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

Did he really just openly plagiarise Dril's second best known tweet?

That sound suspiciously like what Elons Fediverse account would say.

No, he would steal it from me, say he made it, and then threaten to sue me for pointing it out/give me a pony.

Ok it's fake, never mind.
