Cont: Musk buys Twitter II

The buckle or bow on a hat band is usually on the left.
None of my various hats have one on the right.
 
Dude looks rough lately. Hard mileage since even the recent "let this sink in" photo.

All the money in the world and this dude seems desperately unhappy.

It looks like an Barrett M82, so an anti-materiel rifle rather than a sniper rifle.

Hilariously this article has the headline "Watch: Elon Musk "Hip-Firing" A Rifle Like A Pro". I'm pretty sure that the pros don't fire 50 cal rifles from the hip - not if they want to hit anything.

Correct, I was thoughtlessly echoing media posts after a quick search and later even mused on that myself.
 
i do want to also point out the angle that the world's richest man went down to the border to shake his head at some of the most desperate people on the planet and pretended to be a cowboy. just due to the way he treats people on a regular basis, even if his hat is on correctly, i'd say go ahead and mock him anyway.

To me, it’s even funnier if it was on correctly. Such thin skin.
 
you know if you had asked me last week the right way to wear a cowboy hat i would have said "on your head"

Stetson say he was wearing it correctly.

Thanks for the correction.

And now he's moaning about Trudeau crushing free speech in Canada, and migrants in NY. Does he think he's king of the world or something?

Yesterday Musk's twitter was a sea of blue checks cheerfully sharing videos of a nice young man getting stabbed in an unprovoked attack and dying in front of his girlfriend on their way home from a wedding, so it seems a fair enough demarcation point.

Twitter is indistinguishable from 4chan now.

Jesus! This is horrific. I also notice that this is an incident that Bogative is cackling over in another thread. This new strain of sick brain worms that the right-wing have is a new level of despicable.

And yeah, I’m glad I pulled the plug on my Twitter account last month.
 
I don't have Twitter anymore either, but the community notes of a takedown of Musk and his use of Russian propaganda highlights thousands of likes disappearing from it and linking to a tracker for the likes disappearing.

You know, 'free speech'.
 
The SEC is suing Elon Musk to force his testimony in their investigation of potential fraud during his purchase of Twitter.

Musk made several, stupid, excuses as to why he was refusing to comply...after his lawyers argued that he did comply.

Musk's heel turn is really impressive. It's hard to believe that only a few years ago he was a media darling, a real life Tony Stark type figure.

Buying Twitter and running it into the ground seems to have rapidly accelerate his decline into a laughingstock at best, malicious moron at worst.

The "Time Man Of the Year" curse strikes again.
That is the idea that people who win the TIme Man Of The Year award have their life begin to go downhill immediately after. No, I don't believe n the curse, but it does seem to have happened here.

Regression to the mean. If you’re at the top, there’s only one way to go.

Yep. See also curse of the Nobel Prize, of the manager of the month, of best supporting actress.

It’s no surprise that when someone gets an award for doing something exceptional that they don’t keep being exceptional.
 
Trump could be man of the year again. In 2024, he might be the most significant person alive.
