He's not getting as much attention because he's only crypto famous. People who aren't into crypto havent heard of him before and we are pretty used to seeing headlines about these crypto investors scamming each other.

I'd "stay" if I depended on Twitter for a visa until I can get the next job lined up. That's probably what's going on for many of the ones who aren't leaving

Although I've never seen this picked apart so thoroughly, he gets called out often on this and other lies, but his always-escalating exciting announcements of imminent future progress get more attention.

I hate this use of "no BS" or "brutally honest" being applied to people who lie way more than normal just because they aren't trying to be pleasant or politically correct. Niceness and truth are orthogonal. For some

I doubt it will spread in the USA because of this, because it will fail with his companies unlike Alibaba and Huawei. I suspect it's worse for companies to do 996 and turn their employees one-dimensional, but Twitter will fail mainly b

The old timers in mature code bases who spend 35 hours a week are far better for the organization than the driven hardcore out of college ambitious employees. I am certain that what happens after Elon is done dropping the former is an urge

I'm not saying either of you are wrong but the we'll be needing the robots to do it other ways or 10x as many farmers. It takes a ton of labor to deal with weeds and other issues in a more sustainable way

There are going to be tons of technical challenges in the near future with all of the people leaving.

It's ok he has work ethic unlike all of the lazy devs at his companies.

How are there still people that take everything Elon says as facts?

> Why do people still work at Tesla, or does this toxic behavior attract toxic employees? It attracts Elon devotees. It remains to be seen if they can be as good as regular SWEs. I highly doubt it

You can invest in Ark Venture Fund which has some stake in Twitter, but is run by Cathie Wood so it is basically like throwing money away (though most would say that about Twitter anyways). Otherwise Twitter exceeding expectations might ble

As long as he gets the wave of approvers oohing and aahing at each of his tweets, he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Where have I seen this behavior before? Certain egomaniacs really get addicted to their Twitter fanboys.

"no bs persona"? I guess you mean his style is "no BS" rather than the substance of what he says. It's funny I see this applied to people who constantly BS as long as they are not nice to people or PC.

Well that's because you're starting from a premise that there are competent people that aren't named Elon Musk. From first principles you are already off to a bad start, most of the world is just flailing around waiting for h

Whatever it is it's the same thing Trump has. They assume every problem is extremely simple and for some reason they're the only ones who see that, while everyone else is screwing things up by making everything complicated for no

Apple isn't starting on the same planet in terms of infrastructure. The actual search stuff would be the tip of the iceberg in terms of what they need to build to get to parity with Google in search

It is about the 10th time he jumps into something thinking he has some brilliant insight that everything is simpler than everyone else is making it out to be. He seems to be wrong every time but somehow it hasn't caught up to him yet.

The only winners were the Twitter shareholders, who the execs are supposed to represent.

I thought normally CEOs have to plan pretty far ahead to dump stocks so there's no suspicion of insider trading. When he first unloaded to buy Twitter a lot of people were speculating it was an excuse to unload TSLA ahead of bad news l

He's done selling really for real this time, no lie. And FSD, Cybertruck, Roadster, Semi, dojo in 2023 for sure!

He just wants split government, so that's why we should vote straight ticket republicans now. I'm sure he'll be supporting the Democratic candidate in 2024 to keep the balance Something about this reminds me of how we want pe

I agree with your gut feeling, mainly because even after a 50% drop it is still worth way more than the next few car companies combined while there's a fraction of the sales. Until recently there's been a strong belief that Tesla

Tesla is going to be like MyPillow soon, you buy it to show support for your politics.

I think it's interesting to see how much most people around here and reddit are convinced hydrogen personal vehicles won't work out while at the same time the largest carmaker seems very much to believe it will be the future.

Endless announcements and mispredictions are what aggravates me the most, borderline fraud IMO. I am not so much disliking him for it, I think he's a little neurodivergent and it's not exactly his fault, but it makes me really sad

> Its value will be established sooner or later. It is too early to call any Twitter-related promise "empty". By default I can't take any promise from Elon seriously, nor do I understand how anyone believes anything he say
