In fairness, given his inability to retain staff, he’d solve our Ronaldo problem pretty quickly.And to think, some fans wanted him to buy Utd

He's taking away lefties ability to make fun of himDoes anyone else think he's doing this on purpose? I just cant believe that this all is not intentional. As a programmer some of the stupidity is like buying a Michelin stared restaurant and serving burnt toast. Its too ridiculous to be accidental. I cant figure the reasoning but there must be one.
Ford helped revolutionize how the majority of people move about, then started a antisemitic newspaper in later years. Howard Hughes helped develop air travel, then turned into a recluse that didn't leave a Vegas hotel. He's far from being the first captain of industry to lose his marbles.Does anyone else think he's doing this on purpose? I just cant believe that this all is not intentional.

I did wonder but it’s too far fetched when you think how it’s destroying his brand and scaring Tesla customers and investors away. It doesn’t exactly bode well for any hopes he has of making SpaceX publicly listed.Does anyone else think he's doing this on purpose? I just cant believe that this all is not intentional.

People will always find a way though. The internal is too powerful a vehicle.He's taking away lefties ability to make fun of him
Take picsIs there a way to save your Following list? I'd like to know who to look up if it does go down and everyone switches to something else.
and he's not even a "captain of industry" so makes it even easier to believe.Ford helped revolutionize how the majority of people move about, then started a antisemitic newspaper in later years.

Must be a quicker way that isn't scrolling down and taking a screenshot 5 accounts at a time.Take pics
100% - would never admit he got stuff wrong, you know, like a good manager.He’s basically now setting up the narrative that this is what he wanted isn’t he?

He kind of did. Paypal was created when Elon Musk (X.com) and Peter Thiel (confinity) merged their companies in a 50-50 merge, with Musk being the initial CEO (he was ousted in favor of Thiel, I think 8 months later). The merge is described in length in Peter Thiel's book, but essentially, both him and Musk realized that if they continue competing against each other, both companies would be screwed.Always makes me laugh when people keep up with many myths about Musk;
He founded Paypal - False
He founded Tesla - False
He is a physicist - False
He is a rocket scientist - False
He is an engineer - False
If you check out plainsite.org and Aaron Greenspan (who left twitter the week or so before Musk took over) you can see all of the law suits and fraudulent activity of Musk and Tesla.
I genuinely think he's just been surrounded by yes men for too long, and has bought into his own hype from his adoring fan base, to the point where he thinks he knows best on every single topic. When things go to shit, he doesn't know how to deal with it, because he refuses to face the possibility that he may be wrong on something. He won't solve this without showing some humility and listening to others, and that doesn't seem likely to happen.Does anyone else think he's doing this on purpose?

He will say its beneath him... appoint somebody else to run it ... probably turn it into a musky trump fest of top G's owning the libs and milk it for all the crypto / political advertising he can get out of it for a few years?I genuinely think he's just been surrounded by yes men for too long, and has bought into his own hype from his adoring fan base, to the point where he thinks he knows best on every single topic.

It might be insignificant, but think back to when he brought that sink into the office. His shit-eating grin just screamed that he thought he was incredibly clever and witty.
It’s not his shit posting which is getting people hysterical. It’s the fact he’s firing/losing almost the entire dev team.Find it hard to believe Twitter is actually going to go anywhere, and that most of this isn't just hysterical people being hysterical.
Apparently the few staff that are still there are all that’s needed and Elon is a genius for seeing this. A lot of people seem to genuinely believe web devs, engineers etc don’t actually do much.It’s not his shit posting which is getting people hysterical. It’s the fact he’s firing/losing almost the entire dev team.
There seems to be this idea that web applications like Twitter just work without any maintenance once they are up and running but it couldn’t be further from the truth.
As much as anything, Twitter is dependent on other tools and frameworks at every layer of the tech stack and these need to be kept up to the latest version as security updates are released. Leaving it stagnate is not an option and it’s a prime candidate for a major hack.
Tag himYou'd like to think this will be a lesson to the dweebs who think rich people are smarter than everyone, but it won't be.
Oooh. Look at the computer nerd guy pretending computer nerd guys are important. If it really goes tits up we all know that Elon just needs to turn it off and back on again.It’s not his shit posting which is getting people hysterical. It’s the fact he’s firing/losing almost the entire dev team.

If you're so smart, why are you poor?You'd like to think this will be a lesson to the dweebs who think rich people are smarter than everyone, but it won't be.
I make a decent wage tbfIf you're so smart, why are you poor?
Topped up by selling NFTs of the memes created by caf users no doubt.I make a decent wage tbf
There is egotistic. There is being surrounded by yes men. And then there is just plain stupidity. Things like charging for verification can be put down to him having a big ego. Things like pulling down services which result in users not being logged in or firing 80 percent of your workforce, or rating devs by lines of code makes absolutely no sense. To me thats not down to personality. Its intentional destruction.I genuinely think he's just been surrounded by yes men for too long, and has bought into his own hype from his adoring fan base, to the point where he thinks he knows best on every single topic.

I think most of us find ourselves in the peanut gallery on this one rather than hysterical over it. He knows he needs to cut costs but from the sounds of the effort/thought put into it, he might as well have done it by firing everyone whose surname begins with A to T.Find it hard to believe Twitter is actually going to go anywhere, and that most of this isn't just hysterical people being hysterical.
Where’s the motive though? He is now facing a financial loss of tens of billions, impact that spills into his other ventures, and public humiliation (even if he doesn’t see it like that).

Bold prediction, but far from impossible. We'll be here for it.I reckon Twitter will turn out to be better and profitable within 24 months.
He does appear to have unwitting happened upon Twitter’s absolute sweet spot: the ability to call people paedos online without fear of consequence or retribution.I reckon Twitter will turn out to be better and profitable within 24 months.
I don’t even think it is that bold.Bold prediction, but far from impossible. We'll be here for it.
We can't be certain of the motives, but there's a certain element of hubris for sure. A lot of stuff he's touched turned to gold and that inflated his ego and made him think he's infallible. I reckon he feels he's doing the right thing.Where’s the motive though?

Bold statement. We'll be here for itI don’t even think it is that bold.
It's like watching a plane on fire about to hit the ground and saying it's going to reach its destination safely but sure.I don’t even think it is that bold.
This has made me morning, thank you good sir!Ooohhh, it’s fun with math time.
he has owned Twitter for 21 day. Let’s assume a hundred dollar bill takes 30 seconds to burn and weights 1g
44 billion = 2.1 billion per day
= 87 million per hour
= 1.45 million per minute
= 730K per 30 sec
= 7,300 $100 bills per burn
= 7.3 kg burned every 30 seconds,
= 14.6 kg burned per min
= 876 kg burned per hour
= 21,000 kg burned per day
= 441,500 kg burned total
= mass of 4 blue whales, 3 747’s, or the ego of one gigantic billionaire prick.
Not when the plane was already one fire before he took overIt's like watching a plane on fire about to hit the ground and saying it's going to reach its destination safely but sure.
