I think that the likeliest outcome is he will ruin the platform and then sell it for a small fraction of what he paid, to whoever wants to buy it - probably some controversial figure who is also an edgelord - at which point Twitter will have officially died.
But people should recall that for this to happen, not only conman Musk was needed; you also needed the previous owners of Twitter, who obviously only cared about trapping Musk and getting away with easy money and couldn't care less about Twitter or its users  (nod)

I thought of a nerdy (and likely worse than just bad) joke, so I will write it, sorry in advance  :=

If we assume that Trump is a derivative of Musk, then Biden is the antiderivative of Musk, and with Musk clearly being a linear function with huge slope (his ego) => Biden = half of a very large number times X^2.
Which makes sense, since Biden is in many ways a parable.

Quote from: Mandle on Sun 13/11/2022 23:58:52What if actually IS trying to improve the world and has correctly identified Twitter as something that needs to be destroyed as part of this master plan?!

(I don't believe this by the way, but it would be a good excuse for him to use when Twitter goes under)

So Musk is the living embodiment of the  := emoticon

But Facebook still exists (and is meaningful eg if you want a group for your work/ I use it for the people who enlist in my online literature seminars). I never used Instagram and know nothing about it :/ Twitter is very good for indie art projects (including computer games)

Musk just sucks and should be identified as a massive conman.

If you are the owner or ceo of a huge platform, the last thing you should do is try to be a star in it. Reminds me of what happened with the ceo of Reddit who was altering posts by people who were writing against him. But Musk is a lot worse, and I agree that it seems he did buy Twitter simply out of spite and because he is so angry his recklessness was used against him.
I see him as a luckier version of Elizabeth Holmes, and at some point tesla (yes, with a small "t", Tesla himself was a giant := ) stock won't be overpriced - if/when that happens, his fall will be instant.
It was also a major error of judgement by Musk to invite more scrutiny on him by buying a platform so many people use. Before the Twitter saga with him started, I never looked into his credentials and was very surprised to find that he has no actual scientific (or math) degree to speak of. He is just pretending to be a science/math guy when he is another conman.

"Let that sink in"  :-X

I hope the art part of Twitter will survive, but yes, Twitter may be literally destroyed by this idiot.

General Discussion / Will Musk ruin Twitter?

I think he will. He is really the last person who should have been allowed to buy Twitter - so you can also thank (apart from Musk's ridiculous recklessness) the greedy Twitter previous owners who couldn't resist selling.

I love the GK games soundtracks...
But the music he and his daughter are making doesn't really remind me of those :)
Did the Gray Matter game bomb? (youtube search led to ost for it by them, which sounds nice)


Don't underestimate the Knight's family tragic poet-samurai appeal, Grace :D

What I don't get about Popeye (who iirc is based on a real sailor) is how he can smoke from the other side of his (drawn) mouth. Very Picasso-esque  :=

I don't know it :/ But It seems to be the derivative of a scifi, and in that case, since scifi series are all defined as f(x)=x^π, this should be πx^π-1

Hercule Poirot  (wrong)
Haven't seen the episode, maybe it is a flashback and Poirot is played by another actor. Either way, can't say it looks good :D

I watched a let's play of it. I guess it makes sense to decapitate someone just to take his shovel :D

There are all sorts of weird formats for detective stories, and I think that it's extremely rare to get realism to be memorable...
For example, something like Chesterton's "The Invisible Man", has incredible holes or eclectic elements in it and the format is almost amateurish, but still includes a memorable passage (because it was so ominous).

Then again, even what is often referred to as "the first detective story", is very unrealistic and has a peculiar format (Murders in the Rue Morgue). It's a memorable story, though.
