It is fun to see the fall of Musk, I don't know anyone who defends him at this point, everyone I know (myself included) have changed how we think of him since he acquired twitter. He has become an egocentric man with need for acceptance.

Wanting to see the failure of one of the few people who have made lasting important contributions to humanity, and inspires millions of builders to achieve big things, is a sad way to live life. It's frankly anti-progress and anti-humanity.

In my opinion the healthiest approach is to not care. Life’s too short. Almost everything else is more important than some rich brain parasite’s midlife crisis dressed up as 5-d chess. The brain parasite feeds on attention whether positive or negative.

> you should not care > proceeds to call someone they don’t know and will never meet names

You seem to be on path to victory my friend.

When Musk bought Twitter, I had the notion that Musk doesn't care if twitter falls under. I completely underestimated the depth of his indifference. He's going to have twitter be his way totally, and survival won't be a consideration. Twitter stays alive? Great. It fails? Oh well.

Do visit https://xcorp.com for a hearty laugh (or slightly frightened chuckle, on how life mirrors art). X Corp - Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) - UAP Technology X Corp is one of the largest multinational conglomerates in the world. It is headquartered in the Western Hemisphere and was founded after the consolidated mega-corporate merger between ApostleCorp, The Allied Spacecraft Corporation (ASC), and Tyrell Corporati…

If that site is intended to create a bizarre sense of discomfort, it's a work of pure creative genius. If not, it's the work of a madman!

Meanwhile, the x.com domain seems to be somewhat shambolic. As I write this, it hits a Godaddy parking page. According to this[0] tweet[1], it's been a Godaddy site, a dead link, a redirect, and now a godaddy site again. Shambles.

x.com just redirects to twitter.com.

For what I can tell, Elon bought Twitter to take it off the stock market, fix it as a private company, creating growth and profitability, and then list it later to make his money back. He sees the X vision to make Twitter become the Everything App, where people turn to it for more than just messaging, but video calls and commerce. Very much like WeChat where it serves as a platform for things like restaurant bookings…

His vision is to turn it into a bank. He talked about this with Baron's last year. The part of the "everything app" he actually cares about is banking. His goal is to make it into the world's largest bank. He actually said so. Honestly, not a bad idea. If you are the world's richest person you might as well have a company that can actually make money.

He wants a bank, and buys a social media company for 44 Bn. Interesting strategy, as someone else so pointly called it: 5d checkers.

The Social Media Site Formerly Known As Twitter probably just started announcing things before the DNS propagation for X.com went through.

Sure it's not worth getting really upset about (unless you were employed at Twitter, or had your work/life significantly impacted by the changes) but it's gonna be hard not to feel something about what's going on there, and to express that both here and on Twit... sorry X.

Cool play on E-Corp from Mr.Robot! Wonderfully written show where every day that goes by makes it seem more and more like a documentary. Great watch even if you are only vaguely into tech.
