I wonder, if I legally changed my surname to Musk, if I could convince Elon I'm one of his kids.

I mean, probably not, but mostly because I'm a decade or so too old.

This quote is particularly telling.

"For more than a month, they toiled over the engineering of the 20-foot boat to make sure it floated. They installed accordion folding doors, glass windows, pink shutters and painted murals in black, white and red paint of fantastical creatures on the sides. Strangers gave them bikes, a mattress and the sewing machine (powered by on-board batteries). "

The reporter cares more about knick knacks and bullshit oddities you shouldn't have on a raft than the engineering of the raft.

Lol, he'd have to pay like $15-or-so billion more on the deal than the current price because of his original agreement. I still think this is all a ploy and he'll never go through with it, though. The comment section on this tweet is cancer. Musk guzzlers are all-in on their new talking point that DEMOCRACY requires BOTH SIDES, and IN AMERICA we can't let private companies repeal our FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

It's hilarious that so many of the people who wouldn't shut up about Saintly Tesla vs. Evil Edison a decade ago are now huge Musk fans, when he's 1000% more Edison than Tesla (and even that's doing him a favor).

They have a massive userbase but no great ways to monetize that base. A competent enough leadership team could probably right the boat somewhat without driving off users, but I doubt Musk would do a great job.

Twitter is basically the only place on the internet where I still see online ads in any significant amount. Everything else has easy ways to bypass them, but Twitter is only really usable through the app where you can't block them.

I'm also dumb as a rock with pure impulse control and way too much disposable income so I don't know how they are not rolling in cash yet. The targeting is just really bad. It's all weird poo poo I would never consider clicking on. Like, today I'm getting ads from my local government about a study that demonstrates that cell towers don't cause cancer. Apparently it thinks I'm some new age weirdo? I have literally zero overlap with that bubble

My favorite part about the "silencing rightwing voices" on Twitter myth is that, no matter what I loving do, Twitter's algorithm is constantly recommending alt-right accounts and voices to me. Kyle Rittenhouse posted his fishing photos? Uh, thanks? Every time I open that site, I get chud bullshit thrown at me as poo poo I "might be interested in."

Absolutely, and the proof of this, in my mind, is that he still hasn't tweeted about the board approval. For someone who obsessively tweets about EVERYTHING that he's excited about it's pretty interesting.

There is no way he isn't buying twitter. The power to completely send humanity over the end into a failed state is too great to pass up.

Not that I think that many people are use it, but reporters sure do. So there is no way every hosed up thing he does/nazi allowed to go fully hog wild will be part of The Discourse.

Have you forgotten about his insatiable lust for hoarding money? He's not going to make money off of this twitter deal, that's why he wants out. If twitter were profitable, this would already be a done deal. The whole 'sending humanity over the end' would just be gravy.

no billionaire has ever needed to have anything to do with Twitter to get an infinite supply of NYT columns sucking their dick, if you're very rich and love attention they'll seek you out wherever you are. using social media to troll journalists is a poor man's game

Grimes' lyrics about Elon when they broke up while she was pregnant with their second child:

quote:

Baby
Would you still love me
Out on Europa?
Or will you forget?
La, la, la, la

Baby
How can I compare
To the adventure out there?

Sail away
To the cold expanse of space
Even love
Couldn't keep you in your place
But can't you love me like that?
Can't you need me like that?

If I loved him any less
I'd make him stay
But he has to be the best
Player of games

I'm in love with the greatest gamer
But he'll always love the game
More than he loves me (oh, oh)

"He'd rather micromanage SpaceX and manipulate others than be around me."

Grimes' lyrics at the height her relationship with Elon:

quote:

It makes me wanna die, die, I wanna die
You said I ruin your life
Love is the devil ahead and the devil doesn't sleep
Baby, take it out on me
Sorry I don't make it easy

Ooh, delicate weapon
Ooh, war in heaven
Ooh

Tell me all the ways I hurt your name
If you could see
You wanna keep me as forever
But it was just all a game
Make me
Truly choose regret
So that I can take the shorter path

Sounds pretty healthy and not all abusive and suicidey.

I'm guessing robot, that will do something that will seem "impressive" but will actually be pretty poo poo compared to other robotic stuff today and not have any practical uses. It will be a 1/2 million dollar children toy basically.

It will also gently caress up at least once during any demonstration.
