Elon, I got some butterscotch in my pockets. They are nice and warm too..Why don't you reach in there and grab ya a couple?

Anyone could be a CEO if this douche nozzle can. And for like 6-7 different corporations to by the way.

What do you say you do here elon?

Disagree. You have to be completely devoid of morals and ethics to be a CEO. Empathy too. Most of us have those things on at least some level.

Only to be CEO of a massive capitalist company.

I've heard a few tales of some CEO's (of very small companies) here in the Nordics actually being generous to their employees. Like it's most definitely a rarity, but I believe it is possible.

Like a CEO who values profits but values employees and paying their fair share more and isn't blinded by greed and addicted to money. A socialist, literally. A market socialist, but a socialist nonetheless.

Everyone could have their basic needs met, and we could still have rich people. Just not filthy rich, not "rich-to-the-point-no-one-else-has-anything" rich.

Well changing the name to "X" didn't do him any favors

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Threw away the branding, threw away the user base, threw away the advertisers, throw away the staff.

What exactly does he have left?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

His ego🤣🤣😂😂😂

Twitter is a cute name. X just sounds like some perverted shit. Elon is a moron.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Or an asshole, Being X from Saga of Tanya the Evil Comes to mind. Hell both Being X and Musk are petulant children who damand praise, I fucking hate it.

I Always thought he just wanted to flush xitter, it never occurred to me that he was actually trying to succeed.

I think he was trying to dump Tesla stock without making it look like he didn’t have faith in the company. His plan was always to say he was buying it. sell a bunch of Tesla stock. Back out of the Twitter deal and walk away with a ton of cash.

He tried to get out of it based on a bunch of bullshit and then was surprised when a judge actually forced him to buy Twitter.

Now he wants shareholders to give him stock as he demands 25% of ownership plus he wants 56 billion payout. Meanwhile he's firing whole departments.
