Some might wonder if making a dog the CEO of Twitter is a joke. It could be. And under different circumstances, I'd even assume it was. But this is Elon Musk, the guy who changed Twitter's office sign to "Twitter" and auto-responds to Press enquiries with a 💩 emoji. Of course he'd make his dog the CEO of Twitter.  @atomicpoet reminds me of Putin's PR in pre-war years, where he was often portrayed with pet dogs and other animals to show his "human" side...  @atomicpoet Perhaps someone should point out to him that it didn't exactly end well for Caligula.  @atomicpoet Just the thought of being compared to Caligula... It must really sting to make such an ass of yourself on such a massively public scale.  @atomicpoet As even the Wiki link tells us, this didn't happen. This suggestion - and plans to make senators prostitute their wives or lose their seats - was Caligula's way of mocking the rich of Rome, who would accept any absurdity or immorality to keep their positions. Very similar to Musk's intentions, I think. @atomicpoet This is like Terry Pratchett's "Making Money" where the dog is the chairman of the bank, but I doubt he's read it. Stranger than fiction. @atomicpoet maybe Floki will do a much better job than his predecessor. Dogs are smarter than humans. I know. I have one. I’ve had several. I feed them, take them for walks, pick up their poop, but they do all the serious thinking.    @atomicpoet I don’t buy it! Dogs are far more rational and kind than Space Karen! And I know we voted him out as CEO - my last action at the hellsite. Maybe that’s why he tries to blame it on the dog. People do that with farts usually, but Floki must also be a genius (his name means “pubes” in my native language) |
The Roman Emperor Caligula made his favourite horse a Senator.
It's funny how so much of Elon Musk's tenure as Twitter owner mirrors Caligula's reign as Roman Emperor.
