It's extremely basic, uncomplicated jealousy and spite. They see other people with different values getting attention and get jealous and angry that it's not them.

lmao that's billion with a B

(though not per year, it was a one-time bonus payout for getting the stock price up to X value. and it was in stock not real money.)

The availability and reach was impressive for a single platform. It was not omnipotent but you could punt something out and reach a lot of people who'd tell their friends and family with a message that looks official, important, and/or interesting.

The extremely online are the loudest about 'what now' with it quickly approaching unusable echo chamber or just plain going away. But there's a lot of government agencies, news agencies, or scientific journals or networking groups scratching their head on what now as any other online forum has problems in reach, appearance etc. And why everyone was ready to sign the death certificate as soon as blue checks became pay at the same time moderation was gutted.

How 'bout them hawks news huh!
Between Elon firing anyone who don’t code 69 lines an hour and other IT companies recruiting the competent staffers with cushy deals such as “we won’t randomly firing you based on our CEO’s caffeine intake”, I can’t really see how Twitter corp. won’t be held together by duct tape and spit before the year is out.

Honestly, I'm not as concerned about COVID misinformation anymore, we've now reached the car seatbelt stage of that problem. "I'm not wearing that drat seatbelt, (stupid and wrong) studies show if you are rolling over you probably want to be thrown out anyway! And what if it catches fire and I can't get out in time?"

So did Elon and Kanye and the Right Wing in general prepare for their ascendency at Midterms where the Red Wave would vindicate them, All Americans secretly support them, pardon and unban Trump, hell maybe impeach and remove Biden?

Because the Red Piss Stream they got seems to have broken their brains, and they seem to be trying to enact the fascist takeover anyway with no cohesion or plan at all, in the most hilarious fail-son way possible. Like, the majority of Americans openly showed they hate this dumb poo poo and they are still going AH BUT IT IS BECAUSE YOUR TRUE THOUGHTS ARE SUPPRESSED!

I know this thread agrees the push to "write more CODEEE" is dumb, but can someone explain to me why it's dumb? I get the impression that writing code isn't like mining coal where more doing = more profit which is what Elon seems to think.
