I imagine this would have gone down better on his 40 billion priced personal soap box, rather than a conference of exec including some of the CEOs already worried about brand damage.

It’s just a plaything to him, and he’s enjoying upsetting its fans.

but given he's launching self-described “thermonuclear lawsuits” against non-profits whom he blames for scaring advertisers, has just returned from a virtue-signalling tour in Israel with Netanayu looking sombre at massacre sites to try to demonstrate to fleeing advertiser that he's really not some antisemitic conspiracy theorist and must have accidentally reposted those antisemitic tweets, it's easy to do, you know?
...maybe he cares just a little bit?

But on his need for attention we’re agreed

It's not the liberal tears he likes, it's the gentle lapping of the fash tongues at his scrotum.

His brand was Mr TED talk big tech future business guy.
His handling of Twitter has shown himself to be someone who doesn't understand basic tech or business, and who is a massive racist. Ratnered his own reputation.

He bought it to cheer himself up and it hasn't worked. Exactly the same situation with Bezos and his rocket. Tragic men with tragic personal lives trying to take the pain away with money.

Tried to get out of the deal before it went through, didn't he?
As far as I'm aware, he got the idea from some some random alt-right account who told him to buy it. He did it for the worst possible reason... bants.

You can picture exactly what he was like at school.

Besides bringing back all the fash accounts and once swapping the logo with a Doge, it's all been enshittification in a desperate attempt to make money - not stupid shit to amuse himself and his minions.
Anyone who has made 34000+ posts despite the money to do *anything else* likes Twitter, or is at least addicted to it. He just doesn't understand it as a business.

that need to be liked. it's the quiet evil ones in the background, like the koch brothers sinking billions into climate denialism and propping up trump that are the ones I worry about. I just find the combination with musk of a billionaire with that kind of incel sensibility quite funny.
I do wonder what advertisers are after with twitter anyway. Facebook is bored idle scrolling good for selling shit. Are all the trolls, culture warriors and incels that infest twitter desperately trying to get their cutting remark liked above others really going "Sunak is a disgrace! All migrants have a legal right to.." oh, look, there's a special on Nikes..."equal treatment under law #StartTheBoats"

That's my detailed analysis, any newspapers who want to publish it can gaz me for my bank details.

Since I posted maybe some ip lawyer there realised they didn’t have the rights, or perhaps musk himself decided he didn’t like free speech as much as he thought and got all Prince on them. Doesn’t matter
it was a short bit with him on stage saying the advertisers who have pulled out can go fuxk themselves, to crickets in the audience, one that included the likes of bob iger from disney

Tesla was kind of the brand of the aspirant do-good family. Would have been in a Volvo Amazon back in the 70s. Now who the fuck wants to be seen in Space Karen’s cars? There’s a reason car manufacturers steer clear of big personalities- it puts off part of your customer base.

And to think that people buy cars from this weirdo
