This is actually exemplary of one of the struggles I have with Twitter
On the one hand? I love drama. I love it. There's a level on which my brain is like hoo boy everyone is dragging Candy Mom can you believe someone so bad exists
But on the other, like, do I really benefit in any way in knowing that this main character exists, or experiencing that brief bit of outrage that someone can so proudly be a shitty parent? Do I really need that mixed endorphin rush of being mad and then seeing people reply in ways that dig in on 'em? And as fun as like, one instance of this is, this happens every day on there, taking advantage of that emotional reaction to the person who has fucked up in such a big way that the Eye of Twitter descends upon 'em
It just feels eventually like algorithmic emotional manipulation and I end up realizing I've delved too greedily and too deep into the replies and 20 minutes have gone by where I could have watched my hockey team lose at sports or cleaned my house or something
Nah, it's fine, there's a shame nubbin that evolved for very important small-group social reasons, and it doesn't get activated so much since we started making kids watch Sesame Street. It's fine to scratch it once in a while with awful strangers on the internet if most of the people in your day to day are too chill.

I apparently met Bean Dad at a party and didn't realize he was Bean Dad.
This was, as I understand it, pre-Crisis, and thus the only thing I remember about him is that he was somehow less funny than the guy who kept drunkenly shouting "For me to poop on!" at random intervals as he eavesdropped on other peoples' conversations.

Seems like the perfect person to just point blank ask if anyone ever asked him to talk less.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
According to internal records viewed by CNBC, employees from Musk’s other companies are now authorized to work at Twitter, including more than 50 from Tesla, two from the Boring Company (which is building underground tunnels) and one from Neuralink (which is developing a brain-computer interface).
Several Twitter employees told CNBC over the weekend that Tesla employees now at Twitter have been involved in code review at the social network, even though their skills from working on Autopilot and other Tesla software and hardware do not directly overlap with the languages and systems used to build and maintain the social network. These employees asked not to be named because they’re not authorized to talk to the press about internal matters, and feared retaliation.
For example, most engineers in automotive companies, even the tech-forward Tesla, do not have experience designing and operating search engines and platforms that are broadly accessible to the public.
Twitter has multiple code bases with millions of lines of code in each, and myriad 10 million or even 100 million or more queries per second (QPS) systems underpinning it. At Tesla, Python is one of the preferred scripting languages, and at Twitter programmers have used Scala extensively.
programming is programming, right?

If this were a Tarantino movie it would end with every single Nazi getting brutally murdered.
Every movie should end like that
Marriage Story
Scarlett Johansson: I guess here at the end of our divorce it's good that we figured out that we were in a toxic relationship.
Adam Driver: That's the logical conclusion I've drawn from the trailers I've seen and the way most movies go. I haven't seen the film.
SJ: Holy shit, did that shady panel van just crash into the Panera Bread across the street?
AD: It did! And are those...nazis staggering out of the back?
SJ: Looks like. And there's Mr. T and some Power Rangers.
AD: Oof. They're really murdering the shit out of those nazis.
SJ: Yup. Anyway, I'm out. Don't call me.
AD: Same. Fuck! That's nasty.
SJ: Neat that it happened to a nazi, though.
AD: For sure. Get out.
SJ: Yeah.
Musk demonstrating that most wealthy business owners these days are fucking idiots. I'm not a programmer, but I have enough understanding of the job to just cringe at the idea of "let's just bring another programmer in to looking at this code because a programmer is a programmer. It's not like there is this thing of different programming languages, engines and other things that can result in another programmer not being very useful because we're asking them to do something outside their skillset."

i mean that's the thing right is you're told growing up there's a correlation between wealth and deserving that wealth, and then you get to the world and you're like "i have been subjected to a deception"
I'm reminded of an article I read recently about a random jpeg in a game folder crashing the game's code if deleted with no one being quite sure why...scaled up to something the size of Twitter.
And then along comes random Tesla programmer with instructions to streamline the code.
a couple of good tweets because I can figure out just about everything going on in these but if you show this to someone who isn't online every part of it is nonsense

There’s a lot of layers of meme right here, I don’t even understand them all
That this man is the richest fuck in the world while being such a dumb fuck makes me feel so incredibly sad and irritated.
Only till this craters Tesla's stock value and then we are back to the guy that had his small dick compensation boat in a shipyard that it couldn't get out of.
But I dont understamd how he couldnt even wait a week to get sorted first
Pretty sure I know. This whole thing is pretending that he's just going to walk into a company and improve it. He doesn't really have any good ideas here so instead he's just moving fast.
Musk's success, such as it were, isn't based on being a good businessman, it's based on a cult of personality. Every decision he makes, at least in public, is based around what will get people to say he's a smart and good business boy, so he can't just buy Twitter and slowly work to correct whatever problems he thinks it has. He has to talk about how he's going to do something and he's gotta have something now before he loses interest or people stop paying attention to him for three seconds.
Like, I hate to psychoanalyze someone like this, because I'm sure not qualified, but all of his business decisions are less about big ideas than making sure that everyone knows that he's a big ideas guy who does memes. It's not an accident that there was a stretch where he was getting name dropped in Mass Effect and Star Trek. If there's one thing he's been adept at, it's selling people on the idea that he's a visionary. Even here, where he's stepping on rake after rake, he's got a horde of people falling all over themselves to call him a genius.
What's depressing is he could run Twitter into the ground completely, lose all $44 billion of that "investment" as it turns to smoke and ash, and he would still have wealth beyond mortal means to spend in ten lifetimes. It'd hurt like few things can, but it wouldn't be a fatal wound to his finances.

You have to wonder if the one guy is either happy or sad that he's not torturing apes anymore.

The twitter money is pretty much a sunk cost I think, but SpaceX and Tesla are also losing value because of his dumbshittery so there's that
How will Twitter's interest payments work: do they gotta pay monthly or annually or what? The interest they have to pay is like 10 times their current profit, right?

you cannot convince me 90% of the stories there are not made up, lies on the internet for engagement endorphins
There are definitely some that are made up, but think about the timeline we live in.
