A thread for updates on the various ways the internet is destroying everything and the undying hellsites of social media. Let's all laugh at the abyss.
Is that what they use mud rooms for now?
I leave mine in the fridge.
hey if some stranger wants to use my phone or laptop camera to see me naked, that’s my gift to them.

Wow, you must have a gigantic refrigerator to fit a mud room in it!

Of course not! That's just where I keep my mud so it stays fresh for an extra week.

Agree, but made a change to reflect my personal sentiment.
He's only looking for a figurehead, not an actual replacement. He'll still be the one making the decisions, he'll just have someone else be the one announcing them.
What clown would actually demean themselves to be a mouthpiece for all of Elmo’s stupid ideas and decisions.

I think the list is so long it could be seen from space.
Heck start with the entire trump administration (including trump himself), then MAGA asshats (Greene, Gaetz, Boebert) etc, then follow up with every white boy who feels the world is against him.

*shrug*
if Elon wants to pay a few million a year for someone to stand up in public and say easily disprovable lies out loud, my Steam account is in my signature, he can PM me there.
My understanding is that he doesn’t pay very well though. He’s one of those dudes that thinks he can do everything so he never wants to pay for quality people.
Get a cushy salary and spend six months or a year playing go-between conveying Musk's batsh*t crazy proclamations to the poor saps who have to try to implement them, then throwing them under the bus when explaining to him why it didn't happen, until you're not enough of a buffer between reality and his ego and he fires you?
I'm sure there are plenty of people who would do that. And if they're smart they'll make sure as little of their compensation as possible is in Twitter stock.
Edit: Multi-hauser'd!
Yeah, you wanna see the kind of people who are likely in line to replace him, check the people he's replying to on Twitter.
It'll be some VC crypto dude, not unlike the one who apparently called him "our philosopher King" on a spaces recently.
True. Didn’t think of some Crypto Bro. That would be for sure someone that would demean themselves.
He could even pay them in doge coin
I love the idea of, "Come run my company. I'll be a direct report to you with day-to-day responsibility for two of our major company functions. I'm still majority owner. I will never undermine you and you will have complete autonomy to steer the ship."
Business. Genius.
“Come run my company, if I see a post making fun of me go viral I’m going to wake you up at 3am and keep calling every 5 minutes until it’s taken down and the person is banned.”
“Come run my company, if I see a post making fun of me go viral I’m going to wake you up at 3am and keep calling every 5 minutes until it’s taken down and the person is banned.”
Which do you think would be more work?
Option A.) Actually policing Twitter so that no one can make fun of Beloved Leader the way Musk has been trying to, or,
Option B.) Create a dummy Twitter that only Musk sees, which is filtered through an intern on about a five-minute time delay, manually forwarding every tweet from everyone Musk follows from real!Twitter to dummy!Twitter, so that anything critical of him can be censored and he thinks everyone loves him?
'Cause gaslighting one Twitter user sounds a lot more cost-effective than thought-policing the other ~240 million.
It'll be hilarious if Musk hires Jason Calacannis as CEO. That idiot would certainly do anything Musk tells him to.

The man has no idea how a modern global technology business works.
He has no idea what advertisers expect in 2022 from a platform and tells someone who is patiently explaining this to him to shut up.

Ugh!!
George Hotz, known for being the first person to carrier-unlock an iPhone and jailbreaking the PS3, both under his hacker alias “geohot,” has resigned from his Twitter internship, he announced Tuesday evening on Twitter.“Appreciate the opportunity, but didn’t think there was any real impact I could make there,” he wrote. He also said it was “sad” to see his GitHub “withering.”
He was there a month.

“There are a lot of people who really don’t realize what they’re getting themselves into,” says Corey Silverstein, an attorney who specializes in internet law. “If you’re running these [instances], you have to run it like you’re the owner of Twitter.”
Please don't run anything like the owner of Twitter.

This sort of sounds like what I hear goes on at SpaceX. The staff has learned how to distract Musk with trivial sh*t so they can get their work done.
I listened to that clip of his rambling, and I think saying that not even he knows why he hates pronouns is an incredibly generous read of it. It sounded to me he was restraining himself from publicly stating the real reason because he knows it won't go over well for him.

Here's a write-up summarizing one of the funnier parts.
So that's it. The Tesla execs found the ultimate distraction to keep Elon out of their hair so they can do their jobs.
Very clever aside from the society destroying implications
