Maybe that guy was there and heard something, and it is plausible that Elon would put up a poll to make it look like he let people make the decision... But look at that dude's replies lol

Also those guys have hundreds of millions invested in Twitter, Elon has $44 billion. I think he has more say than they do

if i was a tech investor, i would have ran the fuck away so fast as soon as i heard elon musk was interested in said company. pretty sure everyone knows that guy is just a giant troll and everything he touches goes to shit.

So the people spoke and sadly they want him gone

Expect him to do a new poll where only people paying him can vote


Also he's making that major policy change the day after saying this

he wants out too - but he needs to paint it just right so it's not seen as the abject failure that it absolutely is.

i cannot understand the people that simp for this guy. He's the worst rich guy - and that's tough to be w Bezos around.

just go away

At least Bezos keeps his head down generally, for the most part.

A good CEO is someone is barely hear about in the news, hence why Microsoft and Google have such good leaders. Their CEOs know to shut up and do the work, don't bring negativity to the company by spouting any idiotic views in the public.

Yeah I just posted in the trump thread that political satire no longer exists. Humor itself these days is basically "state a fact, laugh at it"

Partly because the rest of reality is too painful to acknowledge

https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/20/...rnship-resigns

Quote:
George Hotz, known for being the first person to carrier-unlock an iPhone and jailbreaking the PS3, both under his hacker alias “geohot,” has resigned from his Twitter internship, he announced Tuesday evening on Twitter.

“Appreciate the opportunity, but didn’t think there was any real impact I could make there,” he wrote. He also said it was “sad” to see his GitHub “withering.”

Hotz offered to join Twitter on November 16th after voicing support for CEO Elon Musk’s proclamation that the company would need to be “extremely hardcore.” “This is the attitude that builds incredible things,” Hotz, who resigned as CEO of self-driving startup Comma AI in October, said on Twitter. “Let all the people who don’t desire greatness leave.” In response to a tweet mocking him, Hotz said he would “put my money where my mouth is” with a 12-week internship at Twitter in San Francisco. Musk replied “let’s talk.”
He had a twitter spaces with Musk and others and it was pretty bad.

I had no idea who he was at the time of this movie...
Never heard of him until the Model S started going on sale.
