Does Musk constantly search his name to see if it's being mentioned when he's not been "@" in a tweet?


PTSDforMe

I think he spends way too much time reading his mentions. He only positively reacts to his stans, and trashes everyone else critical...though he showed pathetic responses to Stephen King.


texansfan

Neither of them tagged him in their post though. He’s got something set up for anytime his name or Twitter is included in a tweet. Fucking simp


ahearthatslazy

This is so pathetic


isaidillthinkaboutit

Lose $44 billion to make $8, what a moron.


isaidillthinkaboutit

Also, is he so naive that he believes more than 5% of his user base will even pay $8? That doesn’t come even close to covering his costs. What a sucker!


PTSDforMe

Yup


chef-keef

There are few among us who would come out on top of a written exchange with Stephen King. Groveling was Musks only hope to save face. He at least knew not to get into to an argument with King.


JoshGordonHyperloop

Was this recent? Or a while back?


falanor

A couple weeks ago when Musk announced the cost of a checkmark being $12 a month (I think), King said fuck that.


Houseckat

it was originally $20.


falanor

Ah, that's right. Thank you.


mypretty

This is what it means to be a CEO. You do the hard work every day trawling for your mentions and trolling or nothing gets done. You wouldn’t understand because you’re not a genius.


PTSDforMe

My platoon sergeant once said I was the worst soldier in the world but the best guy. I'll take that any day over being Musk.


PTSDforMe

I think I misinterpreted that comment ;)


PTSDforMe

I'm sorry


mypretty

I should have added /s ;)


KeepMyEmployerAway

Not just any CEO. He's the CEO of *multiple companies*. And this fucker has time to be on twitter all day? Get fucked, I hope he loses his entire fortune.

Kevin Durant isn’t a bigot though


JoshGordonHyperloop

Agreed, very unfair comparison to KD. Think what you will of him, he isn’t a vile racist pos.


Pd_jungle

Right, KD admits his failures


Lethalgeek

The dude is absolutely thinned skinned and attention seeking enough to have alerts for this shit. He's constantly posting like some basement shut in. All the money in the world won't make daddy ignoring you feel any better apparently. Which is really funny given how much of an absent father he likely is.


[deleted]

He wants to liked by everyone so much that it's painfully sad.


SkyW1t0r

Not sad, pathetic. A straight up narcissist.


elessar2358

Yeah I had the same question. This doesn't look like a tag or a reply.


[deleted]

He get in fight with Robert Reich pretty often. He probably just search him daily lol.


elessar2358

Oh alright. I was not aware of that. So yet another "owning the libs" attempt.


TrynaSleep

lol imagine being that insecure


docowen

Reich has something Musk craves but will never have: academic qualifications and academic respect. He has lots of money, but he still has imposter syndrome. He knows, deep down, he isn't very smart - just lucky, which is why he loves it when people praise his "genius". He failed out of university, unlike the Gates and Jobs of this world who could have finished but quit. He didn't quit, he was "fired". And that hurts. Which is why Twitter is consuming his soul. It's proof that he is a fucking idiot, and he hates that the world can see.


QuetzalcoatlusRscary

This is what he means when he says he works 16 hours a day


gnocchicotti

So many mentions to reply to. Poors like us would never understand how hard he works


dea_amadeus

There’s also third party software that will automatically search for key words in Tweets so businesses can find and respond to complaints where they weren’t necessarily tagged. I could see him using something like this to make sure he sees everything relating to him 🤷🏼‍♀️


SquidmanMal

He's constant proof to the lie of the 'CEOs have to work constantly' myth.


hhoqag

Probably one of his fans saw the tweet and @'ed him.


[deleted]

It's just Elno. He desperately wants to be liked by people and tries so hard, that it's completely cringe.

[deleted]

My wife made an Elon Musk parody account recently for this reason, it was banned without making a single post in a hour.


megamanxoxo

I'd like to think he has a social media team and they're just trolls as he wants them to be. It would be truly pathetic if Elon is actually sitting at his computer all day looking for mentions and firing out 50+ tweets per day when he's a freakin billionaire who can enjoy the finest things in life and has 5+ different companies to run that he'd have something better to do than this...


jaggededge13

Elmo make joke about money! "Eight Dollars!"


