Alt text: A fake tweet in which Elon Musk laments how he’s running out of money to run X/Twitter because he’s a very litigious man. The actual text follows:

Data $4,000,000 Rent $680,000 Lawsuits $500,000,000 Labor $2,400,000 Candles $3,600 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my website is dying

That lawsuit might be the most pathetic one I have ever heard of. It should be thrown out but Muskrat filed it in North Texas for a reason.
