I mean, if he's gonna not keep his financial commitments to Google, there's no reason to believe he would keep them to Ian Miles Cheong

The legal profession owes Muskie big time for what could amount to a litigators' renaissance.

Is he trying the Three Stooges legal defense, where he gets sued so much that each case ties up all the others in the courts?

Kylie explained to me that Musk is actually suing people who used to work for Twitter (and are now working for whatever Zuckerberg's Twitter-killer is called) in order to borrow money against the lawsuits

I mean, I can think of a couple of reasons why Elon Musk would be more likely to give money to nazis than pay his utilities.

Latest news is that Musk's going to change the Twitter icon to a big X (his obsession with this letter is known). Honestly can't stop laughing at this one. Every time I see a big splashy X all I can think of is

He's still the World's Most Divorced Man so it stands to reason he's still obsessed with his X.

Even before he was forced to buy Twitter he began talking about X, his Everything App, something that he has never clarified what that means or explained why he would need Twitter to do that

He owns X.com and has for like 25 years. That is the entirety of his plan.

IIRC, even PayPal actually started off as X- something-or-other, after he bought into it.

Imagine being such a fucking loser that you own this URL for a generation and do nothing with it.

(as of this moment it's a redirect to Twitter, lmao)

As of this moment, and some hours beforehand, the redirect is broken.

He wants to be WeChat but he doesn't have the government mandate that makes WeChat possible.

And not that there's much you can do to distinguish a logo that's just the letter X, but it looks an awful lot like the X Window System logo.

It also resembles the Unicode U+1D54F character (which I tried to include here in my post but it causes an "unsupported characters" error) and the lowercase x from the Special Alphabets 4 font.
