Elon Musk

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 like it.

That’s bumped it up to two, then

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

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

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

Give me something unique that others wont try and copy?

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.

I was a STW moderator. QED.

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

Nice pics of him at the world Cup final with the various quatari leaders and jared kushner……
Nothing dodgy there at all move along

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?

As happened with PayPal?

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?!?

Yup, he’s got the lentil knitting segment covered, next target is the cousin ****.

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

Coward.

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 …

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

perhaps the brief was:

make it like

something you’d see airbushed onto the cab of a big American truck in Idaho or somewhere

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

“I want something that will appeal to Trump’s NFT buyers…”

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.

I don’t think he ever was going to stay….. he’s got bigger fish to fry.

You know you don’t have to look at it, right?

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.”
