Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Xitter is worth as much as it was estimated before he paid an absurdly over market price for it but it won't matter because he got what he wanted out of it and will make all that money back by siding with fascism. So in reality, Xitter didn't lose any money, Elon just threw away a bunch of billions to make even more later and it worked. America chose this.

I think you give Musk WAY too much credit.

I think you give the rest of America too much credit if you think a dumbass like him wouldn't get rewarded for his unhinged ruthlessness. The country is essentially a giant casino for billionaires at this point and Elon won by betting an absurd amount on red.
