Elon Musk Trying To Back Out of Twitter Deal

[gimpshiznit]

They are losing their minds.

Imagine hiring tens of thousands of employees a year and Elon drops 80% of his people. Then nothing happens. The site is up, new features come out, more user growth.

Tim Apple probably goes home and punches holes in his drywall.

the fucked up part, is that i think you really believe this.

Twitter's privacy-preserving Tor service goes dark

Twitter’s Tor service, a version of the site that could be accessed even in countries where the social network is banned, has gone dark after the company failed to renew its certificate. The certificate for Twitter’s onion site expired on March 6, just days before the site was set to mark its...

FB is literally testing the paid verification process that lost twitter their advertisers back in November when people went ham with fake accounts.

Wrap your mind around that.

I know when i think about wise social media choices I use facebook as my benchmark.

facebook also spends 1 Billion dollars a month on the Metaverse that no one wants.

Well, this is kinda my point. Zuck is doing the dumbest shit in this example because elon is living in his mind day and night.

explain the meta verse then.

I believe zuck to be a complete tard, but to be fair, FB generated $114 billion dollars in revenue during a recession.

That's why he gets to spend 11ty billion on nintendo Miis.

I haven’t sprinkled you with autism for a bit but I told you bros exactly what was going to happen.

They have more users, more features, additional streams of revenue, and drastically lower labor costs. The site is still up despite nonstop firings.

It seems like the chaos will eventually be too much for the 2000 people left, but if you haven’t quit yet after all this, you’re never quitting.


What I didn’t predict, was how fucking jealous every CEO in Silicon Valley would be. They are clamoring to emulate him because nothing they do gets the attention he gets. Probably because the only thing they do is copy other companies.

So if you want to predict what’s going to happen next, look at what Elon has been doing and then water it down.

Thus, even more firings, and more clamoring to copy open AI.

Because of Elon the entire labor market in SF has changed. There are no openings. So Elon can be even more unhinged and people are just going to keep working.

Dude....

at first i thought he was just fucking with us, but he is 100% serious

explain the meta verse then.

When people with debilitating autism are given hundreds of billions of dollars they find ways to avoid interacting with other humans face to face.

When you fund a project like this with absolutely unlimited resources it becomes hyper inefficient.

Normally you do something like this with no budget. The shit you produce has to be good enough to get traction. Only until it gets some traction or shows promise do you get more funding or revenue. Your scope is narrow and limited so it's easier to produce a specific result.

Instead they instantly start with a massive bureaucracy, massive spending rate, too large a scope, too much to manage. They're starting with people who aren't incentivized to be successful because they're already rich senior employees. They won't be allowed to fail so there's no incentive to get shit done.

The do a lot of these types of things. They try to create new startup like businesses, and they always fail for these same reasons. This is why big tech companies mostly buy or copy other smaller tech companies.


One could say this is sort of the opposite of Elon's thinking. He wants to behave more like a startup with a smaller group of people, narrower scope, possibility of failure if you don't perform.

you dont think elon has autism?

 

[whatever]

I guess when you have autism its hard to tell when others do.

Look at how much Enron saved on their pension plan. Other energy sector CEOs are scrambling to follow suit.

What specifically do you take issue with?

 

[fatmoocow]

You asked to explain the metaverse. The metaverse exists (or barely exists) because zuck has autism and hundreds of billions of dollars to spend.

 

[intro_vert13]

@fatmoocow you're an avid All In watcher aren't you

 

[memyselfandi]

Surely the best coders and developers will also have the skillset to make great managers.

Yes, that is why advertisers left. Not because the autistic manchild gutted the moderation team and is bringing back/unbanning trolls and bigots left and right.

Ugh, whenever I try to listen to that shit either calacanis being an absolute moron or Chamath's talking shit about grifting he himself is doing simultaneously, it drives me up the wall.

Correct. They left because verified accounts were impersonating them. When dudes were saying insulin is free, eli lilly wasn't so interested in buying ads on twitter.

And these are the types of successful actions and decisions that are leaving other CEOs clamoring to emulate the great Elon Musk?

Answer my question.

Yes. This is the exact example we have covered in this thread.
