If you really think this was about ‘free speech’; I have an orange farm in Antarctica available for sale!

You know how you can’t turn away from a train wreck that’s about to happen because the carnage and destruction is both awesome and a terrible waste? Musk and Twitter is like that.

I would point out that bypassing the SWIFT system in order to transfer funds flies directly against the national interests of the US government and there may be significant push-back.

When it comes to money Uncle Sam is not a nice 800 pound gorilla. Uncle Sam’s principal ‘national interest’ is the defense of the dollar’s world wide reserve currency status.

Interesting you can’t respond with just an emoji but you have to have 20 characters…doc
Chuckle And Bezos bought the Washington Post to protect free speech too.
The irony in this is the fact that one of the first things Musk did as owner of Twitter was to post a completely false story about Nancy Pelosi’s husband fighting with a gay prostitute. Yay for free speech!?!
Interesting coincidence that Musk purchased the one company that had previously cost him millions in fines and punitive federal regulation due to his prior “free speech.”

If you’re selling NFTs, or really just about anything, you should use all sales channels that are cost effective. There’s no need to choose only one of the social media platforms. There are even tools out there that allow the simultaneous use of all the major social media platforms. Remember, when you’re selling an NFT, you need one buyer for it, and it doesn’t make much of a difference if they discovered it on twitter or on insta. A sale is a sale is a sale.
How did you come by it?

How do you know it’s completely false? When the news first came out it sounded very fishy to me. Now that the narrative is under wraps we’ll never know the truth.
Innocent until proven guilty but I don’t trust politicians, specially the ones in power.

Because it was completely at odds with the reporting in most major news sources.
Also because it defies common sense.

As we say in Spanish, I don’t have a candle in this wake so I’m not going to post any more on this thread.

Yah. Its due to inflation. A picture is now worth less than 20 characters.

Google is your friend. There is a video recording of the suspect breaking into the home.
So in the absence of verifiable truth, occam’s razor would lead you to more likely believe it was a fight with a gay prostitute instead of a break in?

Thanks for the laugh…doc
How about showing the video.
This is a funny story. I was playing golf with someone I didn’t know. I had a 20 foot putt for par. He says “if you make the putt I’ll give you my orange farm in Antarctica and if you miss I get the bridge you have in Brooklyn”. And I said “you’re on”! Needless to say I sank the putt and the rest is fantasy.

Mark,
I have 200 3D animations. I am waiting for copies to be offered as an option on Opensea. I aim to sell possibly 100 copies of each or potentially 20k low priced NFTs.
I am in a waiting position for now.
As far as Musk, he is creating a crypto platform. The free speech is a patriarch society thing when it comes to full blown die hard stuff. I think Musk just lets that ride. Then he sells EV to those ICE guys.
I use LinkedIn…which costs me $70 per month. Business people will and do pay to network. Twitter will be a networking company for the crypto world.

Exactly the point. Musk’s hubris will be the end of Twitter. Half of the San Francisco-based company’s staff of 7,500 were let go indiscriminately. Musk has no idea who he fired, what they were working on, or what kind of rival Twitter they could hatch.
Musk’s acquisitions have been successful with no intelligent development or insight from Musk.
Sometimes you catch the wrong wave…
In this case it’ll be a beach-crashing mess
