OK. I found out his business plan:

@TFFPrisoner @taylorlorenz

Exactly. Any type of snake oil would be drawn to this remaining cesspool. This could be a boon to the FTC as a honeypot for swindlers.

@vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie @lauren

Agreed, but some part of that could be organic. Maybe he has rabies.

@taylorlorenz

Let's try to imagine advertisers this will repel, vs. advertisers it will attract. I do not think car companies (Except Tesla), aerospace companies (except SpaceX), streaming services (except porn), or anything aiming for families to advertise.

On the other hand, I could see Fox news, Truth Social, arms manufacturers, tobacco, gambling sites, going for it. Supplements, like Alex Jones will go there. Definitely, anyone regulated by the ATF would find it attractive.

In a few months he will be able to sell Twitter for millions of dollars.

I wonder how much of this might be due to his Asperger's syndrome. Some of this behavior may be due to his inability to understand the underlying social contract of society.

Not meant to excuse his behavior. Just trying to understand the obvious self-destruction.

@ErrataRob

This seems well sourced and presents a more nuanced view:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne#Use_of_the_word_Champagne

While the term champagne can be legally used in the USA to refer to some sparkling wines that had the right to use those labels before 2006, new wines may not use the term. Over 70 countries put legal restrictions on the term.

So, both of you would be right, in some ways.

But, it is kind of like calling this Bourbon:

@michelemccarthy Never was able to share a vision with another homo sapiens.

@marcelias I can imagine how much that will appeal to advertisers

I expect most people would draw the line at someone trying to get you and your family killed.

Maybe, I am odd. But, it definitely crosses my red line. I would have trouble forgiving someone attempting to kill me.

But, I guess he takes "turn the other cheek" to the extreme.

@aristeon @michelemccarthy He does not seem to be improving his status with this. (At least in my eyes.)

@rbreich

I also wonder why Catholic clergy have not considered withholding communion for politicians/judges that support the death penalty and 2nd amendment

@rbreich

See:

Faith, slavery, militias, and the 2nd amendment have a long history together.

@michelemccarthy

He has done everything short of hang himself to curry favor with Trump voters. Sometimes, I wonder why he does not do that. It would be less humiliating than what he is doing now.
