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

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— Paris Marx (@parismarx) March 7, 2023

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— Dan Seljak (@anotherglassbox) March 7, 2023

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
― papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 8 March 2023 00:18 (one year ago) link
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"

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.

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.

i think all this shows is that musk is maybe a little serious about trying to win advertisers back to twitter - publicly attacking a guy with muscular dystrophy who by all accounts sounds like he could play All Around Nice Guy in the next pixar movie is not going to assuage advertisers concerns with the platform.
i don't think the threat of litigation over his contract was the deterrent here, there's already hundreds of millions in comp that he's not paying to the former twitter c-suite iirc, among others.

Halli isn't another dev though. It's a different contract. Apologizing after that roasting was humiliating, so there must be more to it
