“Did you sign this?”
“Well, yes.”
“Ok.”

Bro didn't read the entire ToS. Rest in piss.
And now to play Elon a song as his lawyers exit the court...
You must have Riker on speed dial. ;)
I live to post that picture sometimes.
Removing the requirements for a lawyer to review his tweets would immediately result in him getting hit even harder by the SEC because he has an inability to keep his cock holster shut.
He wouldn't be able to help himself and he would immediately start fucking with Tesla stock again, landing him in legal trouble.
If it wasn't likely to ruin the lives of Tesla shareholders by making the stock unstable I would say let him do it.
Tesla shareholders are gambling addicts that will lose their money sooner or later anyway. Tesla is not worth more than all the rest of the car industry put together, and the bubble will burst at some point.
The rest of the car industry caught up, so Tesla's market cap is no longer more than the rest of the car industry put together.
On the other hand, had any other company gave the Q1 earnings call that Tesla gave last week their stock would have cratered.
Which is exactly why Musk is agitating to get the lawyer requirement dropped.
The whole reason why he got in that situation in the first place is because he was running his mouth about having enough money to take Tesla private, he didn't, But the stock value went through the roof anyway.
Lawyers for the billionaire businessman say that the “Twitter sitter” provision in an agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission violated his free speech rights.
Hrm… you agreed to it. Was a gun to your head? Kinda seems like you regret your actions.
I can't imagine being a billionaire and being this involved in day to day operations. I'd be completely removed from the public eye
Youre not a sociopath. Sociopath+Money=Elon
Those people stop at millions.
Elon wants to be both rich and cool. He was close for a bit when he had a PR team to manage his image, so for a while folks thought he was on some Tony Stark shit. Then he canned the PR guys.
He didn't get rich from being cool, so when he tries to be cool he now ends out just displaying how deeply uncool he is. Like a dad asking which character is Mario when you're playing Lethal Company, or showing you a "cool new meme" and its the badger song.
Because he's stupid rich he gets people willing to slob his knob anyhow.
If I was stupid rich I'd be doing weird rich people shit like building a floating collosseum in the middle of the ocean and pay per viewing death matches between convicts, not trying to get likes on twitter for 10 year old boomer memes.
Twitter is his hobby… don’t take that away from him…
