@elonmusk Aww, calm down Mr Poopy Pants

To be honest, I really wanted to respond with this Tropic Thunder meme, but I would NEVER do something so rude & irresponsible!

@krassenstein Now, granted, I am 100% against Trump and for Harris. No question. But 4 of 5 Trump's drops were in Feb 27-Mar 16 of 2020, the beginning of Covid. Nobody could have seen that coming. His response to Covid then and later was utter garbage. This still needs to be said.

Here are the 10 Largest Daily Percentage Dow Jones Drops in recent history, along with the president who was in charge during each stock market collapse: - President: Reagan October 19, 1987 - Percentage Drop: -22.61% - President: Trump March 16, 2020 - Percentage Drop: -12.93% - President: Hoover October 28, 1929 - Percentage Drop: -12.82% - President: Trump March 12, 2020 - Percentage Drop: -9.99% - President: Hoover October 29, 1929 - Percentage Drop: -11.73% - President: Trump March 9, 2020 - Percentage Drop: -7.79% - President: George W. Bush October 15, 2008 - Percentage Drop: -7.87% - President: George W. Bush September 29, 2008 - Percentage Drop: -6.98% - President: Trump June 11, 2020 - Percentage Drop: -6.90% - President: Trump February 27, 2020 - Percentage Drop: -4.42% Number of Top 10 Drops: - Trump 5/10 - Bush 2/10 - Hoover 2/10 - Reagan 1/10 - Biden 0/10

Holy Smokes, the Marsh Family has put out this parody song about J.D. Vance and not only is it catchy but it hits the nail on the head… “Anti Trump a few years ago,  Called him out as a ‘Hitler’ show.  Now you’re playing his sidekick,   Kissing Donald’s ring” I watched it 70 times.  @MarshSongs

@elonmusk Garbage

@eva28060909 @BillAckman @elonmusk @andrewrsorkin @X @tiktok_us @instagram @facebook Really? Everything else aside, the wonders of the universe are the sun, our planet Earth, and… Elon Musk? Really?

@BillAckman @elonmusk @andrewrsorkin @X @tiktok_us @instagram @facebook You are absolutely correct! We are lucky that Elon is at the head of 𝕏. I consider Elon one of the 3 wonders of the universe, the 1st is the sun, the 2nd our beautiful planet and the 3rd without a doubt is Elon! Our brave warrior 🦾❤️

I thought @elonmusk’s interview with @andrewrsorkin was one of the great interviews ever. Musk is a free speech absolutist which I respect. I think he is entirely correct that he and @X are treated unfairly and inconsistently by advertisers. @tiktok_us @instagram @facebook and others have enormous amounts of problematic content, antisemitic and otherwise, but the advertisers don’t boycott those platforms. Musk is targeted because the other media organizations view @X as a competitor and any time his name is in an article about controversies, it draws clicks. MSM is incentivized to attack him as it actually drives attention to their sites and therefore more revenues. It is these attack articles by other media organizations that put pressure on the @Disney’s of the world to stop advertising on X. If Bob Iger would carefully examine the facts, he would likely continue to advertise on X, but Disney caves to public pressure rather than do the right thing. Meanwhile Disney invests heavily on TikTok, likely alongside videos of kids teaching other teenagers to be anorexic and worse. I am sure Nelson Peltz can fix this when he joins the Disney board. X presents the opportunity for advertisers to access an incredible global audience that is not available elsewhere. And it is cheap compared to other alternatives because of current circumstances. On Musk and antisemitism: After examining the facts, it was clear to me that Musk did not have antisemitic intent when he responded with the ‘actual truth’ tweet, and further clarified thereafter. I thought he made what he meant extremely clear in the @andrewrsorkin interview, namely, that Jews are drawn to support ‘oppressed’ groups and causes through various non-profits due to our history of being an oppressed minority. Musk points out correctly that a number of these organizations and their members support Hamas. And he is correct in saying that Jews should rethink support for organizations that seek their elimination. Many Jews are doing that right now. To use a Muskism, Earth is fortunate that @X is owned by an individual that is largely insulated from financial and other influence. That said, perhaps some form of very carefully governed trust would be a better forever owner than any individual. @PershingSqFdn invested in the Twitter privatization in support of free speech. Whether we make a profit on our investment is not important to us as we never intend to sell our interest. I am more inclined to like and support companies that advertise on the platform because I appreciate their support for free speech. I have actually bought products I learned about from ads on @X. I can’t think of another example of my responding to direct advertising other than on X. Unfortunately, recent (and society’s long-term experience) with non-profit governance, see @OpenAI, certain private universities etc. should not give anyone confidence that a traditional non-profit would be a better owner of X than Musk. Perhaps some day the ownership of X should be distributed to each American, one share for each American during their lives and one for each person born, with a charter which permanently vests the free speech principles by which it operates. Until then, we all should be grateful that X is owned by Musk.

@AshSinclairOF @ninaturner This old toaster that I have in the garage is better than Trump

We deserve better than Biden v. Trump.

BREAKING: Republican House Speaker candidate Jim Jordan gets devastating news as multiple House Republicans threaten to skip the speaker vote that he’s trying to force — which will allow Hakeem Jeffries to win and become the House Speaker. But it gets even WORSE for Jim Jordan… A Republican Congressman told a reporter, “What happens when Jordan forces us to the floor to try to pressure us and all of a sudden we don’t show up and Hakeem Jeffries is speaker cause he wanted to be a bully?” Adding insult to injury for Jordan, several moderate Republicans told CBS news today that “they would oppose his candidacy,” leaving Jordan’s bid to be speaker in “grave doubt.” This is brutal news for Jordan, because he can’t afford to lose just FIVE votes — whether they vote for someone else or they simply don’t show up to vote at all. If that happens, which is now becoming a real possibility, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will become House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries — and today’s Republican majority will go down in history as the most embarrassing, dysfunctional majority in the history of the U.S. Congress. Trumper Jim Jordan thought that being elected speaker would be a cakewalk, but now it appears that it may backfire in the most spectacular way imaginable. Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Jim Jordan must BEVER become Speaker of the House — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb
