    I think he’d rather be a victim than have advertisers. This smells weirdly calculated. Don’t forget the whole anti-semite thing, which stayed up for just long enough to make it look like he had to take it down from some kind of mysterious “pressure”, when we all know full well this dude dngaf. Like, none at all.

    He doesn’t need advertiser money. He can keep twitter afloat with the cash in his checking account. He’ll just whine about it a lot.

    None of this really bothers him. He wants loyal followers, and this is acquiring more of that. Maybe we’ll get lucky, and it’s to take them all to Mars. Cross your fingers everyone.

      No way, kids will be born there.

      Imagine being born in a shitty space station where fucking Elon Musk decides how much water, food, and even air costs.

      Especially considering he’d never go himself. You’d be an abject concept, nothing more than a number on a spreadsheet.

      No one should be born into that shit.

      I think his behavior shows that he has another revenue stream that is non public and foreign.

      Even he is not rich enough to be able to do that indefinitely.

      oh boy - his followers aren’t going to mars, his kind are. and when they do…it will be because they don’t need us anymore. they’ll leave us to their steaming shit-pile of rubble the rest of us called earth
