Elon says the code is "crazy" and needs to be "re-written." OK, so what specifically is broken and what does a "re-write" look like? He doesn't know. It's clear to me that Elon has someone he trusts that knows something about coding and told him there were problems, or at least opportunities, with the code. Elon is just parroting that but cant hang technically to explain or expand. How are you going to lead a team of developers if you cant even tell them what to do, let alone how to do it. The dude is way out over his ski tips.

Anyone who thinks Elon is some Mensa genius who is executing a plan that we are all too stupid to understand needs to watch that Reddit clip ryan stewart posted and reconsider.
that is hilarious lmao... that was a question that could have in a way been simply answered... he could have said we can start with the skeleton, take a look at what that looks like and sketch out other ideas... instead he stuttered and was entirely confused

Then he massively plays the government and uses tax payer funds and tax credits to the absolute max and gives back nothing... CA built his business on incentives and he is happy to take the Green Money but when it comes to paying anything he runs off into TX (a tax free state)... shadiness at its best.

Then this twitter mess is another level... he must know he really F'd that one up...
I always find it funny when people complain about the wealthy using tax loopholes to their advantage.

Who wouldnt? I don't know one person, regardless of their wealth, that doesnt try to maximize their credits and deductions.

Now, if you are someone who takes no deductions or credits and overpays your taxes because you love giving to the government, then I guess you can bring up how Elon doesnt do that.

Its because he is basically that kid who learned some cool words. He learned about "the stack." He doesn't know what it means but he loves to just use it over and over again.

I think most people who are capable of thought don't think "billionaires should voluntarily pay more," they usually think "our tax system should not be setup where someone could be worth $100B and pay zero in income taxes because we created a loophole where they can borrow against their wealth instead of taking income and then get a tax credit, effectively eliminating their burden when they do liquidate portions of stock to eventually pay those off."

But nevermind me, Im not an expert.

Also should note in that exchange I believe it was a group of the ex-twits that musk asked to come back to assist, so they were fired and then he had to go get them back, meaning that if they were smart they had an employment agreement that would make them comfortable enough to talk to a megalomaniac like that.

Dude is clueless. Shocker from a dropout how had to have his degree manufactured after the fact.
He might look like a twit in that video but to say that he's clueless is a bit rich, he is literally the richest man in the universe and pretty much self made. I suspect he's a bit of an idiot savant, clearly a bit awkward but I suspect his mind works differently than yours and mine.

That was directed to ASAP in jest...not Elon. When it comes to Elon, I'm just sitting here with my bag of popcorn, entertained.

In truth, I guess no popcorn at the moment, but a rather nice take on the Amaretto sour where you add a splash of bourbon / whiskey. In my case, used a cinnamon whiskey that I wasn't otherwise going to drink and its turned out quite well.

If I had my way, I’d load up Musk and Twitter into a SpaceX rocket and blast them into space…never to be heard again

9 month check in time on the 4-dimensional chess player Elon and his master plan to buy Twitter. A low IQ guy such as myself couldn’t see the genius of his plan at the time but now, well now I still don’t see it. Guess I’m just dense.

Anyone else wondering if Elon wishes he could build a time machine and undo his purchase?

I knew someone who had a private (non-broker, only his own money) seat on the stock exchange. He took joy in throwing away $500K of his own money to make the guy behind him in line cry over losing $5K. When you have more than enough money, you can afford to throw some away just for the sport of it.....

He wanted to reshuffle the management deck. That’s about all I can see. Probably isn’t in it for the money. But I am confident he will find a way to make money on the deal.
