Will Elon run for president? Isn't that the ultimate end goal for obsessive clout and reputation chasers

He’s not born in the US I believe so legally he can’t. That being said, all he really needs to do is to run as a republican and they’d politely ignore that fact. But yeah if Musk was a born US citizen he’d absolutely buy Twitter specifically to prepare for a presidential run.

A lot of big tech companies will hoard skilled developers and will have them work on projects that have a slim chance of going anywhere.

The Saddest Rhino posted:The Rahul Ligma joke was funny for a hot minute and it makes sense he needs to drag it for as long as possible He's stripped it off the minimum amount of effort needed to parse the surnames into "the joke" and is just saying the punchline in the setup like a 12yr old who thought something was hilarious but didn't understand the process is part of the result when they try riff off it. I feel this is an Elon original meme, not one he stole for a change.

Imagine being a literal billionaire and spending all of your time posting cringe poo poo to a public forum where people just dunk on you all day non stop. Is this a fetish for him? At least when I post cringe poo poo 100,000 people don't all call me a pencil-dicked moron

Twitter, the service, isn't likely to stop working in the next few days, or probably weeks. But it died today. Whatever keeps lurching forward isn't going to be built and run by the people who made it what it is. It'll be built and run by the people who aren't happy with what it is and chose to stay after the new boss pulled an atomic seagull power move. The legal team that protected it and kept it somewhat following laws worldwide is gone. The operations team that kept its software deployed and servers running in datacenters is gone. The teams that found and fixed bugs are gone. The security team is gone. The moderation staff are gone. The ad sales people are gone. The people who ran their staffing and payroll and training are gone. And even though twitter dot com probably won't get squatted when it comes up for renewal soon, everyone who relies on Twitter is having to consider other options. No one can ever trust the service again. Not advertisers, not news organizations, not media companies, not businesses, not users. Not in the way they did a month ago. LOL

Someone will absolutely be waiting for the exact moment that domain's up for renewal, if only because it'll be really funny. At worst you could make Elon pay you a shitload of money to get it back.

Woke up this morning and was hearing this strange buzzing noise coming from deep in my closet. Went all the way down in the back and it's my old Charlie Sheen detector just vibrating like crazy. The thing doesn't even have batteries in it any more, what's going on?

Re: Twitter replacements, it seems like the main thing keeping any of them from really serving the purpose is posts being embeddable. Right? Mastodon posts aren't embeddable? Or are they? Facebook posts must not be, otherwise I'm sure we'd have seem them here as often as we've seen tweets over the years. It seems to me that a huge part of Twitter's success was rooted in the fact that posts could be embedded anywhere on any site, which made them ubiquitous across news articles, forums, random websites without formal syndication agreements, just anything. It's what allowed it to work as a journalism platform. It was the final culmination of that era about 15 years ago when every web page or blog post had a string of "share" icons for sites like digg/stumbleupon/reddit/de.licio.us/all those other sites that I can't even remember now. For something to take over for Twitter it's going to need to operate without any need for people to be members of the site to see its content.

But yeah at the moment he seems to both be retweeting stuff that makes it seem like he purposefully killed twitter and it's dying, as well as saying he's everything fine, got it under control better than ever. He could see how bad poo poo is and is trying to give himself an out by saying, "oh yeah, I meant this all along". The simplest in most likely thing though is he just really loves attention -particularly from "cool" memer people, and will do anything to get it.
