Everything on that list of features is stupid. Who was asking for longer videos on Twitter? Is that really a thing? Anything longer than a minute and I'm out, and it'd better be bloody funny to even last that long.

Also notice how, outside of the checkmark, all of those features are still "coming soon". But pay now and you'll be just like those celebrities, brands, and politicians you love so much! Nobody will be able to tell you apart, finally you will matter and have friends and people will like you, you'll be just like Keanu Reeves

holy poo poo that just...reeks of desperation. Thats...not a good deal. Thats a terrible deal. LOL

He couldn't even wait out the rest of 2022 to learn the business from the inside and really get a good feel for the business, he just thought he was the boy genius who had all the answers.
It's clear he's ok being clownshoes on behalf of his investors both because of his vanity and precedent of doing that in the world, but yeah whatever endgame he originally had is clearly muddied up to the point where he's betting on exactly two things:

1. That there isn't a ready-enough substitute for people to migrate to, and for a lot of key Twitter people--celebrities, politicians, news agencies, corporate reps-- that is true. They're not leaving because like it or not, posting Tweets is still the fastest way to do releases they want to do. That tipping point still hasn't been reached, even if he's already burnt a loving ton of goodwill to the ground.

2. Riding out the press cycle and when everyone loses energy/interest for some other shiny thing, the changes will stick. "Yeah sure gripe and snipe at me all day, but you're still here and I know you have nowhere else to go."

did this man just say that the economy is gdp per capita times capita?

This wasn't supposed to be turned on until the 7th according to the docs floating around so either this accidentally toggled on early and incomplete because they dev team is just blindly deploying poo poo or they worked the remaining staff/QA all week to get this poo poo out

either option explains why it is not working at all

i don't know how true the lines of code thing is, but literally steve balmer back in the 80s recognized that judging a coder or code base by lines of code is a bad way to judge code quality / work (it's from an interview with the pbs doc, "triumph of the nerds" but i can't find a clip of it).

hell there is a story about bill atkinson, the "father" of the modern GUI, writing "-2000" when his managers asked him how much work he had done (by lines of code) during the week.

these are all lessons learned in the 80s and musk apparently still has this thought process even though almost no on else in the tech industry believes lines of code is a good measurement of anything. like he could ask any big tech ceo if that's a good idea and they'd say, "no"

but he obviously hasn't talked to anyone in the tech industry. ceo of microsoft satya nadella? what's his net worth? $800 million? he's not worth enough to listen to.

Where does “move fast, break things” come from?

Sounds like some dumb slogan a tech dork picked up doing a work retreat weekend “training” with an ex Navy SEAL and decided it sounded cool.
