Oh no!..anyway…
Based on that interview, he thinks this is only because of his own comments and tweets. He doesn’t recognize that it is because he allowed all the shitty people back on the platform. It’s not just his tweets that are an issue for advertisers, it’s the rise in anti-Semitism and racism across the platform as a whole after he brought back everyone that was banned for it previously.
This is exactly what everyone predicted would happen, and either he honestly can’t see it, or he refuses to acknowledge that he could have been wrong about it.
There’s a reason nearly every company handling social media moderates those discussions out, because advertisers don’t want to be associated with shitty opinions.
This was so hard to watch. He comes off just fully crazy to me.
Is he really delulu enough to think “earth” will not immediately blame him and his terrible leadership for why the company is going under?
It almost sounds like he’s trying to build a case to sue these advertisers—like he’s somehow owed their business, but that’s just as crazy. I just can’t get a hold on wtf is going through his mind here.
I think what most people are forgetting is that this dude’s wealth is $250,000,000,000. If you counted one dollar of his money every second it would take you 8,000 years to count it all.
He could retire tomorrow, sell everything, throw his cash in a term deposit and literally make $60,000 a day in interest or $30M a year.
He doesn’t have to give a shit about any consequence of anything, ever. He can bankrupt 100 businesses, get sued 1000 times, buy a chain of small islands, and still be filthy rich enough to retire on an armada of super yachts with unlimited coke and super models, while still launching rockets into space for shits and gigs until he’s 100.
When Musk was contemplating purchasing Twitter, I said the greatest act of humanitarianism he could do would be to buy it and shut it off.
Seems like he is doing just that… Only very slowly.
I mean, we do get to watch him slowly melt down a portion of his fortune and dignity along the way. I’m just hoping he’ll find some way to flush another 40B down the twatter hole somehow.
Hey Elon,
- Earth doesn’t give a shit if your awful site lives or dies.
- It’s you who’s killing it. Take some responsibility.
- No need to document ‘everything’. We can see it play out in real time.
- All the ‘fact finding’ visits to Israel in the world aren’t going to magically unsay what you said
That’s excellent progress.
Elon Musk being an asshole is not “news”. Can we please just start ignoring that piece of shit instead of posting every god damn article about him all over Lemmy?
It’s almost like there’s a voting system, and you can…like…you know…ignore it.
Always blows my mind how fucking whiny people are about the shit they see on a crowd-sourced platform. Get a hobby, my dude.
I downvoted it and also felt the desire to express my opinion in a comment. What else is the point of a comment section if not to comment on the content of the post?
I find it a bit ironic that you left a comment to “whine” about “whiny” people when you could have followed your own advice by voting on my comment and ignoring it.

Huh? I really don’t understand where all this came from. I’m not trying to “control the internet and the rest of the entire world”. I asked if we could all ignore Musk rather than give him so much attention all the time. If you disagree, that’s fine. Clearly, a lot of other people here do also, so I suspect that we will continue to see articles posted about anything and everything Elon Musk does. And that’s fine. That’s how this whole platform is intended to work. But that doesn’t mean I also shouldn’t express that I am tired of seeing “news” about the guy and would rather it stop.

You’re right. Saying “I’m tired of seeing so much shit about Musk” is the same as “Musk did nothing wrong and it’s actually everyone else’s fault that he’s an asshole.” You’re too smart for me. I can’t believe I thought that I’d outfox you and everyone else here.
At least you took the L with grace -
Twitter slowly dying is definitly something I want to stay updated on.
