Yeah, the script wrote itself. You simply can't make this stuff up.

It would be cool if he fixes ESPN sports streaming. I subscribed to watch some college sports. The content is there but impossible to find. The UI is beyond awful, it's incomprehensible.

Diversify. Not everyone is a fan of Marvel. But I would happily watch a new episode of Silicon Valley or Friends level show every day. I wish Mike Judge made a show about FTX and crypto. :) that would be hilarious.

It must be more expensive for a reason, right?

So it's purely paperwork/legal barriers that hold them back? Otherwise they would have left?

Have they ever tried to emigrate? And if yes, why are they still there?

Haha, that makes sense. If it's true, a good move for Musk would be to pin Trump's last tweets to the home page. :)

You are probably right. Still, it's not just negotiating and signing a burdensome deal for Musk, but going as far as SUING him into honoring it, that makes their intent obvious (purely monetary reward, no regard for the employees nor t

He surely did. But then who pushed him (along with the company) into that hole? :)

By the way, thanks for pointing this out. With all this craziness around Musk's ventures and Twitter, my BS detector has become totally blinded. Hadn't I posted this comment and then had been corrected, I would have still believed

He signed the contract in a totally different market environment. Twitter's board knew this but still proceeded to sue him nonetheless. Did they understand the consequences for the company and the employees? Sure they did but went on a

My bad! I I stand corrected.

Didn't they sue him into shelling out $44 billion?

I am not saying this is a winning strategy. Only that's the only reasonable strategy to have a shot on winning.

Right, he seems to be 100% opportunistic.

by karp773 4y ago
One more thing, which may be controversial here on HN, but which I think is nonetheless correct, is that Musk has been effectively cornered by the previous Twitter board. He has no other choice but to count every penny and squeeze the maxim

Edit: the estimates were way off!

> It would just be a lousy sequel rehashing the same crap over and over again. Exactly this. This was the whole point of Musk's Trump survey and so on, to keep the Trump saga on Twitter going.

To be honest, it's a surprise for me. Because in order to win, Trump needs to broaden his audience. What's the point of limiting himself to only his supporters on truth? They are his hardcore supporters anyway. It’s like preaching

I would not say imminent but it has increased considerably as Trump seemed to be one of the main bets of Musk to increase (double?) engagement.

I would argue quite the opposite. In the world of nonsense and misinformation, competent and insightful sources become of supreme importance. In a sense, we find ourselves back in pre-Gutenberg times. The elite has access to the insider sou

What about fatherhood to discuss? It's an important topic but broad too.

That's a problem but it's Russia's problem, not ours. For the US and Europe, every month of the campaign in Ukraine, every month of utilizing Russian equipment and personnel, buys at least a year of peace for the whole Europe

Good observation about positive directness vs negative indirectness! I agree 100%.
