      I really hate the term “simp” but it really fits here. Having legions of people pledging scraps of cash to literally the wealthiest personon Earth is just so… pathetic.

      It’s conservatroids trying to show that they have economic power too. They have big spending companies too! Like Babylon Bee! Yeah! Take that, libs!

      Lol. Also, I’ve run ads on Twitter and it was a waste of money. Facebook ads work 100x better. Reddit was awful too. So these dicks are just pissing money away. After all - there’s a reason they weren’t already big spending advertisers on Twitter: because it sucks.

    Apple spent ~100 M per year on adds on twitter prior to the EM buyout.

    There is no way in hell these grifters will do anything but talk big. The money will never come.

    I’ll take “Things That Aren’t Financially Possible”, for $400, Alex.

      This reminds me of those statistics that show the how the richest 10% have as much wealth as the other 90% (or whatever the exact numbers were).

      And also those statistics that show how Apple is bigger than the entire economies of many countries.

    Elon finally found his people. The MAGA poverty level white Christian who hates everything that gives them that rush of energy, because their life otherwise barely has a pulse.

    As much as I would LOVE to see them waste their money on this, we know they are all talk and no action and won’t actually contribute anything.

      That’s the best part, they’re all grifters trying to get attention, they won’t pay a fucking cent.

    Imagine pledging to get enough money to bail out someone who can literally masturbate and squirt $44B on a whim.

    Bootlickers, he doesn’t need you. Really.

    Oh wow Andrew Tate is one of them.

    Gee, when you look at all these manbaby assholes who cry about being canceled, one thing starts to stand out. They’re all manbaby assholes. Maybe if every canceled person is a manbaby asshole, then getting cancelled is actually about not liking manbaby assholes? And not about killing freedom of speech? It’s just… the pattern is undeniable.

      Right wing stooges are too dumb to contribute to open source projects. They steal the code and then let it languish.

    This is actually a good thing! Let them all bundle up together and maybe they can fund and start his little society on mars and he can take all the right wing cunts with him. Then they can go cry about women and minorities together without bothering the rest of us.

        Oh you must be new. There’s always an “in group” and an “out group”. If somehow everyone is in the “in group” the rules change to create a new “out group”.

            Happens all the time. Recently Republicans were calling the speaker of the house “secretly a democrat” because he acknowledged that his adopted black son has difficulties his white sons won’t have to deal with.

      They can start their own handmaid’s tale on Mars. Let’s see how many women they can get to join these super manly men.
