Elon Musk founded the company (X.com in 1999) that would eventually become paypal. This is one of the very few decent accomplishments he made where he deserves some credit, as opposed to just being the bag of money who provided financing. He had at least one legit good idea in his life, a lot of people didn't think it would work but it did. It very quickly became successful within months, so good job, Elon. However, before even one year passed after founding the company, the board didn't like some of Musk's decisions, thought he was not cut out to be a CEO, and replaced him.

X merged with another competitor to become even bigger and more successful, and the new company brought Musk back in as CEO in 2000 so he actually got a 2nd chance to run the company he founded. He then reportedly made technological decisions over the fierce objections of many engineers who thought his choices were stupid, and his decisions did in fact turn out to be very bad. Once again Elon did not even last a full year before the board removed him for someone who was not a moron. The new CEO listened to the advice of his engineers, it was renamed to Paypal, and the rest is history.

Strangely enough, and I know this might surprise you, Tim Cook hasn't responded yet. It's like he doesn't even respect the democratic process of the Twitter poll.

Yeah, I heard Apple is super terrified because some people clicked a button on Twitter.

Elon wants the comradery and competition of a high-stakes boiler room situation (and he wants to be the top dog slamming high-fives and everyone looking up to him), but doesn't understand what engineers even do or how they tend to work.

I'm an infrastructure engineer, not software, but it terrifies me to think of what my job would be like if the CEO told my manager he needed to get down in the trenches with us and work projects or do scut work. A big reason I have the time and clarity needed to do my job in an estate this complicated is because my manager spends an ungodly number of hours every week taking meetings with all the other teams around the world in order to make sure we're aligned. If he needed to also worry about doing my job, he wouldn't effectively do his job, then I would need to do his job, ineffectively, and as a result do my job ineffectively as well. Then we'd all get fired for unforced errors due to split attention.

Ask me about calling people racist because I failed geography.
The no working from home, everyone has to be here on the tenth floor poo poo is simple: Elon believes that by buying the company he has also purchased friends. If they aren't there they can't laugh at his jokes, tell him how cool he is, confirm that his hair looks totally real and you could never tell, etc etc. The nerds at space X keep locking him out of rooms where stuff is happening and he can't stop them because the actual MIC will sword-missile him if he interferes too much, the snowflake libs at Tesla keep making complaints to HR when he drops even a few casual N Bombs. Twitter was supposed to be cool! After all, all of the real accounts he interacts with on there (not the FAKE NEWS WOKE BOTS!!!!)tell him he's awesome all day, surely all the staff will idolize him and be desperate to hang out.

It's hard to overstate how bad it's gotten. Basically, there isn't really a health service anymore unless you have cancer or a life threatening injury, and even then with the latter you might be poo poo out of luck.

We're basically one step away from having to totally fend for ourselves. The NHS is over.

EDIT which is, as you say, all according to keikaku. Soon we'll be able to have ambulances again, but if you want one in the next two hours then you'll have to apply for the premium plan at Ambulances4U, etc...

It's in the hands of the worthless electorate and meanwhile people are working themselves to death to keep it going.

So Twitter is now just full of teams of people putting garbo code in and then deleting it next week ad infinitum.

“Deleting a line of code is more valuable than adding one.”

I hope someone deletes every single line of Twitter and submits that as their code review, claiming to be the most valuable person in the company.

I think it'd be adderall if anything

Also, a poll conducted to a group of people biased towards the poll-conductor isn't a very sound poll, that's like basic scientific process type poo poo. This guy is just another man-child

The way he's talking in the "You don't know what a VHS is? You're fired." video is really loving weird, like beyond just an odd mesh of South African and American accents. It's a cadence thing that makes my brain go "Uuuuuuhhhhhh, you good man?"
