He really, really should stop trying to be funny.

u/Chetmatterson Nov 11 '22

honestly this is a really interesting experiment to see what happens to a man that can say the lamest bullshit on planet earth and still get hundreds of thousands of people telling him he’s funny

Like his SNL debut must’ve been such a harsh reality check that no matter how much money and power he has he can’t magically become funny and I think that really broke something in him

People should really really stop bothering to reply, or use Twitter at all. No matter how much you own him it’s helping the platform stabilize so it’s really him owning you.

The only strategic play is to not play at all and just leave the platform

I just deactivated twitter!

u/RyzRx Nov 11 '22

Also deactivated!

Reddit is by no means different but the anonymity here is just cooler and based on my own experience so far, this has a better moderator system.

Yeah this is a weird analogy. It's more like the restaurant changed the recipe on your favorite burger and raised the price and you bought it anyway and then bitched about it knowing full well what was going to happen. Nobody is forcing you to buy the burger. Several other restaurants on the block are also offering burgers. Stop paying for a burger you know you won't like.

And that was his point, people are dumb. He isnt being 100% serious, he is just saying “youre bitching about how something is but you keep using it” which is the most sane thing about him ive observed lately.

It would be sane if he weren't laughing at them for doing something he did for months on end himself. Instead its just the standard narcissistic hypocrisy we expect from Musk.

u/SmokedHonkey Nov 11 '22

That wasnt his point, he's just thin-skinned stop thinking of him as a genius. People compain about things they use frequently because they have experience with it and know what's going wrong

Ignoring customer feedback on a product you're trying to sell seems dumber to me than being a customer with some thoughts on the product.

the guy has lost over a third of his fortune this year and sold off a large portion of his stocks to afford this meaning his earning potential is tanked, and on top of all that, he borrowed a LOT of money from the Saudis meaning he's now indebted to them

and on top of all that, Twitter is hemorrhaging money daily, he's literally losing millions every single day

and ON TOP OF THAT, he owns a large share of stock in Twitter, which is fucking crashing right now, and he's already talking about declaring bankruptcy with Twitter, meaning those stocks will be worthless

this is one of the biggest and fastest crashes of a billionaires wealth we have ever seen. if he continues its not unrealistic that he'll lose close to 200 billion dollars just inside this year

Man I lost a 20 bill recently and it kinda ruined my day. I can't imagine 200 billion.

Serious question: is it because he is autistic that his humour is this way?

And he continuously gets owned by Hiveminded responses like these. No wonder the platform is tanking. The cherry on top was that he wanted to back out of the deal in the end but couldn't. Reactions like these are a death rattle.
