Ok, dude has gone sailing off the deep end. He’s been tweeting absolute nonsense for the last two hours, including one that says “ I am become meme, Destroyer of shorts” and seemingly asking for submissions for an X logo to replace Twitter and that one will go live tomorrow, and has said he’s drunk. Hooboy
Yep, just like all of Facebook's problems went away after they renamed to Meta. Turns out it was all just a bad brand image to begin with! Nothing to do with out of touch billionaires running companies into the ground, just slap a new logo on it.
Old mate can't stop copping Ls, first being forced to buy Twitter and then trying to force Twitters old legal council to pay back the money they were paid. These weird tweets are just the next step in his sad saga
To be fair, a majority of these were OTA fixes and often related to abstruse automotive regulations–e.g., there was a “recall” because you could remotely vent the windows on the car. The recall involved Tesla updating the app so that option was no longer available. The reasoning is a byzantine regulation governing powered windows that was made before remote operation of any vehicle functionality existed. Other recalls? The cars were too quiet (now they have the EV “whine”), several for FSD and FSD-related technology, etc. I.e., it’s a new car with new technology, and most of these recalls were solved by OTA updates.
I consider that normal given how new modern EV vehicles are and how feature heavy most Tesla vehicles are-- as silly examples, they can fart and dance to music.
There are also reasonable recalls: seat belt issues, brake caliper issues, but those are diminishingly small. Note that Tesla regularly receives five-star-safety ratings from the NHTSA, and are considered some of the safest cars on the road in crash tests. Elon is a tool, but the engineers that work for Tesla made a very solid electric drivetrain and very safe body. Fit and finish leaves a lot to be desired, I’m told, but that’s what is gonna happen when you prioritize the engineering over the comfort.
Well, if we look at his successes I don’t think it’s far fetched to say that he is exceptionally good at being a fat wallet. Because his contribution has mostly been throwing money at the thing.
You can polish a turd, but at the end of the day it’ll just be shiny shit.
Rebranding won’t save the sinking ship that is Twitter. Making it a better platform might actually save it, but Musk is not interested in that, he just wants to make money.
The way Musk is leading Twitter he’s either a moron or trying to destroy the entire service.
Maybe someone called him a slur in a tweet and now he wants to remove the entire platform? Who knows. Though we was mostly the guy calling others pedos…
He paid $21 billion of his own money for it. That was like 10% of his wealth at the time. It also had a negative effect on Tesla’s stock price. He lost a lot of wealth because of this.
I think it is more likely that he did not intend to purchase it and was initially just trolling. But someone filed the legal paperwork and he had to go through with it.
