This is what they do. The orange guy has made a career of it.

For goddam real. “it was actually meant to be a point on free speech” is the international symbol for “some shit I said was actually of consequence for once, so I’m absolving myself of it while also not breaking character to the people who like me because i am this dickhead”

Got to be honest, I don’t think most advertisers care about whether Musk is contrite or a complete jackass. twitter is a shitty platform, and gets shittier every day. It’s filled with crypto scammers, porn bots, and completely unchecked extremism from super far right nutjobs that have verified badges. It’s no longer a…

well said!

I hope they dont cave and go back.   I cant imagine advertising has much (if any) value on that cesspool these days anyhow.

100%.  There was zero back track here.  I am so sick of this moron.

You see, he is owed the advertisement money. Anything less than getting at least half of the advertisement budget of big companies is a personal sleight as he is entitled to that money.

lol what a load of horseshit. Playing the victim. ‘Oh we are just fighting for free speech that’s what I meant. We won’t bow to being censored!’ jesus fuck NO ONE IS CENSORING YOU. People choosing NOT to advertise with your business is not censorship ffs. Can this guy just take his billions and fuck off

And this “genius” is worth $45billion? Gimme a break.

I don’t see a walking back or an apology or an admission that he was wrong. I see him obfuscating and trying to pretend he didn’t say the thing everyone saw and heard him say. In addition to telling advertisers to go fuck themselves, repeatedly, he also stated that advertisers NOT advertising on his platform were…

Congratulations to Boeing on achieving a truly special level of incompetence to make even SpaceX seem responsible and competent in comparison.

I honestly don’t have that problem. The nozzle doesn’t extend below the flap in the filler far enough to restrict it by any significant amount. I get a full fill on the GS and RT without having to do anything other than stick the nozzle in far enough to get it to activate.

Two things:

zactly, and with plastic cans they’ll tend to move on you.

Same method I use for filling my motorcycle, pull the sheath back to trigger the sensor to allow for flow.  Its a PIA.

As much as I love Spa, Silverstone is a better option in my opinion. It’s typically the best race of the season.

Bathhurst 1000 is amazing, but doesn’t draw much in terms of international drivers. It’s a lot of Aussie blokes. Maybe it should stick to F1, and if so, I’d nominate Spa, where bravery is still much rewarded. That said, there is always Scott McLaughlin.... We just need to get him into LeMans.

Obviously this would need to be in Europe so that the timing is right wrt the other races. I am partial to Spa.

I’ve attended the Monaco Grand Prix. All thanks to my Army enlistment shipping me off to Germany to be NATO headcount. Any yes, to actually attend that GP is a something else—maybe not historic races taking place there but races which have history since the Monaco GP has been held so many years.

He essentially threatened to kill her. I’m cool with what she did. Was it a risk? Of course it was, but she must have been seething with rage after all she had been through from this guy in the past.
