They can't handle a little rudeness, but we're supposed to handle our livelihoods being ripped out from under us.

some funny stuff ever since eLoon came up with this stupid idea. I knew it was going to backfire spectacularly. We are in for a laugh riot!!!

The first communication in this article starts off with "Dear Ketamine-Cooked Nazi."

We have one thread where people can post the best ones they find around the net?

We could call it the Official "What I did Last Week" Response to Musk thread.

If you have a better or less wordy title, suggest it!

Hmm, if the AI analyzing all the emails saw what great bargains were available each and every day!, would the AI start internet shopping???

I would sign that e-mail for subscriptions to retail stores and online shopping sites.

Using the name Elmo Muscovy, I saw that name on a pro-Ukraine site, as the name attached to the email.

I reside in an unsafe Russia Federation controlled nation, therefore I don't want to be on a hit list of Eloon.

when you send out a jerk email demanding jerk information you're going to get jerk responses.
