“Eat ze bugs, Elon!”
agreed ... Alex B. has been super spot on with Covid. Zero medical background and "ex-NYT journalist" as main credential.

Linette Lopez was suspended about an hour ago. (TSLA reporter for Business Insider)
This looks like a Twitter reply, but it's actually a TSLA reply. Everything connects as illustrated below.
We need to break this down:
How quickly can Elon make the Bird profitable
Not -anytime- soon. advertisers was fleeing before Elon was involved. When there is a downturn in spending and the economy, advertising is one of the first things to stop.
Elon is actively disincentivizing current or prospective advertisers to spend money with his "tweet contributions". Advertisers want ROI, not to join culture wars. Regardless of your agreement/disagreement with Elon's political views this is an objective truth.
Elon wants to offend the far left and the far right equally - when in reality you should pull out the trick of SELLING TO BOTH. SNL "Dogefather" Elon was selling Tesla's to both parties.
go public with it again
Elon will never take Twitter public. Shorts will destroy it. Elon prefers his companies be private. He 100% does not want a daily reminder of how money Twitter is losing on the financial channels.
then put all his money back into Tesla?
Unfortunately, Twitter is a permanent tax and liability on Tesla for the far foreseeable future. Elon (and ours) only hope is TSLA can grow fast enough to absorb the millstone around its neck.
Napkin math makes me think Elon will need to sell around 6 billion a year in TSLA just for Twitter. Payments on debt, daily operation and taxes on proceeds from selling.
We wake up this morning in a shattered country. We sift through the wreckage in a state of shock. We are traumatized and broken. We still cannot comprehend the horrors we witnessed last night. A few libs were temporarily suspended on Twitter. Nothing will ever be the same again.

LOL - Bari is ignoring her.
(BTW, Bari spent a lot of time trying to get pro-Palestinian professors silenced).

Sounds like a classic case of doxxing and assassination risk.
Best to just go ahead and ban her.

Sure. Abject hypocrisy from the second richest man in the world who dropped $44B to bring absolute free speech to social media should be ignored.
The pro-Elon posts here seem to be thinning out as his childish antics, his overt politicization of Twitter, and his hypocrisy escalate. If this is the best you've got to support such dumbassery, you might want to consider the first rule of holes: stop digging.

How will we have hyper loop then?
aaah. not exactly. ask MSFT about their browser debacle in the EU.
Microsoft fined by European Commission over web browser
The EU's competition regulator fines Microsoft 561m euros ($731m; £484m) after it failed to keep a promise to promote a choice of rival web browsers.

Thanks for those wise words. I will most certainly reflect. I also can see the left still can’t take a joke.
You are posting on a forum where grown adults rage for hundreds of pages about the way the wipers on their car work
