Slight correction: Some guy from Twitter was on for a second before he introduced Musk. The Twitter guy was the one yelling Jason and asking about tracking and hunting children. https://twitter.com/MarisaKabas/status/1603607292494204928 https://twitter.com/MarisaKabas/status/1603609704244150273 Edit: and the space appears to be just suddenly shut down now.

There’s a wapo article about Tesla investors saying Elon needs to get back to managing Tesla and how they still think he’s the best CEO in the world he just needs to stop getting distracted by twitter

Main Paineframe posted:It'll probably shift during the day tomorrow when all the professional chud-herders are awake and ready to tell their audience all about how Elon Musk needs their help to own the libs. Getting lit up by the crowd at Chapelle's show really must have hosed him up. He obviously expected cheers from an adoring crowd and had probably told himself all this time that the criticism was just from an annoying but small minority of "woke" idiots. Its tough to guess what he's really thinking, but it may have been the first time he actually realized that maybe he was now hated and all those marketing people at Tesla who were desperately trying to convince him all year that he was driving away customers, maybe they were all correct. Rather than disconnect to do some serious soul-searching, talk to people outside his bubble, and change he went the paranoid route of "oh God, I'm still right but I'm outnumbered, people are probably going to hunt me down and kill me, I have to hide. Quick, ban the Elon jet kid!"

Is there some chronology of Lowtax's meltdown or something? I see these comparisons and I understand the end of it but I don't follow the "mid-game," so to speak. Like, was he committing abuse and then going online to just ban a bunch of people to continue a rush or something? I'm asking if there's some link somewhere about this because this has some real derail risk here and I imagine somebody's already long-posted it.

The reason that Twitter Space talk that the banned journalists were hosting went off the air was not because Elon shut the space down after he got driven out. It was because he shut down the entire Twitter Spaces feature worldwide after he got kicked out. I tried to start one and it is fully disabled.  By the way, to any Buzzfeed and New York Times reporters reading: Thank you! Working hard!

He is 100% Lowtax angrily tearing through Radium's garbage coding to try and delete one subforum and accidentally locking GBS in the process or something.

This is all very funny to imagine him having that little self awareness. I keep thinking there's gotta be a point where even he realizes he's being loving ridiculous but the internet has proven that that's not how this works at all for people so, that's probably not going to ever happen I guess.

The majority of billionaires stay incredibly quiet and you don't see them in the news. Musk is an exception because, to a huge degree, his wealth was built off his public profile as a tech mogul: Tesla is massively overvalued because of the brand and that's where a lot of his wealth is/was.
