lmao they are so obsessed with vanity metrics

views are meaningless, especially since I’m sure they aren’t being reported correctly

I wonder how much money tucker earned off of those views... what's that, none? there is still no revenue share from twitter? weird

So see the guy who sold twitter to an idiot for 44b dollars, started a new company to gently caress the idiot over even more. And maybe sell it to him again for 44 more billions.

Yeah, and playing Drug Wars

Was that the game you could play on a TI-83? Some kid in Sec V had that, good way to kill time.

Local HS in late 90s also taught QBasic for computer science. I hosed around and never really learned what subroutines were, and mashed together an unholy code with 2300+ lines to make a horse betting simulation. Got top marks but weirdly the vice-principal chastised me for promoting gambling lol.

Anyways,

What's more likely: Elon is eventually humbled and just washes his hands of Twitter, or Elon continues to double-down and starts handing off Tesla/Space-X responsibilities. I know the former is seemingly impossible, but his pathetic fixation with social media garbage will inevitably undermine his influence and impact elsewhere yeah?

oh I don't know if I posted it in this in one of the old musk threads but here's some gossip that will not shock anyone:
tesla's management is completely dysfunctional.

Being a little vague here to avoid revealing info that can track this back to my friend, but
I know someone who works for a company that supplies something to Tesla. A bit ago this supplier was blamed for something that couldn't be their fault -akin to 'the rubber on the windshield wiper is why our batteries have been exploding! We demand you prove the negative or we'll kill the contract'

Tesla wanted full SOP review and the right to modify all of their supplier's policies and conduct audits of the supplier's facility that went way beyond industry standard and otherwise acted like the biggest fish in the pond.
Part of getting this solved included multiple meetings with Tesla management, and in every loving meeting the tesla folks were constantly sniping eachother. Just constant bickering. They were a big enough contract the company had to at least humor them, but not big enough that the threats actually got them anything.
Unsurprisingly no one in any of the meetings had worked for another automotive company, so didn't know how the industry does QC.

Tucker Carlson tweeted Olivia Rodrigo's "Traitor" and Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" while complaining about "fake friends" late into the night.

If it wasn't for @ElonMusk, the tyrants at Old Twitter could have very well suspended Carlson's account or DMCA'd the videos, keeping us from knowing how not mad he is. By cutting the moderation team to shreds, he can be assured his voice will be heard on New Twitter.
