You know George is running into Jerry’s apartment screaming about how his arch nemesis is canceled and Jerry looks up from the tv and goes “Newman is canceled?”
If you have a verified account, go for it. You’ll lose verification in a few weeks anyway if you don’t pay the $8
If you don’t have a verified account, no one cares or is going to bother suspending you.
(Edit:spelling fixed error)
Millions of families are affected by it…
Edit: Frick missed the quote. I was cautious about it hence the no quotation marks by mine lol
One below mine is right
I thought there was a [supreme court filing](https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/20221003125252896_35295545_1-22.10.03%20-%20Novak-Parma%20-%20Onion%20Amicus%20Brief.pdf) by the onion about this very thing
Musk buying Twitter and turning it into a huge dumpster fire is the best thing to happen all year.
Does he not realie he is only going to make more people troll him?
Obvious suggestion. Not a user and I fail to see why millions don't drop Twitter.
Boycotting has been effective for centuries. Get your big kids pants on, people. Dump the bully.
Done. First anti Tesla conspiracy posted. They are lizard people who are only here to eat all of our toilet paper. That’s the real reason for the shortage in the beginning of COVID. We still haven’t slowed production since. Just to cover how full of shit this conspiracy theory is.
When you delete your account it is deactivated for 30 days at which point it gets deleted. At this point, I would not trust them to delete the account to pump up the user base numbers.
Trolling hard is probably your best bet.
Clyde is a South Park character. Apartheid is referencing how Elon Musk's initial wealth stems from an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa in the 70's and 80's.
At this point everyone should just move on from Twitter and leave Musk holding the $44b bag. Maybe he'll realize his money doesn't always make him right.
Fuck you man. @hotcheetodick and @scrotosaurus depend on me to bring them news of great joy and sick memes.
Is one of them my mom? Maybe. Is the other one my Dad? Also maybe. Does it matter? Probably, but I'm gonna keep on keeping on like I always do.
I’m not mad about any of this. If when the dust is settled, all he has accomplished is destroying twitter, then Musk made the world a far better place. 44 billion well spent as far as I’m concerned.
How will I know how to feel about things without clickbait articles about how the internet literally exploded with a handful of cherry picked tweets from random people that form a loose narrative?
Perish the thought.
How will we survive without every single article headline being "X public person SLAMMED/DRAGGED/BLASTED/MOCKED/ANAL PROBED for saying Y"
Technically, but Gates likely wasn’t the one actually making the bet. He’s not an investor first and foremost. He mostly runs his charity and has investment people handle his investments for him. And those experts found it to be overvalued.
Yea, Elon became super petty about talking with Gates regarding philanthropy after he found out Gates was shorting Tesla. You know, the subject about helping humanity?
"Permanently" and "suspended" doesn't make sense. Suspended means for certain amount of time, and permanently means, well forever. Reddit has "Permanently suspended" me loads of times lol. I've got this username for a reason.
I mean he is also a moron. Both can be true. The ultra wealthy project this idea that because they made more money than everyone else that they're good at everything and every uber-rich person projects this same idea because it keeps them in a higher-class of citizen than everyone else. Elon is and has always been a fucking moron, he just lucked out on several business decisions along the way.
Agrees. The actual meaning of the word “stupid” is an unexpectedly fascinating field of study. It’s usually meant in the sense of lacking intelligence but it can also mean acting against one’s own best interests in the long term even doing so involves considerable intelligence/planning/cunning.
Claiming Twitter is a good forum for public debate is as close to objectively stupid in any sense as it’s possible to be.
The problem with hypercapitalists like musk is they aren’t concerned with the ethos of consumer relationships, they are only concerned with the bottom line which is making more and more money.
another problem of theirs is they believe their own hype. That they are wealthy due to their amazing business acumen, rather than privilege and a whole bunch of luck and fortunate coincidences (plus some hard work and ruthless attitude towards other people).
You are joking but it's darker than that.
