5 tweets about Elon Musk by Jeff Tiedrich:

holy fucking shit, the RiChEsT mAn On ThE pLaNeT is melting straight the fuck down and throwing a shit-fit for the ages because we peons aren't worshiping him enough and I for one am so fucking tired of broken-inside men-children inflicting themselves on us just because they can

I still can't fucking believe that Henry Kissinger is going to outlive twitter. that shit just blows my mind

Elon Musk is that kid who smashed all of his toys within the first twenty minutes on Christmas morning, and then he came over to your house and smashed all of yours

why is tHe SmArTeSt MaN iN tHe UnIvErSe blaming me for his failure to run a web site

you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat the people who work for them

In short, the man-child is fucked in his first year of Twitter ownership. Hope he enjoys making those interest payments out of his own personal wealth. A $1 billion dollar per year interest burn is serious business.

...when they takeover a company: strip it of all value (in this case a decade of user data valuable to fascists, political parties and advertisers alike), fire the employees and then when all value is extracted toss it aside or sell it as little more than a now-meaningless brand for scrap value.

My son's best friend worked for Musk straight out of college and his mother told me he was working 100 hours a week.

He's not there anymore.

That's priceless! All thanks to the petulant man-child.

Yes, man-child.

- Tesla ....doing what GM started in the freaking 80's. Whoop-dee doo.

- Space X ...Ask the Mercury 7 about that. Oh, that's right. You can't. They were launched into LEO so damn long ago they're all freaking dead.
