Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, January 29, 2023

In the three months since Musk bought Twitter for 44bn, thousands have been sacked and the company has nosedived. Here, staff tell of a firm in disarray and an owner whose reputation is also plummeting.

Madboomer, a poster here who many "lefties" here refer to as one of the good ones who wants to execute gay people, needs you you understand that you should listen to and follow "your betters."

So make sure you do that.

What's happening to twitter should be studied as an example of why you never let a man-child take control of a business.

"Musk claims he always intended to be Twitter's CEO only temporarily."

^
Not sure how MadBomber became part of this thread, but MadBomber of all people should see the striking parallel to the "Temporary Dictatorship" necessary to oversee the transition to Communism -- which never stopped being a Dictatorship.

@#1 ... Elon ain't so smart. ...

Oh, I disagree.

In my view, it is not how intelligent Mr Musk is.

The discussion is ... how does he apply that intelligence that he has?

Just make sure you help as many gay people onto the cars as you can.

Whisper soothing words to them.

Let them know it'll be ok.

Lamplighter wouldn't say anything like that.

I know him and he doesn't write that way.

It sounds like something that I might write. >:)

Nope.

However, they would intentionally derail a thread to protect the sacred status quo.

@#7 ... ust make sure you help as many gay people onto the cars as you can. ...

So, once again, your current alias shows it has nothin' besides trolling..

Ya know, the comments your current alias posts are starting to sound a whole lot like other prior aliases here. Aliases that have seemed to try to morph as time progresses.

Fun stuff, even in light of the vacuous nature of their comments.

Good tune...

Kind of weird that you would be allowed to continue to post here, and also that someone like lamplighters current alias would get along, in'nit?

Unless of course the two of you are planning to help gay people on to those rail cars..

#15 | POSTED BY GAL_TUESDAY

What reputation are you talking about?

That he platforms White supremacists, or that he invented the subway a couple hundred years after the subway was invented?

Or do you hug the folks who will help the gays on to the rail cars as well?

"What reputation are you talking about?"

His reputation as some kind of genius, which I think he took too much to heart, and that coupled with his narcissistic personality has led to his destruction of Twitter, his own wealth and said reputation.

Yeah, now your current alias appears to be making up things.

Similar to prior aliases, bellringer, et al.

So, is that the group of aliases your current wants to be associated with?

@#12 ... don't know what a single word of that means, #9 ...

So, you seem to be saying that your current alias does not have a clue about what your current alias posts?

Is your alias at all cognizant?

My current alias would like to be associated with the group that laughs at you daily.

As I do.

As we all do.

As I and as we all will continue to do.

I'd ask which group your alias wants to be associated with, but there isn't a question that fewer people I've ever met wants an answer to, save "what would you like for me to do with your severed penis?"

thx

Do try harder.

Oh...

So you're a liberal who is merely ok with right wingers murdering gay people.

A distinction without a difference.

Do try harder.

Oddly, that was my thought regarding the comments your current alias has posted. Project much?

So let me ask you directly, does your current alias have anything to contribute besides trolling?

Hard to tell, troll.

Check the current threads I have on the front page.

You seem to have the support of people who, by their own admission, want to murder gay people.

Yer up.

Elon invents companies. He certainly did NOT invent the electric car.

He bought Tesla. Basically he became the largest shareholder investing $6.5 million dollars thereby effectively owning the company and becoming its CEO. His genius is in "inventing" or buying leading (bleeding) edge companies.

Much like Bill Gates did with DOS.

And turned Tesla from a "cool" reputation to an eye roll thinking of the idiot who's benefiting from their sales.

Couldn't come at a worse time for Tesla. Unlike the past, competitors are breathing down their necks with new EVs.

Tesla just posted a massive profit. Turns out if you eschew the dealer system so you can screw the customer without an intermediary, defund your service department, and make minor production efficiency gains you can make a lot of money.

#34 | Posted by sitzkrieg at 2023-01-31 10:21 AM | Reply

and people will not only clamor to be screwed directly, but complain about the dealer system in the process ^^

This industry would be great if it weren't for the customers.

Which means po'd customers, which means more bad publicity and loss of the old Tesla sheen.

Musk has single-handedly, in a few short months, changed perceptions of Tesla from a "cool company" to one run by a ego maniacal jerk.

When asked about his Qtard political activism harming tesla on the recent investor call, elon's response was to totally dodge the question and brag about the number of twitter followers he has.

As if a big number of followers (and mostly bots) on twitter somehow justifies destroying the wealth of tesla investors.

He's techno trump, bragging about the ratings that result from being a human car crash.

Bad customer service never hurt Tesla, that's the real irony. It's never been about the Cars or quality.

"Something is broken" and Elon doesn't know what to make of it:

Twitter appears to be broken, the smartest person in the world who knows more about tech and every other subject than anyone doesn't know why, and the people who can fix it have all been fired.
