Allowing Elon Musk to run a company is like electing a kid who thinks the government should give everyone free icecream and make crime ok on Thursdays.

Someone needs to find him a role where he can feel like he's helping without getting in everyone else's way.

All the employees left are just doing what he says without any questions. It's becoming malicious compliance and I love it.

"You want our recognizable blue bird to be replaced by an X?... You're the boss!!"

He fired everyone who tried to question him on the spot, sometimes even by public tweets.

Since his acquisition shenanigans started, I felt like that was like a spoiled billionaire kid who didn't get the reverence he thought he deserved from a waiter, then proceeded to buy the restauran chain just to close it.

Twitter had a great thing going on. It was not perfect but I never thought it would get absolutely ruined in such a short amount of time

Yeah, the part after “all the birds” that he forgot to type is “because climate change is going to kill them all and my billionaire ass is headed to Mars, fuck you, got mine!”

I'm happy to stay on the climate doomed Earth while you can take my spot on Mars.

Yeah, both are a death sentence, but at least on Earth you won't be shitting in Tupperware as soon.

Lol, spend billions to make a brand. Then overhype it, pay inflated price to acquire said brand and now decide to kill the brand. Master genius!

Buy high sell low. He must have learned from r/wallstreetbets

Why is Musk obsessed with the letter X anyway? It's like he saw two lines and said, "this is the pinnacle of mankind!"
