Yep, we are rapidly approaching the moment where he orders the last remaining Twitter staffers to hop into the desktop model-sized replica Telsa on his nightstand with him at gunpoint so they can drive off into the sunset and escape the burning wreckage of Twitter, and when they try to explain to him it's physically impossible he shoots them all blows off his own hand because Tesla made the gun.

"News" articles uncritically praising Musk & Tesla = integrity personified
Anything remotely critical of Musk or Tesla = corrupt, fake news

Besides that why would any automotive brand advertise on Twitter when Musk boosts any Tesla praising post?

Elon heard you saying he couldn't get more pathetic and decided to prove you wrong! He's now trying to draw people to ads by reply-guying with his patented meme-power and driving up engagement. Press the heart!

…this suddenly makes sense now. He’s not trying to drive up engagement, he just reread his own tweet and realized as a “creator,” he would get to share in the profits for ads in his reply threads. And what’s an easier way to get ads in your reply thread than by replying to them yourself? :aaaaa:

I was reading reddit and someone posted a comment comparing an out-of-touch Youtuber to Elon.
It was a simple one sentence comment and the replies they got from elonstans were so hyper aggressive they were bordering on parody. Multiple paragraphs written defending his honor.

What the gently caress is wrong with these weirdos? It's very cult like behaviour.

They want to be a billionaire tech bro nothing more. And if Elon Musk isn't the person they envisioned and talked up so goddamn much then apparently there is no good tech bro billionaire in the world and their dream is forever crushed because for some reason they think they will somehow become a billionaire starting with no wealth and without the ruthlessness and luck it takes to get to that level.

I'd say that there is a high probability that very little though has been given to how this will work in practice. I'm pretty sure most employees at Twitter find out about Elon's promises about new features or rule changes with the same tweets as the rest of us.

At most, Elon will probably just pop by some random office on Monday and go "You guys are in charge of paying creators their share of ad revenue." to the dozen or so people working there before moving on to his next idea. Let them worry about the unimportant details like figuring out how much to send and where to send it. "Just figure something out, but make it fast. I told Catturd that he could expect his first payment in a week or two."
