> not really sure what she thought was going to happen Fat severance package, a post-termination book deal and international name recognition?
He’s got a conspicuous habit of not paying people severance even when legally obligated to.
I knew the end of the cheap money era would cause some businesses to be exposed but wow. We are basically in the middle of watching someone flush 44 billion down the drain. I could understand if it was a 600 posting limit. But a 600 viewing limit? wow. For example, NBA free agency just started. There are types of trades & signings being talked about. Just looking at that information I'm going past the 600 limit in ab…
Tesla keeps going up

It's even funnier when Elon confirmed that scrolling through a tweet counts as a read.
Isn't that obvious though? What else would count as a read?
Other random ideas for what you would consider counted? you replied, you liked, you clicked a link through the tweet, you expanded a shortened version of a long tweet. There are so many ways to determine "read" and assuming it's always the naive "it was served" is like building a business based off of page views and not actual engagement.

I’ve always wondered what it’s like to work for a CEO where you simultaneously 1. can’t say no to him, and 2. can’t implement their hairbrained ideas without killing your product and then being blamed for it. I heard a rumor (who knows if it’s true) that in the early-ish days of Amazon, they had an entirely separate backend and frontend just for Bezos that would only display if his account was logged in. So when he a…
Her job is to handle the humans. Most people cannot take radical ideas and don't understand that Elon Musk does not need to care and foes not care if he fails with Twitter after first trying to construct something with a social impact. Elon Musk can fuck up every company he has and (as long as he doesn't get sued by angry investors) he will still be able to live a great, amazing life. Edit: I get down votes but no re…
He has moronic ones. The only reason any of his companies have done well is because they have people that can manage HIM well enough to do well in spite of his idiotic moronic stupid ideas.

No, every girl wants a pony, not a horse.
This is presumably a reference to Musk offering to buy a SpaceX employee a horse in exchange for sexual favors.
It was a flight attendant he offered a horse to.

It doesn't feel like that to me. Elon reported that Twitter hit a new all time high of "user seconds" last week. Reddit usage doesn't seem to have gone down much. In my opinion, what you are really experiencing is wishful thinking.
How is user seconds defined?

The weirdest thing of this era is that we don't see the big players (eg. Google) trying to take advantage of this situation and create an alternative.
What big players are in a position to make an alternative, as well as be trusted enough that people will migrate to it? What an inane comment.

His offer was always well above fair value, which is why Twitter's board took him to court to enforce it.
His offer was $54.20 in April 2022. That was a 38% premium to the market price immediately prior to his investment, which is attractive but not necessarily "always well above fair value" Twitter had traded above that price as recently as five months earlier, and had traded in the $60s and even $70s for most of 2021. Twitter's stock had cratered in early 2022 along with many other tech stocks (Facebook went from $330…

You mean to tell me that you can't actually run a tech company with three engineers and a Mac Mini?
Have you checked how many engineers Mastodon has? https://joinmastodon.org/de/about Four.
