Elon Musk Prodding the Rotten Corpse of Trump’s Twitter Account is so Pitiful
Elon Musk (aka overgrown Willy Wonka reject Mike Teavee, aka Space Karen) for some reason — perhaps to distract from news of sexual harassment claims about him or old-fashioned spoilt brat megalomaniac narcissism — negotiated to buy Twitter (paying over the market value) and is now in a hole that’s getting bigger every day.
The pampered manbaby, whose family fortune reportedly came from the exploitation of African resources, tried to get out of the deal. Despite being armed with all the lawyers that money can buy, Musk failed to escape the contract and was forced to go ahead and pay $44,000,000,000 for the decade-and-a-half-old glorified 1990s chatroom.
With all the dignity of a drunk sloth trying ketamine for the first time, Elon Musk styled it out, with incessant hissy fits and public provocations, such as talking about and later bringing back banned ‘alt-right’ / far-right propagandist accounts, flogging verified ticks to any troll who wanted to buy one to impersonate organisations or famous people, telling site users to vote Republican and using a legally tenuous (see constructive dismissal law) ultimatum to bully and push out staff — the very people who enable Twitter to function properly.
