He finally did it. Just like people endlessly repost dril tweets, Elong now has one that people will remember any time someone says "Hey, remember that Twitter site that used to be a thing?"

i think this was from the Twitter Spaces "townhall" where musk was mumbling and stuttering through non-answers to questions

i wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly just decided, in the moment, that twitter would become an Epic High Interest Savings Bank

I should've known. I kinda hope this one sticks though, Twitter going down because Elon had a mumbly public idea about taking it into the financial industry would be a very funny outcome that I did not predict.

I'm really excited about this new business model.

You give us your money, we park it in TCOIN at 10% per year. Great deal for you, and TCOIN is a stablecoin, algorithmicly linked to another cryptocoin in a way that it just can't lose value. Because of the math (it's very complicated).

How do we make money if we're giving you 10% return per year? Well, as more people invest the price goes up, probably more than 10% per year, and we keep the extra. The price just keeps going up as more and more people invest, we make money, you make money, everyone wins! It's not a pump and dump, it's a pump and pump! It's not a rug pull, everyone gets *two* rugs!

I was thinking today that Microsoft's strategy for their enterprise cloud platform I work with is a lot like Elon here: let's just push out updates (trust us we tested them they work) and if it breaks? We'll give you a hotfix if enough people complain, rolled out at our leisure

this is an enterprise finance platform, and we are a relatively tiny consumer of it, and even still it handles nearly all of our operations in three countries, inventory, COGS, etc. It cannot be down 5 minutes let alone "?? we'll let you know" because MS pushed another fix that broke an entire module of the system (who needs to actually do invoice payments, right?). They were notorious for this during the early adoption phase - update packages that passed MS's certification (lmao) would regularly break just random, weird things, but visible enough things that "how the gently caress did their regression testing not catch this"

Just iterate through it baby. So what if that hurried prod release just cost us tens of millions in lost revenue, next time? We'll do it better. That's progress baby!

The My Pillow guy is a "billionaire" and he personally goes out to hundreds of random QAnon conferences to run a booth there that sells $20 pillows. Sounds like a future for Musk's grift. He'll hawk his blue checkmarks at various conspiracy conference booths.

Just saw Marques video where he was giving constructive ideas on how to make Twitter an "S-tier" platform in case Musk was watching.

Fairly sure Musk isn't listening.
