In a Tuesday statement, police in South Pasadena said that the incident involved a member of Musk's security team, whose vehicle hit the car of a man he alleged was following him.

The police called the security team member a "suspect." They did not say what crimes they suspected him of committing, but said they were investigating a report of "an assault with a deadly weapon involving a vehicle."

...

The statement from South Pasadena police, though, contained no mention of a suspected stalker.

“At no time during the incident did the victim identify the suspect or indicate the altercation was anything more than coincidental," police said.

I’m sure whatever employees that are still sweating it out are overjoyed over the prospect of an apartheid aristocrat breathing down their necks to produce more code.

reminder that he told one of his sycophants that they'd have to invest their life savings

I think he's offering people to take on all the debt he created and be his public scapegoat, while he will keep implementing his edicts and random bans "behind the scenes." For some reason there are no takers.

It's like he was trying to find a way to say "I'm Rick James, bitch" and "I'm rich, bitch" at the same time and that was what came out instead.

It could probably be salvaged if Elon spent some more money, hired a PR team and competent execs and said, “I am stepping back and will have no role any longer” and stopped posting on the platform altogether.

(But he won’t do that)

This announcement is 100% due to Tesla’s nosedive. Prior to this, his poll was “just a trick to snare bots” or w/e

Does anyone think Tesla’s stock will rebound if Elon quits twitter? It’s a lifestyle company masquerading as a tech company that makes cars. People bought it for that positive branding. Now that brand has been overwhelmed by its association with a whining nazi on a months long bender, and it’ll never recover.

What's that? You want to try running this company? Heh, pal, let me explain something to you. Everyday that I've been here, there has been a massive and embarrassing gently caress up. This place is consistently in the news because of all of the policy decisions. Yeah it's honestly been a nightmare to work here if you ask me. Hmm? Who made up those policy decisions? Well uh- you see

they suggest just saying what you mean. i prefer the term staterian because everyone looks at you like you're the idiot instead of them for living in a blue checkmark country.

I wonder how much of Twitter could even be salvaged if he sold it so someone who promptly spent whatever it took to get everyone back

I know the real answer is "Twitter's only value was in its brand and cultural footprint, and you're not getting that back, also lol" but it's kind of fun to try to mentally game it out

lmao look at the timestamps on these two posts

Just like with the "checkmarks can vote only" thing (and everything else he's done), Elon once again waits for one of his rear end-kissers to come up with a suggestion, then pounces on it like it's his idea first.

The value Tesla has lost is equivalent to $250,000 for every single car they have sold up to this point. Astonishing that the company was ever valued that high.

Love Elon choosing what roles he will serve under the new CEO...wouldn't that be up to the CEO if he was pretending it was anything but a figurehead position?
