    It must be pretty frustrating for employees to watch Mr Bossman lose the company $75 million because he just couldn’t stay away from antisemitic tweets, when any of them would probably be fired for EITHER a $500k mistake OR a hate tweet.

    I guess hate speech really was Elon’s endgame all along. Being antisemitic on Twitter, with impunity, is the whole reason he bought it. The big idea.

    I can’t imagine having such a petty, small dream.

        He is also the Ice King in Adventure Time. He last worked on a spinoff series called Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake.

        Patchy is Tom Kenny

        Tom Kenny is SpongeBobs voice, as well as checks notes nearly every iconic game/animated character from late 90s through the 00s

        Probably later but I was an adult by the mid 10s and thus fell out a bit with that knowledge

      I think that figure is supposed to be since the Gaza war started (i.e. since October 7), not year-to-date.

    Its the dumbest thing. Like, say for a second they’re correct and the Jewish people really rule the world: how are you gonna succeed if you’re fucking with them?
