Remember the concept of "management by walking around" that was all the rage back when I went to business school?
Now we get "management by tweeting around."

I believe @AkivaMCohen firm was working on some cases. But I haven’t seen him active on Mastodon in awhile.l

@jbminn @mmasnick the guy Musk is mocking is Iceland's person of the year, he has muscular dystrophy and he is known for his work making places accessible https://www.icelandreview.com/news/haraldur-thorleifsson-sweeps-person-of-the-year-awards/

@chancerydaily @mmasnick yup. I hope that not only does he win in court vs Musk, but he also gets a nice bonus check to make more wheelchair ramps.

@trollball @Viss @mmasnick Wiley E. Coyote was an actual genius though, and his schemes failed unrealistically. Musk is actually rolling out stupid ideas and they are failing as expectable.

@trochee @scotclose incredibly, elon agrees that it's out of office space. he posted a clip from office space in response to the guy later in the conversation...

@Kryten it's more than that. there are around 400 engineers, but still many other types of employees. And I know there's lots of speculation about why, but I don't think it's necessarily right to insist any of us know why people stuck around.

I have really reached the point with #Musk that I no longer think he's a very elaborate and droll troll who thinks he's Too Funny by Half and just loves to show everyone I've really come to think that Musk is completely and utterly without #Clue Period Full stop There's a point where you'd think Too Cute by Half would occasionally be moderated by a little self-awareness That's clearly never the case with Musk He has the attention span of a goldfish, with apologies to goldfish

@FinchHaven @mmasnick I mean, he does seem to believe that DMCA requests are sent by Twitter accounts and so by suspending accounts that send them abusively (aka, send them to be his "friends") will somehow make them stop.
FinchHaven
Yeah and this suggests a core thing with Musk: He "knows" about a wide range of things but there doesn't seem to be any linkage or correlation between any of it It's like Twitter account DMCA request Twitter abuse Suspend Twitter account are all things Musk "knows" about, but there's no coherent relationship between any of it It's all just freeze-frames of information with nothing holding any of it together

Now THERE is a broken corporate structure! Maybe Musk sees himself as a Charles Schwab. He's not. He's a brutalist, and is merely cloying his mistakes.

Twitter employees! Want to express yourself, on your last day? Here's your new fashion directive...

@mmasnick "Certainly not sinking the company by tweeting like an idiot" would have been my response.

@mmasnick Please tell me the reply is "What have *I* been doing? What the fuck have *you* been doing?"

Lol. I think @EricFrohnhoefer would be able to give a first hand account of how that feels if you are on the receiving end 🫠

@mmasnick Handy thing that Elon is a sociopath. Otherwise that whole exchange would have been just horribly humiliating for him.

@mmasnick so I may not be a management genius but I’m pretty sure the correct answer to “hey do I still work for you?” is not “i dunno what do you do”

i suspect he's also walking around, grabbing random pages of budgets and yelling, "charge money for users to do that!" - verification - API - two factor authentication

@mmasnick Short attention-span theatre totally tracks with his psychological profile. If you want to understand of the dark side of the #narcissist #psychology of #ElonMusk, I spent months studying him so you don't have to. https://samray.substack.com/p/the-grooming-of-elon-musk-a-psychological-cc8 |
@mmasnick when the labor law litigation hits it's gonna be amazing
