Elon Musk

people who pay for online advertising with risky placement love being told how they should spend their ad dollars, especially when the distribution company might not be around in two months

i love confidence

yeah taht whole subthread is delightful

pretty funny to watch all these people argue with a 64 follow account with an av of a sports car, its probably a teenager

So fucking depressing to see actual human beings stanning for a billionaire and they’re not even being paid to do it. In the 19th century were there stans and super fans of Andrew Carnegie or James J Hill?

idk probably, people like a winner they want to be associated with that, thats how you go nazi

rooting for elon musk is like rooting for US Steel

I'm sure there were more stans in an era where there was a sliver of possibility that you, too, you could be a wealthy business owner, but in 2022 lol.

People love Avatar and the Yankees

Capitalism is a virus, they're trying to get infected by rubbing elbows

i asked google "what was andrew carnegie like" but it chose instead to answer this question: "why was carnegie a good person?"

ans = "in addition to funding libraries, he paid for thousands of church organs in the united states and around the world"

i stan the organ tycoon and so shd you

barron's has got me HOOKED with this sneak peak of the analysis behind the paywall

Tesla TSLA –10.29% stock was down again Thursday. It has nothing to do with Twitter. The reason is much more serious.

The mix of inflation and rising interest rates have made used-car prices too expensive for many buyers.

xp ty lagoon!

Huh. For some reason I was under the impression car prices - new and used - had somewhat stabilized.

car financing has gotten more expensive though (via rising interest rates)

it's amazing this stock is tanking solely on the (true) perception that the CEO is a fucking idiot and not because of the issues with the cars themselves.

well the stock did go up like 20x on the perception that he was the smartest most handsome man on earth

I think it's possible that the suddenly inescapable visibility of the CEO, cast and casting himself in the worst possible light, have enticed those simply along for the ride (in every sense) to look closer at the stock and its valuation.

xp ty lagoon!

Chess is a simple game. Understandable when all we had to play with were squirrels 🐿 and rocks🪨, but now we have computers 💻.

Polytopia is *way* better imo, if you like strategy games

About 70% of Twitter’s top 100 ad spenders from before Mr. Musk’s takeover weren’t spending on the platform as of the week ending Dec. 18, according to an analysis of data from research firm Pathmatics. It’s a problem the billionaire can’t afford to ignore, since roughly 89% of Twitter’s $5.1 billion in revenue last year came from ads.

elon otm re kasparov tbf: he is an idiot

it's time for musk to buy kickstarter, then redirect all the funds towards twitter.. queen takes pawn

"but this money was for Timmy's heart surgery"

"yes, but if we don't take it, you won't have a Twitter to post about it on. think before you talk."

ok I was going to say that pattern would make more sense but Neanderthal has gone a step further and confused both with gofundme

although a kickstarter for heart surgery would be great, you buy a heart replacement that's obviously meant to be cobbled together from Alibaba components but they never figure it out and you receive nothing

not pattern, patreon

lol i should know better, I've donated to kickstarters before. must be bitter that anything I funded never materialized.

"thanks for your support, back to the drawing board"