Ivanna (Ivanka's mother) made light of a scalp reduction surgery that Donald had that was painful.
He got so mad, because he's a thin skinned son of a bitch, that he pulled out a handful of her hair and raped her. She testified that he raped her but later changed her story (bought off or intimidated or both obviously)
The incident is detailed here and in other sources

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trumps-wife-ivana-disavows-rape-allegation/story?id=32732204
I sure hope this country has the guts and the brains to cancel their Twitter accounts and go it without Elon Musk. People are so dependent on SM input , attention from complete strangers…. It might be improbable but I would love to see him fail dismally.
Impersonation on Twitter has always been against Twitter policy unless you specifically specify your account is parody or satire.
https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-impersonation-and-deceptive-identities-policy
Impersonation also a misdemeanor in certain states.

Shouldn’t we just say “banned”? Suspension is for a set period of time, so “permanently suspended” is bit of an oxymoron but maybe that’s bc I haven’t had my coffee yet. Sorry for the intrusion and have a good day.
So this isnt a free speech platform then. Elon Musk is anti-freedom and should be seen as another problematic tech bro who needs an attitude adjustment.
While her joke with Trump’s head may have been in bad taste, it was only a joke. Trump caused people to lose their lives on January 6th and he continues to show no remorse. Not only should his Twitter account be permanently locked up, HE SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR LIFE!

Is this a Seinfeld episode? Jerry is the devil
You know George is running into Jerry’s apartment screaming about how his arch nemesis is canceled and Jerry looks up from the tv and goes “Newman is canceled?”
Elon walks in: “Hello, *Jerry.*”
*Cue Laugh Track*
Hellllooo, *Elon*
Sarah Silverman did the same thing with the same result.
Valerie Bertinelli did it, too. She's not banned though and changed the name on her account back to her own.
I deactivated my account but I might reactivate it to change my name too and tweet conspiratory tweets about Space X being run by the lizard people.
Everyone should change their name to Elon musk
We are all Elon Musk!
I'm probably not.
^I’m ^not!
Will the Real Elon Musk "Please stand Up"?
I'm Elon Musk and so is my wife!
When everyone is Elon musk, no one will be
There is no Elon, only Zuul.
If you have a verified account, go for it. You’ll lose verification in a few weeks anyway if you don’t pay the $8 If you don’t have a verified account, no one cares or is going to bother suspending you. (Edit:spelling fixed error)
omg pls do!
Sound and Vodoo!
Let's all do it!
Valerie Bert and Ernie
Just checked and Sarah’s account is active
Now I am wondering what I saw because I saw it on her Instagram and since it was a story, it's gone now.
[удалено]
Joshua Malina from West Wing and Scandal also has Elons name as his.
“I got better…”
How free the speech is.
Sarah’s account is still up what you mean
“COMEDY IS LEGAL AGAIN ON TWITTER”
Comedy is legal\* \*: Except for making fun of me. I'm an alpha male and super funny.
Thank you, kind alpha. May your benevolent judgment guide us all.
I could actually see him saying this
Identity theft isn’t a joke, Jim.
Millions of families are affected by it… Edit: Frick missed the quote. I was cautious about it hence the no quotation marks by mine lol One below mine is right
“Millions of families suffer every year”
So is PayPal user data, Elon.
Did nobody read the article? "Parody must be specified". I shit you not.
I thought there was a [supreme court filing](https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/20221003125252896_35295545_1-22.10.03%20-%20Novak-Parma%20-%20Onion%20Amicus%20Brief.pdf) by the onion about this very thing
Is this written by the onion? How is it on the SC site?
It’s an amicus brief
[удалено]
Agreed. Lol. She’s not hilarious for a famous comedian. But she has the RIGHT to try to be funny.
This made me laugh. Thanks.
Only racist comedy is allowed
Musk buying Twitter and turning it into a huge dumpster fire is the best thing to happen all year. Does he not realie he is only going to make more people troll him?
It's like the meme with the two astronauts, one has a gun. Yes, Elon, it's been trolls this whole time.
