Okay seriously what is the idea behind X being a payments thing? Is there a theoretical purpose for this or is it really just because he's trying to make a new PayPal? I can't figure out what the supposed use would be for X being a payment platform. I know these are questions that have no answer because X is just whatever Musk and his sycophants want it to be on any given day but I have no idea why people keep talking about X being a revolution in payments or whatever. And I assume neither do they.

As others have said, he's trying to copy WeChat but his Twitter couldn't even handle a loving radio broadcast for Ron DeSantis, so good luck having folks trusting him with their banking information.

The Saddest Rhino posted:He's harbouring a decades long grudge because Peter thiel wouldn't let him rename PayPal as x yeah its basically this ^ https://every.to/p/twitter-s-future-is-a-return-to-elon-musk-s-past thiel and some other dude ousted him because he was a dumbass and his vision for X (paypal) to be a "global financial nexus" was gong to bankrupt them, and they wanted paypal to become what it actually did in the end. and it was very successful once they booted him, so musk is still trying to prove that his X.com vision was the real genius idea. the internet is very different these days so it's slightly modified to do everything people do with the internet now (like others have said, basically a wechat ripoff). but the paypal thing is definitely why he's so desperate to pivot the new X.com into finance and banking.

WeChat’s special “thing” is that it’s a complex chat app where you can send money to anyone and do all sorts of commerce. This is what the tech bros mean when they say an “everything” app. Though the size and influence of the app has nothing to do with the feature set, but of course Elon is incapable of even making sense of the feature set alone. He plays with his action figures thinking he’s releasing a Marvel movie every Thursday.

Thanks all, I had no idea about WeChat. Makes sense that he desperately wants to copy someone else's idea while pitching it as a revolutionary new thing that only he can make happen.

I love this image. That 20 hours of Miscellaneous stuff like travel and exercise that normal people do but don't get paid for? That's CEO work baby! Also puts them back into like 35 hours a week. Take out the 5 business meals, where its just a god damned paid lunch break and CEOs work 30 hours a week. gently caress off WSJ. Edit: Elon must work 90 hours a week if you include time for delightful fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Aug 2, 2023 |

There's actually something to the stereotype of american men from the early 20th century as being big and burly. In the 1910s and 1940s the first exposure to a lot of people in europe was large groups of young americans who, unlike them, were NOT coming off of several years of food rationing and blockades. The average late teens/early 20s GI would be taller and heavier than their european counterpart. That all normalized once people started eating normally, because of course this was a result of differences in nutrition and not culture.

holtemon posted:Hell yeah I love Executive Time™ For sure there are executives who work less than their employees, but I have more experience with executives whose whole identity is their job who do legitimately work 60-80 hour weeks because the sociopathy and single-mindedness that brought them to the top also alienated their social contacts and made them fail to develop hobbies or non-work personalities. This isn’t a defence of workaholic executives: working for them sucks, and is arguably worse than working for the exec who leaves early for a round of golf. But my guess is the workaholic type is actually more common than the barely working CEO.

With the rebrand, Instead of tweets they should be called Marks. Because X marks the spot. Then you can remark instead of retweet. I've now thought more in depth about this rebrand than Elon.

Being online or in the office 60-80 hours per week isn't the same as actually working 60-80 hours per week.
