Big 'Rich rear end in a top hat flails $200,000 Lamborghini into several cars and lampposts right outside the dealership' energy.

Is this the most significant loss of capital by a single person in human history? I mean that in the 'single person' sense as well as the 'single person' sense.

e: 220,000 $200,000 lamborginis.

That's two hundred and twenty Walmart parking lots filled with $200,000 Lambos. I can't even picture that. What the gently caress how does a single person accumulate that much power? How does a single person acknowledge they could single handledly solve world hunger, and then gently caress that off to piss it all on loving twitter? The amount of good I can do with a meaningless fraction of that wealth and he doesn;t give a single poo poo about anyone but himself. This is hosed. What the loving gently caress is wrong with this species that we'd let this happen? gently caress! I'm losing it. I need a drink and a smoke and a Walmart parking lot filled with Lambos. Aaahhhhhhhhhhh

Probably, though some crypto-bro lost something like $16 billion this week when his crypto exchange flatlined. Twitter is worth something even if we know it's not worth what Elon paid for it. Was it worth $30 billion? Who knows. We also know it won't be worth very much at all when he's done with it.

this is funny when its people making obvious jokes, and theres very obvious bad faith actors who will be snuffed out like people trying to pretend to be major politicians, but shits gonna get dark pretty quick when you get people pretending to be d-list celebrities to try and get access to starstruck teens, or low-level politicians to try and cause local issues. not to mention the twitter security team going after this stuff is overwhelmingly american, itd be easy to imitate, say, a japanese artist or a brazilian musician, even relatively known ones.

and i still dont understand what he means by 'democratization,' because even if you take the worst bad faith approach and say he wants random republicans to be able to have a checkmark to make their election conspiracies seem credible, he's just removed all credibility of the checkmark. it seems like he really thought the purpose it served was just aesthetic.

The crypto FTX bro had his billions as a market cap of his scam token that turned out to be a scam (as expected) so I'd hardly identify him as someone who could really pull out all those virtual billions as USD and become an oligarch. Musk's billions being in a publically traded company with an insane valuation are a lot more real. And he already used a shitload of them to buy another public, real company. He could have done so much public good with that money instead of imploding a company and firing half the workforce there.

I can't wait for payment processors to drop twitter for not addressing suspected fraud and charge backs.

To put this into perspective, at Venmo (a decently large p2p payment system in the US) we had a threshold of charge backs before our bank started to grump. We placated them by showing what we did to try to mitigate charge backs & fraud (a VERY significant amount of eng work went into this).

Even still, if we didn't have such a strong relationship with our bank they'd have dropped us.

Same thing at a fortune 500 company that took in $14 billion of revenue yearly.

They don't give a crap about Twitter and Elon's madness. They 100% will drop them and if they do no reasonable payment processor will enter into that nightmare relationship.
