Looks like he was arranging financing as late as last week

He started off willing to pay half and borrow half


May 10, 2022, 10:27 PM [ in reply to Looks like he was arranging financing as late as last week ]

As soon as the Twitter board agreed, he’s been trying to reduce his cash outlay and increase the borrowing. Not sure he really wanted to buy it in the first place as much as he wanted the media attention.

Is Wikipedia too liberal now? I’m going to need someone to keep a list going, I got lost back around Goya beans

We are still enjoying Goya, but LMK if they have turned to the dark side and we will align them with Disney.

I don't get Wikipedia. A few years back I attempted to edit a section on a very rare disease one of kids has and actually inject facts into WP based on personal experience. Never got the changes to stick - as I recall the Wikipedia bots were rejecting it for some reason. I tried for quite a while and never figured out the key words offending the bots.

That's when I decided Wikipedia is crap.

It’s not bots


May 11, 2022, 6:32 PM

It’s other users. Each page has one or more “experts” that maintain it. If you posted something factual, it’s likely they rejected it because you didn’t provide references.

Did you cite your sources?

He could buy that with his pocket change.***

Re:Just because K.Barnette is a phony doesn't justify censor


May 11, 2022, 8:37 PM

Wikipedia nor Twitter nor any platform should be censoring a politician ... even a phony like Kathy Barnette.

Sure, Kathy Barnette campaigns as though she's a conservative republican. Sure, she had a good debate performance against her opponents in the PA Senate primary.

But although she's in fact just another in a long line of 'micro-aggression victims' who believes that the white police are out to 'get' her teenage son ... a supporter of the George Floyd riots (which represented the 'victims of systemic racism), that doesn't justify any platform's censoring of her.

But buying a low tech platform like Wikipedia just ain't Elon Musk.
