a person who keeps trying to steer the discussion, apropos of nothing, towards news of a crypto exchange with a jewish owner should perhaps be a little more circumspect about using 'obsession' as an insult.

I mentioned it twice, its actually in the news and actually matters.

More so than who has a blue tick on a web forum.

twitter is far more circumstantial to the current state of the web, and media generally, than the latest crypto scam in a long line of crypto scams.

the significance of the FTX story, such as it is, is not what takes your interest, anyway, is it? the 'significance' for you is the owner's surname.

i'm still waiting for you to show me some concrete examples of elon's engineering contributions to tesla/spacex (or boring, or starlink, or any other venture). come on, with your expert wikipedia research skills, this shouldn't take you more than a jiffy. show me something elon has engineered using his BSc in business and physics. i'll give all credit where it's due. you only have to show me something. seems like a fair deal?

Telsa stock is down over 50% YTD. Worse YTD performance than Google (30%), Amazon (40%) and the S&P (16%)

Tesla stock is dragging down portfolios and ETFs. ETFs that are considered "safe" still have large Tesla positions they will need to reevaluate.

The Tesla stock was vastly overvalued based solely on people's trust that Musk will eventually come through on his promises. Instead he is doing nonsense with Twitter. I expect the stock to recover but it will never ever reach that high again with or without Musk.

yep, exactly, which is what i said about him above. his entire 'world's richest man' act is a confidence trick, and him being an idiot who is desperate for fame/approval on a social media microblogging site is adversely affecting his entire image. he clearly is not a genius superhuman and a lot of his SV hype were based on that highly fanciful image.

Tesla is still 3-4× pre-pandemic price. That should be the benchmark. Stock market spiked irrationally at the start of the pandemic. We are still due for at least 5% more dip in the stock market

Stop adding what device a tweet was written on? I'm sorry how was that bloaty? That seems like a rather basic feature I see on other platforms as well. Imagine Steam doing that to "fix" things. "We're sorry our service is slow, so we removed the little icon on our chat feature that tells if someone is mobile or not," rofl, "should be good now!"

Who the heck is that Langdon guy butting in all Karen? "You don't want this guy on your team!"

he posted a selfie today with two senior engineers who agreed to be rehired. he said something like ‘i’m so glad you’re back, it’s important to admit your mistakes’. hahahahaha. it sounds like a public lover’s tiff. except it’s a CEO of one of the internet’s main websites. it’s just incredible that people have taken this guy to be some next-level genius.

"It's important to admit your mistakes." Which, his or 'theirs?'

quote the tweet, "Important to admit when I’m wrong & firing them was truly one of my biggest mistakes".

hey, genius: how about not firing 60% of your workforce on your very first day in the office? making a 'statement' didn't inspire confidence in investors that you were going to turnaround the company: it had the opposite effect. meanwhile you lost your entire knowledge base and much valuable expertise. musk playing 3d business chess here!

i'm also confused why the guy who took over twitter to 'promote free speech' and create a 'public forum' is summarily firing any of his employees who express dissent or doubt, whether on twitter itself or on their internal slack networks. it doesn't seem very enlightened and pro-free speech to me to fire people who dare stand up to your harebrained ideas.

The guy on the left reminds me of the Stephen Colbert meme.

Didn't he once say "comedy is now allowed?" Maybe comedy to him is wrecking people's lives.

as always with these people, 'comedy', 'its a joke bro' and 'free speech' don't apply self-reflexively. they're code for "we want to be able to say the N-word".

Is that real? How mortifying for Musk, that is if he wasn't too full of himself to register it.

Literally firing people out of meanness/incompetence, or because randos on Twitter said he oughtta, or because he wants to plagiarize their ideas. Bully-Musk's mom: "stop picking on my little boy!"

uaagh

Musk (and other billionaires) should be subject to the most ruthless, digging, and pressing criticisms, constantly. It's not even like he's some hermit just trying to mind his own business out on a private island somewhere. Buys a politicized social media platform and instantly proceeds to offer his political insight on it. Destroys livelihoods for no good, and maybe legally objectionable reasons. Fatal Tesla negligence (and overall just horrible build quality and aesthetics).

He wants all the credit for good stuff (made by other people, lol) but when people take him to task for the bad stuff his mom is like "oooh, my poor little boy, stop it you meanies!"

Who would assume power of attorney if we have to Britney Spears him for his (and everyone else's) own good?

I don't think giving you power over Musk would be a very responsible thing to do. I would worry for the man's welfare while he slept in bed at night.
