  I just read the mail he sent to employees last night. In which he asks them to agree to a hardcore work culture or get fired.

  I guess to get people to work for you under such a leadership, you have to pay above normal salaries? Twice of what is normal? Or what other reason would people have to continue work at Twitter?

  I don't understand this web. At first I thought it was about things he said he will do but he didn't. But there are some things he already did, like Teslaquila. So maybe it's just a site to share all the braggadocios that he has said in the last years?

  "Like Donald Trump, But For Nerds"

  Lol! Accurate description. A.k.a. narcissistic personality disorder

  > Like Donald Trump, But For Nerds

  True, though not in the way the author intended.

  and yet this man makes waay more money than me.

  Maybe it's a sign that I should quit the weed for a bit and go play capitalism with the rest of the nerds.

  It's amazing all the new hate for Elon coming out just because he outed himself as not a Democrat and in favour of free speech.

  Go back two years and all the left loved him due to Tesla and nerds loved him due to Starlink, SpaceX etc.

  1,020 days since Elon Musk said Coronavirus would be similar to the flu. (1/31/2020)

  Turns out he was right. How many of the other quotes are based on the same misleading narrative?
