Well, the guy is selling DC powered autos named after the guy who "invented" AC.

If Trump is allowed to rejoin Twitter, he's gonna leave his MAGA investors at Truth Social high and dry, notwithstanding the fact that it was in the process of going belly-up anyway.

You read right but you be wrong because Musk is imitating Trump.

A newly published report has revealed that Elon Musk has refused to pay rent on Twitter’s San Francisco office space for several weeks.

The billionaire SpaceX owner is reportedly also refusing to pay a $200,000 bill for private flights that Musk took the week he completed the acquisition of the platform.

But it seems the situation is going from bad to worse. A source has also told the New York Times that Musk’s team is even exploring the legal consequences of not paying severance to the thousands of employees the company laid off after his takeover. Many fired employees are still waiting on paperwork formalizing their departure.

There already is a class action lawsuit against him.

Former Twitter employees file class-action lawsuit, alleging company targeted women in layoffs

Two female former Twitter employees have filed a class-action lawsuit against the company, alleging that layoffs that happened following Elon Musk’s acquisition disproportionately targeted women.

Carolina Strifling and Willow Turkal filed their complaint on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of San Francisco on behalf of themselves and other female employees who have lost their jobs in the “chaotic weeks” since Musk took over Twitter at the end of October.

If this keeps up, he will probably refuse to pay his attorneys too.

Elon Musk says Trump didn't violate Twitter's rules. The truth is more complicated

So far this evening, Musk has started banning any journalist critical of him. These include Aaron Rupar, Donnie O’Sullivan of CNN, Drew Harwell of The Washington Post, Ryan Mac ofThe New York Times, Matt Binder of Mashable, Micah Lee of the Intercept, and Keith Olbermann.

I wonder what our boy Whell thinks about this. Personally, I don't much care if Musk destroys Twitter. The world will be better off without it.

I am now beginning to wonder if Musk is losing it or has a grand plan because the last ones he should alienate are the reporters. Pen is mightier than the sword and they will prove it every which way till no end.

Aren't authors and reporters also some of the best content providers to Twitter and how does driving them off the site make any sense.

He is a thin-skinned far-right narcissist just like Trump.

Musk has repeatedly said he would like to permit all legal speech on the platform; in April, on the same day he announced he would purchase Twitter, he had tweeted: “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.”

Oops, Elon misspoke like Tricky Dicky. Look at the bright side, it can only get worse. If Twitter goes under via Chapter 11, their ex-employees are going to be stiffed which is what Musk has been wanting to do. He can always seek TFG's advice if needed.

SAN FRANCISCO (The Borowitz Report)—Shortly after Twitter suspended accounts that were tracking billionaires’ private planes, including Elon Musk’s, a new poll shows that most people who seek Musk's precise location are doing so to avoid him.

The poll, from the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, reveals that a visceral fear of encountering Elon Musk is what drives eighty-nine per cent of those who follow his movements.

Drilling down into the results, that percentage is even higher among people who work for Elon Musk.

The widespread anxiety about crossing paths with Musk bodes well for a new Twitter account, launched last night, which indicates locations where the Tesla C.E.O. is least likely to be found.

The account, @WhereElonIsnt, offers users real-time updates on safe spaces where they have virtually no chance of running into Musk, such as blood-donation centers and the Amtrak quiet car.

It seems Musk ran another poll, "people spoke" and has now reinstated most of the journalists he had suspended. But this action has also landed him hot water with the European commission and they are threatening fines. Like Trump, Elon is getting very boring to me to the point of who cares since his actions seem to be only to attract attention to himself.
