Not even an electron microscope could see my surprise at this.

But I thought that making gobs of money on insider information was one of the perks of being a corporate executive? :confused:

Twitter continues to enshit itself to no apparent end:
  • Can't block ads anymore
  • Can't hide ads anymore without clicking through on the ad
  • Laundry list of "interests" imposed upon user you have to manually unclick to remove but it times out after unenclickening 5 or 6 at a time
  • Autoplay on all vids /ads
  • Hid "likes"

Once I had a goal of hitting 10,000 blocked ads, screenshotting it and sending it to Eloi Munch. Dreams are meant to be broken on the internet.

I bet that thing can't even fit in the bed.

That thing is clearly was just tacked on after Elon demanded seamless hood/windshield interface.

Does anybody remember the really really early video game (8bit? black and white) that had a pickup truck that looked exactly like the cybertruck but with round wheel-wells? I think they used about 6 pixels in the rendering. Saw one post recently with a screen cap that jogged the memory, but I failed to save it and I have looked for it a couple times but so far have not seen it.

Ring any bells?

In order to come up with the $44 billion he needed to acquire Twitter, Musk had to borrow a total of $13 billion from seven different banks. Typically, when a bank lends money for a takeover like this, they sell off the debt quickly. Unfortunately for Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and the rest of the banks that helped finance the deal, they quickly discovered that wouldn’t be an option unless they were willing to take significant losses on those loans.

LOL, a bit more indepth of exactly what the judge ordered.


SpaceX applied to have the block on it's accounts lifted, another judge that received that appeal also said "Nah, you problem pal".
