Oh, Elon. Following on yesterday’s nonsense in banning the ElonJet account that robotically posted the public information regarding Elon’s private plane flights, and then trying to justify it later (after initially promising to keep the account alive to demonstrate his “commitment to free speech”), it appears that Elon’s commitment to free speech continues to dwindle.

Elon Musk is now learning that free speech is for shitheads. You have to stop the shitheads from ruining things.

It hasn’t been even two months that Musk has outright owned Twitter, but it’s clear the social network is already an albatross around the neck of the world’s second-richest man. This year alone, he has sold nearly $40 billion — with a b — in Tesla shares.

Musk said Twitter loses $4 million a day; he’s got to keep it going somehow, and the easiest way is to just draw down his Tesla stake.

They will soon want their money back. You have to pay interest on all those billions you borrowed. 😆
