Holy f*ck.
Holy f*ck.
I know most of y'all have fully abandoned Twitter, but good lord if he actually does this (which is not guaranteed mind you) a LOT of vulnerable people are going to get hurt.
You're viewing a single thread.
He has to be destroying Twitter on purpose, there's absolutely no way a person could make this many perfectly idiotic decisions in a row unless it was deliberate.
What I don't know is why you'd buy a social media platform for $44b and deliberately speed-run it into oblivion, but I'm sure the reasons are not good.
he's a failchild that's failed upwards his entire life and is surrounded by yes men. he's remarkably stupid.

The most obnoxious Tesla stan I've seen in the federated space so far has also gone full
in the thread about Youtube taking aggressive measures against adblockers. Paypiggies gonna be paypigs; they're empty inside and the consumer identity markers are all they got.
He's really not clever or competent. From what i understand the only reason tesla and space-x can function is that they've developed proceedures for keeping him distracted and steering him away from things he can break, and even that is a constant challenge. With twitter there was no time to learn how to manage him, he just smashed through the wall, shit on the rug, and set the drapes on fire.
SpaceX has the added constraints of being a NASA contractor. For example, even though Crew Dragon was designed and built by SpaceX, has to strictly follow NASA safety and reliability specifications. NASA has a huge amount of oversight into their operations even though they're technically a private company. Which is as it should be.
That's what I was wondering, because he's obviously not a smart person but things like SpaceX seem to basically function, and if he ran those the same as Twitter it'd literally be headlines like "SpaceX fires all its rockets directly into the ground for no reason" lol
IIRC that was the direct result of Elon demanding that they ignore certain safety procedures or something. Can't remember the details though but I read it somewhere.
I seem to remember about 2 rockets went waaaay off course and had to be destroyed before causing further damage. It took them about 10 years before the self landing it started to work out
In my job, my clients are usually executives or VPs. They do dumb shit like this all the time. A lot of these people get to these levels of leadership for reasons that have very little to do with their competence, and they have big egos and don't listen to anyone, even when you put lots of evidence in front of them that their ideas are fucking stupid.
This right here. Steve Jobs is literally dead because of this. He rode this to the grave. He had a very very treatable form of cancer, but literally believed he could formulate his own cure using fruit juice, until he really started dying and it was too late to cure.
And he was 100x the CEO musk is. Still an absolute narcissistic and psychopathic monster, and literal crime boss, but y'know,
He tried to get out of buying it as he admitted he was trolling. The guy's an idiot, thick as shit. For the past 40 years of his life he's had people massaging his ego and now it falls apart he's having a tantrum.
Sure this man, gentle and of noble blood, could not be a fool! Elsewise why would the Lord God Almighty bestow upon him the natural right of rulership?
Very simple
Communist posters were becoming too powerful. The website had to be destroyed.
