[Brazelton] Twitter

- Start date
the US has about 80 million active Twitter accounts.
Threads has only been rolled out in the US and has surpassed the 100 million active users threshold already.
Of course a lot of those won't actually be *active* users in the same sense, many of them are no doubt just Instagram users who are curious and all that, but still.

This is the bash on Muskie thread, right?
In case anyone can't see this, it's a Tweet about how horrible the production quality is for Tesla Cybertruck. Parts don't line up, chipped paint, edges that look like they were made with a Harbor Freight angle grinder, etc.

Did we know that Musk is suing the lawyers that represented the old Twitter board in their court case to force Musk to buy Twitter? Because he's totally doing that.
Apparently he doesn't think it's fair that the old board paid the lawyers bill something like 10 minutes before he took over, because he totally would have stopped Twitter from paying that bill. Which, true, but I'm not sure "It's not fair that people I don't like got paid, because I'm a massive manbaby throwing a temper tantrum" has quite the legal weight Elon thinks it does.
Also because he thinks that the fees the lawyers charged are way too high for what was such an obviously easy, any idiot can win this court case. Against him!
Anyway, here's Legal Eagle's take on it.

Hasn't there been an on-going problem for all of the Tesla vehicles having parts that do not line up?

The poor build quality of Teslas has been a meme for years, yeah. Apparently they're not getting any better.
Harbor Freight "Yo man why you dissin, isa $12 grinder, was yous expecting Milwaukee?"
What's funnier is that his argument is basically that the firm doesn't deserve a payment that big because any idiot should have been able to defeat him because his case was doomed.
Well guess it's an official Brazelton.

Apparently it's what Musky likes, "It’s long been known that Musk favors the 'X' branding. The banking startup he co-founded in 1999 was called x.com, and his recently-announced Ai venture is called xAI. And Twitter’s holding company was rammed to X Corp in April."
I feel like he’s secretly announcing to the world that he wishes he’d been born a woman.
In the meanwhile I’ll be over here bracing for all the DMX memes that are sure to drop tomorrow.

It would be smarter and more profitable than what he's doing now.
Nothing says freedom of speech absolutist like banning the Twitter account of a porn site preemptively because it might clash with your own rebranding push.
*looks at the various people who claim to be free speech aboslutists*
... no, no, this is pretty on brand.
And Microsoft for financial services.
I have no interest in threads, but if zuckerberg now changed the name of it to X I think I would use it out of principle.
The absolutely funniest thing is that Elon was apparently stealing money from his own companies to finance a "giant glass structure" in the middle of the desert, but it wasn't found out until AFTER the movie came out.
