Take a wild guess which company was the largest employer in that area (mid-market) that just so happened to lay off 83% (+?) of their workforce in the past 13 months... What an absolute dolt.

San Francisco being the favorite target of right-wing troglodytes who are obsessed with human feces.

and to correct, Elon... Twitter is located *near* downtown SF (2-3 neighborhoods southwest), in an area where under previous management could build cheaply and receive massive tax breaks from city government, in such an area which guess what, was skid row before twitter and will be skid row when twitter has gone to the social media graveyard.

Twitter couldn't afford downtown SF which is why they ended up on 10th/Market, former home of a cockroach-laden buffet and budget motel.

(sorry if that comes off as "old money" but there is a bit of history lacking from Elon's shit-take)

So bought it to destroy it? He bought it to save it? what the fuck is his point

I used to work at the Hot Spot— I met my husband there. Miss that shithole and the other shitholes around it.

How much walking around in downtown SF does Elon actually do?

Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Thursday, 2 November 2023 03:09 (six months ago) link

he takes his jet to the corner store

this is absolutely true. even when everyone worked downtown pre pandemic, that stretch of market was miserable. lots of downtown SF is miserable now, but musk owning twitter hasn't done anything to improve it, indeed, his laying off tons of people has probably made things worse as now there are fewer customers to frequent the businesses around the office.

anyway why do I care what this dumb fuck thinks, everything he says is wrong and is always wrong.

I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Thursday, 2 November 2023 03:15 (six months ago) link

this has been proved by science -- the science of seeing the obvious

thinking Deckard's name is Bladerunner actually feels like one of the more Trumpian things Elon has said

In one particularly alarming anecdote, the writer recounts how during one "spiral," Musk freaked his employees out so bad by locking himself in his office that they "were considering calling a wellness check by the San Francisco police because they thought he was going to self-harm himself."

That freakout seems to have begun, Mezrich explained, with other incidents — including him getting booed at a Dave Chappelle show last December and someone confronting a car carrying his son around that same time. Both demonstrated how much people have grown to despise the serial entrepreneur who once inspired "Iron Man," and contrary to his devil-may-care attitude, Mezrich argues that Musk is very sensitive to what people think about him.

He could have swan dived off that giant X he put up illegally.

thats what i would do if i were booed at the big comedy show

"hi 911"

"yes, Elon Mask is in his office, we think he might harm himself"

"we're sending help ASAP-"

"help is already here, I was just wondering if you could send them home"

a very very unfair (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 8 November 2023 22:55 (five months ago) link

Getting wellness-checked by one’s own employees is certainly one way to do a coup d’etat

Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Wednesday, 8 November 2023 23:07 (five months ago) link

kinda figured getting booed at Chappelle's show was a big moment for him. he probably gets that he's not exactly universally well-liked but getting shunned by that particular crowd probably stung a lot

frogbs, Thursday, 9 November 2023 00:46 (five months ago) link

yeah getting invited up there was prob the coolest shit for him then he gets booed instant reversal of fortune

lag∞n, Thursday, 9 November 2023 00:48 (five months ago) link

Pretty predictable too I mean he was definitely a shitty dude before but getting made fun of for the Thai cave rescue sub is where his villain arc really began

It really was, wasn't it?

Wow so at odds with my footloose-n-fancy free image of Elon, he always seems so chill, just lets things roll right off him.

Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Thursday, 9 November 2023 01:49 (five months ago) link

the submarine thing was really the beginning of it and was also the period of time when a lot of my moderately liberal friends still liked Elon

a very very unfair (Neanderthal), Thursday, 9 November 2023 04:30 (five months ago) link

That fucking car looks like it'd kill someone even if it bumped them at low speed. Not to mention it is absurdly large, t'fuck is with all thes monster cars these days?

who once inspired "Iron Man,"

Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Don Heck and Jack Kirby would like a word.

Yngwie Azalea (stevie), Thursday, 9 November 2023 10:04 (five months ago) link

that was a weird and silly thing to claim yes, since the comic character predates the birth of the second-richest blight by some eight years

i guess (as a veteran of many a fact-check conversation) it's not *impossible* that such elements of the downey-era portrayal as don't predate do fit this description

also: something ultra-musky abt a supervillain that doesn't even bother building the mini-submarine his villainy fully demands

if you shoot an Elon Musk biopic and you add a death scene in the movie do he die in real life
