Too much effort. I say captive bolt to the frontal lobe, leave the corpses where they lie.
Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter may soon go through
- Thread starter Specter Von Baren
- Start date
And wasting them on the Zuck or the Muskrat is an even crueller joke.
You know, I'd not be surprised if he believed his awesomeness would stop the iceberg impact from damaging it, though also not be surprised if he didn't feel like putting it to the test for some reason.
Sending the guy over a hundred years back would take way too much flux capacitor energy, just 3 to 4 weeks would be plenty to get him on the Titan submersible.
I'm sure he'd gel well with Rush and his entrepreneurial stance.

From the swiss national news :

In french. An article on how the twitter blue labels were presented as guaranteeing reliability, and are now freely used for disinformation ("hitler was right", "diversity is white genocide", "transsexuals are pedophiles", etc), all while serious sources desert the media by refusing to pay for the label. The AFP tried to question Twitter and received the automated response to all demands on that matter : a turd emoji.
La mue des comptes certifiés Twitter en promoteur d'infox
Ils étaient des gages d'authenticité et souvent de crédibilité. Ils sont désormais de puissants vecteurs de désinformation. Sur Twitter, les "badges bleus" offrent aux infox et aux théories complotistes une caisse de résonance et une visibilité inespérées.

Yes, it's a fascinating gambit.HAHAHAHAHAHA, he wants an actual Glass Onion, on the companies' dime no less.Secret Glass House For Elon Musk? Tesla Reportedly Investigated Millions Of Dollars Of Company-Funded Glass Purchases

Musk claims not to own a home, and inasmuchas he has one, it's a small $50,000 rental. However, this is bullshit because he actually lives in a friend's mansion. It's certainly an exciting gambit to build some sort of luxury housing for himself with the claim that it's a grace and favour home for the Tesla CEO, which just so happens to be him. (I'm sure at some juncture if he ever wanted to step down as Tesla CEO, at the flick of a coroprate pen it could be retooled as the grace and favour company home for its "founder".) On the other hand, Tesla is a public company, and it's far from guaranteed he'd get away with flashing out that kind of money for that purpose without a huge legal challenge.
Musk admits that Twitter has lost 50% of its ad revenue, is heavily in debt and is running at a loss:
CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THAT COULD'VE HAPPENED!

Yeah Musk bought into his own bullshit that he's some great businessman, despite his success coming from Government subsidies and not paying taxes. If the US government wasn't funding Tesla, it'd have collapsed years ago.Musk admits that Twitter has lost 50% of its ad revenue, is heavily in debt and is running at a loss:

Go ahead and try to convince me that this isn't Musk just paying people to like him.Twitter Starts Paying Some Creators Share of Ad Revenue on Invitation-Only Basis, Including Andrew Tate and Krassenstein Brothers

Paying people to like him has been Musks entire MO his entire life. That's how he was able to cultivate this legend as a super smart gamer nerd who likes the things you like, so he must be cool. He bought his way into nerdom and it took 20 years for the star-eyed neckbeards to realize he's a fucking idiot.
He saddled it with ridiculous debt when he took it over that has a billion interest per year. Which means he demands basically that twitter earns that additional billion per year until he calls it "breaking even".
That is never going to happen.
As dor the payouts, that is 5 million. That is only 500 people getting 10000 each which is the ballpark of the mentioned examples. It is basically nothing considering the large number of contributors. A select few get some money and he hopes that will make all the others compete for getting noticed. Oh, and you have to pay twitter blue just to be considered at all.
It is a marketing gag to attract/retain creators, nothing more.
