Musk doesn't wish he was Hughes because he already believes he's Tony Stark.
I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
In a the recent CNBC interview, Musk misquoted The Princess Bride when defending his erratic tweeting .
“You know, I’m reminded of. There’s a scene in ‘The Princess Bride’ — great movie — where he confronts the person who killed his father and he says, ‘Offer me money, offer me power, I don’t care,’” Musk told his interviewer, David Faber.
“So you just don’t care?” Faber asked.
“I’ll say what I want to say and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it,” Musk responded.
Mandy Patinkin, who delivered the line in question in the movie, took offence to both the misquote and the misinterpretation.
Okay, misinterpretation of the Princess Bride here aside... there's a full twenty seconds between being asked the question "So hey, what happens if a dude doesn't want to advertise with you any more?" and Musk starting his response. Had he... had he just never considered the possibility before?
the extended silence in response was concerning and wierd, like we was a chatgp instance that was searching it's databank for a response, all of the blue checkmark brigade responding with such unadulterated fan boy love was actually scary.
That was your classic, "Elon, think now, don't blow this, think about all the memes you've looked at, think about all the time you've spent surfing the internet in preparation for this one moment. Bring your a game. I got it, let's misremember a line from the Princess Bride!"

I would imagine that he was trying to think of an answer that wasn't the truth, which is and has been 'We attempt to extort them via the culture war machine'.

All that money and he's being shifty about building a bathroom.
I'm gonna guess it wasn't about the money, it was about the long permit process and he wanted it NOW
234. For example, Davis told Killian that Musk wanted to add a bathroom next to his
office so that Musk didn't have to wake his security team and cross half the floor to use the
bathroom in the middle of the night.
235. Killian explained that it would take time to get the necessary permits, but
promised to begin that process right away.
236. In response, Davis instructed Killian not to bother with obtaining permits because,
to paraphrase, we don't do that, we don't have to follow those rules.
237. Shocked, Killian reminded Davis that if they did not get a permit, no licensed
plumber would perform the work for fear of jeopardizing their license.
238. Davis responded by instructing Killian to hire an unlicensed plumber instead.
239. Now thoroughly bewildered, Killian attempted to explain that the use of licensed
tradespeople was a condition of their lease, and that failure to abide by it would put them in
breach of that lease.
240. Davis responded that management did not care about any of this, that they weren't
interested in ensuring that the work was performed in accordance with the standards required by
the lease, by the City of San Francisco, by the State of California, or any other authority, they
just wanted it done.
241. It got worse.
242. Musk announced via the Transition Team that he was going to be installing hotel
rooms at Twitter HQ .
243. Killian was initially told that the hotel rooms, soon renamed to sleeping
rooms to avoid triggering the suspicions of the city inspectors, were just being installed to give
exhausted and overworked employees a place to nap.
244. Though the changes had initially been simple, if unorthodox--removing a
conference table and installing a bed--Davis instructed Killian to begin planning for and
implementing the addition of features like en-suite bathrooms and other changes to the physical plant.
245. Concerned about how city inspectors would react to Twitter's plans, Killian
emailed the Transition Team to note that the changes they had made thus far were limited to just
furniture and therefore were code compliant, but that Twitter's future planned changes would
require permits and more complicated code compliance.
246. In response , Hollander visited him in person and emphatically instructed him to never put anything about the project in writing again.
247. Hollander appeared surprised and distressed that Killian did not inherently
understand that this was not a project for which Musk and the Transition Team wanted a written
record.
248. Hollander specifically conveyed that Davis in particular was upset that Killian
had sent the email.

I bet the weird personal security stuff is just another sad flex. "Look at me, I'm so important people want to send assassins after me!"
He's clearly just following the path forged by Howard Hughes. His wealth divorces him from reality, and his constant online presence has him seeing opponents everywhere. He's unable to reflect on his own self, so obviously anyone who criticizes him is 'out to get him'. The step to believing assassins are everywhere is pretty short step.
Howard Hughes did stuff.
Musk wishes he was Howard Hughes.
Designed everything from bras, to ahead of the curve aircraft, truly an engineer for the record books.
Seriously ballsy too (crazy or brave, who knows), he nearly killed himself multiple times test flying his own experimental aircraft. Won't catch Musk doing that.
So Musk is so paranoid that, at Twitter, the place he owns, he's afraid of walking across an office in the middle of the night to pee without having armed guards by him.
Being Elon Musk must be exhausting.
There's a line in a book (The Gun Seller, by Hugh Laurie (yes, the actor). It's good) about someone who 'desperately wanted to believe he was important enough to have enemies', and hired the main character as a bodyguard to bolster the fantasy. I feel like that applies here.
There's the mindset of 'some people don't like me, therefore some people must want to actually hit me'. You see it with some politicians who get shouted at in public, and they immediately go 'what if they hadn't shouted at me, what if they'd thrown weaponised Ebola at me?' They can't see a difference between disapproval and actually wanting them dead.
Has there been any actual case of someone attacking Musk to justify the paranoia? Someone lunging at him with a gun, anything?

