What's he going to do when he's not the CEO and can't just overrule everyone else's business decisions?

Oh right, order the CEO to do what he tells her or get fired. Of course.

Elon pretty clearly only bought Twitter to completely kill it, right? I'm assuming he can pull some rich guy shenanigans to escape any financial consequences

^ no no, he think he's good at business and making Twitter some visionary "public square" (he refers to it constantly like it's loving Athens or something, it's beyond cringe)

hyper cynical take : musk had a lawyer sit down with him for the pronoun thing.

semi tinhat take : lawyer also has soft terrorism receipts of bird DM and says if musk lets anything happen there will be consequences.

Elon Musk is just a dumb nazi. He bought Twitter cause a bunch of other dumb Nazis convinced him it would be great so they could all just post dumb Nazi stuff and own the libs.

As it turns out, dumb Nazis are, in fact, dumb. Which is why Elon has done a bunch of dumb things with Twitter. Cause he is a dumb Nazi.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I don't know if I imagined this or heard it from someone else, but there was a speculation that Elon had a goal of getting the government to contract out Twitter as a federal communication system to replace/supplement more established services.

It seems crazy, but I could also see someone trying to make it work as a money making model.

As a reminder (and he did this again just recently), he keeps posting and reposting that video showing all the coordination that went on between all the Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned stations, and acting like they're all different videos showing proof of legacy media/mainstream media/liberal media/etc. behind in cahoots with one another pushing the same narratives. Because he's stupid. His critical thinking skills are genuinely piss-poor.

Did that speculation come from Elon? I can 100% see him pushing such an idea since Twitter is the greatest communication website/app in the world in his broken brain.

This isn’t elom, but with all the AI obsession of him and his chud army, it still somehow feels thread relevant:

https://twitter.com/armanddoma/status/1664331870564147200?s=46&t=gBwwYH66NlEwfgt7cOZWEg

An AI in simulations decided that the human operator deciding on whether to authorise a kill shot was holding it back, and that the only solution was to kill the operator. So they programmed it to lose points by doing so, and the AI takes out the communication towers denying it that killshot.

What if Skynet, but dumb.

Oh, i doubt he's actually listening intently to the video the whole way through every time. I think he just listens to a little bit, sees some media people saying the same thing, then rushes to post it again.

Why is he replying to his own company tweet like he doesn't know?
