> Why is that amazing?

PG mocked those who thought we would end up here.

[shanebellone]

PG confuses me. Sometimes he seems extremely rational but other times he tweets obvious fallacies.

[jacquesm]

I think that spells 'human'.

[shanebellone]

Weird, I thought it spell 'incongruence'.

[dnissley]

Where is "here" exactly?

[pavlov]

Every promise Musk made about Twitter broken in less than two months?

[wpietri]

And the demolition of Elon's image as a tech/business genius. If I'd set out to wreck his reputation, I could not have done half the job Musk has done since he bid for Twitter.

[jacquesm]

The big question now is how much damage can he do? To the world, not just Twitter.

[fragmede]

If he wanted to? The man has his own ICBMs and a fleet of land-based remote control bombs in Tesla, not to mention access to all archived DMs on Twitter. There's no way he pulls anything off, because we don't live in a comic book, but it's worrisome to realize that such an "eccentric" visibly has that kind of access.

[jacquesm]

Hm, the remote controlled bombs angle is one I hadn't clued in to yet. The ICBM one was clear. For both you'd hope that if he tried anything like that his employees would perform a citizens arrest and hand him over to DHS.

[ALittleLight]

I'm not sure what the damage is supposed to be, in apart from to Musk and co-investors. There are enough alternatives, including Mastodon - that people will still be able to share short form content if Twitter disintegrates.

[jacquesm]

Twitter has the ability to start revolutions and change the course of the war in Ukraine by manipulating support or a lack thereof.

Just imagine the kind of damage that would ensue if for instance all of Twitters DMs became somehow public.
