If they're the right results.

He was probably expecting just to get an ego boost out of it after getting his feelings hurt a week ago, and have the results prove that the Chappelle performance was all just a bad fluke. But what he got instead was his second big reminder that he is in fact viewed as an enormous rear end in a top hat by tons of people, and this probably has been eating him alive .

What kills me is that he *himself* made the poll, promised publicly to stand by it, and then very publicly didn’t. It’s like he’s taped a rake to his shoe at tho point.

I have to say, the fact that Elon sulked for hours after the poll HE HIMSELF FORMULATED AND POSTED finished with a result he didn’t like, only for him to furiously ignoring the implications of it while stating that actually now polls will only be legit for those with subscriptions….good heavens what a tool :allears:

I’m honestly flabbergasted at how stupid he is at this point. He seriously proclaim and do things without a second of forethought. He must think that every big corporation works like this. Like, I bet he thinks that McDonald’s acquired “I’m lovin’ it” as a slogan on a whim by the genius decision of Ronald himself, rather than the result of months of testing, lawyering and focus grouping by untold numbers of employees.

Well that's what he gets for being an apartheid baby raised on Rand-esque bullshit.

Like someone else said, we've seen someone else do this "well the polls were rigged" bullshit. And funnily enough, that same big wet boy also didn't like having to defer to expertise.

He's profoundly stupid and equally as pathetic.

Any hanger-on to the cult of Elon Musk that you or any of us personally know should be ashamed, ridiculed, and outcast accordingly as anyone with half a loving braincell should see right through how loving stupid elon is.

This guy I know and have to talk to at length on a regular basis has an insidious tendency to thread little ~oPiNiOnS~ into his monologues on whatever subject, and then just skip on to the next point so there's no time to get a word in edgewise or call him on it. But lately he's been doing this all the time with Elon.

Subject: opsec/not publishing your home address
"Yeah ultimately you want to be able to get packages delivered at your house; that's just way easier, and there's no real downside. The only reason I still have that UPS Store mailbox is to get big packages or valuable things that I want to be sure someone is there to sign for; you don't want someone just leaving that by your front door or in the rain or whatever. But you still don't want to just be broadcasting your address to anyone who wants to dig for it. Domain names have your address on them, that sort of thing. Some crazy person can look you up from a whois and then you have to wonder whether they'll show up at your door. And that's why it's important for people not to be able to track the plane you're on. Anyway I'd say let's go ahead and cancel that one mailbox we have, and get the cars registered at address A —"

Yep. I'm back on my pet theory. A Saudi prince held a gun to his head (literal or not, take your pick) and told him they want ROI on the Hunter hack-and-dump and he's scrambling to deliver.

Musk is a dumb shithead, but there are bad actors at play with actual plans in motion.

I do enjoy the proclamation that there were payments and then there's no evidence of payments.

And there's a pretty good chance that all this going down is going to have effects on that, Musk might well gently caress up SpaceX's ability to handle DoD contracts out of all of this.

A bit more context:

quote:

A lot of big names have been coming out of the chats that went viral. When Musk announced his interest in Twitter and eventually acquired a share, he got plenty of messages from business tycoons and many other famous personalities. Some of the names include Jack Dorsey (founder of Twitter), Larry Ellison (Founder of Oracle), Mathias Döpfner (CEO of Axel Springer), and several others.

However, there was one person who was not from a similar background even though he went extremely happy knowing Elon Musk was going to buy Twitter. That person was none other than the co-creator of Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland.

His text said, “I loving love that you are majority owner of Twitter.” He texted this on April 6, 2022. Later on, he also pitched an identity verification service that one of his friends run. Musk declined, stating that he could not make any adjustments since he only controlled 9% of Twitter.

I love that last sentence there, yeah Musk sure hasn't been making any adjustments since he took over :v:

the contract to buy Twitter is gonna be studied for decades because iirc it was the most insanely seller friendly contract anyone has seen in a very long time

Like there was one escape clause but it was so narrow as to be functionally irrelevant

It’s not really that uncommon to see a specific performance clause in a purchase agreement. It’s just that, you know, in a multi-billion dollar LBO, generally the buyers don’t put the bid together in a narcissistic drug-fueled haze and they actually intend to close on the thing.

Not everything is a conspiracy

Sometimes people are just major dumbasses who go on insane drug binges and buy major social media platforms without any guardrails

It's much more likely he's just an alt-right racist who now owns a major platform. Usually the simplest explanation is the right one

Not everything is a conspiracy and I don't mean to sound like I'm discounting the entirely real possibility that it is nothing more than a giant pissbaby being a giant pissbaby.... but when Russian and Saudi money backs an objectively bad purchase financially? It makes things stink badly of ulterior motives.

Also, multiple things can be true at once. An unimpeded Adderall (or other amphetamine) binge isn't mutually exclusive with "we're keeping you out of financial ruin so you can X, Y, and Z for us".

He totally saw that poll a follower did (whose posts would only be seen by the Musk-sycophantosphere) that was way in his favor, and assumed that he could just do the same thing on a larger scale with the same results.

And now he's backpedaling in the most bitchmade way possible.

Twitter is a small part of his fortune, even with the tens of billions he's put into it. If Twitter dies he's still a massively wealthy person, until Tesla itself falls off the cliff like it should (and we're talking about sub $50s) he's got more resources than many governments.
