Musk failed to get the necessary permits to change Twitter’s building signage to X, and the police shut it down just in time for “er” to remain. (mastodon.social)

You need to have permits to change signs on your own building?

That is hilarious 🤣

I'm sure Musk is personally responsibly those things. I also heard he failed to clean bathrooms in this building.

I'm getting not liking him, but this blind brainless hate it's ridiculous.

It seems like this gets even more amusing about twice a day. Anyone wanna guess what might happen next?

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At some point Musk will get arrested. For what I haven't decided yet.

[–] HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Something sexual, I think. Even as recently as a few months ago, I would have said “he’s a jackass, but he’s not that stupid,” but now, well…

10 cars were broken into and 5 people were robbed while the police attended this matter. What a great deployment!

Surprised he actually got told no.

No that's not a joke, I'm genuinely surprised they stopped him because I fully expected him to get away with it.

[–] Slopz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

What a fucking joke lmao
