yeah i was extremely skeptical the tweets were the cause of that. probably didn't help but i doubt that it was the catalyst

wonder if there's a similar thing for lockmart's stock losing something like 7% around the same time as that "we will stop selling to the saudis, israelis, and americans" tweet

yeah I mean the followup one of "we can do what we like so suck it" was basically the default market view

like, if you're selling something that people critically need while being unambiguously evil about it, you're not gonna be worried about bad tweets

verified people can't change their names from being on vacation after the name freeze. maybe this will be what finally forces musk to fix things, because if there's one thing he hates, it's workers taking time off

So how likely is it that something happens to Twitter similar to FTX wrt the app and website getting hacked and deploying malicious code?

reminder that the saudis are co-owners in this. they like it when their money gets hosed with right?

they literally love pissing their money away on bullshit. they were the largest investors in the softbank vision fund, the $100 billion fund for putting money into idiot tech companies that could never work

for further evidence, there's neom

fitting though it would be for musk to get the old moonwalking out of a saudi embassy treatment, i really don't see it happening

yeah I’m sure there’s some amount of lost money that might bother them as a matter of principle but when you’ve effectively got $∞ it feels like that bar gets raised

e: unless you combine it with personal insults or sympathizing with dissidents or something

I said in conversation that Musk is a loving moron and some dude literally responded with "he's chief engineer at Space-X and designed some of their first rockets" and I have never laughed in somebody's face that hard.

Could Musk claim he has a brain tumor? Just go into hiding for "surgery and recovery" (rehab/intense personality repair by monks) and come out and try to use this to weasel out of contracts somehow?

Remember when he went on SNL and claimed that he has autism? I remember that he tried to use that to justify some rear end in a top hat thing he said, but can't recall what it was

even if he has aspergers or autism, he could you know hire some relations coach or pr person who would help him in order not to be an rear end in a top hat
