I find it fascinating to watch overall, but yeah how billionaires decide to administer their website isn’t really technology. Categorizing it as such feels like a consequence of a decision some boomer made back in the 90s to administer their newspaper that got adopted by default as the method websites are administered (which still isn’t technology).
Cool. Good article - which shows exactly what I said.
Solve is not the same as reduce/improve/alleviate.
As Musk knew full well when he tweeted it. No one has a solution for it, the best you can do is alleviate it for a bit.
Is he being a pedantic dick ? Yes. Did the original tweeter provide a plan to solve world hunger. No.
He provided a plan to reduce world hunger for a time. It’s not a solution, it’s a reduction in misery which I’d be very happy if Musk paid for. But it’s not making world hunger entirely go away even short term let alone long term.
It’s possible. He literally burnt an extra 150 million dollars by bumping his offer for twitter to 54.20 just to make it a stupid 420 meme. It’s not like he doesn’t have the money to pay those bills.
He’ll never actually do it. He simply wants to encourage more people to say outrageous things so engagement levels increase as everyone does dumb shit.
When I look at the current state of the internet, I pine for the simpler days of the nineties when a/s/l and stormfront.org look downright warm and fuzzy in comparison. That was just weird individuals being weird. Now it’s institutionalized across the entire Internet.
He’s eating his children! I knew this day would come I just didn’t expect it to be so obvious! He needs engagement so he is going to incite people to say crazy things and then they are going to get in trouble and never be able to get a hold of him. He’s just literally fucking with the US government right now. I don’t know why but I think Musk is flexing his political strength in a way that he doesn’t realize will destroy him.
If any right-wing nutjob is reading this: You should count on him actually paying for you. Go wild! But make sure to use your public profile so people don’t think you’re a bot!
They are actually responsible for paying arbitration for all the ex-employees suing the company after Twitter argued in court that they must go through arbitration. Last I heard was that they were having trouble paying these legal costs as well.
He’s not offering it to former employees, but they should absolutely go for it very very publicly. Musk is fishing for money from Trump and Kanye, it’s probably some kind of laundering scheme.
Trump is very obviously not coming back to Twitter, doesn’t have an employer, and he’s offering to pay for the service, not charge for it, so I’m not sure how that theory pans out.
