So Elon's Big Brain Genius Plan is to buy a social media company, drive it into the ground and chase away all of it's talent, and then rebrand it as a financial services company? Now, either he's playing 4D chess... Or he's a moron with no clue what he's doing and is just making shit up as he goes and hoping that if he throws enough different plans out ONE of them has got to land and then he can pretend that was the REAL plan all along.
Elon's primary stategies seem to be "over promise" and "be a dick". That seems to have got some traction in the electric car and rocket space, possibly due to the entrenched inertia in the industry and masochism of engineers who want to break ground (first thing he did was send out an email giving staff an ultimatum essentially warning staff he intends to burn them out…). However, these strategies are going to be… not great when applied to a social product (1/2)

Why don’t any interviewers ever ask him: “do yo have any idea how f****t up that sounds?”

Elon forgot "Fascist echo chamber" on his list. Weird.

Why would I trust him with my money when he can't be trusted with his?

Bright wasn't bad, Elons neuro link is Theranos 2.0

Is this the Bright with Will Smith? If it was made without Will Smith, it could've been better and had more world building sequels...

he wants another paypal?
BoboTheIceMan
I mean look what happened with him and paypal last time.

I think right before he was replaced at PayPal he was trying to rebrand it as “x.com” so I guess some ideas or ambitions just linger?

EXCEPT for the half of the population who are already in with the “The world sucks because people need to be more selfish” vibes.
