Is there any conceivable outcome where we win by having Twitter and Musk destroy one another?
Maybe that’s been the plan all along!
This may be the first instance of the trolley problem where the correct answer is “more trolleys”
Wondering how many shareholders want this deal.
I am 100% legit not sure if this is a typo for “Ultimate Poseur”.
I am the very model of / bad faith and hypocrisy…
Someone more cleverer than me can carry this on…
Your honour, my client’s offer to buy Twiddle has trashed the company’s value to such an extent that it would be unfair to hold him to the offer to buy Twiddle.
The court finds that to be a load of twaddle.
I’ll take a stab at it…
I am the very model of bad faith and hypocrisy
I’d be an abject failure in any meritocracy
Fawning fan-boys dub me lord of meme kakistocracy
From reddit to 4Chan, I’m an empty boastful want-to-be
I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters peado-logical
Upstage me, then you are one, it’s a law quite cosmological
The bullshit I spout steaming is ridiculously grandiose
And If I fail to deliver, just blame it on lazy workers, bros
If I fail to deliver, just blame it on lazy workers, bros
If I fail to deliver, just blame it on lazy workers, bros
If I fail to deliver, just blame it on lazy workers, bros
I’m very good at trolling, courting the alt-right homunculus
I know decision-makers should be very rich and really quite homogenous
In short, by every measure, judged in any meritocracy
I am the very model of bad faith and hypocrisy
Thank you, for my next number I’ll be performing “My Stock” from the hit Broadway musical Simpleton…
I’m just throwing away, my stock.
I’m just throwing away, my stock…
I used to consider myself a master of the spoof lyric. A real Weird Al who had never been discovered. I’ve just learned how wrong I’ve been.
You sir. You. Genius.
TBH, Musk is a spoiled brat and is trying to get away from the mess he put himself on, but without pay for this.
This is a case where I’m cheering they do the Devo on Musk and whip it good
Excellent! I knew someone had this!
Basically, he has demonstrated yet again that he is just a trollionaire.
second half of first line missing a syllable / beat
I am the very model of bad faith and huge hypocrisy
ETA huge props to @Mitchell for the extended version. Brilliant!
Yes, that bugged me too…good note. Otherwise, it’s perfect!
Thanks. I feared being too much tarred as the resident curmudgeon if I pointed out that every line in the first verse is a syllable/beat short to scan properly
‘failure’ needs to be sung as ‘fail-ee-ure’ (line 2)
‘meme’ could be ‘meming’, (line 3)
‘I’m’ needs to be ‘I am’ (line 4)
last line of verse two might better be ‘And if I don’t deliver blame it on the lazy workers, bros’
‘rich’ and ‘really’ need to come out of the 2nd line of last verse
But still an A+ on the scorecard.
And now, I guess I am the curmudgeon. In my defence …
