So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX **Threadbans in OP**

Good god what word salad; her golden parachute is gonna taste quite sweet when she has had enough covering Musk's whirling nonsense.

Buahaha; oh right, so these advertisers are just scared of Billy Big Balls it seems. And investors, especially those hailing from paces like Saudi Arabia, Russia or China, aren't exactly known for their passionate defence of your ideas of Free Speech, Linda. I wonder is the liquor cabinet in her mansion running dry more often these days, slugging back Dutch Courage as she's penning these waffly nothings to defend a manchild's impulses.

I saw a load of new posts and thought, yikes, something happened. And sure enough it was glorious. The emperor isn't just naked here he's bending backwards and flashing his crack & calling it innovation. No doubt his fanboys will look into his anus and say, what craft, what innovation, what forward thinking.

A company whose sole income stream was advertisers, has lost all its major advertisers, and Musk openly insults them - including the largest media company on the planet (sad face) - for the end-results and thinking of ... what? Aside from the huge applause he thought he'd get, is musk having a mental breakdown 'cos this is kinda moving beyond a joke at this stage. I want Twitter to fail and burn to the ground - but I didn't think we'd get a blaze at the fireworks factory either.

correction: a racist, anti-semitic, petulant child. Let's not let that one get lost in the latest round of collective bafflement as Musk spirals out of control.

The man has lost his mind, or is on something. Man, the audience's silence throughout that was excruciating and clearly the interviewer had no idea where to take that. His little gambit that "Earth" will judge the advertisers as those to blame for Twitter's now-admitted downfall is quite the flex; not sure that's how it'll be judged outside of his little circlejerk groups online.

He also, essentially, created markets out of nothing so could control the narrative and enjoy the plaudits context free; not without reason Tesla is now struggling as the rest of the automotive industry has caught up and overtaken them. Musk could define his own mythology; no longer since buying twitter.

Twitter is not an empty space, exists in a well understood, advertisement driven industry, so Musk is struggling to work with something he neither understands or has experience in. Plus add in whatever resentfulness he's obviously carrying from the days he was blocked from renaming PayPal to X.

In fairness it's clearly one of those Conferences where "Leaders" come to tell the world how terribly thoughtful and amazing they are; a physical embodiment of what LinkedIn is now: humblebrag'ing and puffery. And even if he got a little pushback the way Musk is, he'd probably have stormed off the stage - or told the interviewer to fúck off.
