He ā€œexpectsā€ to find somebody else? Iā€™m no business genius myself, but thatā€™s just weak sauce, no different from saying ā€œI thinkā€¦ā€ that something will happen. ā€œOver time,ā€ criminy, make another entry in https://elonmusk.today/

Couldā€™ve said something to the effect of ā€œweā€™re currently reviewing candidates for a new leadership role blah blahā€ but he didnā€™t cause heā€™s a dunce and a jackass.

I meanā€¦I can almost believe Elon Musk knows so little about engineering he doesnā€™t actually know whether heā€™s done any or not.

I made this

Yes, but you see, he had to because they wouldnā€™t let him engineer or unblock Nazis any other way. :cry:

As soon as he blows up his empire and moves to Galtā€™s Gultch, someone needs to buy the property next door and put in a chemical dump site.

It would be hard to pity his mega losses. ā€¦ The more he made, all the more he needed to make next time. Such gratuitous greed is obscene and immoral, especially when the superfluous profit comes out of the hide of those with little or nothing.

Still, there must be a point at which the status quo ā€” where already huge corporate profits and untaxed superfluous wealth are maintained or increased while many people are denied even lifeā€™s basic necessities ā€” can/will end up hurting big businessā€™s own monetary interests. I can imagine that a healthy, strong and large consumer base ā€” and not just very wealthy consumers ā€” are needed.

Or could it be that, generally speaking, the unlimited profit objective/nature is somehow irresistible, including the willingness to simultaneously allow an already squeezed consumer base to continue so ā€” or even squeezed further?

When it comes to unhinged capitalism, one sees corporate CEOs shrugging their shoulders and defensively saying that their job is to protect shareholdersā€™ bottom-line interests; and the shareholders meanwhile shrug their shoulders while defensively stating that they just collect the dividends and that the CEOs are the ones to make the moral and/or ethical decisions.

ā€œAt its heart, Twitter is a software and servers company, so I think this makes sense,ā€ Musk wrote.

Twitter doesnā€™t earn its revenue from software or servers. The company operates like a publisher, attracting users who share their thoughts and read those of others on the platform, then charging advertisers to access that audience.

Musk has repeatedly said since taking over that heā€™ll prioritize boosting the companyā€™s subscription revenue by charging for the blue check marks that Twitter uses to verify some usersā€™ identities, pleading with critics that ā€œWe need to pay the bills somehow!ā€

Trying to salvage a sinking business by guilting readers into paying more for the service is also a hallmark of the publishing industry.
