Elon Musk Twitter Trainwreck Mega-Thread

548 posts in this topic

Elon Musk has discovered that managing Twitter was more complicated than sprouting easy slogans like 'I'm a freedom of speech absolutist', something he has proved not to abide by once in charge.

He has confronted many public figures that brought a lot of users to the platform like Stephen King, while he was on good terms with weirdo anonym users like one called Catturd. Sorry, but this is not a genius move, it's the opposite. Most of the advertisers left by their own decision, no activist group did that, he lied, and he is a coward for blaming imaginary scapegoats.

The paid blue verification situation was a fiasco.

A wise manager comes to a company, first observes, then fires, then hires. He got rid of half his staff in the first week. and he sent an ultimatum email to the rest asking for 80-100 work weeks. I'm not even sure if this last is true, because it sounds absurd. His employees are leaving and he had to bring engineers from Tesla and money from SpaceX. SpaceX is private, okay, but all their contracts are bought exclusively by the government, so in the end, it's taxpayer money. The government and NASA sent men to the moon in the 60s with no help from private companies getting their pockets and money sacks bigger. Shareholders want profits first.

Twitter was so big that it was difficult to destroy, but he is getting closer and closer to it. If he seals the deal, I don't think he'll recover the image of the visionary he had in the eyes of the world before. He fucked up a lot. Let's see what else he does.

he's a conman, and you bought his sham. Thinking that a stage red person is turqoise is beyond misguided.

First twit from the link above: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science.

How do people fall for Musk, Trump, Kanye, etc so easily these days?  Lack of critical thinking?

One thing I keep seeing in this thread, is people trying to lump Elon musk into a spiral dynamics category to either worship him or dismiss him.

Remember, spiral dynamics is a generalized model, not truth. It is also more nuanced than "Elon is *insert special color here*". Different parts of people can be yellow and turquoise while other parts are red and blue. It is missing the point to learn spiral dynamics just to judge others on their high or low "ranking".

I think Elon Musk bought twitter to completely change it. In order to totally change it, he has to tear down the excesses before he can resculpt it in his own way. Kind of like restarting in pottery. He is making a mess right now, But that can be ok. We are all tempted to judge events and people based on our limited perspective.

Whether Elon musk fails or not, it is clear that at least some part of him wants to do something good for mankind. His methods are wonky, but I tend to think we should give people the benefit of the doubt.

musk is a genius, switching with coral & turquoise frame and adapting to orange/red masses his message via ritual ( memes/humor ).

We see that he is a pro psychedelic ( very green ) he reprogram the basic public to like him, because he knows fame matter way more than "pure money"

https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-psychedelics-burning-man-journeys-mdma-mushrooms-report-2022-10?r=US&IR=T

he knows exactly how to spread chaos at the right time, and how to get his army to bend the knee.

"prove your loyalty or die say the new king."

knowing how to master the attention economy is probably the biggest shift in our era. 

being childish don't matter, musk perfectly master the art of being switching to any stages when necessary.
He only show to the public whatever is needed to capitulize on attention. ( capitalisM )

Coral is the true "effective altruism"

we will see if I m wrong, I glady accept that my vision is absolutely wrong, I've done exactly same type of fake antics only to fish people limitation of mind.

He is not a conservator. ( but he is not on the left either ) Whatever node he has to use to get attention he will do.

Pure "absurdists" that rebuild reality to their arrogances are really something.

this is what a master who control chaos does, he has no allegiance, every schemes is good to succeed, to create anew, you need a lot of space, to get a lot of space, one must destroy.

This is pure creation and we are witnessing how to take and rebuild an empire.

I m not sure of his success, there is always many factors, but so far he is not making mistakes.

Beware none of you has never been CEO of huge company, this is exactly what a Tyran have to do to succeed.

Of course from the point of the view of the victims of his violence, it looks absolutely awful, evil, childish.

that was my take, whatever the synthesis of this story I'll learn at the end if my intuition was right or need total recalibration.

what in the fk ?

Fuck...... Twitter is my heaven for adult content. He is fucking everything up #impermanence 

Shit, now that you mention it, I have some good stuff saved from Twitter. A true lesson on impermanence.


"God is not a conclusion, it is a sudden revelation. When you see a rose it is not that you go through a logical solipsism, 'This is a rose, and roses are beautiful, so this must be beautiful.' The moment you see it, the head stops running thoughts. On the contrary, your heart starts running. It is something totally different from the idea of truth." -Osho

Musk is behaving like if I went into a rocket factory and started just cutting parts off the rocket, like, "Do we really need this thingy here? How important can it be? Just cut it."

 WhatsApp runs with less than 100 engineers. Instagram has over 300 I guess. A tech company dosen't need thousands of employees.

All they are doing is to run a website and a couple of apps. It's nearly not as complex as a rocket. Even kids make websites and apps. The only issue is managing scalability. Still, not that big of a deal. 

There are plenty of shitty hiring practices plaguing tech companies. Like based on race, affirmative action, gender etc instead of talent & competency. Most of such employees are a drag on the company. It's usually not a issue since they rake in millions in profit anyway. But twitter can't possibly do that with 7000 employees. Needs to lay off the unnecessary workers who were a drag on the business in the first place. 

You really don't need this much people to run a website lmaoo.. most of it is to done to appease the public and to show that they are liberal and progressive. That's exactly why they were running at a loss in the first place. Once this continues for years, twitter needs ro resort to donations from wealthy investors who push their own political dogma into it. 

Twitter needs less than a thousand engineers at max, if they are being run by decent businessman who wants to make a profit. It was basically running at a loss before Musk. Fixing a billion dollar shitty company ran by far left weirdos for years is not a simple task. He will emerge as a clear winner when the dust settles.

Alright maybe I spoke too fast, all the demons have been released, maybe there is no master plan and he is truly dumb as fuck.

As one of the most intelligent being on earth I m easily biased to think that everyone is being a smart strat neo punk master chess player, but maybe many are just randomly throwing dices all the time.

Twitter will stay alive, but if that help the king of hell take back the crown I may bet on the end of USA ( twitter may succeed, but will USA keep the line ? )
It may have a big long term secondary effect on the political chess, but that's assumptions, does the words of fools really makes people more foolish ?

I've seen the skill of andrew tate in drawing, it's so bad.
for me this show the property of a mind when you draw big lateral wings as boobs with the skill of a delayed 2 years old

Also Jordan peterson seems to say that he want to cancel everyone who is "psycho, narc" 
It's clearly not wisdom and clearly the same bad rhetoric he accuse others to do on himself.. how pityful.
He sound like those poor girls who had toxic exes and find justification to hate all of them.

that was my last post on the topic and the drama, have a good time, god bless and save America.

I don't even follow nor see their rhetoric. I find only viewing social media's NSFW content far more wholesome, and less toxic, in comparison with the non-sense purported by these "mainstream" influencer's". #MentalDrama. 

Yeah I do follow it. NSFW content is usually soft and artistic on social media. Twitter doesn't crack down on it because it brings clicks and revenue. It treats people like humans and not animals in many porn sites.

I think so too bro, the guy is really just being a jerk to the app. He just went in there and started being toxic. I think that Leo Gura is a way better human than Elon.
