There I made a post on X:

Hey
@elonmusk
, would you consider buying the failing virtual world known as Second Life. I'm sure you could get it cheap. With you at the helm, you could make Second Life great again

ya never know :)

I still keep having dreams about Elon Musk buying it. I'm not sure that would be a boon or a curse. :unsure:
I think it could be either, on an individual avatar level. For instance, I make fun of the Cybertruck so often that I would get banned from a Musk-owned SL very quickly. As soon as he sets a governance filter to flag r/cyberstuck URLs in chat logs that would be all she wrote for me. :D

The sequel will probably be better.

Musk buying SL would be an absolute boon to OpenSIM.

I wish Elon Musk would buy it. He believes in free speech, I'd get back in the forums. Best part, all the whiney left wing shits that inhabit SL would go boo hoo hoo and leave. Wait, they said the same thing when he bought Twitter, but the snowflakes are as thick as ever over there.
Everyone needs a good wank now and then. Hope you feel better.

I keep hearing that phrase since around 2008... so get a life.
Looking back, I can see that the real moneymaker for SL entrepreneurs would have been somehow selling Chicken Little avatars and falling skies.

You post so many images of crashed and burning cybertrucks, I'm sure your picture is on a dart board in Musks office already.

We can get her one of these. It lights up when the buttons are pushed! Anyone want to contribute?



Oh it plays the music as well. Perhaps it is a calming tune. ahhh

Yeah... She's dropped all pretenses of trying to be a reasonable person.
She - like a few others over there and elsewhere - has never pretended to be a reasonable being (let alone a reasonable person).

Quite frankly her banning from the official forum is no mystery to me - thinly veiled rhetoric can only get one so far, as can prodding the line there with one's toes.

Were this SC MK.II I'd be giving her exactly the sort of treatment that ilk deserves.

That's a pretty crowded dart board!
I'm pretty sure that Cody and I are both on that dart board. When he threw his lot in with Trump I post a few comments about who he could fornicate and what mythical very warm place he could do it in.

I'm not sure Cris would let me repeat the comments here .... 😇
