Elon Musk told banks that agreed to help fund his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter Inc. that he could crack down on executive and board pay at the social media company in a push to slash costs, and would develop new ways to monetize tweets, three people familiar with the matter said.
So how do you monetize what's supposedly already free ?

Musk is conservatives latest man crush .. because they think lies , harassment is speech worth protecting . Because it’s the only speech Republicans use with regularity . So much for Truth social. Took peoples money claiming the same thing how did that work out?
what could go wrong with a single owner pulling all the strings at twitter.. keep chasing you false idols
You’re good with hidden means. Care to tell us how
Elon Musk wants to 'authenticate all real humans' on Twitter.
Here are some of your hero’s free speech examples
Musk personally cancelled a client’s Tesla order after complaining that the man had been “super-rude” in a blog post, and fired an Autopilot employee who posted mostly positive reviews on his private YouTube channel but showed the Tesla occasionally malfunctioning.
Or He also sent a threatening letter to The New York Times objecting to unfavorable coverage, writing, “If anything like this happens again, please consider [your] relationship with Tesla to end immediately upon publication of such a piece.” It’s a curious kind of “free speech absolutist” that defends carrying Russian propaganda but tries to silence American newspapers.
Why is the new GOP drawn to
Megalomaniac‘s

wdmso, the hunter biden laptop story wasn’t lies or intimidation, nor is suggesting covid came from wuhan.
if joe biden can say republicans want to put blacks in chains, if everyone on the left can say i hate blacks and women, why can’t i say that hunters income seems fishy or that we should see if covid originated in the wuhan lab?
musk isn’t conservative, he loved obama. But he’s getting the left to show their hysterical, marxist, censorship colors.
he just looks conservative, compared to where the democrats are right now. why they chose to race to the fringe left is beyond me, but they’re about to find out how stupid of a strategy that is.
It’s hilarious.
Seeing what the markets did this month? One thing biden had going for him was the stock
market, and it’s looking very very sick at the moment.
just in time for the midterms!!
oh, and gdp shrunk in the first quarter, and that’s before the Fed is getting aggressive with rate hikes.
Not looking good at all. Recession coming just in time for the midterms.
The gop is set to roll in November.

Jim’s version of a white, Christian America that idealizes capitalists (for example, him) has lost favor in the cultural marketplace, and people who espouse racist, misogynistic or bigoted views now face consequences they didn’t before (which they call censorship). A multicultural society forces their children to learn more than the historical myths on which their purported superiority was constructed (which they call indoctrination).
They are victims, forever and always. Jim is promising to avenge his victimhood by imposing his cultural norms on everyone else — in the name of freedom — and maintaining the socioeconomic caste system that has fostered the greatest level of inequality in a century.
That is the Republican Party’s 2022 platform. It’s also a gift to Democrats — if they can figure out how to use it.

i was asking TDF which if you two lunatics was chester and which was spike
you’re not criticizing me. you’re howling at the moon and embarrassing yourself.
TDF is the most measured, middle of the road guy here. he’s criticized me before, and i deserved it when he did. ask yourself what it means that he’s poking fun of you here.

the S&P500 had the worst 4 months to start a year, since 1939.
worst start in 83 years. 83 years. And that’s all BEFORE the fed starts hiking rates like crazy.
Biden is making Jimmy Carter look like Dwight Eisenhower.

Is that a yes or a no
And of course you think a world economic correction is Biden’s fault
Yet you have or your GOP pals have offered not a single idea or policy to suggest how they would correct it! Not one!
GOP sees Americans anger at inflation as a vote getter not a concern the wish to fix.. odd how that works.
And the American voter is stupid enough to think they want to address the issue

Don’t let the Trump toadies, Tucker suckers & Musk morons get you down. We live in a era of mediocre men pledging their fealty to conmen, crooks and straight-up kooks.

And according to NPR (NPR!!), a small majority of latinos plan to vote republican in the midterms.
i’m not sure i believe that, but even if it’s off by a quarter, that’s a rout for the gop.
who is advising this party, that a majority of americans will vote for radical woke progressivism? how can anyone have so little accurate awareness of what america is, and what america isnt ?
the democrats have schools, the media, hollywood. if they ran a Bill Clinton moderate democrat, they’d win 40 states.

The real effects of TFG are occurring now.
Just like in Texas
Texas is now losing out on a rail line from Mexico because of Greg Abbott’s border stunt— Mexico’s Economy Minister said, “We’re now not going to use Texas. We can’t leave all the eggs in one basket and be hostages to someone who wants to use trade as a political tool.”
