While you're all laughing at the bird site you're missing this beauty:

He's not making Teslas for the UK market anymore, so instead we get "The Reacher" - an over engineered rubbish picker, for grabbing car park tickets you can't reach from the driver's seat...

Good luck not dropping your bank card as you try to pay for parking. Can't wait to be stuck behind these fuckers trying to exit a car park

This makes me genuinely worried that none of the US tech bros working on AI driving are considering how to handle driving on the other side of the road. I expect they won't think about this issue until a Tesla in the UK immediately switches lanes and smashes into oncoming traffic.

it doesnt bypass rate limit for me - you can get the timeline to work with some refreshing but people's profiles dont load. but maybe its because i already hit rate limit on regular twitter.

also fox news had a segment where they compared elon to xi jinping for this tonight so maybe that'll get him to fix it

Can’t believe it’s been a whole rear end weekend and you still can’t use Twitter without logging in lmao. Or that we still have no idea if it’s intentional or the site is just broken beyond repair. Both are equally plausible and funny

The stupidity of everything since his first “joke” post about buying the company is a bottomless pit without terminal velocity. Just keeps getting dumber, faster. If Twitter makes it another month maybe we’ll find out what happens when dumb passes the speed of light

Asgerd posted:

How long before he announces that breaking twitter was all a deliberate puppetmaster to own the libs?

As soon as his fragile narcissistic ego is bruised enough by his failures and he can't detach or pawn the failure of twitter off onto someone else, most likely.

He's already taking the first steps at that with appointing a CEO. After that comes one of the steps in assigning blame on an accomplice or someone else by claiming it's all their fault, it was liberal sabotage and he's a genius, etc, etc before the likelihood of him going full puppet master defense to salvage what's left of his broken self image. If that doesn't work and he feels like the loser stink is on him too hard to worm his way out of expect a lashing out. From there, it depends on if he gets any excuses handed to him to avoid admitting failure.

People like him are weasels when it comes to taking responsibility and tend to have multiple stages before they claim they intended to gently caress up all along as that tends to be an admission of failure in of itself.

The right wing disruptors and bigots will laugh and nod as if they were smart enough to realize this and weren't there to hurt as many people as they could as part of their batshit ideology.

As an addendum to my above post above: Where it's possible it'll get wild is if it somehow manages to get that far (He's left himself a bunch of outs to claim it isn't his fault to his horde of right wing bots and mindless sycophants) and he ends up getting tarred and feathered afterwards in the public and business sphere anyways for claiming to deliberately ruin a major social media site that has been integral to covering revolutions and authoritarian abuse in the past.

He'll loving lose it even harder if that happens. And honestly i'm not sure how much farther this malicious bigoted jackass has to go before he goes the Lowtax route or just goes full fash so hard that even the moderates can't ignore it anymore.

He's had a pretty good cushion though in the form of fake affirmation from people who'd drop him like a turd as soon as he's not useful in their breaking down society and justice . Lowtax never had that, and the forum was honestly pretty quick to call him out on his bullshit when it became apparent what sort of guy he was.

The assholes following him would applaud him even if he turned out to be a sex pest or something. For a lot of them it's all about a cynical exploitation to try to hurt other weaker people much in the same way they'll fanatically support the latest major Fox News star anchor up until he is taken offline after he becomes too much of a liability. Then there's the idiots that refuse to see what's in front of them (a vanishingly smaller group every month). Finally, there's the botnets that suspiciously always pivot to support his latest get rich quick scheme. It's part of why i'm convinced he pays for the botnets that defend him so viciously when combined with how he's used it to try and manipulate (sometimes illegally) the valuation of companies and crypto in the past.

Dude has a fairly comprehensive circle jerk setup going on that Lowtax never had. It's basically a narcissists dream supply that is almost on par with Trump's, albeit not as expansive.
