What's Elon Musk up to today…
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
And they’re hailing it a success because it didn’t explode on the launch padThe exploding rocket the other day cost $3 billion apparently.
Musk managed to turn the Twitter verification system from a flawed but useful tool into a joke that only the most slavish Musk stans want.
Twitter will continue to lose advertising and a balanced usership as it becomes more and more like Truth Social.
Tech is great but tech bros like Musk really don't understand how people want to interact with these systems.

Classic case of someone who believed they could run something better, but really didn't think things through. He doesn't contemplate the knock-on effects of the changes he's making, the changes he probably comes up with during his morning crap.
Shame he didn't follow through on one of his first polls which was whether he should get a CEO for Twitter and stop being involved in the day to day. There's room for an alternative to Twitter, but there is clear front runner yet.
Jack Dorsey's Bluesky is on the Google Play store now but you need an invite to use it.
Dorsey was for the Musk acquisition at the time but unsurprisingly is not impressed with the way Musk is tanking Twitter.
You can see in six months Twitter will just be the alt-right and Musk simps giggling over Elon's latest dad joke or recycled meme.

The problem is, is that he has heaps supporters who blindly believe anyrhing he does is magical. Just because you are good at one thing doesn't mean you are automatically good at other things.
What is this thing that he is super good at?
I saw him in a movie once, and he was utter trash, so can't be acting...
indeed, but the tech heads are saying it's because he didn't pay his Google Cloud bills so now his servers are under severe load stress - the "data scraping" nonsense is just an excuse. Or just that he sacked too many engineers and now the tech debt is kicking in.
So likely it's a terrible business decision made to cover up previous very bad technical and business decisions.
Either way, I'm here for it
He is, but it's all tied up in Tesla shares. Some SpaceX shares. A bit of Boring Company shares.
When he took over Twitter he stopped paying for services, stopped paying rent, stopped paying people. Working on the Trump principle that his lawyers or his perfect negotiation skills will get him out of it.
Not sure where Twitter will finish up. There's no real alternative right now but as soon as there is one I reckon Twitter will go the way of MySpace.
For such a rich genius, he seems to make stupid decision after stupid decision
