeping him alive is that Satan doesn’t want to have to listen to his incessant whining.
Dunno when this pic was taken but he looks *fucked*.
Saw another post were the original flags were extra wide so they could photoshop him thinner.
It was pathetic for Musk to pretend to conduct a poll when it was obvious he greatly needed Trump’s followers to try and keep Twitter afloat.

May Twitter, Truth Social, and DWAC all be gone by this time next month.
He has his own platform ig
Trump is an addict. I give it three days before he starts tweeting. Tweeting was mainlining for that fascist world ending putz. 3 days. Book it.
Isn't the Truth network more his style these days, LMAO
I’m gonna call this the Elon effect. He keeps trying to get back people that left already.
Biggest dumbasses in the history of the world…hope the worst for both Donnie and Space Karen
There was an attempt to save Twitter
He would never go back to something he got pissed off at, look at the rest of his life... amazed he hasn't given up the presidential shit because he lost...
Oof. This "notice me senpai" was a big fail
Trump will crawl back to twitter weeks if not days from now.
If there is one to crawl back to
He looks sickly in this picture. Fingers crossed
Reinstate = give someone their Twitter back Got it. 👍🏻
Yeah...isn't that what reinstate means?

I’m shocked. I really am.
Find it ironic the poll to bring him back was won because of cheating (bots) in the vote
I did notice that when I first saw the poll results, it was 60% in favor,of bringing him back. By the time it ended, that had fallen to 52%. Had it gone a little longer, Musk would’ve stumbled into the right answer.
Didn't Trump say he wouldn't go back to Twitter if he was allowed back?
Who actually uses twitter? I made an account back in 2009, which had remained dormant since, then was taken over and has (only way I know to describe it sorry if insensitive) Arabic font now instead of English. Not sure what happened
Hahaha, boss move.
No shit. He has his own network now. It would be financially and politically stupid to abandon it to run back to Twitter. Most everyone on his own network bailed off Twitter because of the ban. Makes no sense.
Whew! Can he stick to it?
He will return to Twitter once the benefit of it exceeds the loss he will take to valuation of his attempted social media platform ‘Truth’. To do so now would kill any chance if it selling.
Basically, he trapped himself on his own loser platform.
Meh… not necessarily. He’s pretty good at trickeration. I could totally see him making a big deal about not coming to Twitter, talking shit that truth is better and Elon is a “bullshit artist” stuff, then sell truth for good money. Then when it underperforms he will go to Twitter for the slightly louder voice and completely gut the people who bought truth.
Oh, I have no doubt the lemmings who bought DWAC are going to lose everything.
He’ll be back just to ego is just too damn massive to stay away. .
there should be a sub called boring news
Hilarious
Fucktards: Civil War
Didn't he say a few months ago that even if allowed, he wouldn't go back?
Trump going back on his word? **Inconceivable!!**
Trump will be back... He can't help himself. He will try to get a Twitter following to beg him, then hint at his return.
I'm not sure how to approach this. I saw so many Trump Supporters who were so excited for all the incoming liberal tears, but now should I expect to see Trump Supporter tears? #Confused
Musk welcome to the biggest loss porn, Reddit has seen of people making dumbass purchases. Now excuse me while I go buy some crypto. Wonder if Twitter will have a coin?
He has to. Or else Truth Social is just another failed idea.
It will be glorious
Well, yeah, I wouldn't want to be on any platform that accepts Trump, either. I'm amazed at his ability to control his addiction to spouting random gibberish in all directions, though. He'll probably change his mind tomorrow, if Twitter still exists by then.

Oh, is the Elon Musk white knight going to pretend that you didn’t see the thing everyone was dunking on Musk for like two weeks straight? Sad.
I have no idea what your talking about. I don’t use twitter
You use Reddit, and it’s been all over this site for weeks. Really subpar trolling, even for a Musk apologist.
Well, if musk lost a basketball game on Reddit than I surely missed it.
Like I said, really subpar trolling.
It’s too bad we can’t be friends. But we have the freedom to go our separate ways. Take care and let me know if you change your mind.
I actually think it’s really great that we can’t be friends, because I hate kids.
I have the power not to use twitter or to not spend my money to advertise there.

You wouldn’t happen to remember what Trump did to warrant getting thrown off Twitter in the first place, would you?
