It looks like something you’d see airbushed onto the cab of a big American truck in Idaho

Perfect 😀

That really is quite something. Its difficult to know where to start with that?

Not too hard - I think that was an option in Wordart ca. Office 97?

I’m picturing the ‘design process’ as being like those episodes of the apprentice, where an inexplicably overconfident photocopier salesman from Telford is trying to tell the long-suffering designer at a top London design agency what to do

Except this time it’s for real and he actually owns the company

The result certainly looks like something an Apprentice contestant would come up with

I’d love to read the brief the designer got from Elon 🤣

”Give me what I want.”

That’s a parody, surely?

That's what I thought but, unbelievably, it appears to be genuine

It makes perfect sense if you pair it with this I think. I like it.

I hope that’s not a cheap shot at Bigfoot!

It's exactly like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer designs a car

There's got to be years worth of PhD theses out of the likes of Musk, Trump and Putin. Vastly wealthy overconfident egotistical jerks who have spent their whole lives surrounded by Yes Men.

A study in what happens when you give a total bellend any form of power.

This pretty much sums up my experience of working in TV tbh

When does it start becoming an issue owning a tesla and feeling like you have chosen to support this guy? We had someone at work who just bought one explaining their choice in detail a bit too much.

If he carries on selling Tesla stock to fund his Twitter habit the conflicted Tesla owners may have less of a problem soon

I'd say he's already alienated a big chunk of his customer base, but then he may well be on his way to winning over another chunk. He seems to be alligning himself with the Trump/MAGA lot, and Trump never really budged up or down much from 40% in the polls

I wonder if he'll be kicked out of Tesla by his own board for being too much of a liability?

The Trump/MAGA lot have previously been very attached to their big ICE powered trucks.
Maybe this is all just a plan to sell them electric vehicles?!?

It's nonsense. He'd planned to get someone in anyway. The same will happen if you press Yes or No.

Lots of people saying on twitter that Jared Kushner is lining up to take over. I'm not awake enough to work out how true that might be.

They’re saying Jared as he was stood next to him apparently at the World Cup

And as we all know, two people in the same photo …

perhaps the brief was:

That logo is fantastic. Looks like a forgotten early 80’s video games developers logo

That poll needs a "don't care anymore" option.

This was amusing although it does also show how hard it is to link to mastodon.

Ah right, so he'll step down when someone takes the job that clearly no one is going to take... excellent way of getting out of sticking to the poll results.

I'll be a bit disappointed if he does step aside.

I wanted to see the platform razed to the ground and then the earth salted.

Always thought it was full of obnoxious clever dicks vying for attention and putting other people down, so it was somehow fitting that he ended up buying the bloody thing.

Its a hobby gone mad for him though.
Not sure who would want the job bearing in mind chances of him actually relinquishing control would be practically zero.

Pretty clear from the comment that they didn't look at it.

Mastodon sounds like a homoerotic hair metal band, but on the flip side it also sounds like a mains vibrator. I might have a look at it.

On the BBC website, a quote from a former Twitter staff member.
"I imagine he's getting pressure from investors to step down and is using this poll to make it look like he's following the will of the people instead of the will of those paying his bills."

I've chiefly looked at Twitter in order to write news articles about it, in past jobs.

Perhaps that means I saw the worst of it, but nothing I saw made me want to go there in my spare time.

It's widely acknowledged as the most toxic and problematic social network. We'd be better off without it IMO.
