Matt BlairI had to visit Twitter at work today. Are they really just putting a current bad Musk tweet at the top of the “Explore” tab now? Because wow, that’s deeply pathetic.
Andreas GrünwaldHistory can and should choose to remember Elon Musk as a man who pledged $6 billion to end world hunger, balked when presented with a plan to do so, and then spent several times that amount to prove that no amount of money can make people think you’re funny and cool.
Imagine you had the means to end world hunger, and you ran around telling everybody about it, but then you just didn’t do it.
That would be your epitaph, right?
And the thing is, he could still do it. He’s still got the money. Elon Musk can still choose to fund that “end world hunger” plan whenever he wants.
And man, when you’re the guy who ended world hunger, everyone pretty much has to take back everything mean they ever said about what a loser you are.
Brian Moakley@mjmbca Alas, the skills required to achieve that dragon's horde of wealth are diametrically opposed to skills needed to use it for the common good.
Frances_Larina 🏳️⚧️Right? It's important to remember that he essentially bought Twitter with his 2018 Tesla *bonus*.
Greg Stolze@mjmbca He won't because he can't. He has no motivation to do so. Hopefully, it's in his will.
Old Man Mike@GregStolze hope we get to read that REAL soon.

Sid 🇵🇸@mjmbca he should be forgotten. He's not useful even as a cautionary tale
Craig Mcgee@IndyRichard @mjmbca and loves inserectionists like trump.
@mjmbca also he did literally.just buy 
in order to ruin 
in retaliation for his ex being happy together with a trans woman.
in order to ruin in retaliation for his ex being happy together with a trans woman.@kkarhan Well, there’s a lot of debatable “maybes” at work there, but it’s indisputable that there’s no good to be achieved through buying Twitter greater than the good he pledged to achieve for a fraction of the cost, and then just chose not to.

@mjmbca he also promised to fix every lead pipe in Flint, and then didn't deliver
@nathans420 I’d forgotten about that.

microtherion@mjmbca he didn’t do so well at fixing his personal thirst; can’t imagine he’d accomplish much for world hunger.
Egor Egorov@mjmbca while I wholeheartedly agree with you, it should be noted that no amount of money given to the UN would do anything.
