     @arstechnica 'To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, "Busy now, please check back later." (To be fair, in this case "check back later" is a good summary of what happened.)'

     excellent reporting 🙃

     @arstechnica yeah, Musk maybe a free speech absolutist but in practice it doesn't seem to reach the censor gnomes working there. I have been x jailed for using a term for a cheap sex worker to describe Hunter's laptop. They also think using the words cancer and dead in reference to a famous person who is neither dead nor has cancer is promoting violence.

     @arstechnica I would pay money to watch the GameStop guys do things to this company’s stock! If only it were still public. What kind of dirt does Elon have on his other investors that they are not making “corrections”.

     @arstechnica Do you know the difference between a crack addict and Uber rich lunatics like ol musky or the krapdashians?
     We have a chance the crack addict will get better.
     The entire world knows there isn't a single shred of hope for the "more money than brains" set. Most are beyond sick and tired of all of their bs as if we need to know what these useless wastes of oxygen are doing. The only thing we want to know is if whatever it is will cause irreparable harm. Like everything musk does.