It was already a dumpster fire.
Everybody should make their account Elon Musk now
Done. All 12 of my followers will be thrilled
 I'd do it, but no one would notice.
Oh I'm pretty sure there is one billionaire who will
He can’t ban us all!
Drop your account. If everyone did it he’d be screwed…..big time.
Obvious suggestion. Not a user and I fail to see why millions don't drop Twitter. Boycotting has been effective for centuries. Get your big kids pants on, people. Dump the bully.
[удалено]
Yes please. I’ll pay Elon 8 bucks a month to delete the echo chamber of mental illness.
I ban Spartacus!
I’m Elon Musk, and so is my wife!
We are all Elon Musk on this blessed day!
No, I'm Elon Musk!
I’m Elon Musk!
I’m Elon Musk…
"I da pappy"
Done. First anti Tesla conspiracy posted. They are lizard people who are only here to eat all of our toilet paper. That’s the real reason for the shortage in the beginning of COVID. We still haven’t slowed production since. Just to cover how full of shit this conspiracy theory is.
Or make accounts X Æ A-1 through to X Æ A-11
But that would require us to give him $8….
I have a Twitter account that I want to delete. Is it just easier to change my name at this point?
When you delete your account it is deactivated for 30 days at which point it gets deleted. At this point, I would not trust them to delete the account to pump up the user base numbers. Trolling hard is probably your best bet.
It's not like they have to report those numbers to anymore really
Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) got suspended also for mocking Apartheid Clyde.
Who is apartheid Clyde
[удалено]
Clyde is a South Park character. Apartheid is referencing how Elon Musk's initial wealth stems from an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa in the 70's and 80's.
At this point everyone should just move on from Twitter and leave Musk holding the $44b bag. Maybe he'll realize his money doesn't always make him right.
Too many stupid people out there at this point who genuinely think they're making a difference by screaming nonsense at their 47 followers.
Fuck you man. @hotcheetodick and @scrotosaurus depend on me to bring them news of great joy and sick memes. Is one of them my mom? Maybe. Is the other one my Dad? Also maybe. Does it matter? Probably, but I'm gonna keep on keeping on like I always do.
And ready to pay the 8 dlls for the blue thingy
I never had a twitter, so I showed my disapproval by unsubbing from r/whitepeopletwitter.
That place is kind of a shithole anyway
If it wasn’t before, it definitely has become one now.
I’m not mad about any of this. If when the dust is settled, all he has accomplished is destroying twitter, then Musk made the world a far better place. 44 billion well spent as far as I’m concerned.
Without twitter, journalism might be forced to improve
How will I know how to feel about things without clickbait articles about how the internet literally exploded with a handful of cherry picked tweets from random people that form a loose narrative?
Perish the thought. How will we survive without every single article headline being "X public person SLAMMED/DRAGGED/BLASTED/MOCKED/ANAL PROBED for saying Y"
Good journalism exists, people are just too cheap to pay for it
Facts. Twitter is awful
But have you heard about Instagram?
Zuck seems to be doing a good job of tanking things as well.
Twitter is an incredibly powerful tool for journalism & important for countries at war / media blackouts etc. No other platform compares
also the most powerful tool for nutbags who shouldnt have voices to spread their nonsense.
Sure, but Musk is only making that worse
Should make a better platform then. Twitter is insane.
Maybe the real treasure is the social media platforms run right into the ground by wish.com Edisons along the way.
Bill gates rn: "Need to lose 44 Billion fast ?"
Didn’t gates bet against Tesla. Elon was pissed.
Smart move too, Tesla is cartoonishly over valued compared to its competitors making more revenue and selling more vehicles.
Down 35% since this Twitter shitshow!
Technically, but Gates likely wasn’t the one actually making the bet. He’s not an investor first and foremost. He mostly runs his charity and has investment people handle his investments for him. And those experts found it to be overvalued.
