Musk’s bumbling of Twitter shattered the last remaining illusions of his genius, even among many of his loyal fanboys. Yet somehow u/spez is still convinced. I will never understand people who find inspiration in dim-witted, vile men only because they’re wealthy.

If all you care about is wealth...

If he's taking his cues from that dingus, Reddit's in bigger trouble than we thought.

He might be able to pull the site out of the fire as a business, but it's never again going to be the place we once knew.

and of course he's the kind of born-wealthy-enough-to-afford-private-school white guy who wants Musk-senpai to notice him

god, does this man not have a PR team or something; why are they not making him shut the fuck up

Cost cutting? You mean not paying his damn bills?

@Haus

No wonder he being a tool. Trying to emulate the king of tools.

So he learned his mistakes from Elon Musk.

I wonder if he also turns Reddit into a de-facto echochamber for far-right conspiracy theorists.

u/spez shows his small dick energy. It's at -3000 though.

What kind of absurd drug addiction do you have to have to stay working at Twitter and not leave? I mean, just how massive is your student loan debt to put yourself through that?

It’s all the H1b visa holders who can’t leave.

and if Musk wants to buy controlling interest in reddit during their anticipated IPO, could he pay in shares of Twitter?
