Oops I killed the nerve center of American journalism that constantly reported on my repeated business failure, legal and ethical malfeasance, sexual misadventures, and despicable origin.
Whoops.

Of note: At one point, he also looked out at the audience and said "Hey Bob, if you're in the audience," presumably in reference to Disney CEO Bob Iger who spoke on stage earlier. "That's how I feel, don't advertise," he added.
FFS. Tesla, SpaceX - what are you doing? Eject this chud now.

Ahh, the negotiator
I'm convinced the reason Musk rebranded away from Twitter is so that they can sell off the brand name when the business inevitably folds.
Since many. many people still call it twitter, he is still killing the brand name. Google tried to rebrand as alphabet and FB as Meta but everyone still knows them as goofle and fb.
If/When the business folds I feel the office furniture will be worth more than the Twitter brand.

Showed them!
Finally.
