 @872ab8e1 wow, he looks like shit lol. 
 @872ab8e1 is he melting in this picture? 
 @872ab8e1 'To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, "Busy now, please check back later." (To be fair, in this case "check back later" is a good summary of what happened.)'

excellent reporting 🙃 
 @872ab8e1 why are you using such a shady platform for your "official" account 
 @872ab8e1 Oh #Elon , you're such a dipshit 🙄 
 @872ab8e1 the wealthiest garbage human in the world 
 @872ab8e1 lol he cant even union bust right anymore...my man is slipping 
 @872ab8e1 yeah, Musk maybe a free speech absolutist but in practice it doesn't seem to reach the censor gnomes working there.  I have been x jailed for using a term for a cheap sex worker to describe Hunter's laptop.  They also think using the words cancer and dead in reference to a famous person who is neither dead nor has cancer is promoting violence. 
 @872ab8e1 what’s that thing on his chin? 
 @872ab8e1 Billionaire fascists and the criminal gop do not want unions.  They want slaves. 
 @872ab8e1 I would pay money to watch the GameStop guys do things to this company’s stock! If only it were still public. What kind of dirt does Elon have on his other investors that they are not making “corrections”. 
 @872ab8e1 
If feces had a face..... 
 @872ab8e1 Where does this asshole get the idea that his every whim should instantly become a reality? What if he himself fell victim to the totally arbitrary lawlessness that he seems to relish? 
 @872ab8e1 god he really is the definition of human trash. 
 @872ab8e1 
If you work at Tesla START A UNION. 
 @872ab8e1 LMAO this fuckin guy. 
 @872ab8e1 He’s worse than a union buster, comrade, which is bad enough, but he’s a strong man (he thinks he is). 
 @872ab8e1 going for the evil beard and failing 
 @872ab8e1 

Such a jackass… 
 @872ab8e1 He perma banned me quite quickly for distributing union informantion, 
 @872ab8e1 Seem like he's a coward, ashamed of his own shitty opinions. 
 @872ab8e1 JFC, can this fucking asshole be any more despicable??  #FuckElonMusk 
 @872ab8e1 @942766e9 why are you guys still pushing money to this guy? 
 @872ab8e1 who knew being a fascist cunt was so bad for the skin. 
 @872ab8e1 Elon's a pig 
 @872ab8e1 He found the receipt for the UAW's $8 
 @872ab8e1 

Shit like this is why you need to #DELETETWITTER 
 @872ab8e1 This sounds borderline illegal.  Like contract violation type stuff.

Though it's sort of fitting from someone anti-union. 
 @872ab8e1 They changed the account profile picture, which removes a check until it can be re-verified.

 @872ab8e1 he's really starting to look like a migrant 
 @872ab8e1 Do you know the difference between a crack addict and Uber rich lunatics like ol musky or the krapdashians? 
We have a chance the crack addict will get better.
The entire world knows there isn't a single shred of hope for the "more money than brains" set. Most are beyond sick and tired of all of their bs as if we need to know what these useless wastes of oxygen are doing. The only thing we want to know is if whatever it is will cause irreparable harm. Like everything musk does. 
 @872ab8e1 Free speech champion, my arse. 
 @872ab8e1 This is disgusting 
 @872ab8e1 He is crafting a nightmare. The whole enterprise is Apocalyptic.
