    Unlike you, I do not expect bills to be paid late - ever, especially the importance of the ones Musk has chosen not to pay.
    Twitter is now jettisoning more staff even die hard Musk loyalists. Last one to leave please turn out the lights.

    I doubt suppliers to an established business would expect payment of their accounts to suddenly stop just because it changes ownership, unless the new owner is an idiot, or has failed to understand the financial position of the business and it's ability to pay it's bills.

    Financial position?

    The new owner is the wealthiest man on earth, your argument becomes mute.

    It worked out 100%. There's a lot less staff than there were - and possibly a lot less account holders. Twitter has definitely gone downhill since the world's dumbest genius took over. What saved Musk was that there was not an oven ready alternative available, but that will likely change. Nature abhors a vacuum.

    Which means either;

    The business he paid far too much for can't afford to pay it's bills, and the owner won't put the money into the business to pay them, which makes him an asshat.

    or;

    The business has sufficient money, but the new owner is choosing not to pay the bills, which makes him an asshat.

    Your digging a deeper hole you already can't get out of

    Let it slide while no one's paying attention.

    The word you're after is "moot". Also the worlds wealthiest person is Bernard Arnault, mainly because he only makes sensible investments.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    "You're".

    Not at all, what I wrote is accurate. I visit Twitter most days although not as much as previously. It has changed, and not for the better.

    Not as of a day or 2 ago. Musky is #1 again. Must be that space and car thing keeping him going.

    The 'For You' is now poo, but I haven't seen that much of a change on Twitter in general. Few stickier topics, but pretty much the same peaks and troughs according to who pokes who. Who knows, maybe Dorsey will help get NOSTR to Twitter level.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    In the US it's like the MAGAts secret sign. We shouldn't sneer though. Many Kiwis can't spell the interrogative 'eh' and it's only two letters.
