Maybe he should try Threads.

And someone should tell Elon he looks stupid every time he tries to play dress-up.

They were probably fired for telling him that.

I’m gonna laugh if the reason for the livestream failure wasn’t in fact X but Starlink.

If he’s concerned about “bad” immigrants who break laws, does that include immigrants who violate contracts of employees? Or labor laws? Or who do favors for Putin, resulting in deaths of US allies?

Yes, but unlike all those criminals coming across the southern border to escape poverty or persecution Elon Musk had a legitimate reason for leaving his country to live in the United States: he was a rich kid who didn’t want to complete his compulsory military service like all the other young men in South Africa.

The failure of immigration policy is that we let Elon Musk in.

the billionaire sent out a company-wide email

The great tycoon has no idea who does what at the company. From Yaccarino on down, they’re just an amorphous blob of soon-to-be-stiffed ex-employees.

I’m not sure it is the wrong way round (and a guy from Stetson agrees):

But - it is too small and is sitting way too high. It’s also a felt winter hat not one you wear on a hot day.

(Confession: recovering Stetson wearer).

Doesn’t matter how he wears it, he’s still gonna be all hat and no cattle.

I love that phrase!

My knowledge of cowboy movies tells me that since he’s wearing a black hat we can be certain he’s one of the bad guys.
