Elon on this BBC interview says that being under constant strain and attack has been rough and emotionally hurtful.

Really validating to get this kind of feedback. Ok this interview is painfully dumb. There was an extended Abbott and Costello on the dog being ceo. People. You need to Jonathan Swan an Elon interview.

Ryan Reynolds got asked by Jim Cramer "how do you do all the things you do?" which is the classic Elon question.

Ryan Reynolds started by naming the other members on his team. I have a theory that I will now just tweet instead of actually writing that Ryan Reynolds is the good Elon. By this I mean, he is a successful entrepreneur who understands that his critical skill is branding and marketing.

Listening to this Twitter Spaces where Elon is talking about the tech stack and it's clear that no one has been in a position to actually ask him a follow up question in years. He thinks he knows everything and simply will not abide someone contradicting that notion. Right after I sent this he demanded someone be cut off because he was pointing out correctly how ads work on the internet. Literally just said "cut him off"

Elon says "We will have to do a total rewrite to gain velocity" and immediately @igb is says "tell me what's so crazy about the stack; just describe it and how rewriting will gain you velocity"

You will be surprised to know he did not respond. Literally Elon’s response to “describe the stack and why it’s crazy” was “you are a jackass.”

His complaint is very much that there are too many lines of code. This is INSANELY low competency.

This one is so funny because Ross was on Bloomberg on 10/28 both endorsing the amazing possibilities of a web3 enabled twitter and auditioning to be on the Content Moderation Council (rip). There is a tremendously loyalty that occurs when someone makes you an unreal amount of money. I’ve seen this repeatedly. But when fortunes turn the bit can flip so fast it breaks the sound barrier.

Some context: there’s a complicated history of dominant social platforms trying to block emergent ones. But this is typically a fight at the API level. For example Facebook blocked Twitter from “find friends” functionality in 2010. Twitter reciprocated against Instagram in 2012. What Twitter is doing here is unprecedented. It is putting the restrictions on the user and in an incredibly broad way. As has been the case with the “doxx” policy this will be selectively enforced to punish Elon’s enemies. (It is doubtful Jack will have to remove his nostr link)

In addition to “releasing everything without filter” being a wildly dangerous thing to do to employees, it’s also clear the goal isn’t transparency to build trust. The goal is to cherry pick to breed conspiracy for specific partisan grievances. Image IF THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE RELEASE THE NAMES OF ALL CUSOTMERS WHO ORDERED PIZZA AT COMET PING PONG

It’s a very tailored apology: for the over hiring. But not for the lack of focus that can be argued led to the crisis. Nor, most critically, is it an apology for the full-throated embrace of Elon. I do give him credit for eventually saying anything and recognizing he was going to get lit up regardless