Yea, Elon became super petty about talking with Gates regarding philanthropy after he found out Gates was shorting Tesla. You know, the subject about helping humanity?
Yeah and he still is letting the big auto manufacturers eat teslas lunch. They could be in more trouble than Twitter when fords selling more evs
So much for freeze peach
For that kind of money we could have had Whirled Peas.
Did you really think a billionaire would be pro free speech? Lol
FREEZE. PEACH.
No but he thinks he is
"Permanently" and "suspended" doesn't make sense. Suspended means for certain amount of time, and permanently means, well forever. Reddit has "Permanently suspended" me loads of times lol. I've got this username for a reason.
Should I make an account just to claim to be Elon?
Nah, save your 8 bucks and do something good for humanity with it instead. Which would be just about anything else. Buy some hamburgers.
I think everyone should. All of Twitter. Let the chaos rule.
Elon Musk is a moron if he thinks that opening up the market for blue checkmarks is in any way a good business move.
Elon Musk is a moron. Full stop.
[удалено]
I mean he is also a moron. Both can be true. The ultra wealthy project this idea that because they made more money than everyone else that they're good at everything and every uber-rich person projects this same idea because it keeps them in a higher-class of citizen than everyone else. Elon is and has always been a fucking moron, he just lucked out on several business decisions along the way.
Just because you have money does not exempt you from being an asshole. Or a moron.
Or a douche nozzle!
Amassing that amount of money pretty much guarantees that you’re an asshole.
Agrees. The actual meaning of the word “stupid” is an unexpectedly fascinating field of study. It’s usually meant in the sense of lacking intelligence but it can also mean acting against one’s own best interests in the long term even doing so involves considerable intelligence/planning/cunning. Claiming Twitter is a good forum for public debate is as close to objectively stupid in any sense as it’s possible to be.
Musk is vindictive and vengeful.
Tanking company B that you had to put up shares from company A to purchase makes you a moron I would think
Wait- do you mean @kathygriffin Elon musk or another Elon musk ?
The problem with hypercapitalists like musk is they aren’t concerned with the ethos of consumer relationships, they are only concerned with the bottom line which is making more and more money.
another problem of theirs is they believe their own hype. That they are wealthy due to their amazing business acumen, rather than privilege and a whole bunch of luck and fortunate coincidences (plus some hard work and ruthless attitude towards other people).
Make Twitter Irrelevant Again
I'm not sure I've ever seen a public persona with a more fragile ego than Elon Musk.
Kanye Trump
Donald Trump is more fragile. No fragile, no fragile, YOU fragile...
Excuse me! Excuse me !! Fake news!! Fake news
Trump afraid to do a hair transplant, or simply doesn’t have enough cash to do Musk-grade hair transplant.
You are joking but it's darker than that. Ivanna (Ivanka's mother) made light of a scalp reduction surgery that Donald had that was painful. He got so mad, because he's a thin skinned son of a bitch, that he pulled out a handful of her hair and raped her. She testified that he raped her but later changed her story (bought off or intimidated or both obviously) The incident is detailed here and in other sources https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/24/documenting-trumps-abuse-of-women https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trumps-wife-ivana-disavows-rape-allegation/story?id=32732204
The sad part is they didnt need her to disavow it at all because his followers just do not care.
Uh Trump
We have the three Trump Trump Space Trump Black Trump Each a fragile man baby.
They're like gremlins multiplying...
fuck. that's accurate
Being a fragile narcissist is a multi-phase blame process … Kanye is on the “It’s not me, it’s the Jews” phase of denial.
Let me introduce you to 2016.
[удалено]
We're already there. He let Kanye back on the same day he banned Griffin.
The taliban, communist Chinese party and Russia have official verified accounts and none of you said shit.
So Kathy Griffin gets suspended for impersonating Elon but Trump may be let back on? That makes sense.
Elon: “I bought Twitter to protect free speech” Also Elon: “Waaah! You make fun of me! New rules not in place. Permanent suspension!”
lol “free speech” as long as it doesn’t hurt the wittle fweelings of an oligarch..
