Nobody has ever seen Musk and Jeffrey in the same room at the same time. We also never really found out how Jeffrey got rich. Makes you think

Extinction for our time

I hadn't seen this story before, a shareholder of Tesla is taking Musk and the company to court this month because Musk's insane ~$50 billion pay package as CEO of Tesla doesn't actually require him to spend any time running the company. The trial starts next week, so it's a perfect time for Musk to be publicly wasting all his time posting on Twitter. It is also taking place at the same court and with the same judge as the Twitter buyout lawsuit.

Reuters posted:

As Elon Musk is engulfed in his overhaul of Twitter, the entrepreneur is headed to trial to defend his record $56 billion Tesla Inc pay package against claims it unjustly enriches him without requiring his full-time presence at the carmaker.
[. . .]
Tornetta's lawyers argue the 2018 package failed its stated purpose of focusing Musk on Tesla. They portray Musk as a "part-time CEO," citing his testimony that in 2018 he worked Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at the electric carmaker and Monday and Thursday at rocket company SpaceX, according to his deposition.

According to the lawsuit, Tesla's board chair Robyn Denholm said the "minimal time" Musk was at Tesla was "becoming more and more problematic” in a 2018 email to Gabrielle Toledano, who at the time was the Tesla Chief People Officer.
[. . .]
"He now owns Twitter. How do they want to factor that in?" said Myers, who added that it will be a challenge to determine how to keep Musk from being distracted by other ventures.

"How much money do they need to put in front of this guy to get his attention," he said.

Clever ploy, you link the users back to their own accounts so that elon musk and his many alts all reveal themselves.

You've got it wrong. The ploy is way more subtle than that. We joke a lot about Elon being dumb, but he's surely not dumb enough to fall for something this simple. However, I figured he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to point out that he saw through it.

After all, why would anyone want to be such a party pooper by revealing the trick before it had a change to work, Arrrthritis. Or should I say Elon Musk!

Any child knows there's no polishing a turd but there sits Musk shouting obscenities at people while his hands are deep in the shitpile.

This sentence didn't work out the way I thought it would but gently caress it. Musk deserves no better.

They supposedly will get to keep them for a while but will eventually have to pay $8. So, its no longer going to be meant for verification in any way whatsoever at all, it will literally be just $8 bling. And if you don't buy the $8 bling, your tweets will all get shadowbanned.

It's worth remembering that the point of the blue ticks was to stop people impersonating celebrities, and they were brought in because a bunch of celebs were suing Twitter.

With the new system, they're asking famous people to pay them to do the work they had to do anyway to not get sued.
