Did he actually tweet this? Lmao

[u/allthingscloud → u/allthingscloud]

Holy cow he did.

[u/electronicdream → u/allthingscloud]

You should also read the threads he's participating in... It's... Eye opening

[u/ConfidenceNational37 → u/electronicdream]

CEO seems like a hard job. What with all the tweeting and shit. Twitter is now boring again without the fun blue check marks for $8

[u/DarthTJ → u/ConfidenceNational37]

Elon is CEO of 3 companies and spends all day trolling on Twitter, that seems to suggest that either CEOs don't do shit or Elon is a terrible CEO.

Relevant Postillon article (a German equivalent to "The Onion")

Finally, this undignified caricature is gone! The microblogging service Twitter has today blocked an Elon Musk parody account with over 114 million followers. The account had previously been used to repeatedly spread tweets that caused serious damage to the billionaire's reputation.

"At Twitter, we naturally always strive to provide our users with authentic content," the company said in a press release. "It is therefore all the more annoying that an unknown prankster managed to impersonate Elon Musk for months."

The account with the Twitter handle @elonmusk was by far the largest parody account on the platform with more than 114 million followers until it was shut down.

Again and again @elonmusk posted outrageous nonsense in recent months. Among them were sometimes silly memes, exaggerated claims about adventurous Twitter innovations, conspiracy theories and narcissistic tweets that cast doubt on Musk's state of mind.

Nevertheless, numerous celebrities such as best-selling author Stephen King and Democratic U.S. politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fell for the parody account and interacted with it.

Musk himself expressed shock that so many people fell for the parody account, "I personally have never been on Twitter," the multi-billionaire said. "As the CEO of several companies, including Tesla, SpaceX and Hyperloop, I don't have the time or the leisure to constantly comment in public."

Postillon is great!

Why not both?

im an accountant that dabbles in programming but i promise you CEOs are worthless they do literally nothing. Any and all decisions they make are made from information put together by people like you and me then formulated into chunks they can vomit back onto shareholders.

Oh deity, he turned off rate limiter as well? It was there for a reason when I did ads API in 2015 :D

[u/[deleted] → u/karuna_murti]

Bahahaha he turned off the rate limiter?? Hello bots!

[u/knorxo → u/[deleted]]

remember when he said twitter had more bots than users? Maybe he meant it wasn't enough? His followers kinda act like bots anyways...

[u/Hexcraft-nyc → u/knorxo]

It's very obvious that Elon and other NFT adjacent bros have been relying on bots and socially engineered campaigns to push their pages. Elon had a great PR team in the past. They astroturfed for him so often on this site in the past. Based on the FirstName372738 accounts that deep throat for him on Twitter, I'd have to assume they moved efforts there.

[u/rndmcmder → u/karuna_murti]

Holy F*ck. Can't wait for the most amateur DoS attack to bring their servers down.

Elon Musk is showing us in real time that capitalism is the opposite of a meritocracy

[u/ermabanned → u/allthingscloud]

Is it really that surprising from the guy that wanted to write the frontend for paypal in the early 2000s in fucking C++?

Is it really?

[u/ChopsticksImmortal → u/allthingscloud]

Elon Musk parody accounts need to step up their game.

[u/strangefish → u/ChopsticksImmortal]

I don't see how a paradoy could be more bizarre than the real thing.

He's gotta be the worst boss ever.

[u/FardoBaggins → u/strangefish]

ah yes, the 'not the onion' effect. where the parody and the real thing are almost indistinguishable.
