Such a serial innovator
Like many people that donāt understand the internet he has gotten confused thinking that the users of Twitter are his customers while ignoring his actual customers - the advertisers.
(Note - it would be cool to have a social media network that did that, but that is not Twitter and itās not what Elon wants to build either)
so, basically, twitter sucks?
Without mentioning the specifics of the China protests, Elon Musk tweeted early on Monday morning that āthe amount of pro psy ops on Twitter is ridiculous!ā before joking that āat least with new Verified they will pay $8 for the privilege.ā He followed up with an image of Pepe the Frog accompanied by the slogan āI donāt care about this particular psyop, honestly.ā
The company did not respond to a request for comment from The Verge, but is widely reported to have disbanded its press office. However, a current Twitter employee told The Washington Post that the company is aware of the situation and is working to fix it.
Funny that someoneās trying to respond to The Washington Post.

In the meanwhile Elon is throwing a fit about Apple and trying to claim they hate āfree speechā
Trying to derail public transit throughout North America.
Apologies if this has already been posted in this thread:
This isnāt exactly the top reason to criticize Musk but that bedside table photo he tweeted out is pathetic and disturbing on several levels.
Apparently problems making payroll:
One of the comments on that article:
Muskās infatuation with lines of code written has outgrown creepiness and now seems quasi-religious. I donāt understand how much he doesnāt understand.
But he has guns! Like, next to his bed, so he can look at them while heā¦thinksā¦in bed.
I am most surprised at the lack of tissues and hand lotion beside them
I mean obviously the richest man in the world can afford a level of security that makes it ridiculous for him to have them for any other reason
Iām sure that he does have a gun fetish but plenty of super-rich people are also afraid that their own security team might rise against them, and are looking into technologies like ādisciplinary collarsā in case things turn south. Iām not even joking.
That pistol in the Washington-crossing-the-Delaware case looks like something one would buy from the most American of all home shopping channels at 3 am.
Still ridiculous
One of the popular responses to that pathetic photo is ānever before has a man been this divorced,ā along with other references to ādivorced dad energyā and photos of Kirk Van Houten.
Even the gun nuts arenāt impressed because apparently neither gun is actually functional. One of them is from a video game.
Apple is threatening to apply the rules they apply to everyone to Twitter!
