He's delusional. Someone earlier said they think he'll go bankrupt in 3 years but IMO we're more likely to see this guy OD or die of heart failure. His kids are going to be thrilled when he dies, that's for sure.

Of course they are. All of them hate him (with good reason) and they'll get a major payday.

Despite my perpetual depression and shitty life, at least I'm fairly sure there is no one actively rooting for my death or waiting to celebrate when it happens, so that's nice.

Quite the opposite actually. I'm hoping you lead a long life filled with happiness and prosperity.

Right back at you, friendly strangers. How did the saying go? May your days be long and your nights prosperous?

Can't bloody believe I almost ate the onion again, after reading the headline alone. It's a tad too probable for my taste.

Haha at least I wasn't the only one. They kind of got me too!

Somewhat disconcerting, because it's a title I could believe.

Lula remarked during a press conference. "Perhaps Mr. Musk should stick to making cars that sometimes explode. He seems better at that than comedy."

I can hear Lula saying this.

It's just a prank bro!

Maybe Musk should sue the users for leaving his platform while proclaiming freedom and liberties for all.
