If Elon manages to monetize disinformation like FB did years ago and turns a profit, I will stop tweeting, mainly because I'll be too busy battling the flying pig menace to tweet.
So if you want to make the world's richest man poorer
- Don't buy #TSLA
- Tweet a LOT. Every tweet costs him money.
- Click "I don't like this ad" on every ad or even block EVERY advertiser you see on Twitter
You gotta Jean Ralphio the guy
And of course, regularly tweet @elonmusk telling him he's by far the dumbest and weakest rich man ever in a world that also includes Donald Trump and Peter Thiel.
One more idea someone suggested was that keep requesting your archive cos that's extra work and space for the servers. 🤣🤣
You can't spell Makkhichus without Musk. @elonmusk when under influence loves to pretend he is very generous but his mouth regularly writes checks his ass can't cash.
He's fretting over a measly billion and wants to gut infrastructure to save money. Poorest rich guy ever.
"Musk can spend $5 million a day on Twitter and still not run out of money for a 100 years whereas you'll never make 5 million in your life"
Why are you telling me this lol? Tell that cheapskate @elonmusk who is acting like he doesn't know where his next meal is coming from. 🤣
Remember when @elonmusk a presumed high of whatever he was on that time, he promised to spend $6 bn on world hunger and when UN said okay, here's the plan, he's like no you get that 75 cents per human only if hunger is totally eliminated. And reneged like he always does.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

I used to really like @mtaibbi & an amazed that he thinks he is exposing something major or sinister.
Yes Twitter responded disproportionately more to Dem concerns cos Trump & GOP lied disproportionately more! Like straight up lies!
Twitter isn't a public utility. It's a..
.. Private company. It has no obligation to fairness. It had obligations to its shareholders. And thus advertisers. And it's their damn company and a free service. They will platform and deplatform whoever they want. How is this remotely connected to free speech?
This is a uniquely Indian sentiment that I find so bizarre. The idea that I as a business prof should automatically worship the richest man and his strategy. When my job is the exact opposite. To cut through the media, pink paper, investor spin. And assess him on basics. He fails
At least in US business school circles and conferences, a majority of profs think like me and talk like me. They just aren't as much into tweeting like I am.
There are so many obvious chinks in his myth. And his business practices are universally known as self serving.
Wall Street, Pink Papers, News channels, and especially story hungry silicon valley media have very different incentives than mine. My job is to teach students in a way that a decade later they remember, Sabnis taught us exactly about how this is BS and this isn't BS.
Facebook also restricted the Biden story for a few days. What exact bombshell Clyde thinks he has, who knows? Unless it's just to sic his fanboi gang on a bunch of former senior Twitter execs. Whom he seems to truly loathe. And the feeling seems mutual.
This asshat is such a waffler. Storm in a tea spoon but he's acting like it's plutonium just to suck up to Trump into starting to tweet.
It's such a transparently obvious plan. He saw how Trump ranted at Zuck over the laptop story. Zuck don't give a fuck.
This forever thirsty @elonmusk is like ooh ooh if I throw some Twitter alum under the bus, maybe Donald will be my friend. And return to Twitter.
Yesterday, Calhoun vs Florescu in Babbio lobby arguing, George trashing soccer as boring and Ionut trashing baseball as boring. 🤣🤣 George wants the offside rule gone. Ionut wants baseball to penalize time wasting.
Daylight half moon over Manhattan reminded me of a question this American lady asked at a star gazing event in Chile.
"At home, it looks like a D. Why does it look like a filled out C here"
And the host got so excited, "Because the earth is round not flat! This proves it!"
The same moon at the same moment from the same longitude, actually looks very different at... mastodon.social/@gauravsabnis/…
Oh yes, those are all from NYC. Or rather Jersey.
But you're in Melbourne. Almost 40 South. Starting mid afternoon to midnight your today, the half moon will be visible to you too. Notice it's orientation. It will be like a filled C.
"prof small suggestion. Instead of 'BJP will lose Gujarat' how about #BJPwillLose Gujarat. Then we can trend that hashtag for different elections. Trends drive TV news."
Brilliantly useful. See, this is useful resistance even in the smallest way. This is how to not be useless.