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is planning to announce the start of his 2024 presidential campaign on Wednesday in a live audio conversation on Twitter with Elon Musk, the platform’s polarizing owner, according to people with knowledge of his plans.
Mr. DeSantis’s entry into the Republican primary race against former President Donald J. Trump has been widely expected, but the decision to do so with Mr. Musk adds a surprising element and gives Mr. DeSantis access to a large audience online. NBC News first reported the plans.

No see, it's fine, musk has clarified that free speech allows for the government to ban things, it is only private entities that cannot.
It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

So, the grand announcements for Twitter's grand video ambitions are 1) Tucker Carlson after he managed to get too racist for Fox News, and 2) Ron DeSantis.
...am I missing anything? No Property Brothers or some TikToker that does dog videos or such, just those two fascist wannabes?

Except Twitter. Twitter is absolutely allowed to ban things.
Like publicly available records.
Because assassination threats.
It's almost as if there's no coherent philosophy or logic to his claims, and he's just making things up so that he can do what he wants, promote who he wants, and the claims about free speech are just a shield he uses to protect his abhorrent views on things while punishing people he perceives as enemies.
i imagine this whole thing will be scripted, i mean otherwise nothing could go wrong trying to put two of the most awkward human beings together to try to have a conversation on camera to announce a campaign where public perception is everything right?
i'm really hoping elon makes one of his jokes that only he thinks is funny and then desantis does that weird imhuman laugh thing that he does in response and then they just sit and stare at each other in silence for like 15 seconds

Probably a combination of laws in place in a Democratically controlled state, and a landlord not wanting to get into a shitfight with someone that can drop a Brinks truck on them, and has the temperament to do so.
The latter is the same reason Trump gets away with not paying for shit all the time. Yes, you might win the legal fight, but it'll be long, drawn out, and quite possibly end with the court not actually enforcing shit. "The court said you owe me $X." "Make me."
Of course, the alternative is just hoping that you'll get paid. And that rarely works out.

OK, I'm never not going to imagine all the Elon fanboys on Twitter as anything other than Tobias Fünke.
Signing up for paid Twitter...
Personally I'd take the safer route and just submit long ass code to prove how valuable I am.
Doesn't matter that I don't know how to code, I'm pretty sure Musk doesn't know anymore either. If he ever actually did.
You just said a thing that will not be brought up once in the coverage of this clusterfuck of an announcement.

Oh - it all makes sense when you put it that way.
Why is there blood leaking out of my ears?
...am I missing anything? No Property Brothers or some TikToker that does dog videos or such, just those two fascist wannabes?
Except Twitter. Twitter is absolutely allowed to ban things.
Like publicly available records.
Because assassination threats.
It's almost as if there's no coherent philosophy or logic to his claims, and he's just making things up so that he can do what he wants, promote who he wants, and the claims about free speech are just a shield he uses to protect his abhorrent views on things while punishing people he perceives as enemies.
i'm really hoping elon makes one of his jokes that only he thinks is funny and then desantis does that weird imhuman laugh thing that he does in response and then they just sit and stare at each other in silence for like 15 seconds
It's definitely going to be a shitshow.
I mean I'm not going to watch it because blood would run out my ears, but it's definitely going to be an epic shitshow.
Daily Wire is apparently doing something on twitter as well
Probably a combination of laws in place in a Democratically controlled state, and a landlord not wanting to get into a shitfight with someone that can drop a Brinks truck on them, and has the temperament to do so.
The latter is the same reason Trump gets away with not paying for shit all the time. Yes, you might win the legal fight, but it'll be long, drawn out, and quite possibly end with the court not actually enforcing shit. "The court said you owe me $X." "Make me."
Of course, the alternative is just hoping that you'll get paid. And that rarely works out.
Also, right now, who else is going to fill that space? It will probably sit empty for years before they could refill it, and a new tenant would demand a bunch of upgrades and changes.
What could possibly go wrong when two, ultra thin skinned fascists, get in a room together to talk politics?
"please remove the port-a-potty from the CEOs office"
