    This is the most simp-y shit I’ve ever heard of. You don’t bail out a billionaire.

      I really hate the term “simp” but it really fits here. Having legions of people pledging scraps of cash to literally the wealthiest personon Earth is just so… pathetic.

      It’s conservatroids trying to show that they have economic power too. They have big spending companies too! Like Babylon Bee! Yeah! Take that, libs!

      Lol. Also, I’ve run ads on Twitter and it was a waste of money. Facebook ads work 100x better. Reddit was awful too. So these dicks are just pissing money away. After all - there’s a reason they weren’t already big spending advertisers on Twitter: because it sucks.

    Apple spent ~100 M per year on adds on twitter prior to the EM buyout.

    There is no way in hell these grifters will do anything but talk big. The money will never come.

      This reminds me of those statistics that show the how the richest 10% have as much wealth as the other 90% (or whatever the exact numbers were).

      And also those statistics that show how Apple is bigger than the entire economies of many countries.

    Oh wow Andrew Tate is one of them.

    Gee, when you look at all these manbaby assholes who cry about being canceled, one thing starts to stand out. They’re all manbaby assholes. Maybe if every canceled person is a manbaby asshole, then getting cancelled is actually about not liking manbaby assholes? And not about killing freedom of speech? It’s just… the pattern is undeniable.

    This is actually a good thing! Let them all bundle up together and maybe they can fund and start his little society on mars and he can take all the right wing cunts with him. Then they can go cry about women and minorities together without bothering the rest of us.

        Oh you must be new. There’s always an “in group” and an “out group”. If somehow everyone is in the “in group” the rules change to create a new “out group”.

            Happens all the time. Recently Republicans were calling the speaker of the house “secretly a democrat” because he acknowledged that his adopted black son has difficulties his white sons won’t have to deal with.

        Yup, and then the Earth can start to heal.

        Let those fuckers live in their delusions about rebuilding human civilization without check notes everyone is literally help run society such as trades people, medical professionals, agriculture workers, social workers, etc.

          Capitalism always needs the frontier or at least the mythology of it, Mars is kind of that right now.

          They’ll probably do the indentured servant thing like, “now that you’re here, we just need a couple things done before you can get that free real estate.”

    Got it. Tim Pool, Andrew Tate and the CEO of Babylon Bee are all antisemites who believe Jews are going to wipe them out.

    Not that I’m surprised, I’m just glad we have it on record.

      Do you remember when people were donating money to one of the younger Kardashians, so she could become the youngest “self-made” billionaire? People are dumb.

      It’s funny cause they need the audience to “trigger” that Twitter/X has, just going on Truth Social or a bespoke political site doesn’t provide that. If X had no libs they wouldn’t wanna be on it cause it would be boring.
