It's great that nothing he does works, and his veneer of sci-fi nerd messiah is flaking apart so obviously, and all this, but when things go so far as being taken to court for finance manipulation reasons and then they find that he's not trying to defraud or manipulate but is actually just an utter moron, that feels like we missed out on what should have been an easy win.
We do live in a supremely stupid world so we shouldn't be that surprised.
movetodon got banned by twitter
losing my ass at the blackjack tables and sputteringly explaining to my MEAN spouse that if they'll just LISTEN, I'm actually trending to breakeven. I've got a system!
had to save twitter from bankruptcy (that I put it on the path to)
would not wish the pain of running multiple companies on anyone (no I will not step down and let anyone else run a single one of these companies)
Lol "Trending to breakeven" aka "even if i cherrypick a bunch of extremely favourable data points and ignore all surrounding data, the best picture I can fabricate is we'll stop losing money at some undefined point in the future, maybe"
Then again he probably didn't actually bother to do even that and is just lying so that he keeps his story straight to anyone still funneling money to him
"Elon, I showed my bad posts to everyone and barely anyone liked them!"
"For some unknown reason nobody likes any of the weird freaks I keep shoving into everyone's timeline!"
I do have to give elon credit, making the tweet view metrics public is starting to cause a lot of petty people who are addicted to validation either feeling bad about it or pointing fingers at elon because these numbers can't possibly be right everyone loves my posts
Everything he says he's done, he's done the opposite

People don't ask me "where moon" but then again I haven't promised anyone we're living on Mars in 10 years 10 years ago
also probably safe to assume that a doge name or avatar means that the person is one of elon's paid lackies
I really wanna know the turnaround time from Elon dictating the terms and the code being deployed.
Also isn't that really going to fuck over companies that offer user support via Twitter? Of course they'll soon offer an option to bypass those limits for $11 a day or something.

An example of how stupid this is. To DM Xfinity Support, you need to follow each other since so many accounts have closed DMs. But Xfinity Support can't follow any new accounts until they unfollow 133,000 accounts. So they won't be able to interact with customers.

lol
guys the superbowl is this week. nobody is going home.
or perhaps people will be going home... they just won't be coming back
she's so fuckin dumb she doesn't know they're also pretty goddamn happy that dude bought them out for 44 billion

he vastly, vastly overestimates the amount of blood he can squeeze from the stone that is twitter and he'll end up killing it trying to get the last drop, like lmao why the HELL would you fuck with the ability to SOCIALIZE on a SOCIAL NETWORK, then have the audacity to charge for it???
they're gonna do all this bullshit tweaking and pissing off everyone by limiting follows or whatever then check the balance sheet at the end of the month and see only 0.01% of users forked over cash
I imagine he is getting blocked by a lot of people right now, driving down even accidental engagement.

This is a combination of sad and hilarious, because:
1) Those estimates are annualized figures based on the advertisers Twitter had at the beginning of the year and tons of major ad supporters bailed on Twitter in the first few months. So, even that figure of $19 million is likely way lower.

"Just yesterday, Twitter experienced a mass outage...
Apparently, an employee unintentionally deleted data for the “internal service that sets rate limits for using Twitter,” the outlet wrote. The team of people that used to manage the rate limit service haven’t been employed at Twitter since November.
“As the adage goes, ‘you ship your org chart,’” one current employee told Platformer. “It’s chaos here right now, so we’re shipping chaos.”"

it usually doesn’t not go well when a female assault victim changes their story. juries get very skeptical, and a lot of assholes become extremely hostile against the victim.
perhaps she should have taken advice from a victim’s advocate before deciding to do this, or just watched an episode of law & order: svu
if she was sane she'd have enough of a Simp Surplus to get people to defend her music video days.
She made the mistake of CANCELING right wingers, by reporting them on YouTube for posting the video. They got banned or suspended or something which made them lose their shit and that's when things started crashing down on her.
elon musk has figured out the one weird trick for not having to pay the employees you fired: make them sign arbitration agreements, then don't select arbitrators or pay the arbitration firms
"the company is refusing to pay its share of filing fees to the arbitration company... in cases where the arbitration agreement does not specify a particular arbitration firm, Twitter will not agree on selecting an arbitrator, simply ignoring her emails to Twitter’s own lawyers."
An attorney who says she represents approximately one-third of all Twitter employees that were fired since Elon Musk bought the company late last year, told a federal court in a new filing that the company is not serious in its attempts to resolve worker disputes through private arbitration and i...
bah! who needs ads when that sweet sweet $8/mo subscription revenue is flowing in?

lmao, "we found out your epic posts were overloading the mainframe sir"
Some engineer did a fantastic job of saving probably their entire team's jobs by pulling that whopper of a lie out of their ass
