The guy creeps me out somehow. Something gives me the feeling I wouldn't want to hang around with him.

VI, I get the same vibe from him. He shot a Tesla into space just to show off. What an ass.

We were discussing Elon Musk this morning in my Zoom breakfast meeting. He was compared by one guy to Kim Kardashian. Why would we care what either of them think?

I just keep laughing over the whole thing. Saw some commentary the other day, that his 44 billion dollar company is worth maybe 10 billion, and he seems intent on grinding that into…something.

There's always been too much toxicity on the digital commons of Twitter but also humanity, hilarity, brilliance and connection. That wanker has broken it. Shame.

Buyouts, hostile takeovers, mergers etc are all part of the corporate game. You have to be kidding yourself to believe any job cannot exist without you. It may not be the same, but it can continue on without you.

OK, so I’m watching all this, and am amazed that anyone can screw up this badly, this quickly.

TBH, I'm more of an Onion guy. Less punching down.

Oh, it is. Perfectly on point. "OMG!!!!!!! Twitter is the center of the world! Democracy is dead!" Seriouly, go sit down and try to make contact with your brain again.

That’s great. I was just talking to one of my kids about the scores of younguns that make good money basically doing nothing productive. He runs a research lab at the University of Colorado med school and is having a hell of a time getting his grad students and post docs back in the lab full time and productive after a couple of years working mainly from home with occasional solo forays into work. I sent him the link.

The Babylon Bee presumably likes Musk. Previously their Twitter account was suspended for targeting LGBTQ people with witless bullying and refusing to remove transphobic content. Musk has now reinstated their account (and others) and pledged to permit the bigotry and the bullying to recommence. One of several reasons Musk and The Babylon Bee should IMO go fuck themselves.
On a curious note. Musk has a trans daughter who has disowned him and his girlfriend left him and then dated Chelsea Manning.

Dub. I just keep getting told on the registration page that the things I enter into the required fields are not in the necessary format. I'll put it on hold for a while. Did you try putting the month before the date? 😂😂😂