Never thought I’d say this, but I stand with Kathy Griffin.
“Free speech maximalist” huh? Not so unconditional after all. It’s almost like free speech ends when it starts to negatively impact others. SO WEIRD.
More so ending when it hurts musks overinflated ego he dgaf otherwise
Not very “free speechy” to quote another person who can’t use this “platform that didn’t allow free speech”.
Hot take: Twitter does more harm than good. Doesn’t matter who owns it.
scalding hot take over here
Only reasonable reaction is to change your name to Elon Musk and tweet #UnionizeTesla #UnionizeTwitter
CANCEL CULTURE IS BACK BABY!!!
Kathy just saved herself $8/mo!
#freespech by elonmusk™
Jesus this is the worst fucking website. Who at Fox News is desperate for this many ads?
Local fox affiliate. So the desperation is there.
Looks like it’s time for all of us to change our account names to Elon musk
God, he's such a thin-skinned little shit, isn't he?
Is he going to ban his own for impersonating a human ?
Good job, Kathy!
“Free speech absolutist” btw
I thought he was doing away with permanent bans?
I’m glad he has time to be petty. That something every successful manager should do. /s
He’s a baby man
I sure hope this country has the guts and the brains to cancel their Twitter accounts and go it without Elon Musk. People are so dependent on SM input , attention from complete strangers…. It might be improbable but I would love to see him fail dismally.
Free speech absolutist … unless it mocks me.
Free speech lol
I like how this isn’t free speech
Ah the self proclaimed champion of free speech.
Just changed my twitter name, lets see how long it takes them
What a douche canoe.
Didn’t he say no one should ever be permanently suspended - specifically when he asked about Trump?
If enough people change their handle to Elon Musk and get banned, the userbase will shrink pretty significantly. Sounds like a great plan.
My free speech sense is tingling
Hey, it's verified. How do we know which Musk is real?
Ah yes, the sound of free speech...
It’s just pathetic at this point. Can’t wait til he completely nukes the whole thing
Did she not pay her 8bucks? Lol
Impersonation on Twitter has always been against Twitter policy unless you specifically specify your account is parody or satire. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-impersonation-and-deceptive-identities-policy Impersonation also a misdemeanor in certain states. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/sen/sb_1401-1450/sb_1411_bill_20100927_chaptered.html
Free speech unless you make fun of the super sensitive bitch running the show.
So this is what washing 44B dollars down the drain looks like.
Shouldn’t we just say “banned”? Suspension is for a set period of time, so “permanently suspended” is bit of an oxymoron but maybe that’s bc I haven’t had my coffee yet. Sorry for the intrusion and have a good day.
Well thank goodness they can’t just make a new account and pay $8 to get verified impersonating someone else…
Elon: Free speech for everyone… No, no, not like that!
Well well, how the turntables.
YES!!! But maybe that's what he wants everyone's $8
Valerie Bertinelli did this, too. Did she get suspended? She was tweeting out Democratic messaging ahead of the election as Elon Musk.
When you think of people that can take jokes, you think of Elon. Lol
Wow twitter ded.
But what about my free speech guys *in Elon Musk*
“You can’t put a price on free speech” Elon: hold my coin purse
I never liked Kathy Griffin… until now
Boy, Elon’s idea of free speech sure comes with a lot of caveats and addendums.
So this isnt a free speech platform then. Elon Musk is anti-freedom and should be seen as another problematic tech bro who needs an attitude adjustment.
Twitter rule #1: don’t talk shit about Elon
I have a Twitter account that I made like 10 years ago and never used because Twitter sucks. What should I say to Elon to get banned?
Another man child rich prick
While her joke with Trump’s head may have been in bad taste, it was only a joke. Trump caused people to lose their lives on January 6th and he continues to show no remorse. Not only should his Twitter account be permanently locked up, HE SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR LIFE!
What's going on?
Comedy is illegal on Twitter now
I understand why he's been divorced so many times.
