Haha I knew what the clip was going to be before I even clicked it.
Musk's awkward dance moves definitely fit right in with rich tech company execs/founders. I would imagine Zuckerberg would look at least equally as ridiculous if he had been programmed with a dancing subroutine.

Sam Rockwell did a fantastic riff on this in Iron Man 2.

Charismatic Twitter CEO, who I'm pretty sure isn't a robot or a hostage, announces Twitter/X is suing companies for not doing business with them.
They're arguing it was a conspiracy/anti-trust thing. I'll let the lawyers speak to that. As a layman, my response is "nanner nanner boo boo."
(for the record, I still use X and love it but cry me a river.)

It's a conspiracy when people don't give me money, too.

It's also a conspiracy when you get hair plugs, pretend to be a genius, get botox, dance like a weirdo and refuse to be a parent to one of your kids haha

He told advertisers to go beep themselves. Now he's suing them because they did exactly what he said. I imagine that will be big part of their defense.

The thing about being the richest person in the world is that you can sue whoever you want, whenever you want.

I don’t have enough antitrust knowledge to determine whether there is merit to the suit’s claim of unlawful collusion, but I will say that the CEO’s message speaks of freedom, and choosing where and where not to spend your advertising dollars is very much an exercise in freedom. Also, for some reason opening the message with “Hey Everybody” threw me off. Just sounded weird for a CEO message.

I think it was one of the Green brothers that explained the difference as: "Twitter is the service I use to communicate with my circle and where I get information from my trusted online news sources. But the cesspool of porn bots, alt-right propaganda, and crypto scams, that is X."

That’s the thing about litigation. If you can survive an immediate motion to dismiss, which most cases do, you get to do discovery (emails, texts, memos, etc.) and that may very well be the purpose of the lawsuit.

The danger for Musk is that that goes both ways. He doesn’t seem like the most cautious guy so who knows what kind of communications from Musk might turn up.

Probably the same online desperados that forced Linda Yaccarino to make this video.
I don't think this is a deep fake video.
Also, Musk's own Grok AI summed up his skills as an interviewer

“Ferguson based his assessment on internal second-quarter figures recently obtained by the New York Times. According to this report, X booked $114 million worth of revenue in the U.S., its largest market by far. This represented a 25% drop over the preceding three months and a 53% drop over the year-ago period.
That already sounds bad. But it gets worse. The last publicly available figures prior to Musk’s acquisition, from Q2 of 2022, had revenue at $661 million. After you account for inflation, revenue has actually collapsed by 84%, in today’s dollars.
No one knows how much longer X can survive, since the company doesn’t release financial results. But in November, Musk himself admitted X could face bankruptcy due to the advertiser boycott. “

Elon Musk may have to sell billions in Tesla stock to rescue X
Plunging U.S. revenue at X risks opening up a "massive hole" on its balance sheet that Musk needs to plug to stave off its financial collapse.

Yeah but at least he completely removed any bias from the platform and its leadership.“Ferguson based his assessment on internal second-quarter figures recently obtained by the New York Times.

You know, I'm starting to think this ketamine might not be good for humans. Maybe drugs created for tranquilizing horses should, you know, remain with four legged animals that weigh 1,000 Lbs.....

You guys don’t get it. This is about free speech in the online town square, not revenue and profits.

You're right. Sorry. I hadn't taken my Woke Mind Virus antibiotic when I made that last post. I'm better now.
Not sure if this is sarcasm or not...

He means it sarcastically, but unless you own stock in Twitter or work at Twitter, it's true unironically.

Musk bought all the stock at $54/Share. Former shareholders have to feel a great sense of relief because I'm guessing the share price today would be somewhere well south of $54/Share.

Just straight destroying $500MM a quarter is hard to get your head around. And that doesn't include the underlying decline in value.
He's worth $236.5 Billion, he doesn't care.
CletiusMaximus
Footballguy
Maybe, but he also has a massive ego and it seems his self-worth is substantially based on public perception, as filtered through social media.
CGRdrJoe
Footballguy
it's frightening how many people hang on every word he says on there, they could care less that he posts 24/7 7 days a week. Some how they throw logic out that a person could live without ever sleeping, **** even meth heads crash after a few days...
AAABatteries

Yeah, the idea that he cares about free speech is a total joke as he's proven over and over. But when you have that kind of money - who cares? If he stays in his lane with moving tech forward that's great - but nobody should take the guy seriously as he's shown what he's about.

Billion a year is the interest, just the interest, on paying back the purchase price for Twitter. That's before he pays back the other 40 billion or whatever that he owes.
The idea that wealthy people are fine with sucking chest wounds of bad investments because they 'can afford it' is not very realistic. It's not the way people with money behave.
AAABatteries
Footballguy
Not sure I agree because I don't think he's a typical person with money - if he spends a billion a year and in 30 years is worth 200 Billion I don't think he would care. Either way, I imagine he'll eventually get bored with it and sell it.
Capella

Yea man billionaires famously love throwing away billions of dollars.
AAABatteries
Footballguy
There's 700 something billionaires in the US - he's one of the most well known and most odd compared with his peers. Trying to make predictions on what he may or may not do is literally just guessing.
Capella
Footballguy
I’m not predicting what he’ll do I have no idea at all. I do know he doesn’t like losing that kind of money though.
AAABatteries
Footballguy
I don't think anybody think he does. But I do think he's more concerned with social and family issues than whether he loses 1 Billion this year on Twitter.
Eephus
Footballguy
He doesn't seem particularly interested in his own family
AAABatteries
Footballguy
Don’t want to veer in to discussion that’s not allowed but I’d say it’s actually shaped his worldview and why he’s doing some of this. Whether that means he’s interested or not in his own family I’ll leave up to others.
massraider
Footballguy
Like his own family maybe
His child
I must say, when it comes to being GOOD AT TWITTER, which Elon definitely is, his kid is a chip off the old block!
