Bingo right there. No fun for sure, but capitalism and freedom is what makes America great. If you're good in your trade and consistently work hard, you will often get a better deal that the one you lost. It's the incompetent and lazy that shit their diapers and cry about it. The best hustle up a new job and continue on as normal. The best move on and up. The lazy, the entitled, the incompetent, the incorrigible, whine and cry and blame and file suits. It's an old story. The honest and diligent make America great. The rest are parasites and should leave the country or stfu.

What makes me laugh at these leftist prima-donnas is that they CLEARLY poisoned twitter by policy when they ensured it was a leftist echo chamber. The knew it was infested with bots supporting their cause because they created them. They wrote algorithms to marginalize those that disagreed with the lefts ideals. Everyone now knows this is what they did, and they have the nerve to go on media saying that Elon is undermining honesty and transparency? Really?? Their dishonesty and subterfuge is truly sickening. Musk is telling them in his own way that he knows, everyone else knows, and that their little game is over.

All that time sobbing to the dumb shits and they could be looking for another job.

Losing a job sucks.
They brought everyone together at lunch and let everyone go.
My wife damn near had a panic attack when I came home early and told her I had been let go.
When she calmed down a bit and asked what I was going to do.
I told her I would get up and go to work in the morning at my new job for $5 an hr more that I had gotten on the drive home.

Six digit paychecks and I bet none of those idiots could survive a month because they are broke and in debt to their eyeballs.

Biden channeling Jimmy Two Times.

quote:
"Elon Musk goes out and buys an outlet that sends — that spews lies all across the world," Biden remarked. "There are no editors anymore in America. There are no editors."

The president seemed to suggest there was no longer any moderation on Twitter, a claim echoed by several others on the platform who are also critical of Musk.

"How do we expect kids to be able to understand what is at stake? What is at stake? So there's a lot going on, a lot going on. But we have an enormous opportunity, enormous opportunity," Biden added.

WOW Roll Eyes


They are just FURIOUS that THEY can no longer spew their bullshit and lies via this platform without being challenged or fact checked now.

Isn’t it amazing how the Left acts like a bratty 5 year old child when they can’t get their way?

Y'know, in years past, Biden's odd behavior would end up in the papers, in the papers.

The left must control the message 100%. Anything short of complete control of the message, and oh, the world is ending and the Nazis are running in the streets and Republicans are eating your children.

They are a ridiculous group. They're perpetually stuck at the mental age of 12.

The leftist 'Cult' - Their 'projection' is perpetual, their lies know NO shame, they hate America & they hate Americans, they are truely absent ANY morality, and are perpetuators of evil...Power and control is their drug, and their addiction!

One has to wonder where the line is drawn between those that are in on the monumental grift to destroy civil society, and those that are the mindless kool-aid drinking lemmings willingly going along!

They actually believe people will be impressed by that meaningless word salad.

Years from now they'll still be wallowing in their grief, telling anyone who will listen to them about how they used to work for Twitter.

Yes on the word salad but hey it makes them feel important. Future Al Bundys telling everyone about their small piece of time/greatness in their own little minds.

Elon should've known better than to try to appease and apologize to these NPC cretins. You never apologize and never appease. All it does is chum the waters.

Hopefully he keeps this in mind going forward.

I hope some of the complainers will read and understand his tweet today (I'm too optimistic I know). A 16 year old company can't go on LOSING $4 MILLION DOLLARS A DAY. He had to make some drastic changes and cutting staff is a legitimate option.

I don't use social media. I don't book, snap, twit, tok, what or anything. I wouldn't even really know how to get started.

But if Elon doesn't appease and holds his ground. And if $8 is the only way to keep his investment viable for now, I'd consider joining. I wouldn't use it, but even though I balk and hem at $10/mo for prime music, if Musk can put up billions to get the crazy leftists to shut the fuck up and kick them out of the twit house, I can scrouge up $8/mo for awhile to help him out. I would get much more from $10 for prime music. But I am enjoying the silencing of the left (and their screeches of woe).

It's free to use twitter.
The $8 fee is ONLY for the blue checkmark to show that you're verified as some specific person.
