    One thing working in Musk’s favor: “The Elon brand,” said Irwin. “His personal brand might be more powerful than the Twitter brand.”

    It really, really is not.

    By Monday morning a new black “X” logo, designed by a fan over the weekend, began to appear across the site.

    Musk stan did pro bono work appropriating a Unicode character for a brand logo? Secret musk hater pulling a prank on Musk?

    Critical support for comrade Musk on his quest to reduce the number of billionaires in the world.

    So my theory is that Musk is worth less than nothing and Peter Thiel owns that motherfucker.

    That Peter Thiel never really did divest from Facebook.

    That through some dark magic mix of obscure financial structures and having the good dirt on everyone via his firm Palantir being the privatization of 5-eyes intel agencies…

    Musk was sent to take over Twitter on behalf of Thiel.

    It’s too weird to think Musk’s mission was to ruin Twitter to benefit Meta because why not just shadow-own Twitter with less steps but given how fucking incompetent Musk is, the backup plan is to trash the brand and move everyone onto Facebook.

    If a financial web can be established showing Thiel still controls Zuckerberg then conspiracy confirmed.

    Peter Thiel and his privatized intelligence service are the new aristocracy.

      Imo convoluted, the better explanation is that every billionaire dollars you get is the equivalent of a donkey kick to the head, Elon is rich and he wanted Twitter because he actually believed they were censoring people (people that like Elon!) and now he's here.

    Personally I wouldn't change the name of my app to something totally unsearchable but I guess that's why I'm not an Elon-certified Business Genius™

    Feels like he needs the tax writeoff for 2023. He knows its worth zilch but he needs that realized ASAP rather than years from now.

    Wouldn't be surprised if he liquidates a ton of tesla stock soon.
