The awesome Taylor Lorenz reports this on Mastadon. Highly recommend to follow her if you like these updates about what’s going on.
That man is repeatedly showing the world how stupid he actually is and how little he actually understands about running a company. He has never been in a situation like this where he wasn’t surrounded by a bunch of people playing babysitter and doing all the leg work to try to actually get his shit ideas to work. IIRC I saw somewhere this morning that he hadn’t even figured out what to call tweets and retweets, he really hadn’t thought any further than changing the logo and repeating the same lame idea he had 30 years ago.
ABAM (All Billionaires Are Morons)
Or all billionaires are scum who have written the laws and ensured that the fine for this is no more than an annoyance and removing the sign without a permit was a worthwhile risk and the right call to make.
This guy gets it.
I think “all billionaires are scum” is perhaps too harsh, but it’s far closer to the truth than the views of society at large.
You cannot become a billionaire without being a scummy person.
Rowling became a billionaire by writing popular books and selling the movie rights. She’s a scummy person, obviously, but she didn’t become rich by being one.
Most of the Harry Potter stories are stolen/copies of either existing young adult novels or existing mythology. There’s very little original material or concepts. All writers borrow from other writers, but Rowling is just barely better than a plagiarist.
Yeah you definitely can become a billionaire without being a scummy person, just not trough business. You need to be an artist or athlete.
Definitely not going to be a CEO without being a piece of shit. You need that lack of ethics to make it that high.
Too harsh? Can you name one that isn’t?
I’m pretty sure that future billionaire me seems like a cool guy, I’m totally not biased.
Eat the rich, except if I become rich, then I’m exempt because I am a honorary proletariat
/s but seriously tho, if anyone becomes a billionaire, they’ll soon get corrupted by the wealth
IIRC I saw somewhere this morning that he hadn’t even figured out what to call tweets and retweets
Obviously Tweet -> Xeet 💩
Let me xeet that
Serious question: why do you need to get a permit to change a sign on your own building?
Can we now start pronouncing X as ‘errrr’ when referring to the company? It would be good not to taint the good name of the letter entirely.
And it does say ‘er’ on the side of not-his-building.
Oh man can you imagine how great this would be if they got hit with a 3 day eviction notice for damaging the property?
That would be so fucking funny
The miniseries on Twitter’s collapse is going to be epic.
Get a black dude (or even better a black lady) to play Musk and watch the entire right spontaneously combust.
But why though? Why the insistence on portraying people in documentaries or biographies as someone completely different? Why not do a biography on a black dude or black lady who can be played by such instead of trying to change the race of historical figures for fun?
People don’t generally do that. If you’re referring to Hamilton, it was not a documentary or a biography. And historically white people did that all the time in plays/movies for entertainment, so why get all angry about it now that it’s not white people?
Netflix’s Cleopatra comes to mind.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_race_controversy Her race is actually heavily debated by historians, so that’s not a very clear cut example.
Queen Cleopatra is a very recent example.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_race_controversy Her race is actually heavily debated by historians, so that’s not a very clear cut example.
From the article you linked it seems that historians by and large agree she was of Greek descent with a bit of Persian ancestry, and a bunch of laypeople are heavily debating them on it.
Holy shit man. That joke was strapped into a car, stuck on a rocket, and blasted so far over your head it’s circling the sun.
“Joke”
Nobody seemed to mind when the History Channel docuseries FDR came out with a British actor without a mobility disability as FDR.
Why is it that the series produced by an black female actor starring a black female actor needs such stringent accuracy controls?
Never heard of it. How many alien conspiracies does it contain?
Not that it isn’t fun to laugh at what a boondoggle
TwitterX is, but why do you need a permit to change a sign on a building?Normal procedure to make sure it’s within legal standards.
Yeah, if I have to choose who is worse between Musk and Taylor Lorenz, 100% Taylor Lorenz takes the cake.
