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

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

Very smart to antagonize a U.S. senator with jurisdiction over your industry the day after his party just secured a majority in his chamber. pic.twitter.com/zP7XrAYZdd

Lol! keep digging, buddy

And why does your pp have a mask!?

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

Elon gives me very “low information voter” vibe.

"Please do do something to fight woke-ism"

electric wheels spin frantically in elon's head, then burst into flame

Just putting Markey's answer here.

One of your companies is under an FTC consent decree. Auto safety watchdog NHTSA is investigating another for killing people. And you’re spending your time picking fights online. Fix your companies. Or Congress will. https://t.co/lE178gPRoM

This is gibberish. Someone played a trick on him to get him to tweet this.

Btw, I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!

be a real tragedy if SpaceX lost some government contracts

the number of current twitter employees calling their boss out on the companies app sure is something, might say ive never seen anything like it before

Nobody remotely sane would ever work for this guy

Yeah, I’d really appreciate it if some clown who has no idea what he’s talking about kicked in the door of my business, threw a wrench into the machinery, and then publicly shat on the work I’ve been doing on it for 6 years. What an asshole.

Also xxxp’s Elon’s love of Babylon Bee says so much about him. That is some of the most inept “humor” writing I’ve ever encountered.

Ya it has nothing to do with their politics either they just don’t understand the basic mechanics of humor

theres a tweet upthread i think detailing how he was a onion reply guy until they started writing mean things about him and babylon bee was publishing pieces like elon musk builds real life iron man suit

The Babylon Bee is a prime example of how conservatives have been determined to incorporate satire into their repertoire the last few years without ever having figured out how it works. It's not just that they're not funny, they're incapable of understanding anyone unlike themselves and thus can't competently poke fun at their enemies.

SpaceX just bought a big ad campaign on Twitter for Starlink https://t.co/5xXKoZUE1Z

xp

Conservatives obv notoriously bad at humor, but wow like REALLY bad at satire. Throw an evangelical bent into the mix and you’re in truly dire territory.

uhhh isn't SpaceX massively subsidized by the US government? seems very much not legal to do this

elon getting dunked on (proportionately) by the NYT's comedy writer was not an article i expected at the start of 2022
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/11/arts/elon-musk-twitter-parody.html

He’s Michael Scott from “The Office,” whose terrible jokes everyone must if not laugh at, at least put up with. One reason Musk might think he’s hilarious is that every joke he makes gets a glowing response from his vast population of followers. Why? Comedy is subjective. But I bet a few just admire him and want his attention. This can be its own form of cringe humor and mocking it can really bring people together.

But Michael Scott is ultimately well-meaning. And when Musk spreads cruel disinformation about the assaulted husband of Nancy Pelosi, Musk seems less like Scott than the omnipotent kid from “The Twilight Zone” who insists on watching cartoons all day and forces the adults to do the same. Of course, unlike them, we can leave.

it's a full time job keeping up with Kyle Rittenhouse's fanmail, but Elon Musk is a devoted CEO

lemme ask you guys: is there really nothing to this guy? is it that everything the two companies he founded had accomplished has been in fact the work of underlings that he took credit for and he's just another rich guy whose bluster obscures his stupidity? Or is it that obeisance he has received from mainstream culture, combined with the brain rot that twitter has self-evidently rendered upon him, has slowly and steadily destroyed his ability to focus? It is really really annoying that NYT business section refers to him as the world's riches man at least once in every piece, as if any reader whatsoever at this point doesn't know who he is… the way they use that phrase almost seems like they're about to come every time it's employed…

Yeah, I’d really appreciate it if some clown who has no idea what he’s talking about kicked in the door of my business, threw a wrench into the machinery, and then publicly shat on the work I’ve been doing on it for 6 years. What an asshole.

I quit a job several years ago when the CEO forced a CTO on us who did exactly this. It was unbearable. He fired people out from under me, and that was the final straw. He then went on to fire 80% of the engineering team without replacing them, then quit. Stellar six month tenure. It took the company three years to recover.

He didn't found Tesla
