It’s a corporate snuff film.

That whole thing looks and sounds like porn. 

Xcrement. 

They almost certainly did, but testing doesn’t guarantee success. It just improves the odds of finding design and manufacturing defects before launch. Lots of things have undergone extensive testing and still failed in the field. Galileo being one of the better known examples. And there are limits to what you can test…

Add onto all of that his desire for video to be a big part of things and how X relates to video content...

This comment applies to every crypto guy.  

this guy must be just awful to be around

Remand the SOB to Rikers.

The studios will absolutely learn all the wrong lessons from this, least among them being that Greta Gerwig or Christopher Nolan are not easily replicable.

He will top it.

So the lesson the studios will learn from Barbie is probably “people want brightly colored movies about toys”

...it appears that film audiences are excited to support films from directors, writers, and actors that create challenging, exciting, and novel art.

I dunno, the blue check crowd still seems firmly up his ass. Saw a gif last night of someone ordering a flight to Mars on a credit card sized X tablet.

It’s a lot simpler than that. It’s basically like George Lucas meets the Peter Principal. Early on there were people to check Elon’s self destructive impulses and terrible ideas (“no George, we can’t have all the characters in Star Wars speak Japanese like you want.”). But when he got more powerful he surrounded…

Did AIMusk write this?

So... why not start your own social media website and call it X.com? Why spend $44 billion on an established company, with a world-renowned brand identity, and throw away the branding? It would be like a billionaire buying McDonalds, and immediately replacing the golden arches logo with something else.

Twitter’s reputation is so bad that I suspect that Elon hopes new people will sign up for X... not knowing it’s the same old sh*t, just in a different bag.

Good, it should have been rebranded day 1 when he started manipulating the app in his favor. This more menacing, dystopian-like logo suits the app much better now.

Looks like a knock off symbol you’d use to get around the film censors in showing a Swastika on your Nazi-like adversaries/protagonists on an old SFF TV movie.
