@JAMES HEY EVERYONE WE HAVE ANOTHER CRYPTO SCAMMER
@pedro we have another SCAMMER here
@pedro scammer Alert. Scammer. Scammer. Scammer
@Chinenye abala ladies abd gentlemen we have another scammer
@Ukatum Judy scammer scammer scammer
I was trying to get my money is all. He has to do alot to clean up.
Who is SBF
No I got you I need to know what I needed to do
Show me I got the knowledge
Who lied
@coolrunning2006 I don’t switch accounts I have this one is the only one I communicate on.
Instead of a kitchen sink, Musk should have carried a toilet stuffed with dollar bills into Twitter while saying “I just flushed $44 billion of these down the toilet”.
@minyaksayur off course banks also dont lend money on long shots because yes they have collateral but it also hurt them because that doesn’t mean the collateral put up will sell within days. Cold take months or years. Also bank could of gotten stock options so would not of just done it without thinking. So yeah banks are not stupid
@Gold Tau Musk is like a toddler who gets his hands on an expensive toy (Twitter) and proceeds to immediately break it, then pouts and cries.
@minyaksayur He put Tesla shares up as collateral?
@ClubXXXPoison not only that, but at steep discounts, banks are the real shark
@ClubXXXPoison you’re such a smarter business exec right? Broke and whining but much smarter. hhhhhh
I bet <30k ppl signed up. This a bigger failure than cnn plus 😂
I dunno, CNN+ was pretty big, but it didn’t spook advertisers…
he got scam!
He scammed himself. He unilaterally made that offer on a whim, tried to back out, and was forced to fulfil his contractual obligations. He put a quarter in his ass and played himself.
@Jesus Zamora quarter in ass hahahah!
Would you buy a wallet that is wrong or foul play and if you verified only by a regulated program that hard drive hard witmred in serious with no back doors build. Public ledger also
Good! I hope Elon fires every woke progressive douchebag at Twitter. Could not care less if the platform goes away💯👋🏽
He’s got the tiger by the tail now.
Who TF cares, hhummmmmmmm?????and
Bye Twitter lol
GOOGLE NEXT
The economy is not faltering.
Yeah who didn’t see THAT coming? >_>
He could have just KYC the thing I guess… a guy who is into crypto 😀
Twitter has been losing money for years. Those ads people dont like watching anyway? Getting rid of the dead weight. It will be fine.
@Don yeah like hes gonna tell you his plans. Just his plans to scare investors to sell their shares LMAO!
@Don you know how to manage Twitter, give Elon a call Me. Expert. hhhhhh
@Adam Casas Hey dummy, there are no Twitter shares to sell because Musk bought them all and took the company private. But you don’t know what that means, do you?
@Shania Van der Halen I don’t have a lot of great ideas to manage it given that Elon paid probably 10 times what it’s worth and the annual debt service is higher than annual revenue. But I probably wouldn’t start by laying off so many IT people that the software platform is going to probably have security breaches and have so many software glitches that users give up on it.
@Adam Casas His plans to scare investors to sell their shares? What shares?
Twitter is a privately held company now. That’s what the $44B dollars did. It bought all the shares.
It was never fair to begin with. They only allowed it on iPhones and not android’s.
Now might be the best time to double the price for the blue check and when the smoke clears you will have made a profit.
@kbnice23 You guys must be real math champs. $20 per scammer is going to recover 45 billion dollars. Yep.
@Dan Reiser The advertisers have already disappeared, the people who are paying $8/month to troll Elon with fake accounts will get bored, and the combination of fake accounts, no moderators to deal with misinformation and fake accounts, and burying the tweets of users who don’t pay will make Twitter a complete joke and cause everybody to desert. Which might not be a bad thing because Elon has fired so many IT people that the software platform is going to collapse at some point. You can tell by how dumb the Musk cult is that they’re all Trumpers.
@kbnice23 Hey genius, where does the revenue come from after you shut down the accounts of the people who are paying $20 a month?
@Don you will charge everybody $20
@kbnice23 Elon has fired most of the moderators which means Twitter will turn into even a more toxic cesspool of misinformation and trolling that it has to be. He’s fired a big chunk of the IT people which means security breaches and downtime for the site. And you think millions of people are going to pay $20 a month for it? I think there’s a good chance they won’t last until the end of the year.
