Help me wade through the "logic" Elon would have to follow to be able to laugh at that Babylon Bee post.

people who think elon is doing a bad job are criminally insane and resent him for showing the world that they are, also elon musk is a cool rich tech genius hero like batman

All conservative "jokes" are just demeaning whatever Other they're mad at that moment.

There's no actual humor or logic or internal consistency, you're looking in the wrong place, that's NPC poo poo.

If you think young trans kids are not mocking the ever living gently caress out of the Musk marshmallow man pictures then I got some news for you about how bitchy the unofficial mermaids discord can be.


It’s all playing video games while watching documentaries about crypto and other financial scams, because oddly enough British trans youth actively avoid any platforms where their existence is up for discussion.

I'm not going to suggest the patrons of SA have as much crap to deal with as transpeople growing up, but our weird blend of hatred for fash and a lot of neurodiverse people here probably matches that bitch humour and I hope makes then feel at home here,

He was never going to step down. He didn't have a plan in mind and he's not ready to walk away. He just didn't think he could lose. He wanted affirmation. He really needed a hug and a "you're doing great, champ".

The result of that poll won't influence what he does and, I think, we always knew that. But it still really hurt him and and that's so goddamn funny.

I legit thought the poll was his way of giving himself an out, just say "oh well the people have spoken" and walk away leaving any one of the 7.837 billion or so people on the planet more competent than he is in charge of it.

But his reaction since the poll closed shows that is clearly not the case. He thought it was a safe bet, that he'd romp it in and be able to claim some legitimacy from it. But it turns out his platform hates him, people boo and jeer him at public events, the share price that inflates his networth is tanking, it's all turning to poo poo for him. All he can do is like posts from random chuds, be a loser reply guy and it's loving great.

Musk'll appoint someone else as CEO, there'll be a flush of money from Kushner and friends to keep it afloat, everyone will go back to using it as normal except now there'll be a much more extreme right wing bent to the moderation and promotion of topics but people will pretend that's not the case. General global attitudes and narrative will still be disproportionately steered by Twitter due to it being treated as such a major source by news networks and everything will be shifted right even further than they were in the past and that'll just be how things are, because it just needs to be slightly less overt than what Musk was doing for it to generally fly under the radar.

I dunno, twitter is basically worthless as a trade mark now and Musk is only helping accelerate that. I think that twitter is going to crash and burn.

If twitter HQ does a die hard it will be the lamest die hard. Honestly I can imagine a lot of the twitter employees just siding with any terrorist/thieves, just as they'd be far more humane employers and just generally people.

Someone will buy it when Musk runs it into the ground.

It'll be a shadow of what it used to be and will never regain that tech-stock endless growth hype but can probably be made to run at a small profit if they maintain it as-is rather than spending vast sums on various boondoggles to satiate tech investors.

How does that work with the mega-loan and the billion in yearly loan interest that's apparently tied to Twitter, not Musk? Clearly Twitter is not going to make a billion a year so simplistically it just seems like a dead company walking and nobody would possibly want to buy that, but I don't know how this works and I'm guessing there might be some financial trickery that would be done.

To be fair, I think just about every villain has 100% figured out he's Batman and just 'forgot' or never leveraged it well enough. Catwoman, Joker, Riddler, Harley Quinn, Ra's, Hush, Bane, Lex Luthor.

I'm sorry, that's not accurate, though: Harley and Catwoman aren't villains anymore.

Elon is trying to find somebody worse than him at running a website to receive the CEO title as an ironic punishment of the wokes, but so far his search has been for nought,, even after interviewing Mike Lindell (the launch of frank.com was deemed far too competent by Mr Musk)