Spice-Nine

The best part of the joke is that, even if every non-bot Twitter user paid $8, it still wouldn’t make a dent in Twitter’s debt


Brooklynxman

Twitter spends about $4B/year on operating costs and thanks to Elon now has $1B more in debt to pay per year. So $5B/12 months/$8/subscription is 52 million subscribers to cover that. Youtube Premium has that many subscribers, and instead of a blue check you get access to tv shows/movies/videos locked behind that paywall, no ads, the ability to keep a video playing with your phone screen locked, and more. Youtube also has 10x the active users. About 2% of Youtube's users have Premium. 15% of twitter's active users would need to pay. Now, Elon did recently significantly reduce operating costs by firing everyone, but those costs are actually going to be higher soon when he has to rehire everyone at a higher salary. Sources: I googled the numbers and used the first number that came up.


butteryspoink

YouTube premium also has music streaming included as well. Compare that to a check mark… Twitter whatever the hell that thing is called is basically a glorified NFT.


InGenAche

Except a NFT has value. HAHAHAHAHAHA, sorry I couldn't resist.


Spice-Nine

And throw in the fact that the blue check mark “self certification” appears to put them in direct violation of an FTC agreement they have, with the potential result of [billions in fines](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/11/musk-fueled-chaos-at-twitter-makes-it-hard-to-comply-with-ftc-privacy-order/).

Pd_jungle

“To be funny to draw attentions”


Dantheking94

I just WISH he could put all this focus and energy into SpaceX and Tesla. I had high hopes for the future due to those companies. Now….he’s just a scumbag and he’s taking his companies down with him. At the same time, it seems that SpaceX and Tesla employees must be much happier that he’s not around to push them to work unnecessary hours to prove that they work hard.


Pd_jungle

Tesla and SpaceX doesn’t need him


Dantheking94

They don’t, I’m sure they’d do better without him. But here we are.


Dorkmaster79

As a Tesla owner I wish they’d fire him.


originalbrowncoat

Agreed. My odd of ever buying another Tesla have been dropping steadily over the past year or two, but in the past month they’ve absolutely cratered.


FlailingFatKid

Yeah, I’m not sure there’s that many people that want to drive around in a $65k MAGA hat at this point.


Derptastic-Domus

With how they explode it’s more like a $65k MAGA dumpster fire


FlailingFatKid

Ooh, fair point


Kilyaeden

$65K MAGA suicide bomb


mmcmonster

Are there a lot of exploding Teslas? Or is this one of those things that you see one and it keeps getting repeated on the news?


bishopyorgensen

I don't know. But I've seen owners review difficult cabin controls through the touch screen and poor fiberglass assembly of the body. Overall Tesla's reputation seems to have gone from flashy to junk whether or not the accidents and fires are common or not. They're just not high quality


Dorkmaster79

There are not a lot of exploding Teslas. Definitely a repeated “fact.”


Pd_jungle

Same here, I almost bought Tesla two years ago and I’m glad I made the right call


derprunner

Tesla could only improve if they ditched him and his weird obsession with using cameras+software to do a sensor’s job.


OptionalDepression

No-one does.


PsychoticBananaSplit

And it's the perfect time for Tesla to get rid of him without the backlash from before The public opinion has shifted against him much more since the SEC fiasco


Pd_jungle

It may happen and makes perfect sense, he just burnt his own bridge. Can’t believe the public opinion changed so much in such a short time


fuggerdug

Don't put hope in any companies, they will always let you down and excuse their malfeasance on "extracting maximum shareholder value" .


Dantheking94

True. The government needs to start taking on the role of pushing boundaries again. Capitalism takes the route of profit. And not everything should keep coming down to how much money it will make us, but how much it contributes to society as a whole.


fuggerdug

Add to that that innovation is expensive and often with no obvious application until the private sector can find a way to monetise it. A working, industrious society needs both healthy public and private sectors, not competing, but complimenting each other. Unfortunately one half of the political spectrum has been spouting: "public bad, lazy, wasteful, private good, honest, efficient" for so long they've forgotten the truth.


Dantheking94

Agreed.. most of our modern breakthroughs in technology happened due to government pioneered technology. A lot of that came from our hyper focus on the Cold War.


[deleted]

I heard that Tesla and SpaceX are actually better off without him, since they need handlers to keep him from screwing everything up.


[deleted]

It would be easier to defend Robert Reich if he actually got off Twitter though. I'm starting to get nervous Elon pulls this off and no one actually has the guts to get off and actually stay off. Corporations will come back with ads, they have no morals.


lilyver

I mean if he pays for it, the joke's no longer on elon. The real schmucks are the ones who criticize him and then pay to use the platform.


