      29.2 tweets a day?

      At a rate of 10,658 tweets a year, I’d hope he tweets at least one useful thing

        Tesla board member and close Musk confidant Antonio Gracias once took Musk’s phone away to prevent him from tweeting late into the night, Isaacson said during a Twitter Spaces event on Wednesday.

        “At one point when Elon was firing off tweets without filtering them in the least, they were on a trip and Antonio took his iPhone — Elon’s iPhone — and locked it in the hotel safe with Antonio punching in the code so that Elon couldn’t get up at 3 a.m. and start tweeting again,” Isaacson said, describing Gracias as “one of Elon’s closest friends.”

        Musk later got hotel security to open the safe at around 3 a.m. so he could start tweeting again, Isaacson said.

        The biographer added that Musk is “almost addicted to the drama that comes with Twitter” and sees owning Twitter as a way he can be “king of the playground.”

        “It’s something he loves — loves almost to the point of compulsion,” Isaacson said, adding that some of his friends, including his brother Kimbal Musk, attempted to convince him not to buy Twitter.

    These comments are insane. Even Hitler washed his hands. Are you gonna stop doing that just cause a piece of shit agreed it was good?

        It’s an expression. In this context Elon is the broken clock and saying desktops should run Linux is one of the rare times he’s been right about something.

          rare times he’s been right about something.

          Started a space company, and an EV company. Both longshots, both wildly successful.

          Bought Twitter. Laid of 80% of the employees. Still runs totally fine.

          Your position is nakedly indefensible. I’d be curious what you think he’s actually wrong about.
