Matt Taibbi and Elon Musk MOCK David Leavitt for claiming Musk buying Twitter could destroy the planet

And we thought WE were the only ones who really laughed at (not with) poor David Leavitt. Heh.

There were plenty of mouth-breathers who were super worried about Elon Musk buying Twitter because they knew once he did, so much of the behind-the-curtain ugliness would make its way out … and it has. Granted, there are still some issues and hiccups with the platform BUT we know there’s a lot of work to do to fix the mess the old owners made of the social media giant.

David claiming Musk buying Twitter would result in WW3 and the destruction of our planet though?

Dude, yikes.

Matt Taibbi was good enough to share a screenshot of this oldie but ‘goodie’ tweet:

Somehow I missed that David Leavitt tweeted that Elon Musk acquiring Twitter could result in both World War III AND the destruction of the planet. Like Bob Beamon’s record long jump, that’s going to put the hyperbole bar way out of reach for a while: https://t.co/APG6XPXC9a https://t.co/MdxeufvjL6 pic.twitter.com/m7J7wP1wx5

And then Elon Musk himself chimed in:

Another case of parody & reality being indistinguishable

Except David is not a parody … although the way people respond to his tweets he might want to consider claiming he is.

That tweet wasn't parody. More like … idiocy.

Idiocy on steroids.

Yup.

liberals: violating Russia’s red line and making Ukraine a de facto NATO member does not risk nuclear war

also liberals: Elon acquiring the bird app risks nuclear war
