I doubt that. Remember that Trump is still trying to pretend that Truth social is a real competitor to twitter. So even if some of his supporters like Musk, he’s still the enemy (much like DeSantis).
Elon Musk is showing the tech world that division heads aren’t necessary for more than a few months at a time. We can expect other companies to follow suit now that Musk has revealed this visionary new paradigm.
That seemed to be Trump’s presidential leadership style as well: High leadership turnover = winning. He was agile before Musk made it popular.
Okay, I’ve been wondering what the, “Agile”, thing is. I get the gist of what it means, but where did it come from?
A few thousand posts upthread, courtesy of our local Elmo fanboy;
Ahh, I though it might reference him. I just wasn’t sure how or when. Thanks.
And just to add to @Smapti’s post, agile development (aka agile project management) is a legitimate methodology, though not one that I personally happen to favour. The joke here is that it’s a riff on Elmo fanbois who use its rapid deployment model as a defense of a moron who has no idea what he’s doing and just rolls out major changes with no thought, no rationale, no plan, nothing but a gut feel for an ill-conceived harebrained scheme that inevitably backfires. Agile development, whether one endorses it or not, is actually a methodology. Elmo’s methodology isn’t “agile”, it’s more appropriately termed “asshole”, and its mantra is one that Elmo himself has stated in pretty much these words: “I’m rich and I can do whatever I want.”
Agile asshole . . . or prehensile rectum!
Mmmmm, very grabby.
I was going to make a joke about Trump and agility, but then it occurred to me that this is actually a good analogy. Apparently Trump was a decent baseball player at one point; the only thing stopping him from being a Hall of Famer was those cursed bone spurs. Musk built some decent companies. But now, Musk’s leadership style is the equivalent of drinking a bottle of water with two hands or driving a golf cart onto the green because one is too lazy to walk.
I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that Loser Donald’s claims of being a baseball great are bullshit.
Almost all of Donald’s claims are bullshit. However, if he was playing on the varsity team as a sophomore, he had some skills, although hitting wasn’t apparently one of them.
Of course, depending on the size of the school, his skills could mostly have been he was a big target that could catch for the rest of the infield to throw the ball to.
His batting average would have been .975 were it not for those deep state umpires who had it in for him.
Those pesky therapists who help trans kids not commit suicide? Lock 'em up and throw away the key, says Elon.
Just a friendly reminder, this is who you’re supporting by continuing to use the platform.
So then every pediatrician or person who performs surgery on a child goes to prison. That newborn needs to have a tumor removed? Better not do it, that’s a capital offense.
But, Elon might say, those are helpful and necessary medical procedures! Oh, are they? Who is making that determination? Medical professionals or an adult spoiled rich brat?
FWIW, I had thought that it was more of a dig at agile software development in general than at Sam in particular. The industry is famous for poor planning and execution being passed off as “agile” (so long as you have a daily stand-up).
For the sake of completeness, we should note that Musk is saying that he’d like to ban circumcision, tattoos, piercings, or any form of plastic surgery on children.
The account in question literally has the word Parody in its name. Always has.
It’s not visible in the feed.
But if you click on any of the tweets you can see it clearly. Saying that Musk boosted a ‘Fake’ account instead of a parody account is just misleading. And I saw some of the tweets from that account, including the one Elon shared. You’d need to have a head full of rocks not too immediately twig that it was a parody.
Still, it doesn’t matter anymore anyway. The account’s been deleted.
