Also dude berates his staff for not working over Thanksgiving.
Jets off to Qatar for a footie match.

Well that got me to log back in.
Maybe he’s figured out he’s fucked up and that this isn’t good for him or his other brands and he’s looking for a way out. We can only hope.

Is this good? I don’t understand the scheme here.
Well, if nothing else he’s juiced up his average monthly active users a bit, and can use that to increase prices to advertisers. It’s not like he has to abide by anything he says.
So, he’s gonna install a figurehead to “run” Twitter? He’ll still own it, and whoever is in that position will do whatever he/she is told.
Unless he’s in Qatar trying to talk Jared K. into buying for pennies on the dollar…possibly the only man both nearly as rich and nearly as stupid as he is.
Watch as he hands it over the CEO to Shitgibbon.

Yeah, but Kushner isn’t even close. He’s barely a billionaire, Musk theoretically is/was a 150B guy. Of course, that’s all bullshit because it was tied up in stupid crypto-bro valuation of Tesla. Musk was, before this current bit, probably worth 30-40 Billion in reality. If you have all the Beanie Babies then you are worth X on paper, if you try to sell all your Beanie Babies then the price will plummet. Sucking up the Twitter hit is going to probably knock him down by a factor of 10.

I find it hard to believe there aren’t a lot of other people born rich who are stupid.
In fact just double checking Forbes says the entire Kushner family is worth $1.8 billion. And their list of the wealthiest people in the world says you need at least $3 billion to make the top 1000. So there are plenty of other opportunities to find people born into equal amounts of wealth who might be similarly stupid.

It’s funny that he realizes no one capable of running Twitter wants the job, but disagree understand why that is.
He’s so close to cracking the code!
I thought I had read where he scammed some multiple tens of billions from the Saudis for being the Trump son-in-law. I don’t have much patience for reading about the useless sons of the idle rich, so I may have misread it.
He didn’t scam. He sold out to the Saudis. What did the Saudis get for that $2 billion?

I’m in the same boat, I just googled what he was worth. Spending any real brain time on it feels gross.

He’s probably there answering to the people he’s forced to stand behind.
Honestly of the whole “assassination coordinates” nonsense… he owes money to Qataris and the Saudis.
A lot of money.
That he’s publicly set on fire and laughing about.
Now most people assume they spent that money hoping it would destroy Twitter, but if they spent that money hoping it would let them manipulate Twitter and he set it on fire instead? They might be unhappy.
But odds are that he’s just a fucking idiot and this poll is his chance to avoid responsibility.
“It was going great until the haters voted me out, back to Mars I guess!”
Edit: And for the record, I don’t think the Qataris/Saudis are out to get him. I think he’s an idiot selling his delusional narrative to people dumber than he is for fake popularity. But it’s fun to conspiracy theory sometimes as long as you know it’s bullshit. Kind of like making up the most insane versions of movies or WWE matches. “And then the Undertaker chokeslams a kid in the audience!”

No idea who this is, but they claim to own over a billion dollars in Tesla stocks.
And Raisini is apparently a Dubai record label? And they’re verified from back when that meant something so I assume it’s Haneef Raisini.
Edit: Though if this is accurate, a hand off to Kushner, who was also there, seems natural.
He’s fine doing what the Saudis want and working with them.
Edit2: Even if it isn’t accurate, it’s a logical progression. Saudis and Qataris are big investors, they call Elon out, Jared is there, they say they’re not happy with how he’s running shit, recommend he step down and let Jared handle it, etc, etc. Don’t need threats of bonesaws to do that.
