To be frank, I don't believe that Elon Musk ever intended to actually buy Twitter. Eccentric rich people do strange things, and there is usually no real rhyme or reason to it. It's almost like he rolled out of bed one morning and decided to... well... just mess with the entire woke Social Media world.

I can't blame him... if I had $43 Billion at my disposal and the world at my proverbial feet, I'd be looking for people to mess with as well. In my case though I'd go after Major League Baseball, but to each their own.

In any case, I think that pretty much most normal people agree that social media in general and Twitter in specific, have become a giant boil on the butt of American Society. It's like we have this amazing invention and the age of information to use to send cat memes and watch Gilligan's Island reruns.

Why do I say this?

Last week, there was a meaningless, little watched (or attended) daytime baseball game in the Bronx, New York City. But a weird thing happened. The Pitcher for the Yankees had himself a whale of a day and had a no-hitter into the 8th inning before finally giving up a single.

In a normal world, that's a headline story on Quick Pitch and Yahoo Sports writes up a nice story on how he's been a solid pick up for the Yankees and how proud the baseball world is of him for doing this thing.

But this is the world of social media. So... a pitcher that literally nobody outside the baseball world has ever even heard about before is suddenly thrust onto the national stage.

Why?

Because more than a decade ago.... he tweeted... and of course, IT IS OFFENSIVE!!!!!
