@georgetakei you are my favorite follow ❤️

@georgetakei One person can't fix it, but he sure showed that one person can ruin it.

@georgetakei genius!!

@georgetakei Perhaps the kind of man who says that leaves the disaster behind him thinking that he really did fix it.

@georgetakei I couldn't agree more!

@georgetakei Guess ruining it was the fix he had in mind all along

@georgetakei harsh - no second chances?

@georgetakei hooray for malignant narcissists! Nothing is ever their fault and they alone can save us all.

@georgetakei It’s what happens when leaders lack humility.

@georgetakei it definitely isn't working. On the upside it has show us exactly what kind of human being Elon Musk - I am now quite please I can't afford a Tesla.

@georgetakei every day a new low at #twitter

@georgetakei make Twitter great again

@georgetakei now he wants to fix @Mastodon and get even with deserters.

@georgetakei Indeed, that seems more like "I alone can break it."

@georgetakei I have to laugh when I see wretched poseurs using that line in earnest, because I know *I'm* the only one who can fix it.😆

@georgetakei after a quick survey of all the people who were early adopters of twitter like myself, nobody still uses it. musk is tearing down and empty building.

@georgetakei
Even evolution got hip to the power of groups. It changed from survival of the fittest individual to survival of the fittest group.

@georgetakei The level of ego from narcissists like Trump and Musk is out of this world.

@georgetakei But it DOES look like he alone can break it!

@georgetakei I feel like it's got something to do with decades of Hollywood action flicks featuring (dramatic trailer voice) "a lone hero who's also a loose cannon but he gets the job done"

@georgetakei never works anywhere, unless “fix” actually means “wreck”.

Good, healthy systems take teamwork to build — and the more complex the system, the better the team needs to be.

In contrast any damn fool can break something without too much trouble.

@georgetakei - Nothing like setting your reputation, and $44 billion on fire.

@georgetakei

Strangely, "I can ruin it alone" seems to work.

@georgetakei "I alone can fix it" really only works for personal growth.

@georgetakei Huge Fan, with that in mind and with all do respect, I was exposed to your Tweets over the last few years. You sir called for the punishment of un-vaccinated Americans, you supported authoritarians and there policies. You called for your fellow citizens to be silenced including the sitting President of the United States. You cheered as our god given rights were trampled by the corrupt and the sinister. You are the problem that needs fixing

@georgetakei It takes a team effort to fix something, but only one to ruin it.

@georgetakei
We seem to have a tendency to bestow godlike status on the rich. We can imbue them with powers far beyond their capabilities and once they’re tested they demonstrate just how mediocre they really are.

@georgetakei
Man that's intriguing* the universedon . Com..* 😎🤌☕🌌

@georgetakei Big difference, though. When it's the White House, it's an imminent existential threat to the safety and security of the US and its residents.

When it's Twitter, it's just fucking hilarious.

@georgetakei

MAGA-complex. 😂

@georgetakei Hope Wendy is all good. Press briefings are still great Karine does an amazing job.

@georgetakei However, “I alone can screw it all up” has proven effective.

@georgetakei

????
Wasn't it basically what you did on the USSS Enterprise ?

@georgetakei it absolutely didn’t work in the White House but it did work in Home Alone

@georgetakei Agree, solutions especially if looking to get buy-in from across the populace needs to be collective ones sourced from many talents. The time for alienation has passed.

@georgetakei
no cw huh? After everybody told you about it and asked you to be courteous, you're still causing trouble for others.

@georgetakei comparing apples and oranges. businesses are certainly not democratic. should they be is a perilous argument.

@georgetakei Ludicrous. Just because someone was in the right place at one time to develop a product the world needed doesn’t mean they could do it again or in a different industry or time. Credibility with the customer is paramount. We never saw Steve Jobs try to reinvent the auto industry. Werner von Braun didn’t design the Saturn V rocket: it took thousands of skilled people. None of us is as capable as all of us, especially with really big challenges.

@georgetakei worked, once, to change a lightbulb 💡.
Almost never work for task way more complex 🙂

@georgetakei "I alone am escaped to tell thee" may have legs, though.

@georgetakei It's not working in Florida either. People are priced out of their homes and abandoning their pets. It's all very sad here.

@georgetakei and as it turned out "free speech" was white people using the n word without consequence...

@georgetakei I'm being optimistic and saying too early to say on Twitter

@georgetakei #trump and #musk are the embodiment of “I don’t need to stop for directions!”

@georgetakei and doesn’t work anywhere, ime.

@georgetakei That only applies on one’s own life perhaps :thinktink:

@georgetakei there do seem to be a few glitches arising at the old site...

@georgetakei

@georgetakei the great thing is, Elon has shown the world how great social media can be without corporate ownership and algorithms. The best way to 'fix' Twitter right now would be to allow it to federate with Mastodon and let the users decide on where to go.

#mastodonlove
#ElonMuski
#antiCorporatist
#NoAlgorithms

@georgetakei “I alone can destroy it” works quite well.

@georgetakei @DidiQ #ProTip: It never works.

@georgetakei Hello from Twitter

@georgetakei

@georgetakei hi George! Glad to see you on Mastadon!

@georgetakei I feel bad for all the Twitter employees paying the price for Elon's ego trip.

@georgetakei He can’t fix it but he sure can destroy it.

@georgetakei particularly fitting, given that neither actually wanted the job.

@georgetakei

@georgetakei BAM!💙💙💙

@georgetakei Hey George! I'm here, I'm queer. It will take a while to get accustomed to this.

@georgetakei he will fail the enterprise...

@georgetakei Nice to see you here! Hope this works! We can fix this!

@georgetakei

@georgetakei @bobkopp Real surprise with these guys allowed to set fire to the world

@georgetakei it's like comparing apples to oranges.

@georgetakei "I alone can fix it" is always a red flag.

@georgetakei agreed sir!! Great observation.

@georgetakei Power should not be given to just one person.

@georgetakei Sounds like "the Big Twit" is about to be alone.

@georgetakei That’s a red flag for a cult leader, or in this case a visionary without a plan. How’s that working out?

@georgetakei He's speedrunning the Trump administration

@georgetakei
I'm new here Mr. Takei. I left a certain site on November 7th. It is wonderful to see you here. It is an honor to follow you and this is my first (ahem) PUBLISH on mastodon. Welcome and glad you are here!

@georgetakei it did work in the break room when all the snack packs needed to eaten before they expured.

@georgetakei

@georgetakei found you!

@georgetakei Glad I dfound you here.

@georgetakei Well said, George, and TRUTH!

@georgetakei and now here we are 🤷🏻‍♀️

@georgetakei Thank you so much for the pinned info. I’ve sent DMs to many fellow Dems/Progressives. Hopefully, they’ll get here soon. Just going to look around and read the cheat sheet. 😉 Thanks, again! Chaiah

@georgetakei You said it‼️

@georgetakei that’s what happens in any organization with a narcissist at the wheel

@georgetakei what made you choose this?

@georgetakei
UNCLE GEORGE!!!
YOU'RE HERE!!!🎉🎉🎉

I thought that I was going to lose all my faves - but now that I've found you, hopefully the rest are going to migrate soon as well...🤞

Welcome!💜😊

@georgetakei GLAD TO SEE YOU HERE

@georgetakei FACTS.

@georgetakei

So glad I found you !

@georgetakei I alone can fix it never works. I alone can break it almost always does.

@georgetakei Such a relief people I follow on Twitter are here. Phew!

@georgetakei Lone man in charge never works!
