One of those who led cancel culture of X worldwide was the head of IN ( Internews network).. 99% of their funding came from.... You guessed right . USAID....They received over $500 million.
This is a Pravda link.. take it with a pinch of salt.

Karma.
they use our tax to do dirty things. They are all gonna get exposed

basilico:
How much you think X is worth now?.
It's revenues are down because of the cancel culture.
Banks are buying X debt at upto 97 cts to the dollar. They have sold over $5.5 billion last week. Tells you investors know they will recover the money.
https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/banks-sell-down-55-bln-musks-x-debt-investors-source-2025-02-05/
X minus the debt has a net income over 70% right now
Democrats know X killed their 2024 election chances ,they can kill to get it back under their folds.

cococandy cannot run a lemonade booth. she does not consider being efficient as the most important thing in all aspects of our lives.

Under Elon Musk's leadership, the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has undergone significant financial changes. In 2021, prior to Musk's acquisition, Twitter generated $5 billion in revenue and $682 million in EBITDA, reflecting an EBITDA margin of 13.64%. However, by 2024, X's revenue had decreased to $2.7 billion. Despite this decline, the platform's EBITDA surged to approximately $1.3 billion, nearly doubling the profit compared to its previous performance. Additionally, X has experienced a substantial increase in monthly active users (MAUs), growing from 368 million at the time of Musk's acquisition in 2022 to 611 million by January 2025. These developments suggest a significant shift in the platform's operational efficiency, even amidst challenges such as an advertising boycott that halved revenue but allowed for higher earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA).

Think it through, what will be the process? The US will invade Canada or what? Unless Canada Parliament vote to willingly become a part of the US

Are you wiling to put a bet that in 4yrs time, Canada will still be a separate country

Trump Canada would be better off as part of the United States. Nigeria too would be better off as part of the United States. every other thing he said are joke. The United States cannot just wake up one day and take over a country. the president doesn't have that power.

cococandy:
The way he removed people who knew what they were doing and replaced them with lackeys who he mandated to work overtime with no compensation and dropped twitter value 72% . Let’s watch him do the same to America because America is a social media company.

You these shameless Elon boys need to get a life.

if he removes people who knew what they are doing and replaced them with lackeys, how come the company is still functioning better than ever and adding more features like the Grok AI and many more features in less time?

Assets = Liability + Owners Equity.
Profit (Net income) = Revenue - Expenses
elon musk is making use of this simple equation. it is an equation from the second law of motion in physics. His tesla cars and SpaceX are based on these equations.

you see the bold in your statement? those are the unnecessary expenses elon cut off to make the company report a net profit of at least 1 billion from a revenue of less than 4 billion whereas the previous owner's best performance in 10 years was 500 million from a revenue of more than 5 billion.

allow the man to cook. he knows his physics

You might want to start with learning the English language before questioning someone else's brain development.

Trudeau, President of Canada - Trump isn't joking.
Trump, President of US - I'm not joking.
Bemeruca, Guy who can't complete an English sentence - Trump is joking.

Yeah right, some of us know sarcasm when we see it. 52 year old guy like you, always grumpy will not know sarcasm

cococandy:
Yay the consumer financial protection bureau is gone.
The bureau that has returned over $20b to the consumer since its inception. The one that makes sure companies who commit fraud to the detriment of consumers are held accountable. Such a huge win.


Only a blind person doesn’t know you’re an enemy. That’s why I stopped engaging with you. You’re clearly one of the people who will pop A bottle of champagne watching America crumble to ashes.

Elon Musk transformed Twitter despite the advertising coup campaign targeted at him. Twitter is in a better position than it has been in a decade.

Let the man cook. he knows how to cook

[quote author=basilico post=134086865]CBS: We Regret to Inform You That Trump Is More Popular Than Ever

🚨CBS Dem Activist Margaret Brennan — recently made into a meme by JD Vance — is pained to report that President Trump's approval rating is better than ever.

"He's doing, in the eyes of the public, what he said he'd do. 70% of people say he's doing what he promised."

they cry for nothing

IjeBos:
For the nutters who think this is a negotiation tactic.
Trudeau really believes Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state.
The nuttery of it all

damn you are stupid

it is not a negotiation tactic, it is a joke

52 years old you are still waiting for your brain to develop

FEMA waste of money has got to stop. DOGE

motymop:
Lol, morality my ass

The individual morality means nothing when the group are involved.

Wasn't the bible used to justify slavery.

