I know the real answer is because he's unfathomably stupid but why would you want to kill an established and readily recognizable brand and replace it with something that's confusing and far more abstract which also has a lot of you know real life uses. The app formerly known as twitter is almost certainly gonna keep bleeding advertisers and users both and be kept animate solely by the most hardcore addicts, which probably doesn't bode well for its future. Oh well, who cares, Elon has finally become funny and I'm finally invested

https://www.disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wants-to-relive-his-start got at least one thing right: the lesson that the fucker took away from working in banking and then paypal was that established business practice is fundamentally stupid and can easily be disrupted by upstarts that break the rules. his subsequent investments' success have reinforced this.

he seems to have missed that these were all predicated on going all in on some new technological advantage, which twitter had when it started, but absolutely does not have now. but hey, hubris vov

comparatively, @jack did learn the disruptive new tech lesson and is now trying to go ham on cryptographic validity of authorship, missing an entirely different set of lessons!

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

He Irresponsible Captain Tyler'd* himself into being CEO of two groundbreaking and incredibly successful companies, in one case by attracting a bunch of rocket geniuses and handing them infinite money, in the other by buying a controlling stake in a well managed startup.

That makes him forget that he, personally, dumb as gently caress, and knows exactly dick about poo poo. Every time he talks about something technical, people that know something tear it to bits. It's a well known fact that people who work for him distract him with bright shiny projects while they continue to make the existing ones successful.

But he's gaslit himself into thinking that he's a super genius special boy, and anything he touches will turn to gold.

*apparent moron becomes wildly successful, whether by a deep seated competency or by sheer luck, is wildly successful, the answer vis-a-vis competency, is left up to the viewer.

I am being 100% sincere. The entire interrogation video is on youtube. They got his cell data and he admitted he was reading an email about a joe biden conspiracy theory when he hit the guy. He claimed that there was no way he could have seen him when the dude was walking with a flashlight in his hand. He said he thought it was a deer and that the body slid off the hood of his car and down the ditch. That was a lie that the police called him on because the dead man's glasses were in his floorboard. He was driving after drinking and was reading email on his phone, killed a guy, pulled his body off of his car and threw it in a ditch, called the sheriff, and took the sheriff's car home. They didn't "find" the body for more than a day.

He was given a slap on the wrist.

Killing someone with your car is basically legal in the US. Just keep a mangled bike in the trunk to throw on the body for added effect and even if you catch charges you'll probably walk.

Yeah, I remembered this much, but the email was news to me. Jesus.

Although here in Texas our Lieutenant Governor would probably call the dead guy a crisis actor and give the driver a medal for staying focused on important affairs of state (Hunter Biden's dong)

e: our AG is also under indictment for multiple felonies and was fully protected until he asked the legislature to pay some hush money on his behalf, so more samesies

Kids, it's not cool to have Shane MacGowan teeth
The Chinese Foreign minister and former Ambassador to the US, Qin Gang, appears to have evaporated. He hasn't been seen in public for almost a month and has had all his meetings cancelled, with the Foreign Ministry providing some vague health concerns as the reason.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-66125055

Speculation appears to be centering on some kind of affair or personal indescretion, but that doesn't seem to be a likely reason for somebody quite as high-profile as he is to disappear. Pure speculation on my part, but my read of Qin Gang is that he's more interested in constructive engagement with other countries than the Wang Yi style of pure pressure. If that's actually true, then this could be Wang Yi reasserting more control over the Foreign Ministry which would in turn be a bad signal for the nascent discussions between US and China.

Holy cow, wonder if the state law enforcement was mad at him & wanted him out. Kinda related, when the Gonzaga basketball coach got caught for DUI it was across state lines in Idaho. Wondering how many times previously he got pulled over in Spokane & was allowed to call his wife to pick him up. Like how decades previously the president of Gonzaga was allowed to leave town rather than be investigated for what he’d been doing to teens.

If the rumors are true it’s not just “an affair”, it’s an affair with a TV reporter who then had his child as an anchor baby in the US while traveling back and forth solo in a private jet and staying in a lux mansion in California, neither of which would seem affordable on a (non-corrupt) state minister’s salary.

The optics of China’s foreign minister having an illegitimate US citizen child seems like it would be enough by itself to sink him, let alone the potential security/leverage implications in a paranoid state like Xi’s China.

E: also she apparently traveled to give birth in the spring of 2022, which (again, if true) raises the interesting question of whether US intelligence has already known about all of this for the past year and a half
