it's germanic. it pleases me when the tech gods fight. i'm just a mere mortal watching lightning bolts being hurled back and forth in valhalla as big cracks and booms ring out and billions of dollars in valuation go flying off. musk coveted twitter's power and wanted a monopoly of attention, and it was the height of hypocrisy to ever claim he wanted less censorship, yet he accelerated a fragmentation of social media into some kind of neo-feudal structure which diminishes him too.

Happens like clockwork. Tucker, Glen Beck, O’Riley. They all get massive heads thinking it’s them making Fox what it is and not Fox and it’s political connections deciding on their next propaganda mouth piece

There was a brief period where everyone was going 'omg what is this amazing angelic like music!?!' with her first few songs.
And I will admit, I thought they were great too.
But shes a one hit wonder really, nothing amazing or distinctive released since, even after gently caress knows how many producers, writers, etc Musk has paid to get her big.

It might have helped if he spent literally any of his millions of dollars on staff like what he had on his old show to make his production values competitive with the other grifters.

Kinda, they were usually less weird about it? This could just be because social media didn’t exist the same way it does today though.

edit: Actually I think he probably still wouldn’t have as weird of fans because he didn’t post his entire life on Twitter and I don’t think he would have.

yes but Jobs wasn't awful in all the same ways Elon is awful, for better or worse Jobs' products worked as intended with a design and operating aesthetic that a lot of people preferred to the alternatives so we didn't have the bizarre situation of a billionaire loving up constantly and nerds throwing themselves at critics as human shields

Jobs was lovely to his family, like Elon, and he could be really lovely to his workers, like Elon - Jobs, Gates and the Google Boys had an unwritten rule that if someone left one of their companies of their own volition the others would not hire them and Jobs was the most strident about it - and Jobs was callous about working conditions and labor rights as long as he got his manufacturing done on time, which is the same for Elon except Elon never gets anything built on time

the biggest strikes against Elon - putting peoples' lives at risk for ease of testing, tanking billions to satisfy personal grudges, trying to make himself the world's center of attention, cozying up to neonazis because they're paradoxically the most welcoming, insulating faction on the internet as long as you espouse the right beliefs - those couldn't be laid at Jobs' feet

edit: to be fair, Jobs promoted alternative healing for cancers whilst maneuvering himself to the front of organ donor lists, which is reprehensible

it's different when your hero is posting where you post and might even respond to you. that leads to people like this, or the guy crying about being blocked. they're like teenagers that convince themselves they're dating someone in their heads, meanwhile the object of their obsession has no idea.

like even when musk does reply to people it isn't like he's actually acknowledging them, they're just tools to feed his narcissism

Why do people post like this? Even if you are deluded enough to think Musk is a genius, what level of brain damage gets you to posting cyborg fanfic of him.

Yeah Elon is one of the successors to Jobs but worse and more stupid because at least Jobs didn't constantly blunder in and gently caress up all the efforts of engineering and manufacturing of the company he ran so the products all generally worked

The one saving grace of him as a boss I guess

Jobs ran Apple into the ground once but was able to come back later and turn it into a juggernaut

I can't see Elon turning things around for the better at any of his companies, or learning from even one solitary mistake
