an incredible play in three acts
@oliverdarcy imo this is kind of a big deal. Graham is someone I'd see as relatively sympathetic to Musk.
@oliverdarcy You forgot the part where he calls Elon a smart guy and then gets banned
@apn @oliverdarcy The amount of grace these dudes have for each other is almost touching. If it weren't deeply rooted in a collective superiority complex.

@acjay @apn @oliverdarcy

It's class solidarity. Rich people stick by eachother.

@apn @oliverdarcy

The schadenfreude is too great 🤣

@apn @oliverdarcy Did he just call the "Visionary Future Man" only a "smart guy"???

@oliverdarcy it was pretty good and all, but the ending was a little predictable :/
@oliverdarcy The traitor Goldstein has many agents!
@oliverdarcy he’s a genius! … right up to the point where the shenanigans impact me.🫤🙄
@oliverdarcy
Succinct, laconic, yet delicious.
@oliverdarcy it's a little funny 😅
@oliverdarcy @BruceHalperin And now @paulg is back on the hellsite again. Elon is quite good about randomly changing his mind.

@oliverdarcy I love getting to trot out this clip for people like him and Musk.

@oliverdarcy Paul is, himself, an asshat
@oliverdarcy I am just amazed at the slow death of Twitter.
@seekingsrishti @oliverdarcy , something that size doesn’t just collapse over night. They’re still in the denial stage at this point.
@oliverdarcy
that is fan-
wait for it..
wait for it..
-TASTIC
@oliverdarcy is missing the curtain call!!
@oliverdarcy Checking now it's apparently reinstated.
@oliverdarcy The second part of that first act was always my favorite. “…People die if the software doesn’t work right,” he said of Tesla, where people have died because the software doesn’t work right.
In Defense of the Twitter Quitter

You don’t need to stay on Twitter and ‘fight’

@oliverdarcy

Humility not included. These guys think their massive mistake in judgement is a one-off, instead of a red flag that their discernment sucks.

@oliverdarcy That was quite a sequence of events.
@oliverdarcy @thatKomputerKat Narrator: Paul was wrong, many people could have ran Twitter better. Some say a poo flinging monkey could have done it better.
@oliverdarcy This is what happens when mythology and reality violently collide.
@oliverdarcy
Lol. Hope @paulg finds his new followers, but I won't be one of them.
@oliverdarcy a true master of finding out.
@oliverdarcy 🤠 It just makes me wonder how much better Tesla and Space-X would have been if he were not at the helm. Have they found a way to succeed despite him? Is he just another rich dilettante? I bet they love having Twitter as a distraction for him. #ElonTheIdiot
@Giddey_up @oliverdarcy They need his money, not his presence.
@oliverdarcy Elon's massive blunders are causing his supporters to fade away.
@oliverdarcy Twitter is not a tech company it's a utility
@oliverdarcy I feel like something is missing in the middle 😆 “Hey you are the best person for the job” then “I can’t take it anymore” to....SUSPENDED
@oliverdarcy I never understood the CEO worship by some people.
@oliverdarcy
Somebody who perfectly cooks fried eggs is possibly bad at shoving coal in the furnace. Right ? ... giving uncooked eggs as result.
@oliverdarcy
And there may yet be an act 4 as Musk does a rapid reverse ferret.
@oliverdarcy A Shakespearian tragedy in miniature.
@oliverdarcy
He went out in a blaze of glory I’ll tell you that much lol
@oliverdarcy Funny but also sad.
Hey if anyone is worried about losing your Twitter during the evolution of accounts to Mastodon, there's this tool to disguise your URL on your Twitter profile:

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations. Considering recent policy decisions on twitter, please be aware that use of links generated from this site may constitute a violation of their policy.

@oliverdarcy it's amazing that Elon is just sitting there in his pantheon shooting ban bolts at people pretending like he's some god.
