Clarste posted:He honestly believes that he will be vindicated by history and that even if he ends up losing money that he won't make back he will be remembered as a pioneer. The "loses all his money" part is extremely likely at this point. "Vindicated by history", much less so, even if there is a history to look back on in 100 years time.

"It's ironic that literally a year after Lowtax repainted his ceiling with his brains we would be blessed by an internet comedy meltdown that Lowtax would have made amazing hay out of." Like gently caress Lowtax, the utter piece of poo poo that he was, but still... There's a phrase I'm often reminded of, "I'm not afraid to die, I'm sad that I won't be able to see what happens next." This week was one of those "what happens next" weeks.

Communist Zombie posted:It just keeps getting better and better... So he's come full circle on his entire career: just make PayPal again. Appropriate, seeing as how it was the only thing he actually made himself (and his actual role in it is debatable between how much of it was Peter Thiel and the rest of their team's work), so of course he'd default to that. E: A quick Wikipedia dive tells me that Musk did not in fact have anything to do with the creation of PayPal, he merged his lovely e-bank, X.com (which he also didn't create, but merely funded with his blood emerald money and claimed ownership of) with PayPal at Thiel's urging. Musk and Thiel are the only ones anyone remembers because they're massive ego'd assholes. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Nov 11, 2022 |

Elon Musk has literally payed various exorbitant amounts of money to convince people he's invented various things and/or founded various companies when all he's really done his entire life is just pay money to associate his name with increasingly more profitable business ventures... and Twitter. That is literally his only life skill: spending money he was already born with on things.

The man hasn't invented a thing in his life except new ways to spend money on stuff. And 3) isn't this the blog that did a full-court press to try and cover up and disprove the fact that Telsas ran over children on auto-pilot, right up to putting out as "I require one (1) live human child for a live fire experiment, you will be compensated if your child/children do not survive." request that got laughed off the internet.

Electric Phantasm posted:So what would Twitter imploding realistically look like? Just the website disappearing into the ether with no warning? That's the interesting thing: we don't really know. This has kind of never happened before. We've never really seen a communal space of this size and and scope falter so rapidly to the point where it's literally hard to predict when and how it will break and what the fallout will be. Will it go all at once and just never come back? Will it hobble along, slowly sloughing off functionality after functionality until it takes like 15 minutes to just load one tweet and people abandon it in waves? It could also somehow soldier on for years, diminished and irrelevant yet still used by a collection of desperate weirdos who failed to migrate elsewhere, like SA is doing. We'll find out eventually though.

haveblue posted:Pop quiz: Of all the things that have been removed from Twitter recently, which do you think is the first that should be restored as part of a recovery plan? I mean that was literally what he spent that $44 billion to do: unban the Babylon Bee. The Bee getting banned for being a source of transphobic horse poo poo was THE inciting incident for his Twitter buy, so I'm actually kind of surprised it's taken him this long to break the shackles around his favorite outlet for all the frustration he's working through because his wife left him for a trans woman and took his kids away from him.

Basically at this point, Elon Musk is 100% following Donald Trump's playbook of trusting whatever the last person who talked to him at any given moment has said as gospel truth and then acting on it, no matter how bonkers it was, only in this case the "last person in the room" with Musk isn't some duplicitous, self-serving functionary remora, it's literally whoever the gently caress @'d him last. His brain is an empty cup with no thoughts but whatever the last person he's interacted with has pissed into it.

The only place the analogy breaks down is that B.O.Y.D. turned out to be a normal person after being raised by his actual parent, meanwhile X Ć A-12's hosed either way because his mother is Grimes
