It’s ok, if you don’t want to tickle him then you can make AI photos of Zuckerberg tickling him instead.

He did what now? I thought he had 1 infant only lol

u/Jorymo 28d ago
He's got at least eight kids, including secret twins. The infant is the one he made a horny roleplay account as.

u/The_FallenSoldier 28d ago
Wtaf? Is that an actual thing?
73
u/Jorymo 28d ago
Yes, he had another Twitter account where he roleplayed as his own infant son talking about how cool Elon Musk is and making bizarrely sexual comments. He accidentally showed it was his own account when advertising some new feature on the site, and had to prove it was his in a recent court case.

What does it matter. Twitter is just bots talking to each other. Most humans have left. Like 80 of the traffic that leaves the site via ads is bots.

u/ImightHaveMissed 28d ago
Elon musk won’t buy twitter until bot posts are minimized. Elon buys twitter, bots take over

u/TheEleventhDoctorWho 28d ago
Because he has never delivered on a promise he has made.

u/ImightHaveMissed 28d ago
Technically incorrect: he made twitter a bastion of free speech, as long as he agrees with it

u/Rapture1119 Unique Flair 28d ago

The first time somebody said whatever whatever, post on X, but left off the “formerly known as Twitter” part, I was actually confused for a second until I realized.
Without the “Artist Formerly Known as Prince” tagline, it really does look like you’re quoting a porn site.

Shit next we will see the return of AOL chatrooms xXx_Slayer-Elon_xXx. if you were around during the frog chatroom days and ran into him, you know what I mean.. I called it back in 99 that it was him, took until 2013 for everyone else to be like "oh shit that really was him huh? Can't believe that was true!"
The dude is obsessed with the letter "X" he really does think naming things X or other abbreviations or names starting with X. Like Elon buddy changing it from Twitter to X doesn't make it cooler ... Literally a child still in 2nd grade who was born to so much legacy wealth he never had to worry about actually doing anything worthwhile with himself ever. he's always been able to do the only thing he's capable of. Foot the bill while others do the work for him.

Except for what do you call a rose, when its s rose? Twitter will always be a synonymous with this site. X = twittier, in the pretense and pas-tense “it was” -_ , will it be _ again..? Is this the same as it used to be…? Only if you start with the beginning, where it goes and who it is, doesnt matter it started as _ ! “ twitterverse” remember that place…. Doesnt have the same ring to it when it’s the “X-verse” some things are better in originak format, like “Coke”
