he’s a narcissist who has been trying to insert himself into every global news story for years. thai schoolchildren in caves, wars in ukraine, crypto meme coins: elon needs his own personal brand associated with it in some way.
he’s having a great time with twitter. he’s enacting his fantasies of being a media baron from a bygone age. the ‘protector of free speech’. the guy who will enable future humanity to thrive by providing a classical greek forum! he’s been in the news cycle every single day as the company meltdown has happened, in real time. elon is buzzing, he is high.
but he’s mistaking a large influx of onlookers gawping at the spectacle with meaningful engagement. people are making HIM into the meme. and he’s burning billions of dollars of other people’s money for the privilege of doing so. squandering the good will and confidence of investors across his entire business portfolio.
he said all of a week ago that financially twitter has to turn to a near-50% subscription service. evidently unbanning populist, traitorous blowhards with blood on their hands/tweets, and inviting the shady world of sex work onto his platform is a part of that ‘numbers drive’. but, like with his staff ultimatum, he has ultimately badly miscalculated. with all the quality contributors leaving, nobody is going to pay elon musk $8 a month to watch donald trump occasionally post something memeworthy or cringe.
and that’s to say nothing of the exodus of expertise, technical and legal and organisational. right now every one of his harebrained ideas can be aired. the servers are up. the system stack hasn’t flopped over. (but good luck even deploying or delivering upon the ideas he was spitballing all of 7 days ago; those teams have gone now). inevitably something is going to go wrong at twitter hq and the sum-total of his remaining H1-B migrants, forced into his personal serfdom, aren’t going to have the skills or the phone numbers to fix it.

Wannabe terrorist wanted to “curb stomp” gay people & attack a Jewish synagogue
“God should burn gay people,” he allegedly wrote, threatening to “face or curb stomp the next f****t” he saw.
Teen Arrested for Synagogue Threats Wanted to ‘Curb Stomp’ LGBTQ People: FBI

Tell me again about the militant lesbian teachers out throwing firebombs into the homes of old retired straight couples.

Tom got his happily ever after. Half a billion from Rupert Murdoch.
lol at the idea that this is a symptom of ‘social media’ and not a direct demonstration of ‘toxic narcissistic silicon valley engineering bro’ in real time.

The Bank of England warned last week that the U.K. is now headed for its longest recession since records began a century ago.

yes it’s all oxford’s fault we are in a recession. great analysis chap. as you yourself have been cheerleading for very ‘non-U’ populism and brexit. now it’s an issue of too much elites?
honestly arguing with you is like chewing sand. you’re a totally pointless interlocutor.

"Fake followers" sounds like something Jesus would give a stern lecture to a crowd about.
why are eggheads like this?

Bad enough when parents comment on their children's biological clocks without some random internet nerd picking apart someone's reproductive system too.

Holy shit you're more obsessed with him than me lol. I only liked him originally cause he seemed like a badass scientist and I liked his cars but now he's sorta acting like trump but in the bad ways. I still respect what he's doing for the environment/science and freedom but I don't fully trust him anymoreuziq wrote:

gang shit
what is he doing for the environment? he purposefully derailled (pun intended) plans for california's high-speed railway. he has actively tried to scupper plans to increase public transport cover in the state of california so that he can continue to sell cars (boring tunnels and idiot hyperloops are just a distraction for news media).
what's good for the environment is increasing passenger numbers on trains and buses. not selling luxury sedans to geeks.

TBF, drooz is on the threshold of breaking the spell. Perhaps if realization dawns about how much of a fraud musk is irt engineering, and how shit Tesla build quality is, the spell will be broken.

Sorry, Indian migrants with fake degrees and fraudulent CVs are just as competent as white people who have done rigourous study and have a solid track record of work.uziq wrote:

Stop being racist.

Some of my highest performing classmates were Indians.
Zeek didn't bring up the H-1B dilemma out of nowhere. It's being talked about in tech mags and msm. Remaining workers are hostage to Musk's "hardcore" (barf) doctrine. Being fired or laid off in such a scenario can uproot your life. 'Personal serfdom' is a concise way to put it. Musk is not a stable boss.
How is it being racist to point this out? Meanwhile you're on about Indian fraudsters and big-nosed Jews and subhuman Sub-Sahara.
