    Mark Cuban said he would love to buy Twitter, but I think he should build a new better twitter. Clearly there is no copy write on the concept as Truth Social is a complete knock off and he hasn't tried to stop them.

    Queue up his apologists to talk about how rich he is and how losing $35B is really a genius move.

    Not sure if anybody else is experiencing the same flood of nonsense that Elon is pushing to me on X. I wasn't even following his account but keep getting message after message of his. I suppose he's manipulating the algorithms to push his personal posts via the "For You" tab? Will see if muting him works lol.

    Hmmm ….. similar to not being able to block the “nonsense” posts by TWFSG moderators. You just hotta ignore what they post …. just skip over the statement.

    Yes, everyone gets 100% of his tweets unless you block him. It works ... for now. He has said he is going to remove the ability to block or mute people, and I'm fairly sure it is so he can continue to try and force his opinions on people.

    It’s amazing how hard Elon is working at becoming Louis and Trading Places’ing himself.

    It's still great for meteorology and weather events IMO. I do sense that many meteorologists I follow have only recently been getting a taste of how weird and conspiracy theory-ridden X has become, even with topics that aren't inherently political.

    And in case there was any doubt about why Musk feels he needs to become Trumps dancing monkey:



    Jail? Really?

    How did being this creepy and disgusting get to be some kind of norm?

    Musk, Tucker Carlson laugh about post discussing hypothetical Harris assassination

    News is Musk did a highly unimpressive release of his “cyber cab”….a supposedly an entirely self driving two door mini cyber truck that doesn’t have a steering wheel or pedals. Also, said it would be under $30K which means it will come out in 7 years and cost $70k….

    Speaking of the cyber truck, I have been wondering about the safety of that ridiculous monstrosity.

    Modern cars are built with bumpers and crumple zones designed to absorb some of the energy involved in a head on crash so that not all of the de-acceleration of the occupant happens with the seat belts and air bags.

    Looking at those trucks and knowing that the reason it is so angular is because how difficult it is to bend that metal, I don't see any of that built into those trucks.

    Will be interesting to see the safety stats on that thing once it has been out for awhile and the inevitable accidents start accumulating.
