It's so funny that after all these terrible decisions, he still saved by far the worst one for last. Pissing off the advertisers, firing 80% of the staff causing the site to break in new ways every weak, bringing back all the worst people on the right - that's all bad. But then he decided to change from one of the most recognizable names in the tech world, with one of the most recognizable logos. A name that has such reach that it's spawned genuine words from it such as "a tweet" and "to tweet". Something basically any company which isn't Google can only ever dream of.

But that's still not the worst part. The worst part is X. Not only does it say nothing about the business, it's near universally connected to online pornography. It's also completely useless for visibility and search results, being a letter of the alphabet.

It's so dumb. And this is the man certain people called a genuis not that long ago on this forum. A fecking genius :lol:
He's such a loser that I would not be surprised if this was part of the inspiration as far back as when he wanted to change the name of paypal to this. Either that or he thinks it's cool.

He's either jacked up on drugs or he's trying to destroy Twitter.

He's not exactly a rocket scientist (yes I know he owns SpaceX), but I don't think he's this dumb. He is a grotesque, petty troll though, and if he'd have fired himself into orbit with the Tesla roadster back in 2015 or whenever it was, both his legacy and the world at large would have been a lot better off.

Because they wield great power and are trying to subvert democracy. :boring:

Bohoo he has a big sign on a building, how dare he… too many self rightous knights of the good fight
Just a big sign.

That they didn't get planning permission for. That they are holding in place with sandbags. That they refuse to let city inspectors look at. That flashes extremely bright LEDs at the apartment buildings across the road every ten seconds, 24 hours a day. That's on top of a building that Musk hasn't paid the rent for in months.

It is indeed just a sign. A sign that Musk is an absolute thundercnut of the highest order. A guy who clearly doesn't think the rules apply to him. And he wants you to put one of his chips in your brain and drive around with your family in one of his cars.

And I'm all out of bubblegum 9️⃣

For those who don't know, Fjordman is the alias of a far-right fascist shitc**t, and also the main ideological inspiration for Anders Behring Breivik, another fascist shitc**t.

Edit: shitc**t has its own filter separate from cnut? At least the kids won't be exposed to my bad language, the little twats.

If something is not broken, do not fix it.

I do not understand what the problem with Twitter was, when Musk bought it?

I am not as read up as others but I think they struggled with how to make it more profitable, and with general direction

He paid multiple times its value so had to make it more profitable to justify paying a hugely inflated sum. Its basically a series of stupid decisions after stupid decision to justify the previous stupid decision.
He said society was infected with a woke mind virus and he was going to save us (by letting more facist's post on twitter presumably)

Whether you're on the wind up or not...:boring:
I've been wondering about that myself, with regards to the sign. It's such an easy one, large obnoxious flashing sign is put up and it's annoying people there. You'd always think it's a dick move, no matter who put it up. As it's Musk though they're compelled to defend it. One guy said no residentials are in sight of it so this makes it ok, some people used verifiable evidence to show he was wrong, and he just sarcastically segued into rhetoric about how it's dumb to complain about the sign with all the homeless and dirty streets there are. I wonder if they're self aware and do it for attention, or if they're genuinely oblivious to any flaws and think his decisions are always correct.

Bit like the white knight comment, while he's the one defending a stranger from any criticism.
