And it is my experience that great engineers will only work for a great engineer, and so I — that is what I — that is my first duty, not that of CEO."
He's so in charge that middle management has to give him stuff to look at to keep him from firing critical personnel.
musk comes in and writes on a whiteboard "IDEA: rocket should go UP", underlines the last word 4 times as his inner circle all nods and fawns over how brilliant that idea is, then goes back to arguing with nobody on twitter
He's said before that to learn anything you just need to read a book. And that's what he did with rocket science. He just read a book on rockets, and then knew everything about rocket science. Pretty sure that's almost an exact quote.

this sounds positively delightful to database engineers, but i'm also looking forward to see how deranged people get after this
"It's sooo alive! Don't let the loss of revenue and layoffs and code fails and fly-by-wire policy making fool you. The VIEWS will prove this is a stable company."
yeah sure keep firing the people who tell you when something you want to do is illegal
Textbook example of the "he's a dumb guy's idea of what a smart guy is". What makes it funnier is that Elon also truly believes that himself, he's his own biggest fanboy and anyone who tries to counter him is an enemy just trying to bring him down. He's not open to learning anything new, or taking an expert's word on something, because as far as he knows he already has all the knowledge of every subject contained in his massive brain. Everyone else is wrong
Good thread on why Elon is dumb
Surely Elon unbanning more neo-Nazis and spouting QAnon conspiracy theories will just bring advertisers running back in droves
just thinkin about this guy running 5 companies while fathering a dozen kids, fat rolling around with two shields equipped
Pretty good substack article on Elon and other idiot kings

"They always believe that they alone are worthy. They never have a backup plan, because they have always prided themselves on “being good when the going gets tough.”
Yet they will always be deeply vulnerable to their own failures. They will always make mistakes, because they don’t believe they’ve ever made one. And when they start losing, they lack the capability to stop the world from falling down around them, because that starts at a point of introspection they’ve never had to reach."
So this poll counts, but the one telling him to fuck off with a magnitude more voters is bullshit, huh?
I can't believe Elonk would let AssasinationCoordinates.com advertise on his assassination coordinates-free website
getting advertisements for Blue now and I really can’t see how this is appealing to anyone
lmao “quality conversations” ok
These are the sorts of "quality conversations" twitter blue subscribers are providing
looks like Parler
Love that there's still so many people who are convinced he's going to use space travel and electric vehicles to help save humanity, when meanwhile he genuinely believes that the biggest threats out there are that not enough white babies are being born and that folks like thirdreichfan88 can't freely tweet out racial slurs whenever they want.
“likes are more important than retweets” might be the most fucked up understanding of Twitter musk has demonstrated yet
the move fast and break things transformation to Facebook is now in motion
Of course he's madder than he's ever been. This is the first time anybody has ever told musk he's wrong in his life
The mask has driven into the back of a fire truck
grimes banging chelsea utterly destroyed elon's brain jesus christ
"i don't hate them, i just will defend to the death my own right to say how much i hate them and how they should all be rounded up into camps and killed"
And again, he did recently follow Rowling on Twitter, so let there be no confusion as to the motive there.
he tweeted this and got a search ban within 20 minutes. his name doesn't even appear in the search listings if you type his username. he has 1.2 million followers
tell me about your instagram likes and follows without saying it
I can’t tell if he’s talking about the like count or the page that lets us see which nazis elon is liking recently. either one is lol
accessibility support is exactly the kind of thing that “hardcore” “hackers” who like to bro down and crush code would see as stupid woke garbage but is actually super important and makes your product better overall
elon and his heritage really bringing "dutch-built" as a synonym for shoddy work back to the fore
what is the boring company doing that requires that guy to live at work
https://www.theinformation.com/articles/musk-may-have-found-a-hardcore-leader-for-twitter
he recognized that the tool in question was getting in way of his goal of maximizing trans kid suicides
Musk isn't even a bottom-tier poster, he's not even a fishmech
looks like privacy and data protection laws are just a few of the ones musk doesn't think will be enforced meaningfully

Yes, that screen cap is real. Totally normal CEO thing to talk about unplugging random servers at 4am on Xmas Eve morning, on a Saturday.
lol he's literally muntzing a giant multinational machine
if there was any question as to whether Musk was kicked out of PayPal for wanting to move everything to Windows, let this be effective confirmation. He was never good at any of this, he just had some good PR for a bit.
lol he spent the whole holiday being bitter and vindictive about his ex and also his kid that hates him
a christmas carol but visited by jeff epstein, somebody who burned to death in a model 3, and lowtax
This is how we know that twitter is still in the fast lane to bankruptcy
@monotrox99 it used to be used to hide replies that were full of swears or rude or from some recently suspended or newly created account, a very basic attempt to sweep some of the general ugliness of twitter under a rug, elon's master plan was to hide basically ALL replies not made by subscribers behind that curtain, and as you can see it's going swimmingly
