He ā€œexpectsā€ to find somebody else? I’m no business genius myself, but that’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/

Could’ve said something to the effect of ā€œwe’re currently reviewing candidates for a new leadership role blah blahā€ but he didn’t cause he’s a dunce and a jackass.

No one FORCED him to be the CEO of literally anything… he made the choice to buy those companies and MAKE himself CEO! FFS…

I mean…I can almost believe Elon Musk knows so little about engineering he doesn’t actually know whether he’s done any or not.

I made this

Yes, but you see, he had to because they wouldn’t let him engineer or unblock Nazis any other way. :cry:

As soon as he blows up his empire and moves to Galt’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. … 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 — where already huge corporate profits and untaxed superfluous wealth are maintained or increased while many people are denied even life’s basic necessities — can/will end up hurting big business’s own monetary interests. I can imagine that a healthy, strong and large consumer base — and not just very wealthy consumers — 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 — 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 shareholders’ 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 doesn’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 he’ll prioritize boosting the company’s subscription revenue by charging for the blue check marks that Twitter uses to verify some users’ 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.
