Well, kids … it looks like it’s finally official for real again. For real this time. All your Twitter are belong to Elon Musk.

Well alrighty then.
this seems fair https://t.co/BKLtF2t9qH

It does seem pretty reasonable. And that makes a lot of liberals very, very nervous.
This is obviously why people who are losing their shit over this need to calm down, not that he is saying he wants to make the world a nicer place or whatever. But that he’s talking to advertisers and selling them on a plan. He isn’t intending to burn $44 billion to own the libs. https://t.co/sKKl1IepWE

This has been apparent from the beginning and everyone who has been either extremely exited or extremely sad about him taking over has been delusional.

Elon Musk is not some kind of savior. But he’s also not the spawn of Satan. And yet there a whole lot of liberals out there who believe exactly that.
once you step back from the psychodrama that is the culture war you’ll shake loose & be like “why would someone spend $44 billion just to hurt my feelings? Moreover why would someone who voted Obama twice and John Kerry and al gore and Joe Biden spend $44B on electing Mussolini?”

I mean it’s not like the other rich people who own companies you use like you and agree with your thoughts. They put up with you and your opinions because they like money.

“I will leave Twitter the second Elon ones it,” the person typed on their phone that was made in a wage slavery mill overseas.

In his snarky thread, Ben Dreyfuss is referring to people like writer, lawyer, and popular Twitter lib @nycsouthpaw, who, to read his tweet, you’d think is ready to leave behind all his earthly possessions and retreat to the safety of a subterranean cave somewhere:
I hate the idea that one toxic jerk can just buy this community and wreck it. I wish it wasn’t about to happen. I’m going to miss all of you and miss what it was.
— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) October 27, 2022
Do you need a tissue, southpaw? At least let us help you find a good therapist.
Can we call someone for you? Please tell us you’re safe.
— The Dank Knight 🦇 (@capeandcowell) October 27, 2022
Don’t worry. He’s safe. But he’s definitely not OK. So very many people are definitely not OK.
Remember we've all done this before, we're pros. Usenet, yahoo questions, our old wow guild website, something awful, reddit and most recently the forums at the lemon party website.
We just need to go together. Have you figured it out?

See also, basically, our country.

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye …
— Kate Brannen (@K8brannen) October 27, 2022
Spoiler alert: None of these people will actually leave Twitter under Elon Musk.
But they will have further exposed themselves as the strange, sad little people that they are.
I have not used the term “snowflake” unironically in quite some time. https://t.co/7BOPnD3qyl

@nycsouthpaw at all are textbook snowflakes. Textbook.
If you tap your heels together as you cry just a bit harder, maybe your wishes will come true.

We’re torn. On the one hand, we think people like @nycsouthpaw need to grow up. But on the other, we’d genuinely miss the free comedic content that they provide.

This is genuinely funny. Well done.