Once again a fair reporting guys! My money is on Elon to pull this off. Remember Space X was on the last test launch before shutting down and now look at it. Same with Tesla. Another note if it does fail he will have a great tax right off.
@nicholas conqueror how do you know? Jealous maybe.
@Swiss Army Knight Cory’s comment reminded me of the Seinfeld scene where Kramer tells Jerry that the post office will replace his stereo that was broken during shipping because “it’s a write-off for them!” Seinfeld: “Write if off what?” Kramer: “Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything!” Jerry: “You don’t even know what a write-off is.” Kramer: “Do you?” Jerry: “No I don’t.” Kramer: “But they do. And they’re the ones writing it off.”
@Shania Van der Halen jealous of what? Waiting billions on a shitty space program that’s still 50 years behind NASA? No thanks
@Shania Van der Halen Keep the faith, sheeple. The cult of Elon is strong.
@Swiss Army Knight He mentioned tax write off as a plan B, an “if it doesn’t work,” not the primary goal. Stop putting words in people’s mouths.
WOW such a meme
It’s sad that to many dishonest people are amongst the honest.
I make my first ever Twitter account to see Elon Musk burn Twitter to the ground
tak s – uneducated whiner
Watch out if you gave them any personal information like a credit card number. They’ve fired so much IT staff that security breaches are likely.
i aint payin no 8 bucks. im there for the car crash
🤔Boycott Twitter – Priceless
Unknown president. Did you get fired from Twitter. You make ignorant comments on every YT video involving Twitter.
@Shania Van der Halen , why did you watch all youtube videos re Twitter are you Elon Musk useing a fake account 🤔
How’s that whole “free speech” thing working out for ya now boy genius? 😂😂
I mean coke is better lol
that was funny from Pepsi lol
@alim3611 😂😂😂
Oh!
a fellow Coke head
@alim3611 *Pepsi* XD
This dude more Donald Trump than Warren Buffett
Gold Tau – says the BROKE TROLL
Yeah, Musk is going to bankrupt Twitter in 20% of the time it took the Stable Genius to bankrupt a casino.
@Shania Van der Halen Van Halen’s “job” to comment on broke troll’s comments. 😞
Twitter is going to be alright

I know very little about the financial market and stocks , but if this is really the case why hasn’t the Twitter stock price crashed? Going off the last week of date it looks pretty stable
Get your account verified with the above mentioned name fast and reliably.
There is no “stock price.” Elon’s buyout took Twitter private.
Qatar and Saudi Arabia are shareholders.
@Sjeluc Ten Twitter will be as good an investment for Saudi Arabia as that exhibition golf tour.
Went private, no longer listed.
Musk bought a cyberclub that immediately became uncool once he got it. A nightclub is only profitable as long as people want to get in. No one wants to party with Parlor INCELS, THAT IS WHY THEY ARE INCELS!!! SMH. It is only profitable as long as it’s popular. IMPLOSION LIKE MYSPACE is completely plausible. Advertisers (i.e.money), follow people not billionaire egos who wanted to control what is free speech under the lie of being its proponent. Are you not entertained? 🤣
If it was more important for people to have a safe place to cyber-bullhorn racial slurs and make fun of anyone (EXCEPT HIM 🤭) than be profitable, so be it. *Enjoy the racist sausage fest, Elon, it is your absolute right, lol* .. but Mattel, Nestle, Apple and Nike can’t sell Christmas and Thanksgiving crap to people who are being belittled by sad low self esteem racists, F-That!! Adios, lol.
Yep. That’s why content moderation is a thing. Advertisers don’t want anyone associating them with hate and conspiracy crap. No one is subbing to Twitter, the company isn’t that big a deal, especially with influencers jumping ship to TikTok and Instagram. Who knows, maybe another company can form from the ashes of this erupting volcano of feces
Good thing we will not see the adds in twitter now 😂
The only ones likely to profit from Musk’s takeover of Twitter will be the lawyers.
His investors will be lucky if they can escape with 10 cents on the dollar.
Hopefully he does not Tesla down with Twitter.
Those $44bn are sinking 😂
I would question his ability to run other companies as well 😂
@Giovanni Frrri don’t forget about hypernon-existent product like cyberwagon
@Giovanni Frrri and its all done with strategic-futuristic infinity rescheduling key event in all of his companies, what a brilliant move
@Normy you can’t be self made when you have your daddies emerald mine money. Also the work he did wqsnt with PayPal it was stuff he did before which after it was purchased they looked at the code and said it was a mess. And his other business are propped up by you guessed it government subsidies
@Normy Keep the faith, sheeple. The cult of Elon is strong.
