Ah, Elon Musk. He tried to be the Henry Ford of space travel but instead became the Liz Truss of social media.

@m He could be both at the same time.

The mob giveth and the mob taketh away :blobcatfearful:

@m The UK still exists though. Not sure Twitter will.

Angela Lewis

@m he’s a toddler who is breaking his fancy toy

@zmbcgn No, definitely Liz Truss. The stuff she did made Thatcher look like Marx.

Brandon

@m they both have the number 44 in common, too

Tim @toolbear@ Taylor

@m Gaslit Nation podcast loves to call him Space Trump πŸ˜†

@m I mean, Ford was an antisemitic ass who stole the idea from slaughterhouses :-p

@m

He "did it 4 da lulz" but you can't find that tweet because he deleted it. Luckily there is an archive of his deleted tweets.

@m or trying to be both at the same time, can't compute

We should all be grateful that it wasn't the other way round, though, otherwise we'd all be cowering in our cellars while white-hot chunks of rocket shrapnel spraying nitric acid and hydrazine rained down from above.

@m So reusing ideas that were dismissed in the 1950's and were ruled out?

@m I think it’s time to stop joking about it. He and his investors may think they can crash the world economy - especially if the US defaults in Jan. They all have one thing in common: an end fiat currencies. It’s worth considering that Musk - an irredeemable man - actually has a plan and isn’t ONLY incompetent creep.

Mike Knell

@Alisca So far Occam's Razor would suggest that in this case he is just an incompetent creep. It's not 12-dimensional chess, it's just biting off way more than he can chew but being too arrogant and self-absorbed to admit it.

Mike Knell

@Alisca And it's not that it isn't awful - thousands of people have suddenly lost their jobs because a spoiled man-child can't cope with being told "no" - but joking about it seems a good way to cope.

Alisca

@m true!!

As the wife said: "if that's the plan, it's a pretty shit one."

@m Perfect! Aka β€œSpace Karen”

@m given how many execs are resigning, I feel like he's more like Boris, bumbling randomly from one thing to another. Twitter's Liz Truss may be yet to come.

@m He is not much different than Henry Ford, considering his fascist tendencies. An oligarch nevertheless!

Al Wirtes

@m Henry Ford build towns to house his workers & controlled the schools where antisemitism was part of the curriculum. Henry Ford fought unions until the beginning of WWII when FDR would only give war contracts to union shops.

He’s doing a FANTASTIC job of being Henry Ford. πŸ˜€

Art Nouveau Appreciator

@m don’t think he’s a sub though

Loona Pavlichenko

@m I don't think Twitter is going anywhere. If anything, Musk will walk away after it tanks and when the old employees come back they will clean house and kick many of the fascist accounts off because Mastadon is kicking Twitter's ass right now.

Hayden Thorne

@m Is there a validated lettuce account over there? Someone should troll him with one of those.

grin

@m you're being unreasonable. #Elon popularised the #fediverse more than anyone ever in the history of mankind! 😁

harmonicarichard

@m Trusses are useful in Space vehicles ;-).

NuClub Boulder

@m Musk sells you the future version of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Bonnie

@m He's such a turd. He ain't gonna be an intergalactic superstar. I never paid much attention to him but when he started this Mars nonsense, I knew he wasn't very smart & likely knows very little about science or space in general. πŸ™„

The Tepid Emperor

@m I doff my cap. Well played. Glorious toot!

MarmosetJ

@m I think like Liz Truss who knew her appointment was temporary (although I don’t think she knew how brief) he just bought Twitter to destroy it, probably on behalf of Putin

Steven Portas

@m I see that your have dropped the mic and are currently walking away. Noice!
