Begs??? Wasn’t he the one that said: “Fuck yourselves” to advertisers??? I thought he didn’t need them… lol

Elon, I got some butterscotch in my pockets. They are nice and warm too…Why don’t you reach in there and grab ya a couple?

UltraGiGaGigantic ,

Anyone could be a CEO if this douche nozzle can. And for like 6-7 different corporations to by the way.

What do you say you do here elon?

Disagree. You have to be completely devoid of morals and ethics to be a CEO. Empathy too. Most of us have those things on at least some level.

Dasus ,

Only to be CEO of a massive capitalist company.

I’ve heard a few tales of some CEO’s (of very small companies) here in the Nordics actually being generous to their employees. Like it’s most definitely a rarity, but I believe it is possible.

Like a CEO who values profits but values employees and paying their fair share more and isn’t blinded by greed and addicted to money. A socialist, literally. A market socialist, but a socialist nonetheless.

Everyone could have their basic needs met, and we could still have rich people. Just not filthy rich, not “rich-to-the-point-no-one-else-has-anything” rich.

Well changing the name to “X” didn’t do him any favors

madcaesar ,

Twitter is a cute name. X just sounds like some perverted shit. Elon is a moron.

vaultdweller013 ,

Or an asshole, Being X from Saga of Tanya the Evil Comes to mind. Hell both Being X and Musk are petulant children who damand praise, I fucking hate it.

Threw away the branding, threw away the user base, threw away the advertisers, throw away the staff.

What exactly does he have left?

His ego🤣🤣😂😂😂

Leviathan ,

I Always thought he just wanted to flush xitter, it never occurred to me that he was actually trying to succeed.

pulaskiwasright ,

I think he was trying to dump Tesla stock without making it look like he didn’t have faith in the company. His plan was always to say he was buying it. sell a bunch of Tesla stock. Back out of the Twitter deal and walk away with a ton of cash.

He tried to get out of it based on a bunch of bullshit and then was surprised when a judge actually forced him to buy Twitter.

Praetorian ,

Now he wants shareholders to give him stock as he demands 25% of ownership plus he wants 56 billion payout. Meanwhile he’s firing whole departments.

limelight79 ,

I can’t find the exact quote right now, but I saw in another article he said something like, “If they don’t pay for advertisements, X will be gone. How sad!”

It seems Musk thinks he’s tending another Mona Lisa or some other world cultural artifact that society would hate to lose. Not some website that’s fairly easily recreated by, say, a bunch of hobbyists.

He just got approved for that big $40+ billion compensation package from Tesla so he’s got lots to work with.

Zorg ,

A single billion is an obscene amount of money for an individual, I can’t fathom how anyone can be worth/earn a billion in a couple of years.

PresidentCamacho ,

Exploitation is the answer.

vzq ,

He works really really hard ;)

Warp10Lizard ,

Yeah, you guys try making 20-30 xitposts a day. He deserves pay that is best expressed in scientific notation.

What’s absolutely insane to me, is that other CEOs think that’s fair and fine and that Elon is very smart and not a con artist? No wonder Elizabeth Holmes got so far. It’s just so obvious he’s not above board

31337 ,

Most CEOs are also conmen and not any smarter. It’s mostly just a nepotism racket at the executive level.

LustyArgonianMana ,
@LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world avatar

Yes

immutable ,

Don’t worry, he seems hard at work making sure all that Tesla stock he got will also be worth less everyday.

MeanEYE ,
@MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

To me it’s mental that stock holders would approve such package when company itself for its entire existence had income that is smaller than his “bonus”. Some people are downright stupid.

vaultdweller013 ,

Theyre wealthy not smart. The smart wealthy ones fade into obscurity, like Tom or that one distant uncle who lives in a cabin in the woods and juat kinda vibes.

tjsauce ,

We ought to normalize this phrase, it’s pure gold!

VinnyDaCat ,

Well, well, well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

Elon, yangot a 50 bil payout, just finance your dogshit website.

Voroxpete ,

The problem is that his payout, like the rest of his fortune, is in exceedingly overvalued Tesla stock. So using that to finance Twitter means selling, and every time he sells the price takes a hard dip because Tesla investors know they’re standing on a soap bubble and they are extremely nervous about it bursting. Any sudden uptick in sales pressure is liable to cause a small avalanche of investors abandoning ship.

The process of buying Twitter alone cut his net worth by half because of how much it cratered the Tesla stock price.

barsquid ,

Imagine being the wealthiest person on the planet and deciding to burn half of it to ensure that Nazis have an audience for their hot takes. Elon could have bought entire parks of grass to touch instead.

deeves ,

Hahah, so him personally bailing out Twitter with a cash infusion would kill Tesla in the process?

What a world.

Voroxpete ,

It wouldn’t kill Tesla, per se. A company’s stock price only really matters insofar as it helps them to carry debt. The company doesn’t actually directly gain or lose money based on the stock price. What it affects, primarily, is the shareholders of the company.
