Musk v Mark = You lose

I awarded three stores because this podcast is tolerable. Although the profound interviewer tends to ask a lot of questions that the interviewee literally just answered. But otherwise, it’s tolerable. However, I had to kick it out of my list because they decided to dump their Twitter handle and take on instead of threads handle. Now I don’t play in either game, I don’t do social media at all. none of it. I think it’s childish and ridiculous. but for you to dump Twitter to run into the arms of Mark Zuckerberg, tells me that you aren’t very smart. You jump right out of the far end into the frying pan.So I have to go now.