You are all over the place. People fought and died against their own people and community to free the slaves.

Again, not everyone would accept blood money. It benefits them, it makes their house and street clean but they don't accept it because if their moral values.

motymop:
as i said you are naive.

let me explain something for you. , there is something called groupthink

the group supercede the individual

if 10 people of the same race are in a group, 8 racists and 2 non racists and they all live in a community

if an election is done, the 8 racists will support an individual that thinks like them to be the community leader

if the leader decides that he wants blacks to become their slaves to help make their community clean and help the farm productivity

the leader can create laws to support this idealogy and it will be approved.

now, they allow blacks to become slaves, the community is clean and productivity in the farm increased.

the community is rich but the 2 non racists benefits from the cleaniness and productivity even if they are against slavery.

soon they start seeing the positive influence of the slaves in their community and start accepting slavery

if someone from outside criticize their community, the 2 non racist will defend the law because they are benefitting from slavery, they do not want to lose the benefits they are enjoying from slavery.

The individual white might be friendly with you, says hi to you, come to your birth day party and dances with you but believe they will fight for their interest in the group of other white give economic power to blacks, it is just common sense.

2. you said i was ignorantly generalising, i guess you were on nairaland where a judge in canada denied a nigerian police officer assylm because the judge believed that every one in the Nigerian police is corrupt.

Your analogy does not factor in morality.
There are lots of people that will reject blood money even if it will benefit them.

City being clean is not enough for the two non racists to abandon their morality.

Your analogy falls short

Indians

AmazonTopaz:
I disagree. Inflation was much higher during the midterm elections and Dems did well. They won because of Racism which includes immigration, Transgender issues and hate. Misinformation and propaganda played a big role but Americans are complete idiots. It wasn't about the economy. Mussolini didn't even campaign on the economy but focused on White grievance.

😂😂😂

AmazonTopaz:
Conservatives are beginning to undermine the Judiciary they are going to start disobeying Court order very soon and with such an act I am beginning to doubt if they will allow for elections. American Democracy is in coma.

Madam you have no clue what the court can do.
The court has no power to stop the president from auditing it's own office or branch.

Ibime:
They only won because of the post COVID inflation environment like every other country in the world that changed Government not because of all this far right reh reh reh they've sucked you into

their LGBT crap and open borders has nothing to do with it. the fact that Kamala Harris is a washing machine has nothing to do it with. Oga remain for gutter

GloriousGbola:
silly boy

those are just two oil companies in nigeria

total
conoil
oando
nnpc
mrs
ardova
seplat
chevron
pinnacle

do you think all the companies listed keep a full contingent of IT staff?

you know nothing.

for the past 10 years nigerian businesses have been outsourcing, third partying and trimming benefits

i even have reservations about Livelystone01's statement because shell has plenty of third party contract engineers

as in they have third party engineers in their CORE business
doing the same thing as the full time staff and getting paid a fraction of the wages

one of my guys was in a third contract party role for 10 years before he japaed to canada.
i actually tried to help him get a job in my old place but he was beaten out in the interview.

so i find it hard to believe they will have support roles in full employment when they are third partying core technical roles

Your experience does not apply.
Do they have 3rd party workers or contractors managing their Windows servers, resetting passwords, and deleting or creating new users in AD? your head they touch kai.

I guess Shell was hiring managers

Livelystone01:
No chief, until today NLNG and SPDC still have IT full time staffs.

They may have trimmed their numbers but they still run it full time.

GloriousGbola is so ignorant and its funny

IjeBos:
Bwahahaaah
Jesus, your brain is really wasted on you.
Lol

Lmao, you're too stupid. the website is enough, its all DOGE needs
Mumu hahaha

GloriousGbola:
tell me without telling me that bemuruca and basilisco have never been exposed to ERP data

a lot of noise over information that has always been readily available to the public

You seem desperate. You stupidly think whatever nonsense they are doing under the hood they will put it online for download for everyone to see 🤣🤣

IjeBos:
You mean presentable like this?
USASpending.gov

I realized most of the Trumpers in this thread have no idea how US government works or how agencies are funded.
They somehow think these people are just writing checks from some unlimited pool of money to whomever they want.
It's an over-simplified and idiotic understanding of US Government funding.

no, not like that. for someone who cries all the time, no one expects you to use your brain.
they are looking for useless spending not building a website.

basilico:
So who does this IT lead report to ?

