      The guy’s worth hundreds of billions and he’s running this scam for <$200k. He could lose that much money in his couch cushions and not even notice.

        Vance would find that in a heartbeat! He’d probably have some nasty paper cuts though…

      And their fucking greed and avarice will bring all of us down with them…

      I have sympathy for people with all sorts of mental conditions, but not the self inflicted greed disease that fucks all of us.

    Musk told advertisers to twitter to “fuck off”.

    Musk is now buying advertising on twitter.

    Transitively Musk is telling himself to "fuck off.

      Musk has already moved on from telling advertisers to fuck off to suing them for fucking off. He’s just making sure he doesn’t have to sue the PAC.

    I mean, not that weird? Bloomberg probably paid his own TV channel to run ads on it?

    This is just another example where Trump doing something hamfisted and clumsy pushes something universal about politics into the arena where the the Left has to pretend this isn’t just how politics works America.

    I mean to be outraged about open political corruption implies that altruistic public service is the norm.

    Do we think all the other billionaires decided to buy up media outlets and making secret unlimited donations are somehow better because they kept their political agendas on the DL?

  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage.
