      I wanted him to buy it because I knew it would finally expose that he has no idea how to run a real company with millions of customers.
      He has only ever run niche companies like Tesla, where success isn't measured in profit or units sold but in it's stock price.
      Now he's got to run a company that provides a service to millions of people across the globe and somehow keep all of them happy.
      He doesn't even understand what the point of the blue check was. You watch, he will be forced to add a new coloured checkmark for verified accounts for celebrities etc as now that blue check just means you're willing to drop $8 a month to pretend to be someone else...

      Liz Truss has resigned on October 20, 2022, the day leaving 72 days in the year. Plus, in this case, it is a date with 72 numerology...
      Jesuit Order = 72
      The Jesuits were created on August 15, or 15/8.
      Boris Johnson = 158
      B.J. replaced Theresa May 158 week after she took office
      It is also the 293rd day of the year, and her short term had everything to do with the Queen, Elizabeth, who had a history of 62.
      293, 62nd prime
      Queen = 62
      Liz Truss took office September 6, 2022, and resigned 44 days later, or on her 45th day as Prime Minister, October 20, 2022.
      Ritual = 45
      IHS = 45
      And don’t forget she took office on 9/6, two days before the Queen died at 96 (as we said she would.)
      Furthermore, today is 58 days before Pope Francis’s birthday, or a span of 59.
      Pope Francis = 59 / 58
      London England = 59 / 58
      Freemasonry = 58 / 59
      Purple Rain = 58 / 59

      @@qurqo That's not quite true. Depends on the type of work, the type of boss, the type of system, the geography and transport systems, and the type of employee. The right combination and productivity skyrockets when people can work from home, the wrong combination and it tanks. Noteworthy is that work from home systems often expose employees who weren't doing anything productive at work either, and incompitent managers who were actually making things worse rather than better... But it is worth noting that there are psychological aspects to the whole thing too. Some people work better in a more relaxed environment without other people distracting them, which could mean working from home, depending on their family situation and the way the office is organized, or it could very much mean NOT working at home for a different combination of those same factors. Likewise, some people require that very distinct separation of space between the two to focus on the relevant tasks, others can manage with as little as putting on different music in the background and be good.
      A functional work from home system can reduce how much productivity is lost if people take time off work due to certain illnesses and events, where they can't come in to the office or work a full day, but still have the time and ability to get Some work done to regular standards (compaired to forcing sick people to come in and work a full day as usual, which produces distinctly substandard work and is very likely to infect other employees and further tank productivity). And on and on the list goes.
      Very much a case of 'applied correctly to the right use cases this is very beneficial, applied badly and/or to the wrong use cases it is quite harmful'... much like a truely staggering number of other things, really.

    I feel like a comment on the blue check thing is worthwhile. It started as "I am who I say I am" and nothing else, but that changed over time.
    It later became a sort of "approved by Twitter" mark, after Twitter punished certain folks for saying certain things that Twitter felt a need to distance themselves from but weren't actually TOS violations.
    But here's the thing, it wasn't even just a "I am who I say I am and Twitter isn't trying to distance themselves from me" mark, it also had meaningful effects on your account, in terms of reach and visibility. Having a blue check meant your tweets were more visible than regular folks, blue check posts were promoted by the algorithm. There was even significant talk of employees selling blue check status under the table.
    What he should have done is have a mark that functioned as the original "I am who I say I am" purpose of the blue check, and then have a separate paid feature that gives you the extra features, extra promotion and function as a status symbol that was given blue checks and charge for *that*.

      I'm pretty sure it was all a maneuver to sell off $8 billion in Tesla stock without tanking the stock's price. Tesla was overvalued by 100% or more (as we see now that it has tanked), but Musk couldn't sell normally because if ELON MUSK sells TESLA stock, EVERYONE will panic-sell. But if he's doing it as part of the Twitter buy-out, no one panics. There was a $1 billion penalty for backing out of the deal, so he probably expected to lose that much at most, still gaining $3 billion profit.
      He tried to make $3-4 billion and has lost 30 times that (so far).

    • @pluto8404

But he cant outright sell tesla shares without losing ownership, or tanking the stock, so his next best option to essentially sell his shares, is to leverage them as collateral in buying other companies. So yes he may have lost 22billion on the twitter deal, but he profited more than that on the valuation of tesla shares he posted to the banks in collateral.

All of his promises and clever speeches are not going to help users who can't get other users to see their tweets.

    The Tesla factory in Germany:
    Yes, there are problems with the water. That factory uses a lot! For the last few years (well, close to a decade now), there was not enough rain during autumn/winter, and the groundwater levels are getting lower and lower. We are now at a point where certain crops have to be watered artificially which grew fine before and lots and lots of our old trees have been damaged by the heat/drought. More forest fires too which don't go too well with old WWII bombs that are still out there in the forests.
    He built that factory in exactly the region of Germany that is expected to be hit the worst by future droughts. Yes, it still rains here. Not nearly as much as it used to though.
    Then there were reports about him trying to prevent a union to form at the factory. The right to form a union is part of the law here, so that didn't go over well.
    He also built a few buildings without permission (I think the permission was "not yet" granted or something - still he didn't have permission).
    And then he complained that all the regulations were too much and things took too long. Our bureaucracy could use an overhaul and is overcomplicated but that is something he should have known beforehand.

      Liz Truss has resigned on October 20, 2022, the day leaving 72 days in the year. Plus, in this case, it is a date with 72 numerology...
      Jesuit Order = 72
      The Jesuits were created on August 15, or 15/8.
      Boris Johnson = 158
      B.J. replaced Theresa May 158 week after she took office
      It is also the 293rd day of the year, and her short term had everything to do with the Queen, Elizabeth, who had a history of 62.
      293, 62nd prime
      Queen = 62
      Liz Truss took office September 6, 2022, and resigned 44 days later, or on her 45th day as Prime Minister, October 20, 2022.
      Ritual = 45
      IHS = 45
      And don’t forget she took office on 9/6, two days before the Queen died at 96 (as we said she would.)
      Furthermore, today is 58 days before Pope Francis’s birthday, or a span of 59.
      Pope Francis = 59 / 58
      London England = 59 / 58
      Freemasonry = 58 / 59
      Purple Rain = 58 / 59

    He originally planned to sell it for $20, but dropped it arbitrarily to $8 after he had a brief argument with Stephen King.

      Exactly. And Musk is the most extreme case of the status quo of how billionaires behave.

      They guy wanted US government to pay for his losses in Ukraine. And his money request for 20k free accounts in Ukraine was about similar in size to what he could charge from half a million users outside of Ukraine. So magically, a Ukrainean user must be 25 times as expensive. Or Musk leaks money all over and hoped for a panic fix.
      And he donated 15k installations while US bought and donated 5k installations. But was charged 3-4 times the normal price. Indirectly financing the 15k installations that Musk "donated".
