Elon Musk

this has to be intentional, right? there's no way this is well-meaning or some sort of radical business galaxy brain shit; he must be intending to tank the company, though i don't know or care enough to try to discern why.

at the $14.99/month level, yes you can
xp

need to get some of that 14.99 great price cheap

forks he’s just a dumb guy, no galaxy brain about it

stupidest possible move theyre just going to haunt you forever now

xp i’m just recognizing excellence

i'm not arguing musk is not dumb, just that this level of dumb seems theatrical to the point of disingenuousness

that feeling is so strong to me, that he’s either incredibly incredibly high or he’s so beyond billion $ that NOTHING MATTERS in a beyond normal rationality level. nobody could be this nonsensically dense

i have no idea about his drug habits and stuff but the coke thing seems very plausible. especially when he was advising his employees to get more intense and just fire themselves up to work nonstop and embrace the intensity, i mean, lol

hes def not doing it on purpose but there is some sort of pathological sabotage happening, he wanted to buy twitter because hes obsessed with it, but its a love/hate relationship, its the place where hes most criticized which also makes it the place he most wants to be accepted, he tries desperately to fit in by posting memes and receives more grief in return, he thinks if i just owned this thing i could fix it so it doesnt bother me anymore, so going in he already has an urge to destroy at least some aspect of it, and his emotional neediness is overwhelming any sort of business rationality

i'm just glad this is happening with something essentially useless and he didn't somehow buy five major airlines and now no one can fly anymore

xp ^too long for a tweet. you shld email him

i dont think hes on coke but would be very surprised if hes not a long time abuser of adderall or the like, then once youre on that never sleeping and so forth youre prob gonna need some benzos to deal with the anxiety and even you out a little

said cocktail is not great for impulse control

Mr. Kaiden asked managers to verify that they knew certain employees and could confirm that they were human, according to three people and an internal document seen by The Times.

Lol: Twitter sent an HR email to every laid off employee acknowledging it's late getting people their separation agreements and release of claims. But the company messed up the BCC and it has become a reply-all catastrophe.

(some of the sabotage is probably coming from inside the building but outside his head)

xp Mmmm, boiled dog

If you type j-a-c-k, your number one thing should be Jack Dorsey. I mean, that’s probably what you’re looking for, you know?

He's clearly unaware of film Twitter's "top 5 Nicholson performances"

xp

Agree that Elon being on the ole Adderall train makes sense. A lot of Trump in him, who also clearly pops (some 80s version of) prescription speed. Have known folks who fuck with it and I think long term abuse def has some brain rotting potential. Most likely because you’re sleeping 3 hours a night.

But, y’know, that’s just one of his problems.

xpost Sounds like someone turned the algorithm they had for "jack" off.

(that works better said out loud btw)

"The algorithm doesn't have jack" is a bit more straightforward.

it is! thx :-)

xp not really gonna speculate w/r/t uppers other than to observe that twitter really does suddenly seem to have disturbingly strong "working in a restaurant" energy.

I had the same moment yesterday! I just can't tell if he's a lord of chaos cackling from his evil lair about destroying a company or if he's some 15-year-old burnout mumbling "yo, what the fuuuuuck" as the consequences of his braindead decisions compound.

lag∞n's expanation is occam's razor on this one: EM enjoys what twitter does when it roasts others, he wanted to tweak it so it didn't also do this to him, so far it has tweaked him, on a raft of pills and no sleeo he is breaking it as he looks for the magic off-switch for the elon-tweaking

to the evident extent he disdains own 1 x trillion reply guys as not the acclaim he deserves as a poaster he does in fact sorta kinda "understand" twitter, reply guys are not it (and he's not a poaster)

🤣

It's a pretty unique situation. Warren Buffett would, I'm guessing, keep a distance from all he invests in.

Everyone who left twitter: it's your loss. I'm having a great time.

Max always gets it.

Journalists are overall happier, but the quality of their work is worse because they’re no longer afraid of anonymous accounts spoonerizing their names.

The other option is this carries on till Elon Musk collapses of a heart attack.

He'll be the first recipient of the Tesla heart implant

https://media.tenor.com/IQBhkaosCYEAAAAM/heart-fire.gif

it's also compatible with yr Tesla vehicle's engine

Starting to wonder if the financiers of this deal are gonna have a legal case against him for all this

prob not worth the trouble theyll just cut their losses and move on

The heart also makes a fart noise when you have an infarction.

this fuckin guy

Huh, so @elonmusk was wise to Elizabeth Holmes before @JohnCarreyrou?

That's an interesting claim, given that Musk appeared with Holmes at the McCain Institute in April 2015, just six months before the WSJ's first bombshell story. https://t.co/07SX41xI1w

For a second I thought that was another childish dick joke.

Elon gives me very “low information voter” vibe.
