Several prominent shareholders at Tesla are calling on him to resign as CEO but he's the top shareholder so he's untouchable. Of course, he just sold another $3-4 billion in stock to cover Twitter losses so eventually he won't be...
Hopefully he ends up like the washed up salesman in Alec Baldwin's Glengarry Glen Ross story, getting sloshed at the bar while complaining about how tough his old job was.

There's a chance he's heading more towards the lowtax route.

Jesus that scene.
To all: if you ever get the chance, see that play performed in theater. The one thing the movie got wrong (it was otherwise flawless) was it just couldn't capture the claustrophobia of the sets. It is like watching people operate on each other without anesthesia. Mamet is a jerk and a fool IRL but that is brilliant. Even with mediocre actors it's still riveting.

I’ve never seen the trailer to the movie before.
It’s terrible. Doesn’t match the vibe of the movie at all.

So there was apparently some guy with Elon at the World Cup. Said he was talking with the Qataris and other ME investors. Trying to get investments in twitter and Tesla. They basically told him to find a new CEO and get his sh--t together. A few hours later this poll gets posted.

Considering how much middle eastern influence financed his purchase of Twitter, this news is unsurprising.

Already insane, UAA making it worse
He was pictured next to Jared Kushner and the Saudis.

If he's stupid enough to give any of it to Elon he deserves to lose it.

Honestly, assuming he's not just stupidly and deliberately tanking Twitter out of spite, that might be the best move for him to try and salvage this mess. Appoint a new CEO of Twitter with social media experience while he continues on as owner/executive chairman or whatever. His ego won't allow it though, and nobody worth a damn will want the job because they don't want to deal with his a55 and take orders from him.

Did Elon actually spend any of his own money?

This is like wondering if Dumpies will ever get wise. If he was mature enough to do that, he would never have bought it in the first place.
The copy of the deal I saw showed Elon paying for about 75% of it.

Yes and no. "He" paid about $33 billion but a good chunk of that was given to him by investors like Larry Ellison and Peter Thiel.

Stable genius says the pill yesterday was just to trick left wing bite into giving up their IP address.
now he says he’s going to restrict voting in polls to his little blue check gang

So why wouldn't every person who voted for him to quit just leave, immediately? Why would anyone stay?
Why would anyone be loyal to a social media platform? It has no discriminator value. Everyone you can talk to on it you can just, you know, talk to. You can even use the same pacifier you were using before to tweet. A social media platform has literally zero value to you. You are the commodity, not it.
Is this my Boomer(ish) Brain missing something that is real, or is this kids who grew up with this umbilical cord simply unable to sever it?