For GloriousGbola if a company employs someone as a manager it means they are not employing people in the same field for lesser roles

he continues to embarrass himself.

these are the pigs on the church today

Canadian reverend and LGBT activist Brent Hawkes says Christians referring to Jesus Christ as “savior” is offensive to other religions.

Even Canada’s churches suck. Wow.

i decided to google NNPC IT vacancies

https://recruitmentwyzard.com/2024/07/28/the-nigerian-national-petroleum-company-nnpc-limited-job-vacancy-lead-it-asset-management-service-support/





this is for a lead role - but like i said - no one will hire a mechanical engineering grad for an IT role
of course now Bemeurca the fraudster will tell us he is really an electrical grad or some nonsense like that

so they don't employ or put out vacancies for Graduate Trainees
you stupid i swear. hahaha

GloriousGbola:
i've said the highlighted multiple times - dunce

or is it that you can't read

whatever the case may be - you certainly were not core staff - a mechanical engineer working as IT

computer science, electrical engineering - those are the people who can get direct jobs as it support, if any

it is a third party vendor cutting corners that will pick a mechanical engineer and present him to serve as IT support

Lol, that's me quoting you donkey. At best, they Hire managers which implies they hardly even hire managers. Mumu I have a computer science degree.

you responded to this my post but you want to make yourself look like you have something tangible to say

bemeruca:
I studied computer science in the UK. In Nigeria, I studied mechanical engineering. I have a project management cert as well. In the UK, I worked in a web development firm. I move to Naija to work with Nnpc.

And you are wrong because cutting corners is leasing IT equipment from ISP since they manage their own shit and connection. You cannot call a contractor to check why there is an IP conflict, why a system is not connecting to the internet, or configure a new modem.

GloriousGbola:
hmmmmmm

this proves what? That they use Oracle instead of SAP?

GloriousGbola:
your experience must be different
i also worked in an oil company a very well known one from 2004 to 2019
in 2006 there was a full fledged it department, internal company security, internal cleaners
by 2015, large portions of these departments had all been outsourced and what we had were managers interfacing with vendors be it oracle, lenovo, etc

your experience does not apply to others. Saying oil companies don't employ IT personnel because of your experience is stupid. Now you are claiming NNPC uses Oracle. I am waiting for evidence. you have no clue what's going on especially when you are not directly involved in the company you think you know because of Google.

How can a person with sense say IT is not the core of their business so they don't Hire IT personnel? At best, they Hire a manager who looks for contractors to do everything.

Livelystone01:
IT is a major department in oil firms.

I know for a fact because I worked with a company that has contracts with NLNG and SPDC. I was the one interacting with these guys the most.

GloriousGbola is a special kind of mumu na. IT is not their core business
like say anyone is arguing for that.

Working in NNPC, we have a lot of equipment we don't own. mostly from MainOne which is now owned by Equinix, they are our ISP (in port harcourt and Benin what i can confirm). we use more than one ISP as we have backup systems in place. they bring in their radio and mount it. we use Satellites to link our oil rigs. those are our contractors. the come and fix their equipment, resolve issues with their modem. we own our switches and firewalls. when we want to connect our printers to the WAN we don't call contractors, when we want to expand out LAN we don't call contractors when we want to configure new Access points we don't call contractors. it is a work of 2 to 4 people. When we want to set up conference rooms we don't call contractors. when we want to onboard new staff transferred to our office we don't call contractors to set up a desktop for them.

basilico:
They use Ms excel to analyze where money is going and from who.

These guys are funny. Ijebos wants him to be 52 years old like him and no achievement

IjeBos:
So, you hire 20 yo coders with no experience in budgets or accounting to go through read only federal govt/databases?
Maga seem to always find novel ways to suspend their senses.

The coder can simply use Python codes to analyze the data retrieved from the database in a presentable form. again, another werey is talking

He is 20 years old (So what), He has no accounting and budget experience Mumu

GloriousGbola is humble again knowing he has messed up

Every enterprise has sections and functions that make the company operate and work as a whole.

GloriousGbola says IT is not the oil company's core business so they don't hire IT staff, they are just 3rd party contract staff 😂😂😂😂

Mr. Google embarrassing himself.

Gloriousgbola also said oil companies don't employ IT personnel, that they are all contract staff 😂😂😂🤣 he even generalized oil companies.

His argument is they don't employ cleaners so they don't employ IT people too. Only engineers they employ 😂

This guy is a special kind of stupid
