I was browsing a news site and just as I was closing the tab, the headline "Billioneer Elon Musk is dying" flashed through my eyes.

I raced to open the page again and read the headline again: "Billioneer Elon Musk: "Is Twitter dying?"" :doh::sigh:

Oh yeah he said that as a response for not having enough followers compared to say Obama or Justin Beiber and that they don't tweet much despite that many followers.

Musk is literally the 8th most followed account. The whiniest guy.

it really can't be said enough that Elon is genuinely very stupid. Like not normal 'useless piece of poo poo but maybe they know one specific thing like investment returns alright' stupid most rich people are but he's actually just a really dumb person

Tesla and SpaceX are stuck with him but I am curious what the discussion in Twitters corporate legal group was. I cannot imagine they want to tolerate a board member openly musing about their business the way Musk will.

he's so rich that his ideas must be good. if they seem insanely stupid and banal to us then that's just because we aren't on musk's level.

well, he's the wealthiest man on earth and you presumably are not, so it's hard to argue with results, right?

look at telsa. they can barely even build cars, and not very many of them at that, and they're more successful than every other automaker on earth, combined. so who are we to say?

Have to feel pity for the workers of the companies.
You have Professor Smart Person with decades of degrees, or a group, that thought of and came up with a new invention or discovery, spending years designing, ironing out quirks, perfecting it, and finally making it a reality, only for a habitually lying man child with an rear end wig on his head jump out and take all the glory for it.
I wonder how many of those 'I made this' meme comics float around their internal network.

They did grant a board seat, and you know eventually he is going to openly muse about share valuations or make comments about rumoured acquisitions which will be illegal.

nothing makes a social media or internet site regain its popularity or once dominant position but sure throw paid features out there whatever

it’s great that when Musk said twitter is dying because Justin Bieber and T Swizzle no longer tweet and his followers say it’s because they are censoring the Hunter Biden story and banning Trump

Paying for a check mark you’d end up with probably hundreds of Elon Musk knock off accounts suddenly with check marks asking people to give them Bitcoin or whatever and his idiot base would bankrupt themselves in a matter of days falling for it over and over :lol:

“And then when you click Undo Tweet, thugs will go to the home of anyone who ‘dunked on’ or contributed to ‘ratio-ing’ and strike them with crowbars until they agree to delete their roasts and tweet instead that you are cool and handsome. This will be achieved through an app I’m coding called CRWBR that will allow you to hire starving gig workers to commit violent crimes on your behalf, but with an app for insulation from legal liability.”
