Tesla’s shareholders are pissed at Elmo for ignoring faucis responsibilities while prosecute plays with faucis new toy.
I’m sure if I look hard enough I’ll find the posts where you’re as upset by the right accusing anyone they don’t like of being child sexual predators.
That makes it sound like they self-disbanded. In fact this was Elmo’s doing, although several of the members had resigned last week in protest over Elmo’s reckless policies, writing that “contrary to claims by Elon Musk, the safety and wellbeing of Twitter’s users are on the decline.”
Twitter has now removed the page that described the Council as “… made up of external expert organizations that advised on issues including online safety, human and digital rights, suicide prevention, mental health, child sexual exploitation, and dehumanization.”
Elmo disbanded the council just hours before a scheduled meeting with Twitter executives. I guess one way to deal with a committee that’s about to tell you things you don’t want to hear is to disband them.
If I had a deposit on a Tesla at the moment, I’d be getting my money back, pronto. His obsession with Twitter is going to drive his main business into the ground.
But that might help his other other business!
Or, to put it in Dr. Evil terms, “I had the group liquidated, you little shit. They were insolent!”
I’m now imagining Robert Wagner trying to explain to Elmo that Tesla brings in a lot more money than Twitter ever has or ever will.
If the use of silly nicknames for despised public figures is primarily what strikes you as “pathetic” in political discourse these days, you may have some odd priorities. Either that, or you just can’t find anything more substantive to complain about in the current contemptuous criticism of public figures like Musk or Trump or Bush, so you’re reduced to grousing about the undignified name-calling.
Personally, what I find most pathetic is the inability of so many people to develop even a reasonably accurate perception of reality. If only more right-wingers could manage to tell the difference between facts and paranoid fantasy regarding, say, Democrats like Biden and Hillary Clinton, they could go on calling those Democrats “Brandon” and “Hitlery” or any similar name that amuses them until they’re blue in the face, for all I care.
In light of that amusing little hissy fit upthread, Elmo it is.
Elmo is disturbingly similar to Trump: thin-skinned, spoiled, needy, petulant, insecure, petty etc… Classic momma’s boy.
Children of the rich are the worst.
So where are his hardcore employees supposed to sleep now? The sidewalk?
Seeing as how it’s evidently possible to run three companies and still have time to troll on the internet all day, it seems that the whole “CEO” gig is nowhere near as difficult as we’d been led to believe by the explanations why it is right and proper that a CEO’s paycheck has three or four zeroes tacked on to the end compared to a working stiff’s paycheck…
He doesn’t pay them to sleep.
The account that tracks Elon musk’s jet has been mysteriously suspended, while other similar accounts are still active.
I’m surprised it took this long. That whole scuffle was a real thumb in Elon’s eye, and the kid came out of it looking like David shrugging off Goliath’s temper tantrum.
Ah! The “I don’t care about this topic, but the rest of you are doing it wrong” post. A thoroughly unpathetic drive by effort. We applaud you!
Now back to bashing Elmo Mush!
What’s disturbing is that the American right-wing that has been groomed for years into wanting fascism keeps latching onto these petulant menchildren while seeing them as strong alpha male types. Or perhaps that delusion is what will eventually save American democracy…
There’s an interesting article in Vox that puts forward a theory of why Musk might want to fire 75% of the employees of Twitter and hope that everything still works: How a 1941 book explains Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover - Vox
If power is increasingly moving away from capitalists and toward the managers they employ, then it’s totally coherent for even the wealthiest people in the country to see themselves as victims of a “woke mind virus” infecting middle and upper management. This is how you get the odd spectacle of people like Musk deploring alleged censorship perpetrated by their own companies: They see their staff not as subordinates whose conduct is an internal company matter, but as rivals in the struggle for power who must be defeated.
I recommend giving it a read to anyone who’s interested
I won’t stand for you insulting former President Trump - who’s famous for childish nicknames.
