It's true, I saw it in the news
I heard he'd institute felchies for $8

Oh fuck. He's going to bring rong back? Say it ain't so.
There'll be a vote on it.
Time to spool up my peedee bots to fuck the polling up.
It wasn't about the money. I said I didn't think much of him, once, in passing here. Well a manhole cover slid open and out he popped looking heartbroken. He's been showing up at my home begging me to hang out, look at his jacket etc.
It's become a neusance, I agreed to sell him the site on the condition he stops begging me to like him
He'll never stop. Which you and I both know is a breach of contract, but he doesn't know what that is.
You should have at least held out to where he turned up to your house with his own sink (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/oct/26/elon-musk-twitter-visit-sink).

If you'd said that a week or two ago, I might have doubted you.
But Elon, with his own words, has convinced me that he is utterly incompetent when it comes to management, software development, or running a social media company, and that he is blissfully unaware of that incompetence.
Why shouldn't he be ignorant of basic law as well?
So, when Elon switches PD to a pay-per-post model, where are we remaining denizens exodizing to?
himeobs.org seems like a lovely candidate, and I suspect that one of you already owns it. And if not, well, party-crashing is a discordian tradition.

This is the equivalent of gamer culture where they get a cowboy hat, pipe or other prop to carry around with them, desperate for someone to ask about it

Sweet merciless Goddess. He's making the kinds of mistakes I would expect if someone was promoted into upper management fresh out of college.

Oh yes. Given how many of them are fans of declaring things "cringe", so many of fans somehow don't see this behaviour as absolutely cringeworthy.

He seems to think that because Twitter is HQ'd in California, California labour laws apply globally.
Which is, uh, an
interesting legal interpretation, as my solicitor friends would say.
you cant fire people by email inEeurope with no notice
To fire someone from a permanent position you must have 2 written warnings on record, and then dismissal can happen or you go to the Labour court with notice of collective redundancies (which stops a company hiring back, if you make people redundant and then expand you must offer the original people their jobs back), this step was skipped.
This resulted in people being fired by email (grey area legally), and un-fired (again by Email), giving a nice impressing of calming stability. So the most talented are looking for jobs immediately, which means what he will be left with are the people who couldn't jump ship in time.

He seems to have a humiliation kink.

Is this actually a thing? I assumed people carrying/wearing odd things were just doing it for the vibes, like I do.
I'm pretty sure it actually comes originally from PUA circles (though given the PUA/manosphere/toxic gamer culture overlap that's not saying much). Some of the older guides definitely talk about having a "prop" to initiate conversations with people.
There's a difference between being a magnet for strage, for it to emminate from you
and the other for you to otherwise be so desperate to be seen to be strange by use of a single prop.
He was DYING for someone to ask him about the sink
He's just mad that Pop Tart got banned.

Hooray. Well, I wish them luck with that. I only get drunk freaks asking about my shit, and the one and only time that happened I briefly inhabited "horror movie antagonist" while buying cigarettes, as the two drunks convinced themselves that I was a dead person. (Still one of my proudest moments.)
That is admittedly bragworthy. But yeah, regardless of origin it does seem like the kinda dumb thing Musk would be into, or pretend to be into to impress The Cool Kids (why he thinks Nazis are cool kids is also a discussion worth having)

"Rich white boy raised in the Apartheid era" might have a lot to do with that.
Oh, for sure. But someone should push him into a locker and beat him up for his lunch money.
I want somebody to shove his head in a toilet and put it on TikTok.

It's 2028. Twitter is the go to platform for incels worldwide. Full length hentai body pillow sales spike beyond capacity. Trumps cyogenically preserved head is both the new logo and server farm after janky Jonny Mnemnoic shennagins become possible. Every 6 months or so, a wicker man style ceremony has become needed to add brains to the jar for additional RAM. Somehow, this dilutes the original intelligence so it no can do little more than blink out the semaphore for "HATE-JEWS". This is considered a feature, not a bug.
Around 2042, the ceremonies are multi participant, highly eleborate and the brain mass is capabale of subsuming whole busses of fuckers at a time. Thanks to the great trench project it's largely confined to Asia due to legal issues. Child sex offences now happen on a city wide scale commited entirely by one entity having absorbed the most foul and deliquent minds of the last decades. The background hum within 15 miles is unsettling. A thousand different voice all muttering just slightly out of sync. "Peterson must be smart because no one else went to Russia to cripple themselves. You can't eat that much meat and be dumb. He has bionic shins now so whats the problem".
The eventual sociatal collapse is seen as a blessing by the remaining humans. The experiment conclusively failed.
Probably the best case scenario tbh.
I'm just waiting for someone to spark an actual genocide, Radio Rwanada-style, and a bunch of carefully prepared and "verified" fake news feeds to sweep in and claim the victims are in fact the aggressors, and aggressively promote that lie through botfarms.
Yeah, I agree. When, not if. Waters are already being tested.
