Elon's Twitter Fuckery and the Naughty List

With Christmas coming, it might be prudent to address the subject of what get's you on Santa's naughty list.

One way might be to spend too much money on a perfectly fine social media platform and turn it into a clusterfuck.

Yeah, Elon Musk is on Santa's naughty list for sure for the fuckery Elon is doing with Twitter.  

You know it would be bad enough that this fucking moron with too much time on his hands and too little sense bought Twitter in the first place.  

But Elon thinks he's smarter than everybody and determined to run Twitter his way. 

Elon has lifted restrictions on election deniers and purveyors of COVID-19 misinformation. Despite being dropped from Twitter for inciting an insurrection against the US Government, Donald Trump was welcomed back to Twitter.

So far, Li'l Donnie is sticking to his little corner of social media hell called "Truth Social".   

Anti-semitism, racism and homophobia are on the rise in Elon's lawless wild west concept of Twitter.  Say what you want with no consequences. 

Unless you say something bad about Elon Musk.

Several  journalists’ accounts had their Twitter accounts suspended including The Washington Post’s Drew Harwell, The New York Times’ Ryan Mac, CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, independent reporter Aaron Rupar and Mashable’s Matt Binder after they posted stories about Musk's acquisition of Twitter and his mismanagement of it.  

Bowing to public pressure, Must reinstated the reporters' Twitter accounts.  

Meanwhile, Musk has fired many Twitter employees, is refusing to pay rent for Twitter office space and tried to monetize the blue check authentication.  

That last one backfired badly. Instead of earning the blue check that proves you are who really are, you could buy it.

So you could launch @thisisreallyBurgerKing and for $8.00 buy the blue check and tell all your followers to fuck off. 

For now, I'm still on Twitter but I rarely post anything, mostly follow some people I like in the worlds of comic books & television, like and retweeting posts and occasionally commenting.   

But even that negligible presence, I don't like being part of Elon Musk's shit show.

Which is a damn shame and it's a lump of coal from Santa to you Elon Musk for fucking up Twitter. 

Update on this post after the graphic: 


So yesterday, Elon Musk posted this on Twitter:  “I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.”

Elon made this announcement in the wake of a poll on Twitter where he asked if should remain as CEO of Twitter and the resounding reply was "Oh hell yeah! You should resign!"
