At the rate X is going...they need every penny they can get.
Based on what data, exactly? Link?
Good grief. So your take is that revenues are up, and the number of users is growing? I admit, costs are down...he fired half his workforce. Maybe like Aggie Football, he's still in a building year. Plus, Musk lost a bunch of users to Truth Social which is running like gangbusters.

And here is the unfortunate thing about sources these days...If the source is left leaning, they won't report, generally, on anything positive for things on the right....and the same is true with right leaning sources.

Either X is improving since Musk took over, or its not. My contention is the latter.

Exactly. And what other company can you by an electric car from that you can just throw away after 10 years bc no one will by it bc the battery's cost more than the car. They're the new cell phones (w/slightly higher price tag).

He's a highly intelligent guy. But being smart and owning the libs does not a great president make. I mean look at Trump, he had one of those and still couldn't drain the swamp.
1) No one on this thread mentioned Trump.

2) No one on this thread mentioned Musk for president.

3) No one on this thread mentioned Tesla.

4) No one talked about owning the libs


Elon for POTUS was on page one. No one mentions rockets at first...until they did and people replied. There's a common thread here and you'll see it if you try a little.

We all know media matters leans left. So yes, taking them down is the Schadenfreude of owning the libs.

ETA: And on page 4 here someone mentioned loving how 'Musk triggers the libs here'. Which is funny because now you are no longer a conservative if you disagree with anything Musk related. There must be some F16 handbook of how to know if your an 'real' conservative beyond they historical tenets of conservatives. I haven't seen it but I do know they require believing the election was stolen, Jan 6 was a false flag instigated by the FBI/DOJ, Trump is the only one who can save the world.....But I digress...no one mentioned those things.....

Well, that is the great thing about private companies. They don't need quarterly earnings. Measuring improvement by quarterly cash flow is pretty short sighted.

Musk has the most valuable consumer trend-based AI training data in the world. A little negative cash flow isn't going to hurt.

What does that exactly mean to you?

Would you say that winning a defamation lawsuit is "owning the libs"? You are making that into one of those squishy terms that has no meaning.

A major defamation win against Media Matters is not just winning in the eyes of public opinion with a mean tweet. It is holding liars accountable for illegal business practices.

In the previous two sentences, is the latter the same thing as the former in your eyes?

Pretty weird stuff here.

Two guys who just left Paxtons office grab a local attorney and file in fort worth. Paxton simultaneously announces he will begin a criminal investigation. Then em describes his own lawsuit as thermonuclear, which is about as far away as this suit could be.

After reading the petition, I doubt mm is to worried about this. Their attorneys fees will be worth about 10% of the free publicity

Leftist loses their **** over Nazis saying they hate Jews

But switch out swastika flags for Palestinian flags and suddenly those exact same leftists can't agree enough with the exact same message

That's BluHorseShu, the obvious conservative, you're talking to.

Nobody thinks you're conservative based on the totality of your posting history. You seem to be the only one who is fooled.

If that dude claims he's a conservative, that's trolling at its best.

Yeah I heard "Happy Friends Giving " on tv yesterday yesterday …. It's so blatant these days, trying to force change ….

Without the Pilgrims and Indians having a big dinner party I wouldn't get to take a week off and raise my cholesterol and drink like I've never had alcohol….

I don't get to take a week off just to have a drink with fiends .. that's a weekly event, nothing special about Friends Giving slogan

Maybe so, but it looks like OpenAI is now at the point where their AI can generate its own training data. Meaning the data that it generates is better quality data than is generated by humans.

Bud Light was king too, but that didn't stop the consumers from boycotting and knocking that king off its perch. democrats are just being hypocrites because they know their protestations against X are nothing but fluff to feed their mindless drones.

Twitter is like plastic. Everyone who tells you they hate it actually use it more than 99% of the rest of the world. .

How many times has Keith Olbermann quit twitter? He was "done for good" a week ago. He's posted over 20 times today alone. Libs just can't quit twitter

The interesting thing to me is the hypocrisy, just because it was/is Democrat partisans trying to destroy Elon/x etc. They still have a business to run, though. My SWAG is that it's not just volume/reach, but there are a lot more 'persuadable' people on twitter than meta/insta/tik-tok etc.

Probably an oversimplification as there are more younger voters/idiots on tik tok than anywhere else, but in general I am just guessing. $90K from Adam Schiff is just hilarious. In any case, 2024 might be in the $10 billion range for political ad spending, net, given inflation etc.

$1 million from dems on twitter might as well be pocket change. trump alone spent over $60 million on google and facebook ads between january and may 2020.

but nortex is right, politicians are all hypocrites and will gladly spend ad dollars on whatever platform gets their message across to potential voters, owners' politics notwithstanding.
