Elon Musk Welcomes Child Sex Abuse Imagery Poster Back to Twitter

Along with the link to an article about the assistant, the account posted two screenshots from a video Scully created on the dark web, which Lucre said showed a “one-year-old named Daisy.”

Hey Youth, I found some real groomers. Elon seems like a real stand-up guy being cool with this kind of stuff too. :roll:

A pink popped collar was the path of least resistance to a** at Hobart in the 90s and early 2000s (and I’m sure 80s from all the alums I know from that era)
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

We had flannel in the 90's. Then long sleeve shirts/mock turtlenecks under polos and short sleeves. Again, mullets and m-frames / wraparound sunglasses are the rage in little league in the roaring '20's. Nothing new under the sun. Another Rex Manning day.

Rex Kwom Do pants are how I roll!

Early 90s sound like you bleached your hair blonde and got very morose while trying to analyze the lyrics to Black and/or Alive?

My son who’s starting 5th grade tomorrow is getting pretty long hair, not yet pony tail but I had my wife give him Kenny Powers in Mexico braids a couple of times. He’s wants lacrosse flow out the back of his helmet…

Glitch? Like firing most your engineers? That kind of “glitch”?

What a tool Ellie has revealed himself to be.

“Elon Musk, the owner of the app formerly known as Twitter, has said the social media site “may fail”, after a glitch caused pictures posted before December 2014 to be deleted.”

Of course, who the fcuk needed Twatter anyway?

Fascinating piece by Ronan Farrow on Musk and relationship with US Government entitled

Interesting tidbit - Musk owns over 60% of electric vehicle charging stations in the USA.

Similar dominance in satellite internet -

Pretty sure that seacoaster well knows that Musk's fortunes have been highly dependent on federal funding over the years. One aspect of his "genius" has been his use of government funding very aggressively. I'd argue that most of that funding support was well placed.

But monopoly power, however gained, is sure to draw backlash. Note that Bell's monopoly position had been dependent on early government funding as well.

But for more up to date news on Elon's nonsense, he now blames the claimed 60% drop in Twitter's ad revenue on the Anti-Defamation League because they've aggressively called out the rampant bigotry on the site, the loss of content moderation under Elon's 'management'.

Apparently, the ADL doesn't have the right to speak their views...

This bumper sticker looks suspiciously photo-shopped, but if I was driving around a Tesla I’d be looking to find a source where I could buy one:

Nope; saw one in my hometown on a Tesla that said "I bought it before I knew he was an as*hole." Probably one of those mean Jews trying to take Elon and the Wwitter down....

Elon might want to stay the fcuk out of Ukraine. What a little prcik.

“The biography, due out on Tuesday, alleges Musk ordered Starlink engineers to turn off service in the area of the attack because of his concern that Vladimir Putin would respond with nuclear weapons to a Ukrainian attack on Russian-occupied Crimea. He is reported to have said that Ukraine was “going too far” in threatening to inflict a “strategic defeat” on the Kremlin.

Musk’s threats to withdraw Starlink communications at various stages of the conflict have been previously reported, but this is the first time it has been alleged he cut off Ukrainian forces in the middle of a specific operation.”

I don't get it. Russia can, and has, sunk Ukrainian ships....but Musk thinks Ukraine/USA can't sink Russian ships or that's "escalation"?

What's the logic here? This doesn't make sense. Few things do in wartime, I guess.
