Thank you, I needed that. Of all the TechBroes out there he gets up my nose the most, or more likely his supporters irritate me waaaayyy more than any other Techbro fanboys.

That’s the most cogent explanation of the Twitter purchase brouhaha anyone’s managed to put forward, and doesn’t diminish Musk’s douchebaggery by one iota. Masterful.

My concern about the burrito cart is that it is actually a powerful social media taco that Elon will now enable as an extreme libertarian propaganda chimichanga in the name of "free speech" when it's actually about "no taxes". I hate to see burrito carts used in this way because I love burritos, and tacos, and chimichangas.

Thanks again. You've managed to explain something I previously had only half understood and entertained me at the same time. That my friend is a gift.

Read this in the small room/library in a visit that may or may not have been Trinidad scorpion chilli inspired, but was definitely an appropriate setting. Do you have Elon's email address? My lawyer might need to ask for a $B or 2 for pain and suffering after the deal goes through. My deal with Miguel went through a bit faster than expected.... but I'd prefer to hit up the new owner for Dogecoin so I can act all millenial.

if musk ever gets the burrito cart he will be leading from the front, and known as Eeee-Aaaww Musk

The only Musk I know of is the Musk ox - of Arctic regions Alaska to Greenland. I saw them some years ago in Alaska - and, In a word - cute! Ovidos Moschatus - vaguely related to cattle - like a miniature bison. On the other hand - Elon Musk is merely weird or strange. Your tale enhances my opinion.

But how much does it weigh?
