It's great to see someone standing up to these twats. However I don't see Twitter lasting much longer with advertisers bailing left and right, wouldn't surprise me to see them file for bankruptcy before next summer.

I was thinking the same thing. 

I think that Elon is riding his pride straight in to the ground.  Good for him though.
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

It sounded more like the advertisers were trying to bully him and he said "fuck you and leave."

They bully everyone. And most large corporations have already left because he wasn't taking their bullying. I 100% don't blame him for not kowtowing to their every desire, however you won't survive very long in this world by doing that.

Did you see the Dana White interview with Theo Von? He said the same thing about Peleton and another sponsor that wanted to dictate how he runs his company.
Peleton wanted Theo to take down the video of his interview with RFK Jr.
Dana goes off on Peleton. It's great.

They just went off on Peloton's CEO.

"Fuckin' San Francisco"

My favorite part was then Dana said he probably wears a helmet while riding the stationary bike, and Theo said "He probably wears a helmet when he rides his wife!"

My bold prediction with no evidence or background knowledge to back it up... Twitters gonna be huge, I mean it is Elon Musk who's in charge. The guy's done too many "impossible" things in his life to not succeed with this.

Love listening to Theo. The things he comes up with on the spot are hilarious

I'd never heard of Theo Von until he was on another Podcast I listen to. He's a pretty interesting guy.

My thoughts exactly. Musk is not in twitter to just keep it the same. He has crazy big plans for it being an everything app. I'm sure the final product will be scaled down from his talk so far but he is not done by any means. He also knows how to play the long game. All of his companies went through long unprofitable periods before becoming what they are today.
