I appreciate your patience, this is a tricky maneuver
Imagine devoting your entire life, your fortune, and your ego to being king of twitter and then having someone just smash your teeth on with a tweet. Marvelous.

No doubt.

Elon didn't know who the guy was. He thought it was a troll, like the Ligma and Johnson thing. When Halli said Figma, Elon 100% thought he caught the troll.

When he finally realized he hosed up, he doubled down as hard as possible.

Let's get drunk and kiss each other all night.
The aggravating thing is that despite being the stupidest rear end in a top hat online he still won’t face any real repercussions and the people he wronged (like this dude) will have to expend a lot of effort to see any kind of justice or recompense whatsoever (and it will still not be enough).

I hope he gets some kind of real reckoning soon like exploded in a cybertruck or rear end cancer.

And all his replyguys are cheering like the frothing-at-the-mouth guy from Avatar, and swarming to attack the guy and beat him into a pulp along with anyone else who boosts him.

Musk spent billions of dollars so he could be Twitter's permanent main character. And like with almost everything else, this man actually had no clue what that actually entailed.

Whoever is left in Twitter's legal and HR departments is probably reaching for the bottom-drawer whisky right now and praying Elon doesn't treble-down.

Yes if he was working for Google or Apple or Amazon or Microsoft. You know, companies that are trying to make stuff and have an actual competence and reason not to fire people on a "Do Not Fire" list.

Musk is going to run this company into the ground such that this guy will never see any money from it.

I'm curious to see if he's going to try and quietly delete these tweets later like he's done so many other times, or if he's going to triple or quadruple down.

My favourite thing was getting to the bottom of that thread, seeing the box for 'show additional replies that may contain offensive content' and its literally 1 tweet saying 'Elon is so dumb'.

Going and quietly deleting would be so pointless at this stage with how far it's already spread, so yeah quite possible he'll try it.

This is probably the most likely though. Dude just loves being an rear end in a top hat.

I really want to see Twitter's balance sheet because all those terminations cost money and require time to pay out in savings, but all the non-renewal of ad contracts is an immediate loss of revenue. Any cash on hand at the time of the merger would have been raided to pay for the acquisition. Financially Twitter must be running on fumes.

gently caress, of course this is probably what happened.

I wonder if musk had behaved differently if the first reply to "what did you do here" was "my contract says that if I ever get terminated my severance package is $100 million so gently caress you it doesnt matter what I did, what matters if I am fired or not"
