What is Elon Musks temperament?

no one fell for this, right? I mean, no one actually believed there would be free, or more free, speech on Twitter, right?

Yeah, because the bigotry and hatred was so much better pre-Musk.

Not saying it's improved, just that anyone currently with an opinion is mostly just a simple minded opportunist.

It's an eye opener how general bias is terribly represented in open communication..through twitter. And Elon stumbled on it like a child, trying to close down this river with a dam of insignificant pebble stones.

I believe that with his $44B investment if his we're witnessing elements 5, 6 and 7 in play without a number 4 firmly defined.

 

[Wyote]

without a number 4 firmly defined

His number 4 is similar to a lot of successful people, which is to pick something that seems essentially unachievable - colonize Mars

All the things he does are movements in that direction either directly or indirectly.

Twitter users vote to restore Donald Trump's twitter account. Elon Complies
Twitter users vote to restore accounts of journalists who were blocked. Elon complies.
Twitter users vote to oust Elon as CEO. Elon says he is going to change who can vote.

"as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job" sounds like he has plans to ride the new CEO.

 

[aeon]

It’s all blather and hot air. Always has been. He’s an Apartheid-fed charlatan.

Not sure how that dude defines the world crushed. Tesla is up 4 places above last year's position:

From https://insideevs.com/news/622136/tesla-consumer-reports-reliability-2022/

Tesla has never done well in Consumer Reports’ annual reliability surveys and the same is true for the manufacturer’s 2022 performance. CR released its latest report and it ranks Tesla in 19th position out of 24 automakers, still an improvement over last year when it came second to last out of 28 automakers.


Joining Tesla at the bottom of the rankings were Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Jeep, GMC and Chevrolet. The number one spot for 2022 is no longer held by Lexus, which falls into second place with Toyota now in the top spot (albeit with exactly the same score as its luxury division). BMW climbs ten positions over 2021 and lands third place.

Genius? Certainly cruel, and with a metric fuckton of dark triad behavior.

I suppose in this world if you leverage that and end up with fat stacks, you’re a genius.

 

[MoonFlier]

The world is so mixed up with creating new definitions that they forget traditional.
Genius, to many, means nothing more than "that person made a ton of money". Doesn't matter how they made it, or if they have the IQ of a dandelion. They're still a genius.

Elon is the human equivalent of crabgrass.

or if they have the IQ of a dandelion.

This is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

Three minutes of curtain pullback. Spot on.
