Elon Musk buys 73 million shares of Twitter, becomes largest stockholder
That contains just enough fertilizer to make things grow.
He'll be mocked for saying he loves Humanity, I think. Kinda hokey.

I’m still not planning on joining Twitter but I do hope Musk is successful in changing the Twitter from its current leftist hellscape into something a bit less one sided.

I've had a Twitter account since 2009, I think. I've never used for anything. May just use it now to re-"tweet" stuff that would've gotten me banned or shadowbanned before, just because.

Had a Twitter account. Had it deleted when I could abide by their behavior no longer. Fired up a new account when Musk ventured to buy the thing. Let it go fallow when he walked away. Guess I'll start using it again.
But I do think I'm gonna delete every last political and social commentary follow. That stuff just becomes too much. Don't need it.

Matt had a good review of the demand letter. Hopefully Musk finds a few gems among the masses. I can't imagine a better opportunity to advance a career in space/tech by getting on his good side.
"Wine on Tap" is closed until further notice. Probably

Timcast cracked a $4 grand+ bottle of Louie XIII cognac. You should celebrate victories. Twitter is lit and making up for years of censorship. Trump may be back on Monday.
Earlier Thursday in Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, product leaders showed Tesla engineers the company’s code, so they could assess and explain to Musk what the company needs, according to one of the people.
Twitter’s engineers can no longer make changes to code as of noon in San Francisco, the people said.

There you go. The keys to the kingdom.
But I'm sure the code is complicated that only rocket scientists can figure it out. If only Musk had access to some rocket scientists....

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

I went ahead and made a twitter account.
Just following Musk for now.
Today feels like a win. I want a front row seat to see the meltdowns. I few are apparent as the twitters melt down while tagging Elon. I guess the Barista that served his coffee today had a mini-meltdown.

Advertising that’s “as relevant as possible to [a Twitter user’s] needs,” sounds like next level information harvesting in order to target the ads.
