Elon Musk

lol fucking pitiful

Holy Shit. Elon Musk just popped into a Twitter Spaces chat with a bunch of journalists. He was called out by journalist Drew Harrell, who he banned, for lying about posting links to his private information, then leaves almost immediately after being pressed. Here is the exchange pic.twitter.com/wVA9Gb5MVJ

getting booed at Chappelle's show really made him crack huh

turns out freedom of speech isn't working out so well for this guy

everyone told him he was the best boy in the world for ten years straight then suddenly turned on him its basically torture a cruel prank lol

Who has a screenshot of the "Kanye. Elon. Trump." tweet? I need to see that again.

lol that shit was a curse

Just too pathetic

lmao the Twitter space talking about this just abruptly got killed

Still half a month left for him to just kill the whole damn site and fulfill the Dril Prophecy.

I hope that if he's forced to reinstate these journalists they still have the dignity to walk away anyway.

lol he is really losing his cool

getting booed at Chappelle's show really made him crack huh

Sure looks like that was the breaking point. It’s been a downward spiral since then. Notably the first time he’s really been physically forced outside his weird nerd echo chamber.

Who has a screenshot of the "Kanye. Elon. Trump." tweet? I need to see that again.

I finally figured out the true meaning of this tweet. Each one is the King of the Losers for their respective generations.

Elon’s 51 and Kanye is 45. Aren’t they both Gen X?

Yes

had to double check that Trump was a boomer and not silent generation (he squeaks in to boomer)

Well, Trump’s definitely not silent.

Silent but deadly.

lol

The Deadliest, people are saying...

Kanye is *spiritually* a millennial (I'm telling myself)

thats fair

Nah ye can keep Kanye, millennials have enough problems

haa he nuked spaces altogether, guessing its cause banned accounts were still able to use it and no one works there anymore who knows how to fix that

So how long til he announces a relocation to Texas? He's obviously not staying in SF.

Xp wtf?!

Guess who works on and is possibly a product lead for Twitter spaces!

nice

Twitter Blue round 2: I’m travelling and haven’t looked at this in detail yet, but my tracker has taken 66 million profile snapshots of 18 million distinct accounts since Monday’s relaunch, and it’s found a grand total of 2,215 new sign-ups.

15 of the top 20 by follower count are porn. The top non-porn personal accounts are the UKIP Gamergate guy and a Bolsonaro supporter who recently got Elon Musk’s attention with claims of election fraud. https://t.co/LQ5XJfPQ7c

lmao this is his explanation for why Spaces isn't working right now. dude is so pathetic

We’re fixing a Legacy bug. Should be working tomorrow.

It's always someone else's fault.

Imagine having a midlife crisis on this scale. It's like one of those mortifying failed public proposals of marriage but as a worldwide simulcast event on all major television networks.

fucking Dan Price in that twitter spaces conversation

ya I mean Trump could get away with this because he was a powerful political figure who could actually make life miserable for people in very real ways. all Elon has the power to do is ruin a social media company and tank Tesla stock. everyone is laughing at him too much to really be mad and the only people really getting hurt are those who stupidly put their life savings into his stupid company. the right wants Twitter to stick around more than the left does and it's gotta drive 'em crazy knowing the only winners in this whole situation were the people who managed to convince Elon to buy it for $44 billion

checkn muh stonks

uh oh

News about arbitrary suspension of journalists on Twitter is worrying. EU’s Digital Services Act requires respect of media freedom and fundamental rights. This is reinforced under our #MediaFreedomAct. @elonmusk should be aware of that. There are red lines. And sanctions, soon.

— Věra Jourová (@VeraJourova) December 16, 2022

ya definitely worth remembering even if Elon actually gets some sleep and somehow realizes how bad he's screwing this up he's still set a ton of lawsuits and sanctions in motion, not least of which involves all the labor laws he flagrantly violated

Given recent behavior I'd expect him to just cut off service in any country that tries to sanction him. Which would just make things worse for the company's financial prospects, but that clearly is not factoring into his decision-making at the moment.

paranoid meltdown

aren't there entire countries who are either locked out right now or can't get 2FA to function because Elon fired all the people who knew how it worked?

I think there’s a very real possibility this guy goes broke.

If he does, I hope it's because he made it his life's mission to spend all his money buying various social media sites and turning them into MySpace overnight.

New 52 week low and falling

$TSLA's recent 52 week low makes a lot more sense now that it's been revealed elon dumped $3 billion worth of shares into the market. lol @ calls for a share buyback

xp!

lol it lost half its value in exactly 3 months. isn't there a point where the Tesla board just forces him out? how low would it have to go for that to happen?

teslas in a tough spot 99% of its value was based on the idea that elon is a genius and a real good boy

pre-covid it was trading around like $20, then it shot up b/c it was a meme stock and also ZIRP. so probably will need to drop back down to $20

Yeah the most shocking thing about the Tesla price isn't how far it's fallen, it's how much it shot up in 2020 — based mostly on forth and excitement about "self-driving cars" and Musk's success at selling himself as a visionary. And helped a LOT by the weird pandemic investing environment. Like, even now the share price is triple what it was in February 2020.

Here's a good and somewhat prescient analysis from a year ago: https://www.investopedia.com/why-tesla-skyrocketed-during-pandemic-5211590

"During times of excess, fundamentals take a backseat. And so it has been with Tesla."

froth and excitement, I mean

lol yeah they're in a real unique spot, just think of all the value that could've been saved if someone could convince Elon to just shut the fuck up once in a while

kind of amusing how TSLA's stock graph pretty much mimics Bitcoin exactly

investing for dummies

elon was pretty much on track and on message til the stock went crazy, becoming the richest person pushed him over the edge
