Not just an idea that anyone could tell you is a bad idea, everyone DID tell him it was a bad idea. Except the trolls who wanted to pay for a blue check to be able to get priority messaging to make it easier to harass people. They said it was a great one. And he listened to them, because he is one.

Two words: potty training.

I’m pretty sure diarrhea will stick to walls much better than a solid poop. Don’t ask how I know...

If he followed that advice he wouldn’t have bought/attempted to buy/put in a ridiculously high offer/tried to renege on said offer/sue to get out of said offer in the first place.

Did we work at the same ‘start-up’?

Will Elmo in hell do?

Throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks doesn’t work well when you’re slinging nothing but diarrhea, Elon.

I worked for a guy like this, who every month had some new way of disrupting his own place. He really seemed to think if everyone was as uncomfortable as possible that would boost productivity. It was one of the worst experiences of my life and we are still suffering at work from everything he f---ed up

“Behold, the Twitter of the future!”

The world is ready for a flailing Elon meme.

Disruption works as a strategy when it’s other peoples buisness model that you’re disrupting. When you’re disrupting your own business model, that’s called flailing.

but hes not a brilliant engineer.  hes just a carnival barker.  spacex is thriving in spite of elon. and teslas engineers cant stand him.  hes not popular here in austin and people only go there to have it on their resume and they start looking at other places immediately. 

What if we mail CDs to everyone in the world with a copy of the Twitter client. We then give them like 300 hours of free Twitter access and after those 300 hours we get them to pay a monthly fee.

Fan boy tears taste wonderful.

Stop. I can’t. Take this. Anymore.

The only positive there would be the harm to his personal wealth and business profile, but even that’s mitigated by the fact that people that wealthy are like cockroaches and he’ll never suffer any real harm or consequences, he’ll just move onto the next grift.

he really is fast tracking the demise of Twitter isnt he? ive seen people make this joke before but i’m honestly starting to believe it now.
