Wtf, this Twitter becoming x thing is for real? I swear every single time I hear about what that childike billionaire is doing I think it's either satire or fake... And then it actually happens

Do have to give him credit though, that was very efficient

Not enough money to pay for leases or employees, enough money to pay for a rebrand. Business genius.

A worthy successor to Trump in the "he did WHAT" category.

Who needs legal advice when you're a billionaire genius.

Apparently not him because he's also suing the law firm that Twitter hired to fight him when he tried to back out of the deal. His argument boils down to "Twitter overpaid because my excuses were so flimsy an intern could've beat me in court."

Suing a law firm is always a good idea.

I'm assuming he has a legal team on retainer and they're just milking him for all they can.

He's a joke. While I'm not a huge fan of zuck either, I enjoy the fact that threads is doing well. Twitter can become a right wing incel zone and most of us won't care or notice by the time it does.
