That’d be a 5D chess move and while Kanye at his best could seem like a smart dude, he’s mentally unstable most of the time.

It's such a nonsensical position to take. Yeah, I'm sure the guy did at least one good deed at some point in his life. That is so outweighed by the harm and evil he helped usher that it's moot. Louis CK is a great writer/performer. Doesn't outweigh that he also sexually abused people.

It's such fourth grader approach to things. "Oh you think they're ALL bad? He gave a hug to someone once, so I think he's good. I am very smart. nyaa".

About those Latin polls. So basically its "Vox Populi" when the result coincides with what he wants like everything since he bought the company, but coordinated bot attacks when the result goes against what he wants like his stupid attempt to mediate the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

I dont understand how such a complete bullshitter ever held togethet any businesses till now and made deals either anyone. I believe Twitter refered to his actions as a "model of bad faith" before he finally agreed to buy the company and that assement just seems spot on.

so how exactly is Elon going to take Twitter on path to profitability now that he's destroyed Twitter's actual revenue source (ads)

is he just gonna put in like $2bil of his own $$$ into twitter per year to keep running it as the equivalent of owning a newspaper or something?

Well, 2021 ad revenue was something like $4.5b. So all he has to do is convince 25% of the userbase to cough up $8/mo for checkmarks and he'll be printing money!

I kinda agree with Kanye. Hitler got the motorways built and also got universal healthcare and public housing to work properly. He wasn't all that bad.

But also, he was loving Hitler! Jesus Christ!

Hitler was a very good project manager and put some people into the perfect job, like goebbels, until he started trying to call code reviews and most of the staff left when they wouldn’t sign his pledge to be even more hardcore

The entire C suite class is dogshit brained morons op. It's a self protecting insular circle jerk of the dumbest assholes to ever be born rich basing entire careers of the human brain's natural but unhealthy preference for the known over the unknown. It's logically smarter to grab any person off the street than employ someone who has completely hosed up multiple companies but "he (it's almost always he) has previous experience! Sharon is just a competent accountant who knows our business inside out. No way we could promote her".

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
Sorry for the interruption, but this Thursday Twitter really needs you. 98% of the people reading this won't post, they'll just look the other way. All we ask is one post, or whatever seems reasonable to you today. It's fast and easy to post on your phone. We ask you, humbly: please don't scroll away.

Why does't Elon just monetize botting?

like ban all the 3rd party bots but then just introduce official twitter approved bots you can rent for $1/each per month or something?

like if you buy the blue checkmark you get 5 bots to begin with as a "starterpack" to advertise it
