Go fund yourself.
He just got approved for that big $40+ billion compensation package from Tesla so he’s got lots to work with.
A single billion is an obscene amount of money for an individual, I can’t fathom how anyone can be worth/earn a billion in a couple of years.
He works really really hard ;)
Yeah, you guys try making 20-30 xitposts a day. He deserves pay that is best expressed in scientific notation.
Can’t remember the last time I was on Twitter. Turns out I don’t need it. Turns out I’m just a little happier without it.
I wish some politicians, artists, and scientists that I used to follow used Mastodon.
Elon, yangot a 50 bil payout, just finance your dogshit website.
The problem is that his payout, like the rest of his fortune, is in exceedingly overvalued Tesla stock. So using that to finance Twitter means selling, and every time he sells the price takes a hard dip because Tesla investors know they’re standing on a soap bubble and they are extremely nervous about it bursting. Any sudden uptick in sales pressure is liable to cause a small avalanche of investors abandoning ship.
The process of buying Twitter alone cut his net worth by half because of how much it cratered the Tesla stock price.
Hahah, so him personally bailing out Twitter with a cash infusion would kill Tesla in the process?
What a world.
aw, he may be a genocide loving nazi, but at least its from the heart. won’t someone give him some money?
What do you mean ? (sources)
Google “Elon Musk Nazi”, and/or “Elon Musk genocide”
Google “any name Nazi” and you’ll get results. The question was what are you referring to.
Also, I can’t believe this community would down vote anyone for asking for sources, that’s disgusting. I’m disappointed Lemmy.
If you’re so disgusted and disappointed, why don’t you try to find a different community?
It’s hard to feel disappointed about something you don’t really care about. That is to say, the reason I feel disappointed is because I like this community and I want it to be a place for civil discourse. Conversely, I’ve given up on Reddit, so nothing that happens there can really disappoint me any more, I no longer care about it.
I’m not going to make a fuss about something that doesn’t impact me, but I will make a fuss about something I believe in, like Lemmy.
“I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department,” he admitted.
He’s been brainwashed by his fans if he thinks that somehow makes it better.
Like, authenticy is good for good things, but it makes shitty things even shittier. It’s not a value that’s always good in every context. And the worst thing he could be doing is doubling down on his opinions and policy.
If he left the company is the only way this would help, he wouldn’t even be a fall guy because most of this is entirely his fault
Like, authenticy is good for good things, but it makes shitty things even shittier.
sounds like he needs that PR department
That’s pretty much how he kept the public image of “eccentric genius” for so many years. I once read an article (can’t remember where, don’t care enough to search) that said that SpaceX had/has a team whose entire purpose was to babysit Musk when he had a temper tantrum. The team formed organically, like a cyst around a foreign object, and minimized damage to PR.
When Twitter was infested, it didn’t have this immunity and now the world (or those of us who care) knows how much of a shithead he is.
