Elon Musk Buys X (formerly Twitter): Just Use Bluesky, Threads, or Mastodon Instead

Maybe if someone takes over from Elon they will hire them back.

Elon will still own it. So any new CEO is just a figurehead.

Then what was the point of the question? Seems to me that by asking he's suggesting there would be changes if he left.

Who the **** knows. It could be him trying to get a hit of dopamine by getting proof he really is popular. Or it could be a way to appease Tesla investors who are going to be very, very cranky next week.

 

[Iceman]

He is craving any way to publicly prove he really is popular after that Chappelle show incident. And if the vote fails he can pretend to look magnanimous by respecting it and then has a get out clause to put some other stoooge up there as CEO (following his orders to the letter) to take any future hits.

Just saw some estimates that Musk could take a $30B hit on his Twitter investment.

 

[Holy Slapper]

So he lost the vote, over 17 million voted, 57,5% want someone else to lead Twitter. Will he stick to his own word?

 

[Sithborg]

Tesla had hit a 145 low so far today. Recovered a bit, but I think I'm going to keep a tab open just to watch....

Oppenheimer downgrades Tesla stock, calls sentiment 'severely damaged' on Musk drama

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

MusQ has been ignoring that he lost his straw poll to remain at Twitter and has retweeted conspiracy theories about bots rigging the poll and says future polls will be for Twitter subscribers only (poll tax).

A week ago Musk claimed bots were dead on Twitter with an image of a grave.

Damn Christopher, you didn't have to kill him.

I love that Elon keeps everyone angry, frustrated, and guessing what his motives might be. This is a total clown show, but at least its entertaining watching all these self-important people wallowing in their enormous egos. Great theater. (and free!)

Twitter is set to crash and burn soon and I frankly can't wait to see it happen. It's been a long time in coming.

No one is confused by the bigot's motivations.

But it certainly is amusing.

I'd be a bit more amused, if it wasn't hurting so many trans creators.

I'm sure his actions on twitter won't support this at all.

What do the Power Rangers have to do with this?
