Well, he used to have a really good PR team, along with teams at Tesla and SpaceX to prevent him from breaking anything important.
Then he fired the PR team and took direct control of a company that didn't have a team of handlers.
We're now seeing the real Musk instead of Musk filtered through teams of competent people.
All he had to do was sit in his money bunker and make dumb tweets about harmless things and he'd have eventually died a legendary figure.
Now he's infamous for a totally different reason. I mean look at Richard Branson. That could be Elon right now, as the worst case scenario. Some hyper-rich dude that most people are aware of but that you never hear much negative on in the media. He just kinda exists, does billionaire stuff. Heck, even Bezos right now. When's the last time you saw Bezos show up negatively in the news? And neither of them had a full on cult of personality forming around them.
This is why I'm not sweating it when Reddit didn't immediately implode and die due to the protests and blackouts. It's going to take time, but if they keep going in the direction they are, eventually only the low lifes will want to be there.
Reddit is winning right now. You still get the daily digests from them? The stuff it's suggesting to me is wild. You'd never even see it if a lot of the website's traffic didn't suddenly get thanos snapped.
We need an /r/nottheonion
Not the onion@lemmy.ml should be what you're looking for
Are there supposed to be spaces in the community name?

It seems like Elon is mad that his tweets are getting blocked, and has issues not being in control of that.
I believe in the long run there will be a focus on development for better, customizable, algorithmic discoverability, because as much as the Silicon Valleys algorithms are harmful, there are still benefits to them. For example I had to mute some interesting accounts, because their posting frequency floods my timeline. Hopefully it won't be necessary in the future.

I was never a twitter user, but from the headlines I've seen it makes me think that Musk has some slimy back deal that will pay him off somehow if he torpedoes the site.
Didn't he put someone new in charge a while ago? Why is he still so involved?
It's a thing with large corporations that want to do something unpopular, and she probably knows he's doing it. Hire a woman to be a CEO, do ALL SORTS of nasty things that she can't directly veto because you're the owner, then fire her for the backlash to those things and come in as a conquering hero.
The Ellen Pao effect.
I created a new twitter account, blocked every conservative I could find, and now just post "Fuck Donald Trump" in all the popular threads. Twitter has to make sure none of those nitwits see my post and Watermelon Musk has to pay for the processing. Petty, but I'm not sweating.
thanks for using Leebra!

Watching this man's trainwreck is so mind boggling. I mean just a decade ago he had every single one of us believing he was real life Tony Stark. I mean even pop culture sci fi like Star Trek mentioned him along Sagen and Einstein... He really pulled the wool over our eyes.
