    I wonder if it would have been brilliant if it was “Elon Musk’s X Still Down in Brazil After Company Sends $5.2 Billion instead of $5.2 Million for the Fine to Charity Organization instead of Bank”

        Everytime I think I’m a little “out there”, I remember THIS dork exists, which frees up my mind to do other things.

        Like put on a mushroomhead XX logo painted jason mask, a diana ross wig, and flannel shirt so I could go to a Fiona Apple concert, mostly against my will, get up to the front of the stage and start waving my hand enthusiastically and yell “HI HIPPIE LADY!!! HELLO!!! HELLO HIPPIE LADY!!! HIIIIIII!!!” as her bassist had to walk off stage from laughing too much, Fiona Apple looking annoyed, and 2000 people all glaring daggers at me. Luckily the crowd was 100% females besides me. So no violence towards my antics actually took place.

        Times are crazy. Especially when I remember that story is like 20 years old.

        This was the first warning. We all saw him cosplay as a Matrix extra, and we did laugh at him, but we didn’t bully this dork ass bitch enough.

          I don’t think bullying dorks who cosplay as their cyberpunk OC will help. Bully billionaires instead.

                You’re safe with us friend. We (I only actually speak for myself) only bully those that deserve it. The ones that bully the little people now that they have made it. Personally, I’m not bullying him for the look and picture. I’m bullying him for being a racist, conceited, fucking ass hole who lost his way over some mother fucking monayyyyy

      if your readers realize they keep dry heaving whenever they click one of your articles you will soon have no more readers. that troglodyte looks like a lovecraftian sea monster. no one wants to see that.

    This is entirely on Twitter. For your average person, sending a court-ordered fine to the wrong institution means it hasn’t been paid.

    Plus, theres the fact that Musk is completely untrustworthy. After all the effort it’s taken to get Twitter to pay up, I wouldn’t restore their ability to earn income from Brazilians until the fine was secured thoroughly and correctly.

    Keep in mind this is “X, the everything app”. Musk expects it to be your one stop on the internet for everything, including online banking.

      Anyone who wants the internet to be like this… It’s hard to describe adequately.

      The idea makes me as angry as I was when I was a kid and first heard about the destruction of the library of Alexandria. It is a deep dark rage.

        With proper open protocols for communication with various services such a ‘everything’ app could become a thing at some point.

        Where I live we already have a single app (owned for a large part by the govt) we can use to log in to most official services, and any decent-size service can apply to offer log in using it. Going from that concept it really isn’t too much of a stretch to an “everything app” becoming a thing.

          Your thing and Leon’s dream has one major difference. Thanks to those open protocols, multiple companies could build everything apps and compete on service, with all of them being able to access all you need.

          Leon does not want Twitter to be an everything app, he wants it to be the everything app that you can’t escape, owns all your data, and you can’t get on with doing basic shit without paying him money.

          He basically wants to monopolize everything, because he’s bad at competition, because he’s bad at it.

    Have you ever tried to wire money? Its fucking hard. Even the banks give you the wrong info. It usually takes me 1 month on average with about 4 failed transfers before it goes through

    This ks a bank problem

          Ah, that’s a different ball game all together. Is that even possible? Last time I tried I had to wire to a US account that my Argentinian bank has in the US and they somehow transferred the money to my account. Still, it took a couple of days and it worked without a hitch.

            Usually the process is:

            1. Go to SA bank. Be very clear about all of the data fields that my bank is asking me, and ask them to tell me EXACTLY what to enter. Get assurance that anything is fine.
            2. Send transfer
            3. Get transfer back to my bank
            4. Call my bank and ask what went wrong. They blame SA bank
            5. Call SA bank and ask what went wrong. They blame other bank and tell me that something they told me was wrong, and maybe I should try changing X from Y.
            6. GOTO 2 about 4 more times until it finally goes through.

        NGL, if I worked at Twitter, it was probably because I get paid extremely well and there’s no alternatives. So I’d absolutely phone it in. On a good day, id half ass it. And on the average day, id be copying and pasting chatGPT code directly into production servers, just enough work to not get fired, but not too much where I’ll get pulled into a meeting as someone who can solve critical problems.

        Gonna bet that’s how every twitter employee is.
