Same thing as people have been saying, he’s going with the “I didn’t destroy Twitter other people did!” narrative

I hope they stop. Don’t advertise," Musk said in response to Sorkin’s question (see video).
Perplexed, Sorkin asked, “you don’t want them to advertise?”
“No,” Musk responded. “What do you mean?” Sorkin asked.
“If somebody is going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself,” Musk said.
Sorkin replied, “but,” and trailed off. Musk wasn’t done. “Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is. Hey, Bob!” Musk said. Musk was apparently addressing Disney CEO Bob Iger, who previously said at the conference that advertising on X “was not necessarily a positive” association and so Disney “decided we would pull our advertising.”

No fictional portrayals of unhinged billionaires match the real thing.

I’m embarrassed for him. I mean, the bomber jacket. Did he forget to pack the cowboy hat? He really just wants to be the most badass boy at recess and is trying so, so, hard.

I want to see Musk do more public interviews, it’s like cringe porn.

The part of that not getting as much traction is that Musk acknowledged that a successful boycott would kill X, he didn’t seem able to articulate a backup plan.

he seems pretty satisfied for twitter to be killed as a company.
“you have a ton of resources, you could keep the company afloat without advertising for a long time. would you do that?”
“the advertisers will have killed twitter” [no, i am not interested in doing that]

is elon’s plan to burn the servers or never negotiate for some key elements of the platform to be sold off through bankruptcy?
i mean if the old owners buy it out of bankruptcy and just reinstall the bird go back to normal… what would elon have done here? if the goal is to destroy twitter he kind of can’t allow it go bankrupt cause he can’t sell.
He can just keep it in his closet forever like that 1/1 Wu-Tang album that Martin Skrelli bought

well this seems inevitable now
Seriously what the fuck? OK I believe he’s autistic or whatever because no neurotypical person is like ‘oh yeah tell earth that.’

I’ve been thinking about this too. I think he’s a narcissist and on drugs, but I also think he’s on the spectrum.
