Elon Musk

Look at the hits in this thread.

We worked for more or less every big tech company.

We grew fast and made money. I think that's what you are referring to when you say independently wealthy?

That I independently made my money, as opposed to say, inherited an emerald mine.

Nazi fuck

wow. the guy, Halli, that Elon Musk has been mocking is not only a class act, but was literally on a list of "do not fire" VIPs because of how expensive his exit package was (likely because, if what Halli's other tweets say are true, Twitter acquired his company for a good price) https://t.co/H1skqNyiHI

did Elon have any clue who this guy was before he started mocking him?? can't imagine how many lawyers are chomping at the bit to take his case

lmao, it does seem like he knew who he was and just didnt care, tbf hes lit so much money on fire already adding that guys compensation to it prob doesnt matter much

i mean, why would he start expecting any negative consequences at this point? he's free to do whatever the fuck he wants.

yeah he's just going to stonewall this guy in litigation, I feel bad for him

there is a non-zero chance that musk can use expensive lawyers to flatten this guy and pay him absolutely nothing

it does seem like he knew who he was and just didnt care

idk it seems every time something breaks on Twitter there are employees (or ex-employees) stunned at how little Elon seems to know about how Twitter actually runs, I would not be surprised if Elon saw the word "Figma", thought he was being trolled, and now has to double down on it because he's that dumb? sorta like how he got forced into buying Twitter in the first place?

idk he def a least found out who the guy was at some point because he was sharing info about him

yeah I think he found out after he started talking shit about him, that's kind of how Elon operates

people are speculating that elon thought figma was some sort of joke the guy was just trolling, its design collaboration software

who knows tho, regardless elon should be thrown into a pit

i don't believe that excuse.

i dont think its an excuse

when all you have is a bofa, everything looks like a ligma

people are speculating that elon thought figma was some sort of joke the guy was just trolling

I 100% believe this

yeah then once he realized the guy was for real he doubled down to save face makes sense

his paranoia about getting owned led him to a huge self own

many such cases

sad

Elon being one of the single-app dummies explains a lot

I get playing dumb as a bit on twitter but the thing that irritates me is people doing "I don't know what that is" or asking for explanations of what easily-searchable entities are because they refuse to do anything other than scroll and reply

I guess that's an argument for the all-in-one apps, just make it so you can click on any word and the wiki entry pops up. Not that he's going to read that, either

playing dumb is also a classic boss domination tactic

oh, is it?

ignorance is strength

yeah he's just going to stonewall this guy in litigation, I feel bad for him

this is true.

i had a tweet about the fact that twitter is still paging me do numbers over the weekend. lots of replies, as terrible as ever, but i also didn't see any ads.

i had to mute that conversation everyone was faving your cute reply to me, an innocent man

yeah that was rough sorry

if twitter could monetize people explaining each other's jokes in the comments they would have a winner

Halli is such a contrast to Elon Musk and the entire Silicon Valley model.

When he sold his company to Twitter, he took the payment as wages so he’d pay much more tax to give back to Iceland’s social system. Meanwhile, Musk fights higher taxes while taking billions in subsidies. https://t.co/zpHa6uA3Pb pic.twitter.com/dlVPYYkdZE

He'll be ok, he has a wife and children who like him.

obThread, this guy sucks so bad

Elon Musk is such a deeply terrible person even as a kid when another kid hospitalized him, his dad was like fair enough the kid almost killing my son had a point pic.twitter.com/6CZR6ecaRl

Another very Trumpy thing about him, an absolute spoiled bully since childhood.

BBC has a little profile on the Icelandic dude... he actually does kind of need the money, or is going to need it at some point:

I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation. It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful.

He is considering remaining at Twitter.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 7, 2023

POV: you just got a call from your lawyer.

betting now all of the tweet responses are variants of:

"see? Elon can admit when he's wrong, because that's the kind of quality man he is"

OR

"Weak. you didn't owe him an apology CANCEL CULTURE amirite"

lmao

That messed up, why would those people lie to you

— Dan Nguyen (@dancow) March 7, 2023

"based on things I was told that were untrue"

that very sentence is untrue

it was the pizza deliveryman

he passed on a false rumor and i only regret that i believed him

Fuck this guy forever. Obviously nothing he does isn't gross but secretly firing and publicly mocking someone with muscular dystrophy is ghoulish even by those low standards

if you read musk's tweets in the voice of a 13 year old who is being forced to apologize they're way better.

"see? Elon can admit when he's wrong, because that's the kind of quality man he is"

i'm cynical enough to believe that his public responses are a show and his actual response is to establish more bot accounts to post this exact sort of response.
