That was my initial thought although his other businesses are focused on incredible technology.

Twitter is just a place where humanity can shed its humanity.

All he has to do with the former is roll out amazing cars etc. Which he's really good at.

Can you pay for the blue verification then keep changing your name without paying extra?

You could do a lot of damage during an $8 spree

Musk has apparently done something quirky on Twitter (shutting down microservices?), which means if you have 2FA SMS and log out you can't log back in. So don’t log out and change to a different 2FA method or get rid.

I'm hoping trump picks Musk as his running mate.

Looking forward to seeing TRUMPMUSK flags fluttering from pick up trucks, RVs & boats everywhere.

Like I said on page 1 or 2...the bloke is an absolute wrong un.

If I went into work and discovered my boss was sleeping there, I'd think they were a sad little person who needs to go and get a life.

The fact he says he pretty much spends all his time working with little to no exceptions speaks volumes. All about the almighty dollar with him.

Some people are so poor that all they have is money. I hope his workforce deserts him.

Summed up perfectly by some Paul Heaton Lyrics

My big issue, delivered in rainstorm or blizzard
So I don't touch the hand of the poor
The gate is so high, the hedges touch the sky
So it's only the butler what saw
When I go to the bank and I check my account
It's always okay, it's all there
I wish I could sing for the same for my friends
I'm a lonesome and sad millionaire

I think it's all about ego personally.

If it was all about money he wouldn't have bought Twitter that's for sure.

I don't understand these things particularly well but was very surprised to hear Twitter was losing huge sums of money. Every business should be on there let alone media, personalities, individuals...

It could be a personal challenge of his to make it work.
