It’s becoming a challenge to keep up with all this.
Truly a titan of industry. A genius of business.
If only everyone had predicted this.
It’s almost like Musk spent billions of dollars for a pair of They Live glasses for each person in the world specifically to use when they look at him.
I will say this - I did see a lot of very funny things because of the impersonating.
Not including the Musk fan boys in that, but some of those tweets are funny, too. In a bizarre way.
Between that and the crypto boys arguing about the latest exchange disaster, it’s been an interesting week.
Except Cohaagen from Total Recall was competent evil.
Life on the Musk colony would probably get wiped out when Elon decided to demonstrate how indestructible the habitat’s windows were.
You’d have to crazy to be working at Twitter right now and not be thinking of leaving with a reasonable settlement; if the company keeps being run like this, it will fail and then there won’t any money to pay former employees.
This chaos of constant bad ideas and reversals could be a sign that Musk has appointed Liz Truss to the Twitter board.
Gee, it’s almost like Twitter moderation wasn’t about curbing free speech, but keeping it from devolving into a chaotic cesspool. Because sites left to their own devices will almost always devolve into that with out some moderation.
And Elmo the Muppet character probably would make a better CEO of twitter than El Musky.
“we are pivoting from our pivots pivot”
Oh good, incoming disaster"solution" inbound.
You just gave me a great a idea for a parody account, were I so inclined to exert any actual energy on trolling that asshat;
Elno, a polite not-muppet that tries to reason with his human counterpart by pointing out all his stupid choices in terms so simple, a 5 year old can understand it.
That makes me smile; thanks!
