Elon Musk

the tesla floating in space, courtesy of space-x, is a good example of corporate synergy, where the energies brought into alignment are the dumb ideas elon has when stoned

stoned on cocaine maybe

"ARE YOU READY FOR FLORIDA-GEORGIA LINE?!?!"

he looks stoned

He looks like he's wearing a human suit.

we tried to have him join the board where he would have legal obligations to act in the best interests of the company and all its shareholders but strangely he chose the option to remain a chaos agent

He is now offering to buy the company outright.

It’s weird when someone uses a platform to break federal securities law and then later buys the platform.

god, i bet he's going to somehow introduce crypto into twitter, too

man, Batman (1989) fucking NAILED our current era

it's uncanny how much back to the future 2 and batman both featured the cartoon supervillains, one a total idiot and bitter, the other a maniacal troll who is bitter

Trump will get back his twitter account.

This will be Elon's legacy.

Underground tunnels are immune to surface weather conditions (subways are a good example), so it wouldn’t matter to Hyperloop if a hurricane was raging on the surface. You wouldn’t even notice.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 24, 2022

does this guy actually believe his stupid tunnels are a good idea or is all just part of his pr scam

there is no difference in his own mind, that's the cool thing about post-Trump America

NY Times is saying the Musk and the Twitter board may announce a deal as soon as today.

wonder what hes up to with all this, for a guy who relies so heavily on a a fawning media becoming admin of the media message board seems like a pretty dicey proposition, lot of potential negative exposure there with im not sure what the upside is

maybe its all a pump and dump to keep whatever major account fraud hes running at tesla going

man, if Musk buys Twitter it's going to full of guys making claims they can't back up

Nazis running amok.

Seems like he wants to make it more like Telegram, ie. less interference in people posting whatever they want?

I guess it's pump and dump that he's got planned to keep tunnels open during a hurricane.

i mean you couldnt come up with a better way to get bad press, is he going to reinstate trump whats going on here, this man is supposed to be selling cars

twitter would become unusable and worth nothing overnight if they really went "free speech", even if they just do some minor tinkering around the edges its gonna be a media firestorm, maybe he really thinks he can ride with his meme stock people to... somewhere? idk

my assumption was that it was a pump and dump, no one would actually let him buy it, and he’d unload all the shares he bought as soon as that became clear to him but before the public caught on

we already know the SEC barely slaps him on the wrist, it’d be just slightly more blatant than his last few grifts

yeah thats what i was thinking too but it seems like hes going through with it

not like he’ll be out any cash either way, it’s all borrowing against his tesla shares

there are also policies & laws restricting speech in countries outside the US (I think the EU just announced more today?) that a Musk-owned twitter can't just ignore, so it seems like pure vanity right now

Apparently he has some other ideas too: A crack-down on bots (supposedly this is easier to do as a private company because it will initially impact user-engagement metrics in a negative way, which would cause stock volatility), an option to pay a nominal fee for a blue-check, more transparency around the algorithms. At least you can say one thing for Musk as an owner, he is also a customer, and he seems to have some strong opinions on ways Twitter could be improved. Like those old TV ads: I liked this shaver so much I bought the company!

wld be funny if he came in and just improved the user experience i guess
