One point of space and time.

instead of convincing every user to fork over $8, maybe he can just convince one very gullible billionaire to fork over $44 billion in one shot

YES, CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG IS ABSOLUTELY A KAIJU
You think he’d be making the same crappy memes about how cheap it is if Steven king hadn’t poo poo on him for one tweet and gotten him to drop it from $20?

Also how quibbling over the exact price still completely misses the loving point that he’s trying to charge people money to make free content for him and his platform, especially if one of the selling points is that it gives higher priority for showing up in peoples feeds.

An $8 latte isn't coffee. It's dessert with caffeine. Just think of it in the same category as boba.

Yeah, he's absolutely in "posting through it" mode. Give it to the end of the week until he pulls back further on the idea and says it was all part of some elaborate social experiment master plan.

Is there a bit somewhere taking screenshots of all his Tweets? He seems very much the type to delete them all and try and say he wasn't mad in the paper.

I feel like someone needs to remake :mitt: but for Elon. Seriously, the need for validation from complete strangers is kind of sad at this point.

Are the poll results in favor of musk? I can’t check without making a Twitter account and logging in.

Buy time to secure a better career and bail bail bail. I mean dudes in "engineering" at Twitter are pretty much gold right and I'd think software people probably dislike musk for being the trope kid who screams that he is a German super hacker in CS:S level of "coder".

Yeah that's really stupid. I mean if you WFH you can apply for a job and do an interview all while home and secure a future job.

The "No remote work" Is to purge anyone who isn't already a musk-stan.

Nobody who actually wants to retain tech talent is doing that, remote work is practically a must if you want to retain good talent.
