Fuck Elon Musk (Part 1)

Such a serial innovator :star_struck:

Like many people that don’t 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 it’s not what Elon wants to build either)

Without mentioning the specifics of the China protests, Elon Musk tweeted early on Monday morning that ā€œthe amount of pro psy ops on Twitter is ridiculous!ā€ before joking that ā€œat 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 ā€œI don’t 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 someone’s trying to respond to The Washington Post.

This isn’t exactly the top reason to criticize Musk but that bedside table photo he tweeted out is pathetic and disturbing on several levels.

One of the comments on that article:

Musk’s infatuation with lines of code written has outgrown creepiness and now seems quasi-religious. I don’t understand how much he doesn’t understand.

But he has guns! Like, next to his bed, so he can look at them while he…thinks…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

I’m 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 ā€œdisciplinary collarsā€ in case things turn south. I’m 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 ā€œnever before has a man been this divorced,ā€ along with other references to ā€œdivorced dad energyā€ and photos of Kirk Van Houten.

Even the gun nuts aren’t 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!

Apparently it’s a prop gun from some sci-fi game. Or so some have said.

The guy has enough money to buy any kind of gun he wants—the flintlock pistols used in the Burr/Hamilton duel, the 44 Magnum Clint Eastwood used in Dirty Harry, a real-life ray gun—and he posts pictures bragging about his non-functional prop replicas? What a freaking loser.
