he did. the fact he had to borrow the cash is irrelevant, he now owes someone 44B.

I do think he was essentially forced to buy it.
he was, but it doesn’t contradict what i said. if he had a way to back out of his stupid bragging offer for 1b, and all he cared about was money, the reasonable thing would be to pay the fine, instead of paying 44 billion for something that doesn’t generate profit.
More to the point though, I do wonder why he didn’t just pay the billion dollars to get out of the deal
I don’t know that he’s not in it for the money.
your first sentence explains he is not in it for money, if money were the concern, eating the 1b fine would be logical thing to do (i am not fact checking that 1b piece of information, i trust you on this).
with his 270 billion net worth - which by the way includes assets not necessarily liquid cash
that’s how it works, no one has 270 billion in cash
I think the point is to destroy it so he doesn’t have to pay back what he borrowed to buy it.
that doesn’t make sense, destroying twitter doesn’t absolve him of obligation to return money he borrowed.
it’s just that he could take big risks
yes, that is definitely part of his success. and since this strategy got him to position of richest person in the world, it is pretty clear that “genius at losing money” is not really accurate description of situation.
as for twitter, he clearly is not in it for the money, otherwise he wouldn’t be there to begin with. he originally hoped to buy position of cheered and admired hero and when he failed, he settled for a position of hated douchebag. infamous still means people know you, i guess 🤷♂️
that’s why he is the richest person in the world with 270B net worth.
look, i hate the asshole as much as the other guy, but changing meaning of words and underestimating the enemy never helped anyone.
Sure, but for now you can still go through the settings and disable that whitelist
ok, i honestly had no idea, i am just happy with ubo.
That is true and false. Adblock plus takes money
so, it is true then.
Adblock plus takes money to whitelist ads, do not give them single cent.
Firefox has container tabs for this exact sort of things, whatever is inside is hermetically separated and cannot leak into other tabs, but It is desktop feature.
Short of walking up to strangers and asking, “hey, can I compare your feed to mine?"
You can create your own alternative accounts…
you must have really generously designed roads wherever you are 😂
and where do the bikes stop if there is not enough space?
you might be thinking about airplanes.
So, dream on, your car-centric “utopia” doesn’t exist.
oh the car-centric dystopia definitely exists, unlike your cargo-bike one.
you see, there is not necessarily cult on the other side that fights with your cult just because you have another flag. maybe the other side commented on your thoughts because they see a problem in them and that is how you can improve. you will see that, when you get out of your basement one day.
ok, i fixed that 😆
i will ignore that you are not person i was asking and this is not an answer to my question and i will answer to this irrelevant randomly placed piece of information.
You can’t even park a van for streets sometimes.
and you can park cargo bike there? how are you going to do that? do the parked cars suddenly disappear?
or are going to just illegally park it on the sidewalk, because rules don’t apply to you? do you think people will still tolerate it when there isn’t going to be one bike parked on the sidewalk, but twenty?
the think is, you (general you, not you personally) always think some problems don’t affect bikes, just because they are rather curiosity right now.
if you had successfully managed to replace all delivery vans with cargo bikes, you would put on surprised pikachu face finding you actually need more parking space than before.
yes, that may be true in specific circumstances.
if they can fit in between two cars, waiting on light stop, they can get ahead of them. that maybe true in traffic jam in city center.
this advantage goes away once:
so not really useful for discussion about cargo bikes, is it?
Wouldn’t that technology make them easy to rewind fast-forward?
Really? Where is here, so I can find more info about it?
would you like to hear the udp joke? you might not get it, but I don’t really care that much
