Good point.
Wanna start a social media company?
Not tonight, I have a headache.

Have seen a few tweets from Twitter employees saying they woke up to their company devices and accounts being locked out. One was actually up late working last night when his computer logged him off. That’s how they found out. None of them got an e-mail or phone call.
Musk’s email to staff told them to call in if they haven’t received anything by 5pm PDT. Typical Musk rollout.
Elon thinks Henry Ford had all the right social beliefs, he was just too easy on his workers.

It is a very short stroll from genius savior to satanic cretin.
My wife and I were in Texas City a long time ago having breakfast in a hotel restaurant, and there was a group of old fellows eating at a nearby table and having a loud discussion. I forget exactly what they were talking about, but at some point one of them says something like (in a suitably folksy tone of voice): “Everybody thinks intelligence is a spectrum, but it’s really a circle, and at some point you go from genius to mo-ron.” I try to keep that in mind.

Maybe advertisers are pausing because they have absolutely no clue what you’ll do next, you insufferable idiot.

The tweet embodies Musk’s incoherence: “We’re still moderating out the hateful crap, so continue to pay me, but you fuckers should really support me allowing all the hateful crap in.”
It also reeks of entitlement. Everyone should just continue to give him money.
He’s taken credit for other people’s work for so long and NEVER taken the blame for anything that he believes his own bullshit. I’ve seen that in corporations my whole career, but with Musk it is fueled by the drug of fame, and he always needs a fix.

Totally-random-factoid-of-the-day-that-doesn’t-necessarily-belong-in-this-thread-but-oh-since-we’re-talking-megalomaniacal-billionaires:
Market cap of Meta one year ago today: $1 trillion
Market cap of Meta today: $200 billion
(yeah the Fed has more than a little to do with it but Zuckerberg and his grandiose metaverse plans have caused more harm)

This is not central to your point and I am also gleeful at Meta’s fall, but for example Apple’s share price a year ago was about $150 and today it’s about $140, so I would argue that the Fed did in fact have little to do with Meta’s slide. The Fed had something to do with it; I am well aware of what higher interest rates do to tech stocks. But this is not a Fed driven event.
