Elon Musk

LinkedIn has become infested with right-wing political posters. Many of them have probably been kicked off other sites.

From the little I see a lot of the Indian IT guys on LinkedIn are Hindutva. See more of that on there than Indian twitter but I'm sure that's fucked too.

still think about that ILX post that said something like "Biden telling Trump to shut up on live TV is probably gonna win him the election"

was actually talking about that moment a few days ago, good stuff

TSLA bagholders are in shambles. I should feel sorry for them but honestly fuck them.

August 9th lmao

Yes.

In the (hopefully unlikely) event that Twitter forces this deal to close *and* some equity partners don’t come through, it is important to avoid an emergency sale of Tesla stock.

it's starting

paywall'd but the lede suggests that crawford is a "the chinese word for 'crisis'" kind of person

tbf if half your company is getting fired there is no doubt room for advancement for people who are willing to be dogs for the new management

for sure

the most brazen are the "I'm the thought leader now!" type she seems to be aspiring to

the funnier one is "well, you can't _completely_ dispense with managers" and they end up managing something like 30 people after the organization is flattened

Seeing quite a few folks in my timeline specifically deleting their accounts today. Is this just because of the new verification thing going live?

who even knows? the migration urge or decision to stop using twitter seems like it's gotten more momentum and it's maybe incrementally building

Didn’t take long for the first blue tick scam to appear. Almost 27,000 retweets on this one. pic.twitter.com/RqLyQ2cPqC

cant believe people are leaving right in the middle of the biggest ever board mod drama lol

Please note that Twitter will do lots of dumb things in coming months.

We will keep what works & change what doesn’t.

tbf that's pretty much how twitter worked for years, so maybe the glory days are back

there were a bit fewer users then, though lol

Did he get rid of “official” the day it launched?

I just killed it

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 9, 2022

Can’t tell if he’s talking about that one account or the entire feature.

check around a bit, it's gone

amazing, poor Esther

I think you can still buy yourself a blue check, right? idk

Tesla shares still falling

down down down

the stock is down because Elon is unloading a chunk into the market

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/08/elon-musk-sells-at-least-3point95-billion-worth-of-tesla-shares.html

is that bad

Didn’t that happen a week and a half ago?

i also unloaded 3.95 billion worth… of poop

if you want to short tesla then this is one way to do it

I'm sorry, some clown launched an ETF that was just 7 different short TSLA positions? Short equity, long bear put spreads, short QQQ, long an inverse QQQ ETF, QQQ puts, short ARKK, long an inverse ARK ETF? https://t.co/IOTFSBqQtX

lmao

I just listened to Elon Musk on a Twitter Space that was intended for advertising partners. This is what he said at the outset. It's hard to come to any other conclusion that he has little understanding of human communication, or indeed behavior on the platform he owns. pic.twitter.com/ZiYtLNLd0a

— Justin Hendrix (@justinhendrix) November 9, 2022

he really is doing a lowtax

Elon in a Twitter space right now: "If someone tries to impersonate a brand, we will get rid of them and we will keep their $8. And they can keep doing that and we will do it again."

xp

“Now truth can be a somewhat nebulous concept”…it’s like trying to discuss science on ILX, ha!

Dude would be a much more convincing idealist if he weren't such an aggressively shit-posting asshole.

I wonder how many people would believe Chairman Mao quotes attributed to Buddha

He’s out of his mind

Lol I ain't giving Twitter access to anything but my shitposts

Tesla’s stock selloff intensifies, on track for lowest close in nearly 2 years

oh yes please, let me link my bank account to this flaming pile of dog shit that is soon to be even more rampant with grifters and crypto hackers

Didn’t that happen a week and a half ago?

well if it did, elon would be in violation for not timely reporting it to the SEC (he's been in trouble with the SEC before but not for that)

Musk right now casually walking through his grand payments vision for Twitter:

Users could link their online bank account to Twitter, he says. Then the company will offer "extremely compelling money market account to get extremely high yield on your balance". Add debit cards etc

— Hannah Murphy (@MsHannahMurphy) November 9, 2022

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

would be cool if elon announced twitter was getting into crypto like facebook/libra lol

The fanboys acting like this is some cunning plan... he didn't need to spend $44bn on Twitter to turn it into Venmobook.

he's re-founding Paypal

Elon is unloading a chunk

gross

uh oh

Reporter: Do you think Elon Musk is a national security threat and should be investigated?

Biden: [long pause] "I think that Elon Musk’s cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at..." pic.twitter.com/OTnlsi4GON

8 is a lucky number in China. And his thing cost $8. DO U SEE.

lmao at him only knowing PayPal and seeing WeChat as something successful that maybe he could do
