Ha! Doubt it. A secret phone would clearly only be secret all this time because it's technology is far more advanced than anything we've ever seen.
Thank you, Elon.
He bought it to kill it, it's the only thing that makes sense to me. Bunch of corrupt/dictator types clubbed together and decided they didn't want Twitter around any more. There's plenty ways Musk can be repaid outside of the public eye.
how does buying a multibillion company to kill it make any sense to you?
he’s just a tit
Anyone who thinks this is even remotely realistic, like even 0.0001% realistic, should read up on Bezos' Fire Phone expeditions. He was certain that was going to be Amazon's biggest money spinner since AWS and it flopped so badly that it did not even last 2 years IIRC.
And in other news about how the remenants of the team controlling that are doing

I find it offensive how that guy equates smoking Heroin and dick riding Musk. Like sure heroin can soften the mind a little but it doesn’t turn it completely into mush
Stasi levels of fecked up...
Major social media platforms literally have the power to decide elections, all over the world. They also aid the spread of information that countries whom don't have elections, don't want to be spread. Twitter in general is/was one of, if not the most progressively moderated of them. Of course there is still loads of shit on it, but less so than facebook for example.
I'm imagining there are some very rich cnuts out there that would rather it didn't exist. Its very popular in Saudi for example, that presents a problem for the leadership of a country still living in the dark ages.
What an utterly unimitigated douchebag. Overgrown manchild who is clearly so broken somehow that he thinks being the personification of an online troll is a good way to ruin his legacy.
I've been thinking about this as well. Granted he's always come across as an idiot and far from the Tony Stark that people try to make him out to be, but this Twitter tenure has been handled so spectacularly bad in so many ways that I can't help but think it was deliberate and done to kill Twitter. As much as people (especially on here) like to moan about Twitter being the worst thing to ever exist, it does a lot of good for a lot of people and has done for a long time.
okay but how is this logistically panning out in your head?
musk drops 40bn on twitter, crashes the Tesla price and burns his entire rep and… some rich cnuts make it up to him somehow?
their newest ads are getting past browser ublock...so the engineers have been busy!
Never attribute malice which can adequately be explained by stupidity
Feck knows really, could have a gun to his head for all we know. He's not the richest man in the world, just the richest that files tax returns. He'll be woefully out of his depth if he's got involved with the wrong people.
I'd apply Occam's Razor. He's just out of his depth for being an idiot. Makes more sense based on all we know about him.
The medium's success is built on its short form, non researched hot takes fit!
It failed spectacularly to decide a crucial election about 2 weeks ago tough.
It's amazing that in the country with the best universities, people are confusing/equatating free speech with fake news and Marxism with capitalism.
For a nice change, Trumpist type politics should be getting nowhere near 50% of the vote.
Keeping it for himself I imagine.
It feels like words simply have no meaning anymore. Accepted terms with decades or even centuries of history, essays, debate, facts, opinions, etc behind them can now be used to mean pretty much anything you want. Nothing needs to have any basis in reality anymore.
he’s been doing dumb shit like this for years..
he got in trouble with the SEC for saying dumb shit, he got in trouble for calling a guy a pedo.. all that’s happening now is a continuation of the norm
pretty sure he got away with that one - guy tried to sue him and lost

May I interest you in the Hypernormalisation thread at this trying time?
yeah I know he won the case, I just meant it as example of him saying dumb shit that’s causing him issues.. so him saying dumb shit now is not some 5d chess move it’s just him being him (a prize twat)
I accidentally got into the thread couple of days ago. Even more depressed. There is no room for sensible discussion when even the words you use can mean different things to different people.
On a side note, can't understand why every BBC documentary looks and feel like its made in the 1970s. Did they no update their equipments on was it intentionally done this way.
She's also a sophisticated and profound reader of Marx' studies I see. Especially Marx' critique on Prussian censorship instruction.

- well they didn't have the latest tech I suppose.No one will care if he makes a phone, nor will they buy it because it will have no app store or device ecosystem to support it. It will probably look as cool as the Tesla Model Y
No war Twitter vs Apple after all???
I have no idea, but I assume he's trolling Apple. Poorly of course, but trolling.
Aren’t the shadows in the water just him taking this video and a man with the hair and the glasses of Cook?
