we will answer the questions. What questions? the important ones. they’re easy to answer we just haven’t asked them yet. we will find out what questions to ask. we will find the questions to the answers to the universe, and then we will be the ones who have all the questions

hey look a nerd reference, give me 44 billion dollars

just like with gab and parler etc. the right-wing absolutely hate being in their own echo chamber because then they realise they're all antisocial freaks with shit-stained undies and zero friends

they crave having liberals to wrinkle their nose at the smell of said undies and frown at their absolutely dogshit takes

So predictable, he thinks he's in control, and that this gives him leverage over his pet chuds, and everyone else will just shut up.

Pat yourself on the titanium plate buddy!

So everyone in the list of payees was manually given a thumbs up by Twitter for payouts, probably Elon personally.

These are the brand ambassadors he has chosen.

I can't wait for Elon to create Tay 2.0

if they're training it on twitter data I bet Elon also had them scrape the shit out of reddit

the big lol is that elon has neither the business vision of what to do, the managerial capacity to implement it, nor the stomach for taking losses until his plan is implemented. every other week he wakes up in a cold sweat thinking about those mounting losses and freaks out and does something like fire more people or make another dumb edict like this one.

of course his fans don't understand that so he can just act like it was already failing and he's fixing it

this must have felt so nostalgic to him

Elon Musk is the richest despite being obviously and visibly incompetent.

There's no secret scheme. There's no deliberate plan. He's just that bad at this and has nobody to save him from himself. He's making what he thinks are the best decisions to run a platform because he's the World's Greatest Engineer and he's got solutions all these other idiots haven't thought of yet. When his decision blows up in his face, he blames someone else and goes on to his next blunder.

lmao cat turd is having a full on meltdown because he wasn't one of elon's hand chosen recipients of a big bag of cash for posting and now his life means nothing

this is the inevitable outcome of being a musk stan

I just hope they finally learn something from it

Elon's having himself a day

1. Doesn't understand the quote

2. Questions about my "not the CEO" shirt etc.

3. Pay me money to avoid any fraud enabled by my company. #NotExtortion

The Explosive Finale of The Twitter Files

Falun Gong! Hell yeah! Get that energy wheel spinning!!!

Just taking $44 billion and lighting it on fire.

imagine given up (whatever small) brand recognition twitter has for... X.

twitter has managed to get people to use "tweet" and "tweeting" as nouns and verbs.

"Yo dawg, just X me the deets"

we're only just beginning to imagine what this company is or will do, which is a very good position to be in, having purchased it almost a year ago

zombo.com has a better pitch than this

I'm still not sure if she's just there to collect a paycheck and doesn't give a fuck about anything else anymore (understandable), or if there's some actual thought process behind those words beyond saying what musk wants

I'd assume the former for almost anyone, but she's a marketing exec so who knows

Here he is STILL MAD that they wouldn’t run PayPal on windows NT in 1999

Even if you knew nothing about the state of webscale hosted services on windows vs *nix, which he clearly didn't and somehow still doesn't, what the fuck would video game development have to do with hosted service infrastructure in fucking 1999?

like, what platform was fucking hotmail being hosted on in 1999?

hint: it was not windows

it's me, the ceo, looking to spend our entire yearly revenue on hardware and sql licenses to build something slower and less reliable than we have today

If he has sunk cost fallacy / buyer's remorse over paying too much for x.com back in 1998 I can only imagine what he's going to be doing with the long-dead twitter brand in 20 years.

lol one of his stooges is gonna report on more of twitter's internal politics

but now it'll be ~the x files~

it isn't fucking "minimalist" "art deco" you tool you don't have any fucking idea what you're talking about aghghggghhhh

also can we just take a moment to appreciate how bad these all are?

Hilariously enough there is a chance that, since Twitter is incredibly fucking popular in Japan, the stupid rename will lead to Twitter Japan being known as X Japan... which is the name of one of the most famous rock bands in Japan.

Amazing foresight by Musk, literal brain genius

"Thanks for the name, idiot. You want all this Twitter shit we're throwing away?"
