I would love to know what level of penalties they were going to start levying against twitter for the sign to get them to take it down so quickly.

You’d think they had built in some kind of dimmer for it. Did Musk specifically tell them to build a sign without anyway of dimming it?

The cliche is "going down in a blaze of glory", Elon, not "blaze your glory". Like this: "X is going down in a blaze of glory!"

That would be uncharacteristically self-aware, though.

Elon is a good example of where a guy should've just stayed in his lane - cars, rockets and advancing tech.

He would've done himself a world of favours if he was just one of those billionaires with a minimal online or social media presence who deferred to his marketing staff for that stuff.

He had to go stick his hands in the clay and now he doesn't know where or when to stop.

Naw. His lane is way more just taking credit for other people's work. Musk played no part in the actual design and invention process. He was a guy with a lot of money who said...let's build an electric car. He did a brilliant job of marketing himself and Tesla and paid (horribly underpaid by many accounts) people who knew what they were doing to create the vehicles.

tweet is now gone, replaced with 'POST' now that's some business genius level thinking, throwing away a term that everyone knows, is indelibly connected to your brand and separates it from all other social media only to replace it with a word that makes your site seem like little more than an generic email client

For all the dumb #### the man does with his businesses, people sure talk about him a lot. If you subscribe to the belief "any publicity is good publicity" he's killing it. I'm no fan of his, will never buy a tesla, never had Twitter, but he keeps people talking about him, for better or worse.

Yeah it is insane to think a year ago you could say "Did you see that Kanye Tweet", and you knew exactly where to go. And now it'll be...

"Did you see that Kanye post"

"On Facebook?"

"No"

"On Reddit?"

"No"

"On Instagram?"

"No..."

"On CP?"

"Kanye has a CP burner? But no..."

"On MySpace?"

"Sure, why not?"

Normally Elon jumps into a company to take credit for all the ground work others have laid, but this time he seems intent on destroying it.
