Judd LegumMusk now considers @[email protected] "the company trying to kill Twitter."
@[email protected] Interesting that Musk sees competition as some kind of violent attack and not a part of a healthy economic system.
VeeDub@juddlegum he doesn’t like capitalism or competition
JL Roberson@juddlegum At his level, he feels that since he's on top, competition has done its work and needs to be removed
Martin Vermeer FCD@juddlegum Also, that not just damaging but 'killing' twitter is actually a thing in his mind.
Virginia S. O'Possum@juddlegum Yeah, especially for such an alleged free-marketeer.
SpicewallaThe narcissistic personality type is so insecure that any perceived challenge to their superiority is seen as potentially catastrophic and thus requires a maximalist defensive response.
Scott Gurvey@juddlegum Musk believe in bare knuckle unconstrained winning is everything except when one of his companies is involved.
Jim 
@juddlegum do as I say, not as I do.
John Eddy@juddlegum honestly makes me wonder what he thinks about other electric car manufacturers and how close are we to him shutting down talk about the Hyundai Ionic 6 or Rivan trucks.
@juddlegum sure the ftc would probably have something to say but when has Elon shown that sort of forethought
Fuck Elon 
i guess it would be great free publicity for both at this point.
@FuckElon @juddlegum Rivian could use it but Ionic seems to be putting out a sizable ad spend
oh, but this kind of publicity money cannot buy.
Lilyshome@juddlegum that’s because Musk doesn’t recognize healthy. Or economics. Or systems. Combined or separately. Musk only sees Musk. And therein lies his downfall.
Dr. Guillermo Power 
@juddlegum he has obsessed over Twitter for years and he has endowed Twitter with fantastical properties, in his mind Twitter is too exceptional to ever fail. He seems to think that somehow Twitter drives humanity’s collective thought… we know better, we know Twitter is basically humanity’s soiled underwear.
madsox@gpowerf @juddlegum "humanity's soiled underwear" I love it - can I steal that? 🤣 🤣 🤣
@madsox @juddlegum go for it. Make it public domain.
Sam Wade@juddlegum Do you mean Substack competing with Twitter, or Substack competing with Musk to kill Twitter, or both?
Odolyte@juddlegum oops btw competition is not an healthy economic system. If you still don't get it, It has ruined our planet. On a planet with finite resources, there's only one way out : cooperation and sharing the resources otherwise one has to die…
Incogg@juddlegum You got that almost right.
He sees competition as a violent attack as long as the competition is with something he owns.
When he competes with someone else it's part of a healthy economic system, of course.
@juddlegum Musk is being optimistic thinking it would be alone in wanting Twitter dead.
Or rather buried. Elon killed it months ago. Whatever it's been since then(MuskGab?) it's not Twitter

Jack Yan (甄爵恩)@jlroberson @juddlegum I usually call it OnlyKlans now.
HyperZonk ✊🏻@juddlegum Following that logic, he should also disable engagement with his own posts.
OracleClyde@juddlegum Something is going to take the place of Twitter since it died months ago and no longer will be considered the world's pulse and first place to check for breaking news.
I didn't expect Substack to be that place, but someone has to be it, and they seem to be gaining a lot of quality writers and journalists.
David Hsu@juddlegum Elon Musk has done more to kill Twitter than anyone else could.
k cavaliere@juddlegum #Muskrat has dragged the #Twitanic down so bad that it will die by his own "genius" hands. I'm not sure it's salvagable. It's shifted too far from what we knew and liked. For some it has reached a point where having an account there is a negative.
Sarah T. Roberts, Ph.D.@juddlegum @jennyhayes The fight between fascist platforms. You love to see it.
Kim Crayton ~ Her/She@juddlegum @jennyhayes @ubiquity75 both are the living embodiment of mediocre, unremarkable white tech dudes
Uncle 6 🌁@KimCrayton1 @juddlegum @jennyhayes @ubiquity75 Paul Graham in particular is a warning label for “replacement level dumbass tech bro shit blather coming here”
@jennyhayes @uncle6 @ubiquity75 @juddlegum oh I know…he blocked me on Twitter back in the #causeascene days 😂🤣😂
Steve's Place@juddlegum LOL! "The company trying to kill Twitter" is Twitter.
Antifa Tech Support@juddlegum (Voice of George Plimpton): "Yet, he did not consider that he may be the one trying to kill Twitter"
Ron DeSantis's BDE@juddlegum
So, just to be clear, The great Elon Musk is feeling threatened by a Y-Combinator that's raised $82.4M through 4 rounds and is currently in Series-B?
He can't figure out how to get ahead of that?
Wow. What a complete loser.
That Guy Angelo@juddlegum Thought the company trying to kill Twitter was Twitter.
excited for the mastodon rise
Matt@juddlegum why does Elon Musk hate competition?
sub_o@juddlegum I thought paul graham came to fediverse, did he go back again?
Realworldrj@juddlegum twitter doesn’t need substack. Elon is doing a fine job himself
Jim Parsons@juddlegum
Whatever happens to or at #Twitter?
– it will be someone else's fault:
the narcissists M.O.
edgeoforever 🍎@juddlegum what’s “Y “?
cohomology is FUN!@edgeoforever @juddlegum YC is short for Y Combinator, a prominent startup accelerator. Paul Graham is one of the founders.
Chris Trottier@juddlegum I don’t know about Substack, but I’m definitely trying to kill Twitter 😅
John GordonMusk is sooooo weird. Why pick on poor old Substack Notes?
tallshipAmen!
Death to all of the deprecated, privacy disrespecting legacy silos of the surveillance state!
We lost another maverick Independant service this week after 23 years of community service - Gigablast.

hapbt@juddlegum wow so now I have one reason to like stack
Copperdomebodhi@juddlegum So now we know which bird site clone he's betting on to take over.
Flaming Cheeto@juddlegum I wonder if Ford has tried advertising a mach-E or a 150 Lightning on Twitter
Accept purpose.@juddlegum to an outside observer it seems that Elon is much more efficient as the killer of Twitter than Substack could ever hope to be.
Matt Davis@juddlegum is Musk working for them then?
John Panzer@juddlegum Oh, has Elon acquired a Target of Blame now?
(Page 12 of the Narcissist’s Handbook, IIRC.)
Dana@juddlegum seems like Twitter is the company trying to kill Twitter from here
Hugo Slabbert ⚠️Paul Graham @paulg. Apr 8
Elon has asked me to "please tell people on Twitter that you are an investor in the company trying to kill Twitter..."
Wait, Elon wants Paul Graham to say he's an investor in Twitter?
