One of the Twitter replies to Musk was something like:
WTF is Twitter blue

It’s how you show off your jpegs worth 10X the median US salary in a super cool hexagonal frame.

He had less charisma/comedic timing on SNL than Rudy or Trump.
He failed his background check?
Must have seen him on rogan.

He probably wouldn’t agree to the fiduciary clause.
Who knew that treating a billionaire toddler seriously could backfire?

My god the cult is strong. This dude got straight up scammed by Tesla/Musk for a $100k+ model x. Tesla took the car back, he’s still making payments on it years later, even though he returned the car within a week, under their 7 day return policy.
And he still describes himself as a fan of Tesla and Musk.
This is fun and all, but I’m looking for more idiosyncratic stuff from Levine, not a day-to-day Musk diary. Like a couple of weeks ago, when he talked about Barclays screwing up their shelf registration. That was good stuff!

Look this all makes complete sense, obvious, intuitive, simple sense. If you are the richest person in the world, and annoying, and you constantly play a computer game, and you get a lot of enjoyment and a sense of identity from that game and are maybe a little addicted, then at some point you might have some suggestions for improvements in the game. So you might leave comments and email the company that makes the game saying “hey you should try my ideas.” And the company might ignore you (or respond politely but not move fast enough for your liking). It might occur to you: “Look, I am the richest person in the world; how much could this game company possibly cost? I should just buy it and change the game however I want.” Even if your complaints are quite minor, why shouldn’t you get to play exactly the game you want? Even if you have no complaints, why not own the game you love, just to make sure it continues to be exactly what you want? The game is Twitter, the richest person in the world is Elon Musk.

A coworker, in our team wide chat channel (30 people), just posted a link to this “story” from… newsmax. Great.
Gab is thirsty for Elon.

They have a bunch of replies to Elon tweeting he made an official offer.
