@caseynewton Time to check in with this llama on the scene...

@caseynewton does he care? Did he buy this platform at the behest of friends & fellow travelers who despised it? Very possibly.

@caseynewton We can say that we haven’t progressed much as a society, but 60 years ago dropping an accomplished overconfident executive into a new domain led to a brutal land war in Asia. This is far less deadly.

@caseynewton what a series of unfortunate events!

“a man bought Twitter for $44 billion”

The million (or $44B) question that would better explain what has happened since the acquisition and what will happen in the future is why did he buy it to begin with. It’s hard to buy the narrative that he bought it on a whim given the evidence. There was a calculated buying of stock from late Jan 2022 unlike anything he’s done before or since.

@caseynewton There is also the plea for software developers to contribute their time (for free) to helping twitter

@caseynewton
Why did anyone assume Musk was a capable leader of anything social?

@caseynewton Aaaand…. he’s blocked gofundme

@caseynewton What a deeply stupid little man. #ElonMusk

@caseynewton I like to try your DALL-E prompts in Midjourney to see what it does, and sometimes it kills it, but this time I think DALL-E’s derpy bird is so much better 😂

@caseynewton I’m just thinking about what he could have done with that money besides set it on fire. He could have funded the arts or launched a fund to protect the newspaper industry. Instead he’s spending his money and time on petty bullshit.

@caseynewton don’t give him ideas
