The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow

I never heard of it before and I've been on Twitter since its inception.

I’m sure there is plenty of sh*t going on at Twitter you aren’t aware of @torbee That isn’t evidence of anything.

The former regime refused to take town child pornography even when the victim begged them to take it down.

Now that’s f*cked up. But I’m sure you have no problem associating with your friend who worked there and did nothing to fix that. Do you?

Well he was a global sales manager, so no. Not at all.
 
What is really kind of amazing here, is how EASY it is to avoid having this type of content on your site, and "preferred" with autocomplete search tools (Google, and many many others do this every day, and Twitter HAD it in place before Musk).

So, with something as black/white as "animal torture", you have to wonder how all the disinformation campaign nonsense will become ubiquitous, as much of that is more difficult to ferret out.

Musk has had a habit of "turning things off" that affect his rightwing troll minions, then finding out what the consequences are, later.

@Phenomenally Frantastic laps that shit up.

That $45B investment gonna pay off in spades when he gets the kickbacks from authoritarian regimes doing his online bidding.

One wonders where Tesla would be (compared to now) had Elon decided to stay away from politics. I get it's doing well but how much better could it be doing?

During Tesla’s Q4 2022 conference call following the release of its financial results, Musk was asked a question about his impact on Tesla’s reputation:

Since Elon started political influencing, polls from Morning Consult & YouGov show Tesla brand favorability declining in 2022 and division along partisan lines. Such brand damage can impact demand. Does Tesla track favorability and how will any brand damage be mitigated?
The question is a serious one that was requested by over 3,000 Tesla retail investors. Musk decided to dismiss the question with a response that can be best described as douchey.

He started out by literally bragging about how many people are following him on Twitter, as if this is any indicator of his impact on Tesla’s reputation:


Well, let me check my Twitter account (pause as he appears to actually pull out his phone). So I got 127 million followers and it continues to grow rapidly. That suggests that I’m reasonably popular. Now I might not be popular with some people, but for the vast majority of people, my follower count speaks for itself. I have the most interacted social account maybe in the world – certainly on Twitter.
