Musk now going Qanon.
He knows what he's doing here with Twitter in general is nuts. All of the interaction with far right crazy people. But he can't stop himself from doing it. It could be that he's playing eleven dimensional chess and he's going to graft a media company onto Twitter and create the twenty first century version of Fox News, or something like this, I'm not sure what. Somehow lever Twitter into being some kind of media company that unlike Twitter actually makes money. But then why not spend your fifty five billion and counting on setting up a media company? Why spend it on something that doesn't make money and turn the business you did buy into a potential bankrupcy? If this was part of a grand masterplan why try and back out of buying it and be forced into the purchase by a court? How well do you think proclaiming yourself the tribune of free speech is going to work when you have massive business interests in autocratic countries with millions of people in concentration camps?
Alternatively maybe he doesn't have a clue what he's doing and just can't hide the fact he's quite an extreme righty anymore. He had a divorce recently and there was that flight stewardess he offered a horse to in return for a blowjob. I just googled the horse incident, it became public last May and his response to the whole thing was that it never happened and was politically motivated because he'd recently come out as a Republican. Sounds kinda Trumpy doesn't it. The stewardess was told before this happened that she might want to take a course in giving massages because the boss might ask her for one. That's all very normal eh. The horse thing happened in 2016 and he paid he 250 thousand dollars and made her sign an NDA. The NDA actually worked, it was just a couple of years of journalists investigating Musk that finally found somebody who knew about the incident who could go public about it. Musk's NDAs are apparently extremely well crafted and he has a couple of lawyers who seem to specialise in this stuff working for him. I have a feeling there are a lot more girls like this with NDAs and eventually we're going to find out that he's Harvey Weinstein with better lawyers. At least this would be a good reason for buying Twitter and embracing the Trumpy right wing. He's watching Trump evade endless lawsuits and can see how having a rabid heavily armed fanbase might help sway prosecutorial decisions. However many billions of his own he ends up sinking into Twitter is nothing compared to the prospect of sharing a cell with Harvey.
Also very Trumpy, not paying people you owe money to:
Over the past two weeks, Elon Musk has shaken up Twitter’s legal department, disbanded a council that advised the social media company on safety issues and is continuing to take drastic steps to cut costs.
Mr. Musk appears to be gearing up for legal battles at Twitter, which he purchased in October for $44 billion, according to seven people familiar with internal conversations. He and his team have revamped Twitter’s legal department and pushed out one of his closest advisers in the process. They have also instructed employees to not pay vendors in anticipation of potential litigation, the people said.
To cut costs, Twitter has not paid rent for its San Francisco headquarters or any of its global offices for weeks, three people close to the company said. Twitter has also refused to pay a $197,725 bill for private charter flights made the week of Mr. Musk’s takeover, according to a copy of a lawsuit filed in New Hampshire District Court and obtained by The New York Times.
Twitter’s leaders have also discussed the consequences of denying severance payments to thousands of people who have been laid off since the takeover, two people familiar with the talks said. And Mr. Musk has threatened employees with lawsuits if they talk to the media and “act in a manner contrary to the company’s interest,” according to an internal email sent last Friday.

I still think he's having some kind of slow motion megalomaniacal meltdown and it's going to become more and more of a spectacle.
Welp, them boots ain't going to lick themselves now are they :cwm13: ;D. It's like an envious reach around, just not exactly sure who's leading between them.Quote:

I think Musk made a huge and monumental error buying Twitter and I hope he goes bankrupt for it.

I just might be right.
Some good points made here.

Also he's selling billions of Tesla stock to fund losses at Twitter. The standard thing to do in a situation like this would be to borrow against the stock because especially as CEO you want to show/believe that the stock will go up in value. Selling it doesn't look good. If it falls in line with the price/earnings ratio of similar stocks it could half in value again. Just from a business point of view, never mind the political/cultural/personal mental situation aspects, this could turn into a world historical catastrophe.
Howard Hughes was lucky they didn't have social media when he melted down back in the day. I wonder how long Elon's fingernails will get.

