Adventures of the Longest Muskrat

[Crick]

He's off on a whole anti-vax thing now, I assume to try to drum up more activity? Or to limit how much he'll ban? In any case, it all seems like it'll just drive more legit advertisers away.

[Mongrel]

Everyone I know is getting spammed by idiot anti-vaxx ads. As one dryly commented "Pretty sure this means the ad revenue problem's not fixed."

[Crick]

I wonder if he's becoming actual-in-real-life unglued as he gets closer to a margin call.

[Mongrel]

I think it's more a question of how much MORE unglued, given it's not like he's ever been all that in touch with reality - he's just had a pass for years because he was a "genius".

[Crick]

You're totally right, I'm just thinking-- since he went from posting reddit lolololol memes to boomer facebook memes, I can't imagine what that meltdown must look like in person.

It Took Just Four Days From Elon Gleefully Admitting He’d Unplugged A Server Rack For Twitter To Have A Major Outage



It's been wild seeing the fanboys continue to insist that Musk is a brain genius and that Twitter is doing great. In particular, the defense (prior to yesterday) that because Twitter was still functional, that just proves that everybody he fired really was useless deadweight and couldn't have possibly been necessary to the company.

The analogy I've settled on is deciding that you're going to stop taking your car in for maintenance, and then, when the wheels don't fall off the first day, proclaiming that that proves it doesn't need routine maintenance.

If Elon were not a self-absorbed asshole who spoke to other self-absorbed assholes, they might have come to more logical conclusion that all the people he fired were in fact good at their jobs

That reminds me of the tweet for years ago where he read Marx as a teen, "cross referencing the original German", and wouldn't you know it, free market capitalism is just the better idea.

Hey, but don't forget, he's actually a socialist. He's just one of those socialists that have 100% faith in corporations.

"Hang on, hang on, there's a meat grinder I haven't put my dick into yet!"

[Eh]

I honestly don't think he's okay.

He's the #1 Culture Series understander.

Well, if he's on even a tenth as much druggery as it's rumoured he is...

Approaching lightspeed in my cybertruck, towing near infinite fuel behind me.

[Mongrel]

As the following tweet reminds us, Elon is about 25 times as rich as George Soros.

Well, currently anyway.

[Mongrel]

EDIT: Oh my god it's actually a ridiculous experiment, because Muskie literally has no one left to tell him how any of Twitter's shit works (and he probably wouldn't listen even if he did).

imagine buying a mcdonalds, firing the whole crew, then asking the dumpster raccoons how to work the deep fryer
