But someone recently said he revived the NFT market single-handedly, with people making a bigly 1000% return!

Maybe all his companies are like this, it’s just the first one that’s been so public and shown his true colours.

I’m not going to look for it now, but there was a Twitter thread from last year that kind of talks about this.

Basically, SpaceX and Tesla are companies that grew up with Elon as an early investor, and have learned early on how to contain him. They institutionally have firewalls in place to keep him from wrecking the real work they’re doing, like dedicated Musk-handlers that slow walk his bad ideas until he changes his mind a few days later.

Twitter basically had none of those institutional firewalls, and could not container him with company culture.

Meanwhile, you have the Elon fanboys still pretending Twitter is doing better than it ever has.

Well, it is, if you’re a Nazi.

To be fair, those are Mission Impossible chase scenes really disrupt traffic.

Putin:

I thought I had him in a box.

And then he got out like a fox.

And then I saw him in a house.

And I then he went to Belarus.

So I will track him here and there.

Say! I can track him anywhere!

I do not like this Wagner man!

Thank you! Thank you, SAM-I-Am.

I need to point out that “aliens communicating in memes” was done by ST:TNG, in the Darmok episode.

Alien: “Shaka, when the walls fell” (essentially Disappointed Guy meme)

Picard: …

I recall a thread over on Reddit, where someone in one of the dad subs was asking for advice on what to do. His wife, an OB/GYN, had gotten a job offer in Massachusetts. They were living in one of the Southern states, and her taking the job meant uprooting their young family away from nearby relatives and friends.

The response in the sub was almost unanimous telling him to move. Wife could get sued to oblivion and go to jail, etc. That would be far worse than living a few hours away from family.

I recall they did move.

To be fair, given the bottom of the barrel scraping that must be going on to find lawyers willing to work with him, some of those lawyers might be graduates of Hollywood Upstairs Legal College.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how Trump thinks it works.

But how do you keep the ice cream cake from melting over that time?
