Elon Musk Agrees to $44b Deal for Twitter

Sano said:
So, why is it good when it applies to someone in Musk who wants to make it even worse?

don't know how eliminating grifters and the vast number of bots, alongside the ideologically committed zealots that dug their way within a society-influencing instrument can be seen by any reasonable person as the better state of affairs.
i don't know how it will be worse.
but it's awful now.

Musk is the biggest grifter of them all. He never cared about the thousands of bots that follow him, nor when he benefitted from mechanical accounts promoting his stocks. He suddenly cared when attempting to use them as a bargaining tool. Didn't care about free speech either when he fired Tesla employees for speaking out against him or their working conditions. The list goes on. You mention ideological zealots, yet Musk is more political than any previous owner. You can't not see that. Not only is he a shit stirrer who has made large parts of his fortune through abusing social media, he's made himself into a political pundit. Furthermore, he wants to move us even further away from human interaction and have AI run the show. Said AI which only intensifies the absolute worst parts of social media. I don't see the good in that. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but if that's your guy, I think you're gravely mistaken.

Probably trying to make up for the all the money he's going to lose as the result of being forced to buy. Oh well, having AI run algorithms will probably lead to an absolute shit show. Good thing I hardly ever use Twitter.

so many people will get banned and there will be nobody to review appeals. Twitter is about to take a dive. Maybe that's all part of his "master plan"

Anyone who says "good" that someone is going to lose their job is a c*nt.

Just saying.

That's never a good thing unless they're filthy rich and it won't affect their life, in which case it doesn't really matter.

these people are heartless pricks. They think every IT guy there is a Librul and that, for that reason alone, they deserve to lose their jobs and suffer the consequences of that.
Elon cuts workforces like he cuts cheese. I've experienced it first hand many times when I worked at Tesla. He's a corporate fuck. A spitting image of his dad

Heartless, maybe, thoughtless, definitely.

There's no well conceived argument for celebrating job cuts.

If you owned a company, I'm sure you would agree that removing militant commies from your organization is a great thing. Do you think they go to work and do their job like everyone else?

It wouldn't bother me if they dyed their hair blue and had a Marx flag on there desk, but they're activists and actively work to poison the well and co-opt the company. Have people like that in long enough and all the productive people in your company get fired or see the writing on the wall and leave.

Woke activists are poison to any business, and I'm sure twitter has a million of them.

So you know enough about the employees of Twitter to say they're all militant commies? They're all IT workers and office support workers who work to earn a wage and feed their families. This isn't a cult where people donate all their time and money for a cause. Do you paint everything with a single colored brush?

oh it's heartless. trust me. He really doesn't care. His low social-skills Aspergers driven ass wonders why everyone doesn't just eat spaghetti and peanut butter sandwhiches and take showers at the local gym to live. He can't think outside of his own perceptions, and lacks any empathy to understand that the vast majority of people work to live and not the other way around. He can fuck off. I wasted so many years working 70 plus hour weeks to hit near impossible quarterly targets for what amounted to empty promises, only to see many of my friends doing the same let go. I got out of there before it would be my turn. By the end, I wouldn't even read the emails he would send out because I knew it was all bullshit.

You want BezGOAT wannabe to ruin the lives of thousands of hard working middleclass Americans because he has a shitty political view?

You have a shitty political view.

I'm sure he knows a bit more about running businesses than you.

He's pretty garbage to work for. I had a couple of developer friends that worked for spaceX out of college to pad the resume then bounced when they got a higher paying gig. Shit benefits, mediocre pay, and expected overtime.

I worked at Tesla for a few years. Can confirm.

my guy? you should try looking at the world differently, not everyone's on one side.
twitter currently pushes a worldview dynamics i despise. if musk comes along and throws a wrench in it, that's just great. my desire fulfilled. and i don't give a shit about what others say about my motivations. i don't even use twitter except for looking at art accounts. i never made one post there in my life, and i have the account for 10 years.

the idea that you can be on the internet all day and push towards meaningful human interaction is nonsense. it's the height of naivete. the only way we'd increase human interaction is if we smashed the entire internet forever. so there's something else behind that motivation.

i'd love to see him buy it because i like watching a bit of chaos ensue. and the idea that he's somehow worse than others, please. they're all a bunch of inhuman creeps. and the big posters on twitter are inhuman creeps too. slowly decomposing between acid-like hatred and playing the virtuous role while yelling for cancelling this or that, deplatforming, endlessly cruel. you think any of that deserves protection? fuck that, let musk come and burn it all down.

i don't give a shit about balance and neither do any of the ones opposing the sale. people just love to virtue signal and camouflage their real intentions - oh, we'll have more algorithms regulating our lives - yeah right, you don't give a shit about that, you care that maybe it's the algorithm that you don't agree with.

lol at the pearl clutching in this thread. If some leftie billionaire bought MyPillow and said he was going to lay off 75% of their workers, would the posters ITT remain consistent?

Lefties don't care about the company and those who work for them. Or they do and wouldn't wish them harm because they're just trying to earn a living.

The MyPillow guy is an idiot though. He's the one going out there and making himself look bad. MyPillow employees have nothing to do with it.

Yes everyone is a girlieman except you. Society confirmed in collapse.
Please save us brave strong intelligent bruin. You are the Obi Wan of social media.

All I said it that people are sensitive. When did I say this was going to lead to societal collapse?

I don’t have a Twitter and Musk buying it certainly won’t convince me to get one.

You’re one sarcastic mofo lol
 
There’s a big inflation and tax’s on businesses went up he’s thinking longer term, let’s go Brandon
 
Does anyone notice how Elon once made it his life mission to save the planet by electrifying transportation, and now he doesn't say a single thing about it? It's as if the environment never mattered, and all that mattered was his brand early on to con people into buying a car with his "world-saving" hype. Elon's brand has shifted majorly since he called that British diver a :eek::eek::eek::eek:. That's when he started having contempt for the general population and decided to go full Bond villain.
