Hey. Nothing wrong with being optimistic. Everything will be fine in “two weeks”.

None of this has any meat to it honestly (real $$ results). Going to Twitter or Indeed for jobs has 0 jobs listed. Maybe they are talking about the CEO job which has been filled.

Twitter isn't a news app IMO. There is clearly a lack of real information still and I'm still waiting. As for that screenshot/comment on stocks, nearly everything was up yesterday. Dow 1%, Nasdaq 2%+. The real killer has been Nvidia.

Opinion | How the Internet Shrank Musk and DeSantis

From Ross Douthat, the most iron-clad conservative columnist at the Times, a thoughtful, nuanced explication of Elon’s misconceptions going into and operating Twitter… well worth the read. Dispells much of the nonsense here about Twitter.

“….If you want Twitter to be the world’s news hub, you probably need a Twitter newsroom. If you want Twitter to host presidential candidates, you probably need a Twitter channel that feels like a professional newscast. And while you’re trying to build those things, you need to be careful that the nature of social media doesn’t diminish you to the kind of caricatured role — troll instead of tycoon — that tempts everyone on Twitter.”

 

[jjrandorin]

I wouldn't take it personally. The mods here haven't been able to reconcile that Elon, and by extension Tesla, is now inherently political.

No, we actually know that discussion of elon tends to be political, which is why most of the threads on "elon" are closed, like this one likely will end up being, as this is not a site for political discourse.

Doesn’t really contradict what I said. Just comes across as the staff here as sticking their heads in the sand as to the nature of reality. You may as well shut down the entire forums if you want to avoid politics altogether.

There are plenty, plenty of other places online people can go to, to discuss politics, race, etc. This isnt one of them.

Like I said, may as well shut down the forum then. Elon and Tesla *are* political.

 

[Bouba]

I think that this forum has a good attitude to politics...they have rules but they have some latitude....when my boat forum change policy and made a strict no politics rule, it sucked the life out of the forum....so my advice to everyone is give your opinions but don’t push them

Ha ha.. NYT is feeling the heat. With falling subscriber base and revenues, and with their lies being outed and spotlighted everyday on Twitter, they are doing what they do best - throwing FUD on Twitter. This is the same yellow rag which screamed from the roof tops on WMD and Russian collusion.

Does anyone care what they say, except the extreme left fringe?

The problem with "latitude" is, it always comes with accusations of favoritism for one viewpoint or another, or people making statements like "I dont understand why my post on political fundraising feedback is considered politics?", which is usually accompanied by "when so and so said such and such and it wasnt moved".

In any case, another thread time out, somewhere between 1 - 3 days.

Elon has been celebrating Memorial Day by posting fake news, liking Tweets containing fake news, and generally demonstrating that he is unfit to be allowed out in public. Is anybody surprised?

Elon, please STFU and go do engineering.

Link or it didn't happen. FWIW: Vatnik soup is quite a collection of known Twitter propagandists (grifters), with whom also Elon often interacts with.

Just go to his Twitter feed, especially his replies.

I can absolutely assure you NYT doesn’t worry even a little about Twitter. Entirely different type of media. And of course even a day’s steaming pile of the deranged spin, hot takes, denialism of various stripes and general hogwash on Twitter makes an entire year of the mistakes made by all of legit news media look like a rounding error.
