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.

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

this is how the world ends
not with a merger but with billable hours

Bulk billing dream.

ok man

Elon Musk says his teenage daughter doesn't want to be associated with him because of what he calls 'full-on communism' taught in schools and widespread hatred of the wealthy https://t.co/MNZPabKPbD

gee Elon, maybe you should have been a more positive presence in her life and she would have learned from you how wonderful wealthy people really are.

uh, you have met her by now, rite?

"Can't win them all."

Parenting isn't about winning, you miserable troll.

tbf, who among us doesn't have at least one child that loathes us

it’s tough out here for a g

if you think about it, wealthy people are the real victims in this unfair world

iirc, Twitter should meet Elon Po Po's trick with their own involving the promise of magical ginkgo nuts

I understand they've been lost in the ocean of other stupid things he's said & done, but just wanted to note that his comments about Taiwan are stupid craven bullshit.

lot of ppl are thinking he said it to cozy up to china but i think its prob just cause he likes to talk

he said basically the same thing about russia and ukraine and whats the angle there if anything hes hurting his business by airing an unpopular opinion but he does care he just wants to talk about his dumbass theories

I'm sure there's a lot of truth to that. Everything he says creates an uproar.

Elon Musk is as fucked up as Henry Ford and that's a difficult feat.

he's going to mobilise his stans into an anti-left anti-woke anti-union death squad if we're not careful
