Elon Musk

Even Reddit seems to be turning on him

geeeeeez it always gets worse

New: Here's the text message from @elonmusk telling SBF he's "welcome" to roll his public shares into Musk's twitter, as Liz reported https://t.co/7yS5166PtP pic.twitter.com/UpjC4GfBBW

I don’t believe that Elon did not know who was texting him. I think he was negging him because SBF wasn’t putting up more money. This is the dorkiest soap opera ever.

fwiw "So long as I don't have to have a laborious blockchain debate" is the only likeable thing musk has ever written, and it was in ref to a meeting with SBF. https://danluu.com/elon-twitter-texts/#62

hahah of course michael grimes is the SBF connect

the hilarious part is that Musk got so unbelievably triggered by that exchange that he went back to it over 3 years later and replied. talk about rent-free pic.twitter.com/oznRQZwcJi

The people have spoken.

Amnesty begins next week.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei.

app stores have in the past removed social apps that didnt do enough moderation

There was a once famous political formation that styled itself as neither right nor left while worrying about civilizational suicide. https://t.co/npQvtEdETQ

Re app stores, I feel like the only actually good thing that could come out of that is a coked up litigious billionaire taking on apple re its App Store policies.

i have to admit having some sympathy for Apple's dictatorial control over its app store because i see it as a kind of content moderation and i'm pretty convinced that the only content moderation that works is total dictatorship

sure but it does not work in the case of apple. the app store is full of literal scams and gambling adverts.

lmao

If Apple & Google boot Twitter from their app stores, @elonmusk should produce his own smartphone. Half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone & Android. The man builds rockets to Mars, a silly little smartphone should be easy, right?

I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone

“We surveyed 442 Twitter employees remaining at the company, and asked them: Do you believe Twitter will succeed under Elon Musk’s management? Eighty-nine percent said ‘no’ https://t.co/qpRo1ffMCI

This was the plot of a “W/ Bob and David” skit!

You have to have a Twitter email address to get on the Twitter blind, but you don’t have to keep it to stay in. Given most employees have quit or been fired, I assume most of this 400 people don’t work at Twitter any more.

credit where its due to musk for knowing how to annoy these guys into spending something lol

there's so much legitimate stuff to castigate this guy for, how on earth are people choosing to go with 'fact-checking his account of his infant son's death' (in the context of explaining why he won't let Alex Jones back on twitter ffs)

youre giving him too much credit

annoy more like threaten to destroy trumpily

i doubt theyre too afraid but on the other had why risk it

His first wife has told that story before. Article very interesting reading.

I mean if the result of the fact checking shows he is clearly lying in his account it feels p valid tbh that’s a fucked up thing to do

it's one thing for his ex-wife to respond with her own account, but for hundreds of random twitter users who weren't there and don't know any of these people to jump in feels ghoulish to me. something specifically horrible about twitter as well, flattening out everything from the most to the least trivial thing imaginable into an opportunity for owns and receipts and quote-dunks

hes also used the death of his child as the origin story of why he wants to save humanity via his companies, which of course is not something he actually wants to do, so its worthy of criticism

It’ll be funny if they manage to fire him from Tesla for spending too much time on Twitter

(xp)
We already knew this guys sucks, it’s just nice to be able boil it all down to one catchy soundbite that everyone can relate to.

Since Elon paid 44 billion to make himself the permanent main character of Twitter, Twitter users are naturally going to be interested in his grotesque lies.

for sure will be interesting to see what happens to his unprofitable companies stock prices thatre propped up by his reputation as a genius if his reputation continues to tank

+his estate is comprised almost entirely of stock in said companies
