I shoulda sold my TSLA shares when I had the chance. :) Down almost 68% YTD.

Trump won't tweet so he's picking up the slack, I guess.

He lasted a hair under three Mooches, for the people keeping score at home.

Gee, who could've foreseen this?

57.5% to 42.5% would be considered a landslide in any election, certainly any modern election. What evidence do you have that the results were manipulated and how do you square this belief with Elon's claim to have dealt with the bots?

With such stunningly intellectual tweets as "Interesting" and "Wow" it's really no wonder he's managed to establish such a powerful cult of personality.

Tesla used to be the only game in town. That's no longer the case, and it seems like it's been easier for luxury brands to figure out electrification than for Tesla to figure out luxury. They still have a lot of mindshare but what

I predict one of two outcomes: 1) He will claim that the poll was manipulated by bots and thus he doesn't have to respect the result. 2) He will step down and appoint a prominent far-right personality as Twitter's new CEO, in keep

Hi, Mr. Musk? I'm here to deliver the attention you ordered.

Anyone want to take bets on how long it'll be before Twitter prohibits listing your pronouns in your bio? Elon has a real axe to grind about pronouns and it'd be an effective way to antagonize people he doesn't like for no re

Elon Musk is a deeply unserious person so it should come as little surprise that he attracts unserious discussion.

If by "a while" you mean the past handful of days, then yes. To suggest that this has been an unspoken policy for years is simply wrong and misleading.

It's never been about free speech.

by faefox 4y ago
There's nothing "moderately right-of-center" about the people and messages Elon has been amplifying and to suggest otherwise only embarrasses yourself.

If only he'd donated to the GOP, he could've scored a preemptive Trump pardon!

No kidding. I never registered my copy of mIRC as a kid (sorry Khaled!) but in hindsight it would've been one of the sounder financial decisions I could've made in grade school.

Dude's been maintaining an IRC client for more than a quarter of a century. It seems reasonable to believe that he will be responsive to these emails for as long as having a license continues to be meaningful (in the sense of access to

RIP Dean Allen. :(

If you've been using mIRC with a lifetime license since 1995 you've paid roughly $.74 a year for the privilege. I'm sympathetic to the developer here.

Is he going to reimburse employees for these last-minute flights to SF? Also, I thought the offices were closed until Monday?

Twitter confirmed that it was an "official company communication." Seems like a pretty open-and-shut case if he tries to renege on the offer.

Elon has made it abundantly clear what he thinks of these people and their work. Why would anyone stick around to help bail him out? Let it burn.

The engineer who was summarily terminated after publicly pushing back on Elon's tweets about app performance responded to the news that he had been fired (also via tweet) with the salute emoji. Seems like it's become a meme among

I guess we just remember things differently. For sure there was a lot of disbelief around the internet when Elon made his original offer because who in their right mind would pay that much money for Twitter? But once it became clear that th

> Elon will never get past this one! (seriously, go back in the archives and take a look at some of those threads, the self-assured self-righteous agreement that the deal would never happen is pretty crazy to look back on now.) I mean...

He keeps firing even the engineering staff that survived the first wave of layoffs. It seems like a stretch on his part to think that those left (who, again, just watched a ton of their colleagues/friends be laid off or summarily termi

I'm a heavy Twitter user and it's sad to watch it CFIT in real-time but I hope everyone with the option to do so takes the severance and gets out of there.

The purge continues. At least if we all know one thing it's that the most successful way to run a company is to instill a culture of fear and to surround yourself with sycophants.
