Oh look, another article giving him the attention he so craves.

Can we just not?

We’re pointing and laughing, that’s different.

How do you point and laugh at something without giving it attention?

We may be giving him attention, but it’s not like we’re clicking his ads or buying his stocks (stocX?).

I mean arguably its moreso giving Wikipedia the attention it deserves and can materially capitalize up the ass. Sorry, this is one Elon Musk Show episode I can get behind. Its for the public good even if his intentions are inverse to that. Wikipedia is way fucking bigger than Elon Musk imao

As much as it sucks, this is newsworthy. Not taking him seriously is how Twitter got ruined. Well, super-ruined anyway. It was already kinda crap.

No, cause Wikimedia wouldn’t let him buy it in a million years

It’s really not. Him making a serious offer and then actually having to buy Twitter was notable tech news. Him musing about Wikipedia is not.

Him musing about Twitter was how it started.
