There are only two things in this world that are more embarrassing than these tweets

The second most embarrassing thing is debating over whether to vote yes or no in this poll instead of just closing your account

The most embarrassing is still having a twitter account at all, like holy smokes what a pathetic loser you would have to be to still be on twitter right now

I dunno about the theory that Saudis told him to step aside (who is this Raisini guy and why does he respond to every musk tweet??) but I don't think there's really a way forward for twitter either way. A new CEO can roll back all the changes he made, but that won't change that everyone knows the site is owned by a lunatic and that a lot of people have already left for good, and that there's probably some pretty hefty fines from the FTC and EU coming up. The site is doomed.

I guess elon is on the slump of his drug binge. it should probably be pointed out that he just watched messi, probably the best football player ever, get worshipped like a hero at the world cup. It's watched by literally a billion people so maybe narcissist elon got a reality flash of how insignificant twitter is and that no one likes him.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this, and the claim that the Saudis told him to get his poo poo together or else, convinced him to melt down like this.

Even if Musk has crypto bros fawning over him, everyone knows that respect and adoration is super transactional.

No one can save it under any circumstances because it's saddled with more debt than it can ever hope to pay off, lol

Seth Green as young Lowtax, sure.
Old Lowtax is just John Goodman from the big Lebowski. These days you could probably go with Seth Rogen or Jonah Hill to do it effectively.

Already adding caveats.

Nobody in their right mind would work for musk in that position because who can fix a company that he's actively trying to destroy?

Oh I see, he wants to find somebody else dumb enough to pour money into the endless gaping maw of debt he's turned Twitter into. There's really no fixing Twitter at this point - the very first thing a new CEO would have to do would be to roll back all Musk's stupid loving ideas, then re-hire a good portion of the ex-Twitter people (who won't want to come back if Musk still owns the company, regardless of who the CEO is) or hire new people who want to risk working for a lunatic. And the only thing that accomplishes is salvaging the site from caving in on itself. It doesn't bring in any revenue to pay the bills, doesn't evade all the fines about to get dumped on them, doesn't bring people back to the site, and definitely won't assuage advertisers for a long while.

Elon just doesn't want to be listed as the Captain on the logbooks when the Titanic goes down. He thinks jumping ship early will save his reputation lmao.
