@mcfate Every single thing he says and does tanks his stocks and costs him literal millions and I'm so here for it.

@mcfate One of the most obnoxious downward spirals ever. If he's smart, which he isn't, he'd sell Twitter for cheap. But then he wouldn't be able to keep people from making fun of him so he won't. He let the ding dongs over at 4chan convince him that he's the Da Vinci of our time and he is in for the rudest of awakenings.

@Tail

The problem with "selling Twaffle cheap" is that it's worthless to anyone now, and he owes people money they lent him to buy it.

@mcfate @Tail Destroying it as a site where people can network for actual good causes was always the point of buying it, and reaching that goal would have been worth far more to them.

@lovesdaryl @Tail

You'll need to show your work. How's it worth $44 billion to anyone and why would Elmo be willing to destroy himself to accomplish this supposed "goal"?

What's he GET out of this deal?

@mcfate @Tail Putin, Saudi Arabia, not least of all the GOP. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

@lovesdaryl @Tail

And which "actual good causes" are they destroying Elmo to impede?

And why is Elmo willing to destroy himself for the Russians, the Saudis, and/or the GOP?

"He's an idiot" has a LOT fewer moving parts, Occam's Razor favors MY explanation.

@mcfate @lovesdaryl well given their close ties to Trump via Kushner, it's in their vested interest to dismantle any platform that serves as a major tool used to keep corrupt Republican politicians from power. They want Trump and they want Kushner. He certainly is an idiot but it still begs the question, why would the Saudis bankroll this thinking it's a solid investment.

@mcfate Is it really so unbelievable that a hostile nation would make a small monetary investment to cause considerable damage to one of their enemies? They'd be stupid not to.

@Tail @mcfate This damage via radicalizing bots is being done not just in the US. They are fundamentally opposed to human rights for all people and to democracy as a whole, anywhere, because they don't want it to spread to their countries, and they have invested in Twitter as one step toward this goal. We'll see how this turns out. I won't fight you over this. 🀷

@Tail @mcfate They want their women hidden at home and veiled in public, without rights. They want to keep democracy out. And toward that end, 44 billion is cheap for them.

@lovesdaryl @Tail

Okay, this is officially nuts. There's NO bright line between wanting women veiled and the existence of not of Twaffle. This is just unmoored wailing now.

Twaffle a shithole. It's never NOT been a shithole. Twaffle brought you GamerGate and other noxious culture war battles.
