    Trick question. They’re all unhinged raving narcissists. They might be mad but they don’t internalize that stuff. Everything is fine…

    Russia had the worst week, America the best and poor, poor Twitter.

    It's interesting that a good week for America is a bad week for trump. Hmm...

    Putin. He's losing a war and is probably going to die soon.

    It’s either Trump or Putin. Take your pick. As for Elon, Twitter usage it at an all-time high this week, so grading his week worse than Trump or Putin is silly.

    I like the Trumpty Dumpty meme from the NY Post.

    Clicks don't pay the bills. Advertisers do. That's why he's talking about bankruptcy.

    Twitter valuation down $36 Billion from his purchase price.

    I so wanted to say the Trumpanzee, but abandoning the city he just annexed is an epic loss for Putin.

    Same guy who in the Elon thread said everyone was mad about Elon buying twitter. When I asked him who was mad in particular he never responded. He's got a weird infatuation

    Not trolling. The Elon hate has been non-stop since he bought Twitter and everybody knows why. You’re not sitting here hyper-analyzing every other tech CEO, who are also losing massive amounts of money this year. You’re fixated on Elon, because he took your free lunch away.

    All three are essentially clones. Product of Big Gov while claiming to be helpless victims of it.

    And all three will never live a stressful moment in life. Elon is likely taking Twitter off the map. So? Who loses? NOBODY.

    I was actually, just thinking about this tweet earlier today:



    And thinking about which one had the worst month following that tweet. Kanye lost all of his major branding deals after he went full-on Anti-Semitic. Elon was forced to buy a company at a massive premium that has never made any money and is now openly talking about it not surviving, while his company that actually has made some money has lost huge amounts of value as he has begun to appear more and more chaotic. And Trump's candidates got smashed during a historic Republican underperformance.

    It’s simply dishonest to lump a genius like Elon Musk in with the likes of Putin or Trump. I can see the Elon hate runs strong with the liberals.

    @citygator is not being 'dishonest' for initiating a conversation about three men, full of hubris, who had terrible weeks. Such a topic is a catalyst for discussions on the flaws of the men and the degrees of failure. For example, Elon is not a mass murder like the other two.

    I voted Elon. Not only did he lose shitloads of money, he also got his golden boy business image tarnished and he continues to come across as incredibly erratic to investors. Probably the worst week of his life. Not sure the same can be said for Trump or Putin.
