Musk claiming that a lot more people are engaging on Twitter is like me claiming that a lot more people are stopping by to look at my new house after I set it on fire. Itโ€™s in our nature to stare at something while it burns.
@austinkocher you said it perfectly.
@godlessmom OMG I loooove your website. And Iโ€™ll listen to your pod too. I have a new fave person on here. ๐Ÿ˜Š
@austinkocher Yay! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the pod. Nice to meet you :)
@austinkocher I go back to check who switched and to watch the birdhouse fire.
@austinkocher what you say is true but I'm not entirely convinced what mister musk says is actually true ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

@austinkocher

Tesla stock holders are about to discover what a Ponzi scheme is (Elon just dumped $4 billion in Tesla stock). Of course the Saudis arenโ€™t probably going to be quite as understanding. Elon might want to avoid any trips to the Saudi consulate.

@austinkocher
Fire is something human kind never tires of watching

And good thing, too. Turn away from a fire and you're toast!

@austinkocher There's also the whole US election day thing, which is the kind of news event that drives media consumption and social media engagement
@austinkocher Personally Iโ€™ve engaged on Twitter by announcing my departure and leaving behind invite links and trying to download my account archive (Iโ€™ve been waiting 20+ hours now)