Already down over fifty percent in the last year and he's selling now rather than borrowing against it.
So will Elon Musk stand down as CEO now that he has lost his poll?
Good question. It was talk of Jared kushner stepping in. It's hard to believe that most did not plan this all out, each step. Who will be the new CEO of he steps down? There must be a method to this. But only the privileged insiders, will ever know.Quote:

Musk wins online poll after counting late arrival mail-in votes 😂😂😂
Funny old world where "civil liberties groups" are the ones lobbying for censorship of free speech, isn't it?
I just don't get the feverish hero worship this guy gets. When did we start constantly cheering for rich people other than sports figures and musical icons ;D
lol
At 2:36 on Monday morning, James Musk sent an urgent message to Twitter engineers.
“We are debugging an issue with engagement across the platform,” wrote Musk, a cousin of the Twitter CEO, tagging “@here” in Slack to ensure that anyone online would see it. “Any people who can make dashboards and write software please can you help solve this problem. This is high urgency. If you are willing to help out please thumbs up this post.”
When bleary-eyed engineers began to log on to their laptops, the nature of the emergency became clear: Elon Musk’s tweet about the Super Bowl got less engagement than President Joe Biden’s.
Biden’s tweet, in which he said he would be supporting his wife in rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles, generated nearly 29 million impressions. Musk, who also tweeted his support for the Eagles, generated a little more than 9.1 million impressions before deleting the tweet in apparent frustration.
In the wake of those losses — the Eagles to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Musk to the president of the United States — Twitter’s CEO flew his private jet back to the Bay Area on Sunday night to demand answers from his team.
Within a day, the consequences of that meeting would reverberate around the world, as Twitter users opened the app to find that Musk’s posts overwhelmed their ranked timeline. This was no accident, Platformer can confirm: after Musk threatened to fire his remaining engineers, they built a system designed to ensure that Musk — and Musk alone — benefits from previously unheard-of promotion of his tweets to the entire user base.
In recent weeks, Musk has been obsessed with the amount of engagement his posts are receiving. Last week, Platformer broke the news that he fired one of two remaining principal engineers at the company after the engineer told him that views on his tweets are declining in part because interest in Musk has declined in general.
His deputies told the rest of the engineering team this weekend that if the engagement issue wasn’t “fixed,” they would all lose their jobs as well.
Late Sunday night, Musk addressed his team in-person. Roughly 80 people were pulled in to work on the project, which had quickly become priority number one at the company. Employees worked through the night investigating various hypotheses about why Musk’s tweets weren’t reaching as many people as he thought they should and testing out possible solutions.
[...]
By Monday afternoon, “the problem” had been “fixed.” Twitter deployed code to automatically “greenlight” all of Musk’s tweets, meaning his tweets will bypass Twitter’s filters designed to show people the best content possible. The algorithm now artificially boosted Musk’s tweets by a factor of 1,000 – a constant score that ensured his tweets rank higher than anyone else’s in the feed.
Internally, this is called a “power user multiplier,” although it only applies to Elon Musk, we’re told. The code also allows Musk’s account to bypass Twitter heuristics that would otherwise prevent a single account from flooding the core ranked feed, now known as “For You.”

Definitely having some kind of mental event.
So Twatter has no simple edit feature?
".... In apparent frustration....."
Yeah let's just assume stuff like that
elon is just playing his role but it was funny seeing him say to the world government summit that they should be careful about a world government
Twitter insiders have told the BBC that the company is no longer able to protect users from trolling, state-co-ordinated disinformation and child sexual exploitation, following lay-offs and changes under owner Elon Musk.

Elon Musk has apologised after a humiliating exchange in which he appeared to mock a disabled Twitter worker.
Mr Musk had accused his employee of doing no actual work, of being “the worst” and more – after he had asked whether he was still employed by Twitter, having apparently failed to get a response any other way.

If he was a Democrat everybody would say at least he apologized and did the right thingQuote:

Twitter is now worth just $20billion — less than half of what Elon Musk paid for it six months ago, the world's richest man told his employees.

Twitter is dying. :)Quote:

The BBC reporter was out of is depth which is why Musk agreed to be interviewed by him.
