There’s a better solution that fits Elmo’s modus operandi. AAPL currently has a market cap of just over $3 trillion. I’m sure that Elmo, exercising his typical financial genius, could offer them $6 trillion and convince some of his Saudi buddies to chip in.
Then he could appoint himself CEO, fire everyone, and remove the two-letter minimum. Mission accomplished!
As a bonus, he could rebrand Apple as “X” and ensure the company’s continued growth by issuing a new line of iPhones (henceforth, “Xphones”) which, in a brilliant adoption of simplicity, have no screen and their only ringtone is a fart noise, just like the elegant option on his Teslas. True genius knows no bounds.
I see that the sign-in page still says “Sign in to Twitter” and not “Sign in to X”.
If this were a movie, that thing would fall on the crazed CEO while he was ranting outside the doors and drive him into the pavement like a tent peg, forming a cross on his impromptu grave.
Elon Musk is the ultimate neighbor from hell.
Note that the rooftop garden is now brown and dead. A fitting metaphor for Twitter under Elmo’s “leadership”.
What are the odds he took out the appropriate permit before doing that?
Zero would be my guess. It’s a historic building and I can’t imagine the city approving that monstrosity even if it weren’t clearly a threat to public safety.
It could be a hazard to aircraft and passing ships:
I’m not supporting that at all, but how does one, “…cause an epilepsy”? I do know what was meant, but the wording is unfortunate.
Maybe just half of one, or a third of one?
Well, then, they’ll just have to demolish it…
X gon give it to ya!
Big surprise, Kanye West is back on Twix. But don’t worry. “X reinstated Ye’s account after receiving reassurance that he would not use the platform to share anti-Semitic or otherwise harmful language, the report said, quoting a person familiar with the matter.” So that’s all right.
That is, with no word of exaggeration, one of the ugliest things I have ever seen.* It looks like a gigantic version of something that a kid with no skills and no imagination might have built around 1920 with a beginner’s Meccano set containing only about a dozen parts. It distinctly brings to mind the kind of creative art expressed in an old Dilbert cartoon (back when Dilbert was good): an intern takes his completed project to Dilbert, saying “I didn’t know how to build a power supply, so I put a nail in a piece of wood”. When it comes to sophistication, that’s about Elmo’s speed.
Putting that monstrosity on top of a historic building is obscene.
* With the possible exception of the Cybertruck.
