i didn't miss that point, i even called it out in the part of my post you're quoting.

Then you don't understand that terms can have extremely specific meanings in industries that don't 100% jive with common language usage. You are literally making the exact same errors as a creationist arguing that evolution is just a theory

I just want them to at least start doing things like creative prewar paint jobs. Hell, if we're at the point that we need to spend a few grand on a ding then bring back the color shifting paint from the 90s

Good thing the contract that musk signed doesn't say anything about outside financing, because that fact (if it's a fact in the first place) is completely irrelevant. It's no different than someone trying to convince a bank to not be mean about overdue credit card bills because they haven't won the lottery yet

What does this mean, for those of us that don't code or whatever?

It's the number of times a person saved a change to twitter's internal software guts, regardless of how impactful those changes were. It's exactly the same level of thinking as someone who thinks a painting's value can be measured by the amount of paint used

Weird, this is one of the best weeks I've had in a really long time. The GOP are going knives out on each other, crypto markets are imploding, and Elon is tanking Twitter and Tesla all at the same time.

Ah, true, I kind of mentally group all of those threads together since they kind of have the same flavor and I assume we all have them bookmarked. For clarity's sake, the eh week was referring purely to personal life stuff that doesn't matter in this thread, it wasn't a stealth chud remark

The Ligma tweet would be a (good in a vacuum) joke if it happened the by the day after the initial news coverage. The fact that it happened at this point in time makes me suspicious that he's trolling through media coverage about the firings to find out who to doxx

So how did musk find that tweet in the first place? It doesn't look like a big name and i doubt he's subscribed to random nature feeds. Did he actually just search for new tweets containing "88"?

He could have spent a fraction of the money on a company that just builds assets and pays actors to put up with whatever bullshit fantasies he wants 24/7. This week he's a tech boom genius riding the startup days at paypal, next month he's an oil tycoon in the 1800s, the month after that he's the captain of an intergalactic colony ship mid-voyage

And the funny thing is, Apple probably doesn't have to lift a finger; Twitter will probably destroy itself from one of several likely crises: a cert ending and the institutional knowledge that could renew it was fired, Euro labor laws, not being able to pay bills because over half their advertisers walked....

Wasn't there a whole thing about the company not qualifying as having its headquarters internationally any longer, which could potentially open it up to massive taxes?

It really does sound like he had “I’m pickle Rick!” on his mind and he said that.

Or even more appalling than a slip of the tongue, what if it's his idea of an actual legitimate joke? "I know, I'll combine his line with a Rick and Morty reference! It subverts expectations!"

As a tangential delve even deeper into the darkness, what if he thought of the joke first while high and watching YouTube clips, then he called Chapelle up and paid to have some stage time to share his genius with the world
