 Things seem to be going "well" at Twitter post...well decimation would be incorrect as that was only 1/10th of a group.https://twitter.com/rothschildmd/status/1588564108848549888?s=20&t=4xiJTY6vO2as6FVaHpgzCg

Wonder what damage an employee with musk’s password could do to his wealth with a single tweet. Something like “announcing recall of all Teslas because of severe fire danger, park as far away from your house as possible and run!” Probably ding a few billion off his stock holdings.

Kinda surprised Musk hasn’t gotten busted for excessive replies to young women that he doesn’t realize are viewable to everyone, seems to be in the age range for that. Poor Andy Richter.

From the buzz (this was rumors so might be wildly off base) he was a noted unsolicited reply guy to female comedians and figures like AOC, not obscene stuff but clearly checking their profiles way more than a married father over 50 should be doing, and it was assumed it contributed to his unexpected divorce. Might be untrue but heard it from multiple sources, so always think of it when an older male Twitter user is in the news as they didn’t know their likes or follows were visible.

Iran is getting very spicy. A cleric was killed. I have seen other reports (unconfirmed) that there are more fatalities from the regime. There have been some pics/videos floating around implying that some check point guards were killed and a police vehicle overwhelmed and its occupants killed.

ASAPI posted:All right, I need to know now. What is Elon's SA username? A running joke in yospos is that he was notorious troll/awful poster/still one of the top ignored people stymie. Stymie was a pain in the rear end in yospos to anyone who would reply to him. He absolutely despised computer touchers and would degrade them all the time while claiming he worked labor and knew what it was like to build things with his hands. He was such a pain in the rear end that just quoting stymie would net a probation. Eventually poster johnny290 put two and two together that someone with the visceral contempt for computer touchers was exactly like most c-suite types and venture capitalists he has ever met. Calling stymie a wealthy vc caused him to melt down gloriously before finally being banned. He has never returned, and his reaction to being called out was very telling in a “hit dog will holler” kind of way. Since then the hivemind decided that musk was stymie. It probably wasn’t him, but it is still fun to imagine.

Oh. Those. I saw that myself. It was like clockwork on some of the comedians I follow, I went 'cringe', but then he must obviously know them all personally, bc why else reply? And on e v e r y thing? Assumed it was some pandemic too-much-time behaviour. I did not know that started years before lockdown. I did not know that was a parasocial relation. And that's how something that looked like a chatty neighbour suddenly turns into a local sex creep stalking all the women in a small mountain town. Pretty sure I've seen it recently too.

Soylent Pudding posted:I said way back that if Musk has to own Twitter the best outcome is he manages to destroy Twitter so hard it takes Tesla out with it. That's feeling way more plausible than I really thought. Tesla has actual productive assets (factories, etc). If Musk's liquidity is so trashed that he has to sell a controlling stake in Tesla to fund Twitter operations (just lol at being in that position), Tesla is almost certainly going to continue operating under new owners.

hypnophant posted:fundamentally, this only happens because the bigger store is able to offer lower prices than two competing smaller stores could because of economies of scale. There isn’t any other advantage to being big; you keep out competitors by undercutting them on price. If you can raise your prices and still undercut any potential competitors, the price increases aren’t because of your profit margin; they’re because costs have gone up for everyone.

He was exactly the kind of unhinged that Elon Musk would be if he were trying to fit in with a bunch of goons in a subforum for shitposting about computers and the tech industry. Even if he isn't *actually* Musk, he is in YOSPOS canon.

You don't decide to refocus from 90% of your revenue while simultaneously firing half your workforce that could implement anything required to do so and then tweet through it at any potential customers. None of this is coherent or sane so he's either playing chess at a level beyond the comprehension of us mere mortals or hes a complete idiot blinded by hubris.

A good part is his money and everything is so stupid Tesla stock is getting crushed, which he will have to sell if he wants Twitter to continue as a going concern, further driving down the price. Theres no genius here, only completely loving stupid. He bought at 54.20 and that 4.20 alone cost him hundreds of millions for a stupid meme.
