Day 3 Blizzard update. Snow seems to have stopped. Wind still blowing. A plow came through my street and made a one lane path that's basically cut in a 6 foot snow drift.

I don't know why people think if elon musk took over twitter, it'd be doomed. Both spacex and tesla are wildly successful giant companies that have made musk hundreds of billions richer. Not that I think it'd be good for twitter, or that I'd like the result, or anything like that. But he knows how to keep companies afloat, be a meme stock, attract investment, abuse the poo poo out of his employees, keep himself in the news, and otherwise do all the things that lead to business success in this modern hellworld. If the major shareholders reject his buyout bid - which is probably what he actually expects - he says he'll dump his stock, twitter will experience a moderate and short-term dip in stock price as he does so, he'll have made some money and made some kind of point or something, and we'll all move on. If his bid is real (it may not be) and a majority of shareholders accept it, he says he's taking twitter private (he may not), and then he'll do whatever the gently caress he wants with it. Which will probably turn out to be, behind the scenes, not really all that much. He'll be constrained by his legal department and his appetite for flouting regulations will continue to just attract fines and lawsuits (that he can trivially afford) but not actually change the law. Meanwhile he's still implementing a global satellite internet company, providing by far the cheapest ticket to get cargo into space, and still dominating the electric car market. We'll continue to hate his guts and he'll continue to be an unfathomably rich troll.

It's disrespectfully cold for April in Seattle right now and I am big mad about it. Also thanks for the support! I'm pretty sure I'm the preferred candidate but it's one of those things where I get nervous.

Both spacex and tesla are wildly successful giant companies that have made musk hundreds of billions richer. SpaceX and Tesla are him writing Rocket Ship and Electric Car on a white board, pointing to it, and letting a whole lot of smarter people than him make design decisions and get things done. There are scientists and engineers doing experiments, making prototypes, and (presumably) trying to make a decent product. He makes decisions, but he can't reverse the laws of physics, mechanics, chemistry, etc. that ultimately determine what can and cannot be done. Twitter would allow him (an egomaniac who is absolutely losing his mind to make people like him) to make much more subjective judgement calls on what is or is not allowed to be posted for the world to see. That means someone like, say, Donald Trump suddenly having access to the platform again because he stokes Musk's ego a bit.

He makes decisions, but he can't reverse the laws of physics, mechanics, chemistry, etc. that ultimately determine what can and cannot be done. Nah. He's infamously a micromanager. Granted he is not an engineer, but he's intimately involved in every decision, to a fault. His talent (and it's a real one) is in aggressively attacking every process and component and system to see what can be cut. This interview is rambling and long and annoying, but if you can tolerate it, you'll get to some points where he actually gets into his approach to engineering problems in the development of the new really big rocket, and it's a rare insight into what he actually brings to the table as a CEO. I've hopefully got this URL pointing to the segment starting around 6 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t705r8ICkRw&t=379s e. at about 13:30, he uses a question about the grid fins not folding to get into the fundamentals of what he forces his engineers to do and it's genuinely insightful and broadly applicable. quote:Twitter would allow him to make much more subjective judgement calls on what is or is not allowed to be posted for the world to see. That means someone like, say, Donald Trump suddenly having access to the platform again because he stokes Musk's ego a bit. Potentially, yes, although he might find himself at the helm of a huge organization he did not build himself, with a ton of institutional momentum and resistance to change. I'm sure he could do poo poo like get Trump his tweets back; I'm not sure he could (or would) radically change the platform. And I think Twitter (and other social media) have been under increasing congressional scrutiny and threat of regulation, which Musk's approach could actually trigger rather than mitigate.

Well yeah I mean if I wasn't clear, I don't like this man and I think he's bad and I don't want him running Twitter. Or anything. He should be in jail, if martha stewart had to go to jail for a little insider trading musk absolutely should have been jailed for massive public pump-and-dump stock manipulation poo poo.
