The least surprising thing ever is you carrying water for Elon.
I’m at around 37% that you are Elon based on a quick 5 minute read of the 200+ posts you’ve made in this thread.

I actually really like that logo, though of course on the assumption it is 35 years old.

Overview of why the things Musk has done have worked in the past and likely won’t in the future.
There is no pivot in which Musk suddenly becomes serious and starts acting like a normal executive. The frenzied, callous, throwing-ideas-at-the-wall boss from hell you see on Twitter is the one people actually get in Musk world. It’s always been that way. Somehow, during a bull market, in a decade when tech was on top of the world and he was the king of it — that style worked. Now it won’t.

The author of that Musk article has, of course, also been banned. Not the person mentioned in this headline, but further down.

The optimistic endgame here is probably that Elon does crazy shit for a couple more months, then declares victory and hands the reins over to someone else so he can go back and try and pull Tesla back together. Not sure that leaves Twitter financially viable, though.

Can’t wait until we find the hidden tags Twitter now uses on usernames like “black” and “liberal”.
The goal of all this mythmaking is to turn investors, employees, and customers into evangelists.
I’m imagining if Theranos had enjoyed a similar decade-long immunity where Elizabeth Holmes had moved on to become CEO of a different company like Twitter.
Twitter still has to pay $1.3 billion in debt annually for its own leveraged buyout. Twitter has never made $1.3 billion in a year, and Musk has never run a company in this situation. In the past, he has had time — and money from investors — to burn. And even with all of these advantages, he still almost bankrupted Tesla in 2018.
It’s quite flattering the way Musk’s slovenly worn t-shirt accentuates his moobs.

FWIW Facebook basically does the same thing. Try putting a link to a wordpress site in a post and watch the algorithm bury it.
