Loved this movie.

[GradyPhilpott]

Can someone translate that for me.

I couldn't understand a word.

My hearing is failing and without closed-captions, I'm lost.

[GradyPhilpott]

Okay, I can see that Musk is carrying a sink and that he must have said something to the effect of, "Let that sink in."

Is there more?

[Chewbacca]

He’s trolling Twitter employees. Upset he’s being held to the agreement he signed. Will get revenge and help finance the deal by firing 75% of employees. Dumpster fire ensues. Popcorn stocks and corn futures skyrocket.

He had a billion dollar walk away... that certainly seems like the lessor of two evils and the +EV play for someone that really didn't want this corporation.

Elon has a vision, one that probably incorporates blockchain technology, and Jack Dorsey also has a vision... one that involves being able to take your immutable history along with your personal reputation and tipping/earning profile with you as you transition from platform to platform instead of being locked to a platform and weak from a security standpoint.

That's quite brilliant.

He’s hot mess with way too much money and influence for his own good.

You know, I can’t decide. There are times when I feel the same way you do, and other times I think he is pure genius.

I am with you on this one.

I think Elon is one lightning bolt away from becoming a comic book super villain.

I wanted to reach out personally to share my motivation in acquiring Twitter. There has been much speculation about why I bought Twitter and what I think about advertising. Most of it has been wrong.

The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society.

In the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized extremes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost.

That is why I bought Twitter. I didn't do it because it would be easy.

I didn't do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love.

And I do so with humility, recognizing that failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.

That said, Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences!

In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature.

I also very much believe that advertising, when done right, can delight, entertain and inform you; it can show you a service or product or medical treatment that you never knew existed, but is right for you.

For this to be true, it is essential to show Twitter users advertising that is as relevant as possible to their needs. Low relevancy ads are spam, but highly relevant ads are actually content!

Fundamentally, Twitter aspires to be the most respected advertising platform in the world that strengthens your brand and grows your enterprise.

To everyone who has partnered with us, I thank you. Let us build something extraordinary together.

There are far less wealthy people with more influence than Elon. He gets dinged heavily for being an independent thinker with Asperger’s rather than a glad handing insider. The elite think he shares way too much information with the plebs. They just tried (and failed) to #MeToo him a few months back, and now his Twitter buy will be attacked on multiple fronts by entities private, public, foreign and domestic. He’s about to feel the full weight of the machine.

I love the man.

Just because you get one thing right doesn’t mean that’s true for each and every stupid little thing you can possibly can come up with.

He’s gotten more than one thing right.

[joeychitwood]

“Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequence.”

Isn’t that the policy now? It is, but the current owners have a different political bent than Elon. What he allows will be determined by his politics. His claim of a digital town square for free discussion remains to be seen.

I'm not disagreeing with you.

Although I think he's gotten to where is is, by making more than one thing right

God bless you Elon, that company needs a total shakeup. It gives me some hope...

Yup. Dangerous. Too much money and influence.

His cheerleaders seem to be people who want/need autocrats.

It's all fun and games until it isn't.

[enjoythemusic]

But it's not fun and games now Blanksy.

How about we try another way?

I imagine so, but no matter how good he is that doesn’t mean he knows everything and that was my point.

He certainly appears to have gotten a rather large head and a very big mouth. It might not hurt if he stepped into this time. Not a fan of Twitter and those type of social media programs anyway. Although I don’t think that will stop him from speaking on things he knows little about.

Really, really now. He wants to save humanity for a digital town square. I think folks are so trapped by their thinking, they can't see its social medial that created the current polarized climate that we live in and that tech/social media/computers are not going to save the world indeed its tearing us apart in front of our very eyes.
