No, because it would read his real emotions and post crying emoji rather than cry laughing.

Wonder what Tom MySpace thinks about this

He dgaf.

The guy did exactly what I'd do if I lucked into landing enough money for it never to be a concern again in my life. He travels the globe, going to any place that piques his interest, taking cool photos and meeting interesting people.

It's toe-tapping-ly tragic!

Had anyone noticed that Elon has not been in the trending list, in any capacity? He made them exclude him, didn't he?

I really should rewatch Silicon Valley (never saw the final season). It was way truer to tech-job life than I was expecting (more so than Office Space, even — part of that is the evolution of the industry but I'm impressed Judge was able to evolve with it)

Can you imagine how vile the work environment at Twitter will be in a year or two if they're still around and Elon is still the captain? Just think of the people who not only decide to stay on after a week or two of Elon, but actually attempt to jockey for promotions and increased responsibilities in this regime. An entire hierarchy of rear end kissers who are all prepared to throw anyone under them to the wolves in seconds if they think that this is what Elon wants based on his latest unhinged tweet.

They consulted a lot of people in the industry to make the show so it doesn't surprise me that it's surprisingly realistic. Apparently they talked to venture capital people and actually had to lower the dollar amounts they get for the company in the first season because the amount the VC's said they would be given was just not believable by an audience.

Also found some leaked footage of someone explaining twitter's architecture to Elon

Difficulty quitting Vim is an old programming joke, I assume he's making a 'cool' joke about how everyone's talking about his technical incompetence to take ownership and show he's totally in on the gag guys.

That senator is gonna get a bunch of death threats where the author forgets to do a find and replace to change all the "Daddy"s to "Elon"

Except for one where instead of "daddy" it's "My Son"

He deleted the "He's Fired" tweet as well as the one where he said he was at Twitter hq all night for some reason.

I went to link it to someone and it was gone!

I'm sure this is all great for morale.

The problem is Musk would want to solve world hunger his way. Because his way is the right way. Just imagine Musk applying his engineering and management skillset to solving global supply and scarcity issues.
