Elon Musk

I love it

i think a lot of us love it

what's up with me? oh not a lot, just creating X

its great

i love x

wait

if we can get the tesla fans to start thinking 'I love X", ILX, etc, let that simmer for a few years...THEN we reveal ilxor.com and go premium/public

one of the big selling points of this ilxor/tesla merge would be that we have proven systems to moderate troubling content

How is he going to make Xbook even more Nazi-friendly than Facebook?

It's too bad Zuck didn't buy Twitter so you could only experience tweets via VR.

time to put on my tweet helmet and yell at a harvard economist

The Everything App

https://vinyl-records.nl/led-zeppelin/photo-gallery/germany/presence/led-zeppelin-presence-12.jpg

how long until the app that tells you what to do in all respects of your life and rewards you in store credit for doing what it recommends

X will do that. because X will do everything. and while it's at it, it will revolutionize everything. just for good measure. first they have just a few more tiny bugs to iron out of it. but once they do, it's look out world!**

**warning: X may murder small children and cause genital warts.

Never needs ironing

its cool hes building x

some dumb math:

Meta and Snap down on average of 67% this year. Implies standalone Twitter price of $14.00/share ($11bn market cap), based on where Twitter was on 12/31.

Implied premium on $54.20 deal price is like 287% (oh and $13bn new debt package immediately underwater). pic.twitter.com/C2nA6neeqH

blocking all posters here until X is released and then unblocking so i can read your heartfelt apologies

We should sue him, we're X! ILX! Fuk u elon.

My last day was Monday. So sad I wasn’t around for the three hour company 2023 strategy meeting yesterday that was interrupted after 15 mins by news the stock had been suspended.

good times at blue bird industries

"i made ten Gs today"

"yeah you made it in a sleazy way, selling Doge to the kids"

"I gotta buy Twitter"

well hey

Random Musk thoughts, posted on a discord server and copied here:

I think Brandon Sutton or someone adjacent to him pointed out that figures like Musk and Bill Gates/Steve Jobs(in earlier decades) represent some sorta human instantiation of Progress.

Elon Musk is doing big things which means that technology is advancing thus the American People and/or Progress is advancing. Anything that could possibly endanger that conception must be vehemently attacked. It kinda explains why online creatures freak out to defend their hero.

It’s effectively just a degraded, dumber version of Great Man of History belief, where the only thing that advances Civilization are the mighty strides of titans of tech industry, since every possible Avenue of social change has been forcibly squeezed out or discredited

The fact that Musk doesn’t and can’t deliver jack shit doesn’t mean anything, at least not for the moment, since his importance to this crowd seems just to exist as vessel to receive desperate hopes and dreams that Things Are Getting Better.

Eventually his importance will probably fade(or blow up) and some other character will come along, at least as long as we have our current social formation where there’s a need for large figures in the form of tech CEOs like this.

there's definitely something Trumpy about it, the way he tries to take complex, age-old problems and reduce them to very simple solutions that you can fit in a single tweet. it's convincing to some people because he's got that visionary quality to it, like maybe he doesn't know everything but he knows "what's important", blah blah blah. much like Trump there's this sense of "well if he's not brilliant why has he been so successful?" and as time goes on and more reporting gets done it starts becoming clear that this is just how America works. of course both of them push back against all those narratives and insist all the news is fake, and I guess if you're already hypnotized by them you believe it. I think Tesla bought him a lot of goodwill, even if in retrospect, it's not quite clear what exactly he added to that company. as far as I can tell he's mostly responsible for the bad/fraudulent stuff they have going on, but I guess in the meantime he did put them on the map by being an annoying piece of human garbage. so there's that.

App X is how Space X shares its joys, worries

what is going on here

NEW YORK (AP) — Musk lawyers say Twitter won't accept renewed $44 billion bid for the company, ask Delaware court to halt upcoming trial.

bad news: my car battery was dead this morning
good news: the CAA dude who came to boost my battery spent the 10 minutes of waiting for it to charge telling me how much Musk sucks lol

"Twitter will not take yes for an answer," said the court filing signed by Musk attorney Edward Micheletti. "Astonishingly, they have insisted on proceeding with this litigation, recklessly putting the deal at risk and gambling with their stockholders’ interests."

Whole thing is super fishy

seems like musk wants the trial called off before he gives twitter the money and twitter wants to be given the money first

xps more maneuvers and market manipulations methinks

Makes clear Musk is not doing what is necessary to obtain financing. https://t.co/F3ngBEAJ3r

That is a pretty spicy filing from Twitter.

this fuckin guy

'further mischief and delay'

Just this morning, a corporate representative for one of the lending banks testified that Mr. Musk has yet to send them a borrowing notice and has not otherwise communicated to them that he intends to close the transaction, let alone on any particular timeline. The bank further testified that the main task necessary to close the deal—memorializing the debt financing—could have happened in July but didn’t because Mr. Musk purported to terminate the deal.

it really was just a ploy my god what a lunatic

lmao

he needs that money to occupy mars

judge listen the money is on mars, its mars emeralds

ohhhhhhhh you guys

I just figured it out

this is about the Tesla selling window, innit?

seems plausible that he's buying time to sell tsla stock

if thats the case why doesnt he just tell them that

banter heuristic

Musk asks the Court to stay trial while he tries to close the deal.

Twitter won't agree. You can have trial going on and Musk can continue to close if he wants. No problem! Why should they give up the hammer of the trial when dealing with an untrustworthy partner? https://t.co/sfA55sEecc

It all has a distinct feel of Musk's lawyers flailing their arms in an effort to cause delay in the hope of concessions from Twitter. iow, it looks desperate, but the hours are billable and Musk is permitting them to flail away, so why not?

I am just imagining the billing that was going on at these firms getting ready for this trial on this time frame.

i mean justice delayed is justice denied innit homie
