![]() Sure! And that, moreover, everyone all around the world now uses “pedo guy” the way they did in Pretoria when Elon was growing up. But Musk managed to convince the best court his money could buy that, when he was growing up in South Africa, “pedo guy” just meant “creepy old man” - not paedophile at all. The rescuer, Vernon Unsworth, unsurprisingly sued Musk for defamation. He has since sacked a whole heap more people from Twitter, the bastard.Īnd what a jerk he is! Like in 2019, after he called the valiant 63-year-old British diver who saved 12 kids stuck in a cave in Thailand a ‘ pedo guy’. So, perhaps losing US$44 billion is not such a big deal to Musk? Although it seems that it is, because upon taking control of Twitter he sacked half the staff, saying the company couldn’t afford them because it was losing US$4 million (AU$5.9 million) a day.

And all the while tweeting – and tweeting, and tweeting and tweeting − increasingly absurd and inane idiocies.Įlon Musk, the world's richest cooker, has made Twitter taste terrible Meanwhile, Musk has been continuing to make far-reaching decisions about the platform on a daily basis, only to reverse most of them the very next day. Advertisers and users have been deserting in floods, while regulators and creditors circle this apparently sinking ship. ![]() His name is Elon Musk and, in case you just woke up from a long coma, he recently bought social media platform Twitter for the tidy sum of US$44 billion (AU$65.7 billion).Īnd then, with all the grace and good manners of a mentally deranged octopus falling out of a tree, proceeded to attack the value of his asset in a variety of new and unexpected ways. IN THE PANTHEON of megarich weirdos – Zuckerberg, Trump et al – one wacky oddball towers above all the rest.