@Normy I do applaud him for being rich enough to make full scale models to show us why his ideas dont work
Elon Musk showing us how to lose $44 billion fast… Although Sam Bankman-Fried already beat him to it.
Elon can afford it though.
He bought it with money from selling his wildly overpriced Tesla shares. Wait until Tesla stock collapses.
Elon has not learnt the lesson from Facebook. When Facebook bought WhatsApp and planned for annual sub which was far more cheaper than the blue tick price, it blew up on mark’s face and company was about to close because of it. I guess Elon is going to learn the same lesson.
the genius of musk
THIS IS THE 1ST YOUTUBE COMMENT FROM THE WORLD
EVERLAST, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO HOME+FREE BOY?
PARTY
AND+ONE AND DONE
What a mess
What a F00L! Should have never touched this, but he wanted to be popular with he right wing nut jobs.
The best part is, many of these fake tweets arent lying. The Nestle one is dead on.
Crazy that so called (fake tweets) can bring so much awareness. SMH. They try to discredit. They did everything u could think of but can’t cover up facts.
BURN IT DOWN ELON!! ELON WANT TO SELL THE BUILDING IN SF????

Who could have predicted selling a blue check would have led to thousands of imposter accounts? Anyone but Elon Musk! Too darn funny!
Tesla almost went bankrupt before it became the world’s leading EV manufacturer. Elon turned it into what it is today. That’s why even though all these fake news outlets are screaming in panic…Elon is cool and collected working to fix things up at Twitter. He’s been here before and he’s shown he can make things happen…But, If you watch these news outlets …You will always be in panic mode because this is their business …to attract eyes and ears by screaming…”PANIC and DANGER”.
He doesn’t want to rely on advertisers and has other ways of bringing in money in mind. Things you’re not even expecting. Give him time, he hasn’t been there even a month!
Keep the faith, sheeple. The cult of Elon is strong.
hE hAs OtHeR wAyS oF bRiNgInG iN mOnEy iN mInD
Typical lunatic
@Lumberjack Dreamer They will literally not hesitate to lick the nuggets in Elon’s unwashed butthole.
What fantastical lies can he tell about Twitter? It will automatically post your thoughts, or it will double your bank account every 15 minutes? That’s all he did for those other companies.
How are those self crashing E-semis coming?
Beware of this man he will make more problem soon
Credit to Elon Musk for “sticking it through”? He was *court ordered* to complete the purchase of Twitter lol
There will be no bankrupcy.
Man this is sooooo sweet. Everyone thought Musk buying Twitter was going to be a new age for that site and now it may go under faster than Truth Social! 🤣🤣🤣
I mean
New age Twitter is a win
Twitter dying is a win too
@Adeyum64 You ain’t wrong. Lefties gotta go lefty somewhere else. 😂
And I thought Meta is gonna fall first.
ZER DONUT BANK IS MISSING A PATRON. -ZHYR VICEROY 🇩🇪

These fake tweets speak the truth than the real ones. 😄
You’re all snake’s…. The bird is the word!.. the truth is coming out and yahoo out of biz as well ❤️🩹
Dogecoin to 0, please press the button on those wallets , and then we enjoy the party
He seemed to have been fooled into buying a company that has so much expense and less profit, so he’s trying to find ways how to recover financially. I feel sorry for him and the employees because who ever previously handled the company seemed to overspend then when in the brink of financial loss, sold the business. After signing the contract, the new owner could not excuse himself from buying the company and has to proceed and somehow find ways how to save from financial losses. I wonder if the previous owners have been guilty of any unethical financial reporting, just like well known stories like Enron, Sunbeam, etc. And if they do, they should be persecuted. Stupid pranksters. Don’t they know their foolishness can create chaos, even financial disaster for companies and the stock market? Then what? It will add more to our countries’ economic difficulties. It is a serious thing to pretend to be government officials. I hope the government fines and imprisons those who are pretending to be government officials. And instead of being happy and wishing Elon to be bankrupt, how can you help encourage people to be ethical so they stop creating havoc on a company that’s already a mess. Help Twitter to recover you all.
