Leave Twitter, they said. Not on your life, at least as long as I keep laughing this hard.
@briankrebs at the same time, he just got 4m accounts to log in and interact with a post. Sweet, sweet post interaction and active account numbers to sell to advertisers. Outrage sells…

@hacks4pancakes @briankrebs

Wow, that's a really good point.

He's hopped pretty blatantly on the "selling anger" train and is probably going to make bank from it.

@briankrebs @shellspawn plus the step down is likely being pushed by shareholders as Tesla tanks; might just be a clumsy attempt to explain putting a figurehead in charge.
@briankrebs @shellspawn not trying to spoil the fun - I’m giggling too. But this feels like a ham-handed way to try to get advertising and good news coverage back.

@hacks4pancakes @briankrebs @shellspawn I'll admit I logged in just to vote in favor of him leaving.

Left immediately thereafter.

@laren @hacks4pancakes @briankrebs @shellspawn I voted no. He started it, he should bear the responsibility and not run away and hide like a child. There is too much damage, too much good people left. It won't be fixed with him gone, but it would give him someone to blame afterwards.

@egeltje @laren @hacks4pancakes @briankrebs

Nice. I dig the slightly accelerationism oriented answer. If this truly burns to the ground, then he should be at the helm the whole way down.

Him being at the helm all but guarantees it, but hey, semantics.

@hacks4pancakes @briankrebs Yes, in the same sense that setting fire to the drapes provides warmth for the night.
@jpanzer @briankrebs I didn’t say it was a smart plan.
@hacks4pancakes @briankrebs 😂 Fair enough.
