Business, Economics, and Taxes: Capitalism. Yay? >=(

That states it perfectly.

Prof Paul Bernal on Twitter: "Anyway, my tuppence worth on Musk and Twitter. He’s in for a rocky ride, and the question for me is whether his ego is going to make him destroy Twitter. Right now, what’s pretty clear is that he doesn’t understand what makes Twitter work. 1/10" / Twitter

That whole sequence of 10 tweets is on point.

BP’s profits in Q3 of 2021: $3,300,000,000

Shell’s profits in Q3 of 2021: $4,130,000,000

Don’t blame inflation. Blame corporate greed.

It's really good. It encapsulates everything that musk is doing wrong. His whole theory on right/left is built on sand and he's going to dunning-kruger himself out of $40B.

 

[Slap Shot]

He says the $20 fee is to wade out the bots and trolls? Uh, bots and trolls aren't getting check-marks.

 

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

Yeah it’s dumb. He just wants more revenue coming from others as he knows ad revenue will drop

I’m sure the 50+ Tesla employees he’s got with him working at twitter are working out well

I think it was a thread DX re-Tweeted, but someone pointed out just how out of touch Musk is regarding Twitter.

He brought Tesla programmers over to Twitter to work, but the coding isn't broken. He actually needs the moderators and employees he's firing because to oversee the community of users that Twitter has.



CNBC also made an interesting note this morning: Musk may have bought Twitter just to transform the existing software into a glorified ride-hailing app to summon driverless Teslas to compete with Uber. Just tweet that you need a car, your location, and your destination.

Yeah I’m sure hate speech will go over well in say, Germany.

You gotta ba able to do that from scratch for less than 40 billion.

That's gotta be wrong. There's literally no way in hell that's true.

Ask Zuck how much it costs to add legs.

 

[Swansong]

A quick google search suggests that Lyft is worth around $5 billion.

Sounds like Elon has cut moderation staff from hundreds down to a handful to ensure that nothing gets moderated in the run up to midterms

Good plan. It was so predictable

 

[RaceBoarder]

Well, we've already backtracked to $8...

I'll be enjoying some popcorn over the next few days...

Sounds like Vanguard is going to test pilot giving mutual fund owners more proxy voting rights.

So Twitter will be the platform the fascists use to communicate when they start shooting after next Tuesday?

Got an email from Indeed saying "your experience at Employer X would make you a good fit at Employer Y." So I clicked "full job description" and found this recruiter was offering $11-13/hour to work at Steak N Shake. My current employer pays $19 and has the potential to go to $21.

I fell out of my chair laughing. Do go on about how "no one wants to work anymore."
