Some thoughts on the bad place
@mollyjongfast the Musk/Trump NFT civil war will be glorious!
@mollyjongfast yet another Elon failure: his Neuralink didn't get him laser beam eyes like his mentor.
@olavf yet
@mollyjongfast he missed picking up Argus tho. It would have been perfect for him ~ what would people pay to keep their eyeballs working?
@mollyjongfast Imagine being stuck on Mars with Elon in charge, no way home. Anybody remember the movie "Total Recall" ? That's what comes to mind...
@mollyjongfast the Trump performance aspect is close but not quite right. There's a pathetic dork trying to sit at the cool kids table aspect to Musk totally absent from Trump's presentation.
@mollyjongfast anyone who makes him angry will just get fired out of the airlock.
@mollyjongfast Some thoughts out in the investing world: Musk needs to leave either Tesla or Twitter. Or both.

@mollyjongfast
There are unhappy shareholders out there. And Musk's stake, even at $134 billion, is only 14.7% overall.
Here are the other institutional shareholders of note:

Vanguard Group
BlackRock
State Street Global Advisors
Capital World Investors
Geode Capital Management LLC
Larry Ellison
T Rowe Price Associates
Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC

@toxtethogrady @mollyjongfast I donโ€™t own much Tesla stock, but I do own some. And I am really POed that the toxic neo-Nazi of a CEO is tanking the stock. Tesla makes really good products. My ex has had his model 3 for four years and he loves it. That is when we started buying the stock. I wish Elon would leave Tesla, so that the stock could naturally rise again.
@RuthLInCalifornia @mollyjongfast
If I recall Robert's Rules, two shareholders can propose an action at a stockholders' meeting. Maybe even nominate candidates for the Board. Insurgencies like that probably will lose, but maybe it gets someone's attention...

@mollyjongfast

For what it's worth, I doubt anyone will get to Mars (alive) within my lifetime.

@mollyjongfast Heโ€™s using it to humiliate real journalists and to promote hate.
@mollyjongfast Only worth $0.99 with no laser beams shooting out of his eyes.
@mollyjongfast thereโ€™s a great horror plot in the idea of a megalomaniacal billionaire leading a group of his most devoted followers to Mars. Something along the lines of Event Horizon.

@mollyjongfast Somehow, as bad as it was, it was different when Trump was the sh*tshow. With Musk, itโ€™s worse because heโ€™s acting as though Twitter is his own back yard and we donโ€™t have anyone else to appeal to.
@mollyjongfast people using the "x app" in bored tunnels doesn't sound like my idea of a good time.
@mollyjongfast The idea of the 2nd richest dude in the world planning to leave all of us rubes on a dying planet while he takes a special pod of special people to another planet to a la jack "save consciousness" is incredibly frightening, even if he is a total dork. We've let him and zuck and putin and bannon etc. have way too much power.
@mollyjongfast Elon Musk bought Twitter to watch it die. The few week in his takeover, Twitter has become toxic and sick. ๐Ÿ™
@mollyjongfast I'd just like to thank him for confirming my priors about him and billionaires in general.
@mollyjongfast Yes, the confirmation that he is who he is with no one being gagged in space is a good thing. But Iโ€™m afraid that other, less powerful journalists and activists from around the globe are being silenced now.
@mollyjongfast When I joined Twitter in 2008 it was fantastic, but it soon became labour-intensive to deal with bad actors. Now the "Bad Actor In Chief" is Musk, the owner. I'm not going to take on that chaos and stress but consider it a positive move from Twitter The Tabloid to Mastodon The Broadsheet.
@mollyjongfast what if Elon Musk bought Twitter because he could get the biggest Q Anon cult indoctrinated. Mike Flynn and Elon Musk could control America then.
@mollyjongfast - I pulled all the plugs and swept the floor of all my Twitter dust today.

@mollyjongfast Someone made a gag Mastodon server and account. I think you will appreciate the humor

@mollyjongfast what seems like destruction to us is just a transfer of power. IMO, the intention is to make twitter the replacement for the failed truthsocial. The base is already there. Millions of sycophants. Right wing advertisers finally get their own platform to shill to the base that supports them without backlash or boycott.
All the advertisers that have left mean nothing to EM. That was the plan. It could become the most powerful right wing, neo-nazi, fascist platform to exist.
@mollyjongfast Mars is bigsad that Elon plans to go there. ๐Ÿ˜ž
@mollyjongfast Molly, I'm okay with him leading the way to Mars, and letting us know how it is after he's been there for a few years....
@mollyjongfast itโ€™s also depressing when people who are or were on Twitter spend literally all their time on Mastodon bombarding us with Twitter posts. Yโ€™all are making folks think that all that happens on Mastodon is people complaining about Twitter and that makes them want to stay on Twitter.
@mollyjongfast No one cares. Keep crying into your echo chamber. Just make your own Twitter if you don't like it and quit being a cry baby
@mollyjongfast The bird is a toxic wasteland. So glad I found you here.
