I am learning about all the other crap that goes on in social media too

this is actually a really valuable tool that can be used, for instance, to determine whether a tweet was made using a commercial social media management tool or by an individual using the app on their phone. https://t.co/FwCeSZIJEu

I'm great at detecting when a tweet was composed by a tool

ayy

he paid $44bn to be the annoying dumb guy on the message board everyone can't help roasting 24/7

someone needs to start a ban elon thread

why were any banks willing to loan elon money for this?

hes one of the richest ppl in the world, they want his business, they didnt realize how bad hed fuck it up

waste (of compute) man

xp true but expecting any company to pay $1b a year simply to service its debt doesn't seem like a recipe for getting one's money back

that banks are already, after two weeks, floating the idea of selling off that debt at 60 cents on the dollar doesn't speak well of them

They did a big ol whoopsie doodle

is there a good podcast episode that gives a rundown of all that has happened? want to drift off to sleep learning about the chaos.

i think most large banks have a line item called "fucking around" where anything goes, worth billions

no that's the Finding Out line item

so when do we start calling these events Elon-gate?

If there’s ever a scandal about me, *please* call it Elongate

aha, ok, too predictable, got it.

Why did he move so quickly to change things before understanding the company?

idk its genuinely bizarre

exact same as when liz truss became prime minister and completely tanked the pound within the first month

he's surrounded by yesmen so dense-packed they cause a two-way event horizon

had missed this exchange from the texts via the court case

i don’t think this website will thrive :( pic.twitter.com/RoHU6Vuxq7

Or when Trump promised a quick fix to two 70-year old crisis in exchange for a Nobel peace prize
Apparently to the megalomaniac, genius consists in proving that everything is in fact simple, everybody else being dumb and faking it. I also have a hard time understanding the fascination this kind of psychology exerts on the people who want to believe in them (in the megalomaniac). Maybe they're the same at heart ?

At least Musk face-planting has only modest repercussions.

NEW: Employees who have criticized Elon Musk in Twitter’s Slack channels were fired overnight over email.

“We regret to inform you that your employment is terminated immediately,” they’re being told over email. “Your recent behavior has violated company policy.”

— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) November 15, 2022

Who Said It: Elon Musk or Mr. Burns?

I got 75%

67%

Employees say it appears that around 20 people have been fired so far for their Slack posts.

tinpot dictator

me: I need the most obscene executive compensation package ever, tied almost entirely to stock price rather than core business metrics, because *checks notes* I am called by prophecy to storm heaven and overthrow God

chair of the board of directors: makes sense, where do I sign? https://t.co/iv9cWqOK2w

dammit, i meant that for the twitter thread. it makes no sense here, on the elon musk thread

Mr Musk, uninformed all around,
Helmed Twitter & ran it aground.
The tweeting however
Was better than ever
For daily this man was beclowned

— Limericking (@Limericking) November 15, 2022

weird how he always seems to be replying to the most vile right wing accounts

I am blocked by a man named CatTurd2 on the internet, making it considerably harder for me to figure out the business strategy of the richest man in the world. pic.twitter.com/yA7Z8KgUmp

sad all the musk fans gloating over these firings when obviously the people knew they were likely to be fired and did not care

god it's just full mask off with these people. one day they're celebrating because "free speech is legal again!" and the next they're cheering on the richest man in the world as he fires anyone who dares to correct him

stone cold losers

Just the same fantasy over and over of the big strong man who will grind their enemies under his boots.
