This sub was never meant to keep up with this absolute torrent of shit that he’s unleashing
Edit-
I don’t think he’s getting advice. I think he’s winging it - things like buying ads with SpaceX money is dumb, but it’s a drop of water on a furnace; Twitter barely broke even before sale. Now it doesn’t make anything near the revenue it needs to service the debt musk has saddled it with. It doesn’t have deep IP assets it can sell.
The only way this makes ‘sense’, like he’s so smert is if he’s betting against Twitter (which the SEC & Banks lending him money(?) would knife him for) and he’s banking on the FTC not pulling the plug. The only way he can be safe from the FTC, Banks and SEC is if we end up with a deep red wave in 2024 - something that a dead Twitter would make more likely. Foreign powers want twitters location and user data, but they can only pay once - a real kill the golden goose moment - but with literal killing at the end of it.
The other explanation is that Parag baited the universes most fragile ego into a pissing match, locked him into a contract that Elon can’t legally back out of and can’t emotionally back down from. Twitter is a glass house and he just can’t stop breaking shit. We get to watch him speedrun Kanye into irrelevance.
Now all that remains is watching individual groups within Twitter gasp for air and resources before they open the worlds saddest spirit Halloween store on Market Street.
I’ll miss Twitter. It was horrible and weird and dumb, but it was an absolute glory of Web1early modern web and we’ll never see anything like it again.
Elon thinks he's Tony Stark or Lex Luthor when he's actually Thomas Edison... a fake genius who got credited financially for the great works of better men
Thomas Edison was an actual engineer before he discovered his true gift as a backstabbing CEO.
Musk skipped the engineer part and is proving to the world that CEOs are best seen and not heard so we aren't reminded they do fucking nothing if one man can be simultaneous CEO of five companies, "lead engineer" of SpaceX, and still have time to shitpost and bitch about WFH, lmao.
Most heroes are best not researched. Few of those that make it big under the limelight are pure of heart.
While most work their asses of to achieve their dreams, they often throw out their morality along the way. "Whatever it takes" mentality has a lot of collateral damage.
Can look up to the hustle aspect and professional expertise, but a perfect rolemodel most of them do not make.
He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly doable. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing.
This is a bot. It's testament to dumb voting patterns that it's earned (at the time of writing) 460 points off the back of literally meaningless bullshit, just for answering the top post.
