According to the charts CEOs just do meetings. But if that's all they do then that must mean they have meetings about other meetings. Just constantly comparing every meeting like a lovely new partner who can't stop talking about how their ex sooo wouldn't have done that.

Thanks for attending this 9:45pm standup. We’ve got a lot to get through but I just want to say I’m super thankful to be your new manager. Now first of all I know what Elon wants, I’ve spoken with him directly. We’re best buds. He wants results. End of day, let’s do it. Get that site back up. Rewrite it if you have to. But I want to see those commits, on the hour. Also, management says everyone’s back in the office, mandatory, 9 to 9, until we are done. But we are going to be making the best products. The absolute best. Now before you get back to work, let’s go through this new style guide I’ve made— *servers in the next room set on fire* See that’s the kind of initiative I like to see. Pushing everything we’ve got as hard as it can go. Good work team. Back to the style guide—you have a question? A linter? What’s that? That’s not a thing. Anyway let’s save those questions for later, I’ve got a lot of slides to get through here… *building collapses*

AKA Pseudonym posted:I get that billionaires didn't simply bootstrap themselves into that position but he must have been good at something at some point right? He's got a knack for spending money on technology companies that are on their way up. Specifically his daddy's blood emerald money. Kibayasu posted:He was good at spending his money on buying companies doing things so it looked like he was doing things. Except it's never "his" money. It's someone else's, or another company's. priznat posted:Elon being CEO of 3 companies plus whatever he is at Twitter leads one to wonder - how much work do CEOs actually do Well, you've seen how much he's been shitposting. Draw your own conclusion. Bluemillion posted:You know it's kinda weird how he owns both Tesla and SpaceX, yet Twitter is what caused him to crash and burn. I want you to know I noticed this, and applaud it.  BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:He’s done. He lost the Galaxy Brain king Free speech at least requires recognizing a joke.

Anora posted:So when Elon defaults on his $44 billion loan what happens? We don't know, but it is safe to assume that the terms of his loans are extremely unfavorable to him in that instance. The banks he borrowed from are not completely stupid. Realistically, he'll be forced to liquidate whatever he has to (mostly more Tesla stock) to pay it off, which will tank the price, which will make any future shareholder lawsuit against him that much stronger.

Rigel posted:We don't know, but it is safe to assume that the terms of his loans are extremely unfavorable to him in that instance. The banks he borrowed from are not completely stupid. Musk took out a margin loan to pay for Twitter. The loan is backed by his shares of tesla. That’s probably just relevant to the bank finances portions of the deal. Who knows what the specific were for the wealthy “friends” of musk that invested in the deal.

MIT reports Twitter lost over 1 million users since Elon Musk’s takeover https://www.masslive.com/news/2022/11/mit-reports-twitter-lost-over-1-million-users-since-elon-musks-takeover.html?outputType=amp One week into Elon Musk’s ownership of Twitter, the social media platform has reportedly lost over one million followers. “We have observed an uptick in people deactivating their accounts and also Twitter suspending accounts,” said Christopher Bouzy, founder of the anti-disinformation and bot tracker platform Bot Sentinel. MIT Technology Review reported that Bot Sentinel analyzed 3.1 million accounts on Twitter and “believes that around 877,000 accounts were deactivated and a further 497,000 were suspended between Oct. 27 and Nov. 1. That’s more than double the usual number.” Bot Sentinel’s analysis watched a percentage of users with deactivated or suspended accounts before applying that percentage to the overall 237 million “monetizable daily active users” on Twitter. Based on the 5,958 accounts suspended or deleted the week before Musk’s takeover, it suggests a 208% increase in lost accounts “We also believe the increase in suspensions is from Twitter taking action on accounts purposely violating Twitter’s rules to see if they can push the limits of ‘free speech,’” Bouzy told MIT Technology Review. He believes some users are testing what can and will not stay posted, such as posts using hate speech. “I believe if users continue to deactivate their accounts en masse, it will become a significant problem for the platform,” Bouzy said. “If left-leaning and marginalized people leave the platform, Twitter will not differ from Parler or Truth Social.”

After he plays out whatever hand, I hope he has an actual moment of catharsis and goes, "Woops. Yeah that was a lot, sorry, sorry, I'm fixing it, sorry" He is in a state of perma-dogpile lol
