Musk closes Twitter deal

Tweets “the bird is freed”, and “let that sink in”. And produces a rationale for the purchase. (Though to the BBC and the Guardian he just “claims” to want to help humanity)

I post the above meme coz it’s pretty funny. Musk-haters will no doubt point out how “arrogant” he looks. But that look is from his night at the Met, when he took his mum, coz she wanted to go, and he did a bit of a prance up and down for the cameras, making fun of the red carpet folks, the Met attendees themselve. That was the Met do at which AOC turned up in a “Tax the Rich” dress.

People I see in the background: Parag Agrawal (just fired CEO of Twitter), AOC, Elizabeth WarrenTaylor Lorenz (?), the Lizard meme-man, the crazy lady screaming at Trump’s election in 2016, and ❓

For me: big Yay! I’m a big Elon fan-boy. Have been for many years. 

Hard to feel sorry for the top folks fired. Each has a package of $40-50 million.