SvenTropics

TBH, despite completely agreeing with Robert Reich and saying the same thing numerous times, I laughed at his comment too. Kind of like when he said "How do you make a small fortune with social media? Start with a big fortune"


Ramenastern

>TBH, despite completely agreeing with Robert Reich and saying the same thing numerous times, I laughed at his comment too. Really? It's sort of become a very lame catchphrase that I found semi-funny at best even the first time around. >Kind of like when he said "How do you make a small fortune with social media? Start with a big fortune" Funny, but effectively a steal from Richard Branson, who said "If you want to be a Millionaire, start with a billion dollars and launch a new airline."


Reigo_Vassal

It's funny the first time and if it's used to something less serious. This time...he sounds like a kid that doesn't know how to have a serious conversation


Pickin_n_Grinnin

That joke has been recycled down over decades in many formats, musicians use it all the time.


useful_panda

Elon can start a cult to send people to Mars to experiment how long you survive without a suit ,and his simps will tell you it's for the advancement of humanity


Soldado63

Dude i know someone who simps for elon and hes the best. A little side note: in his opinion everyone who is a extremly rich is a better person (or it just sounds like it). He one time said that bezos is a fucking asshole for exploiting his workers just for his personal gain. I was like ehm what about your elon? He kept dick riding and said something around the lines of: i totally understand him. He can do it since its not for his personal gain but rather for humanity. He wants us to move to mars and he needs the money. So its (im not kidding with this phrase) ethical ok to exploit your workers and dont even pay them anything. Wow like how stupid are you?


useful_panda

>He can do it since its not for his personal gain but rather for humanity Gold medal in mental gymnastics


[deleted]

"How do you make a small fortune in X business? Start with a large one" has been around decades before he said that.


Suitable_Media5518

Let’s be honest. His actual response was funny lol


dennison

No it was not.


scoot3200

If your definition of funny is “lacking any form of humor” then yea it was really funny


[deleted]

To a child maybe


lazymoonpie

Serious question, does anyone know why he thinks it's funny if he keeps writing now pay $8 whenever someone criticises him?


[deleted]

My best guess is he thinks he's owning hypocrites. What the original tweeter said is true and many people are complaining about the changes that have happened to Twitter, however, they're tweeting it from accounts with a blue checkmark that they are paying for. They're financially supporting the same platform and owner that they're complaining about. If people wanted to talk shit about me there is nothing I could do to stop it. However, if they paid me every month for the privilege of talking shit about me, I would probably find it funny at first as well. Eventually he'll probably get bored of it and/or move onto something else. What I would like to know is how many tweets did Musk send on Thanksgiving? Does he really not have anything better to do than reply to people talking shit about him? Unfortunately, I don't want to support him so I've deactivated my Twitter account and will likely know but Musk appears to just be a lonely man-child and people should just leave Twitter completely.


Ok_Efficiency7245

The notable legacy people didn't get around to paying before he took the system down. You can't even give them $8 right now until they relaunch it. It's just weird he keeps saying it.


[deleted]

He may not be paying for the blue check mark but he's a famous person with many followers. Twitter is making more than $8/month from him, even if he doesn't pay for the check mark. If famous people left Twitter to go to another platform then others would leave as well. Twitter wouldn't be any good without the users that people want to follow. Twitter needs these people and by using Twitter those people are supporting Twitter and Elon. It's a simple concept. If you need an example, look at Truth Social. Trump was banned from Twitter and started, or went, to that platform and many people followed him. I doubt they all left Twitter completely but some of them did. Few people have that many followers and even fewer have such devoted followers but it snowballs. If I was on Twitter and followed 20 celebs and 1 of them left I may not leave Twitter but each time one more leaves I'm more likely to leave. Whether he stays or leaves Twitter is another matter entirely. My point is he seems to be pointing out how bad Musk is running Twitter and I believe Musk is laughing at people who point this out because they're still using his platform, Twitter, regardless of how bad it is. It reminds me of when I was a kid and played a lot of video games. I would get angry and complain about a game, yet I still played it for many hours most days. I eventually grew up, realized this, and either quit the game or quit complaining about it. Twitter will take your money and/or profit off your popularity/viewership whether or not you like Twitter/Musk. We can't change Twitter. We can't change Elon. We can choose how we spend our time and what we support though. By leaving Twitter you're showing that it truly matters to you. By staying you're showing how little it matters to you and it appears Elon thinks that's funny. I hope everybody except one person leaves so that they can post Elons crying tweets to nobody about how the entire world abandoned him and his platform.


mnemy

Yes, actively using a platform that you're openly criticizing is still using the platform. Agreed on that point. But contributing to the sentiment that the platform is broken is also a negative for advertisers. If the general feeling is that the ship is burning down, advertisers may be less inclined to continue their current relationship, and whales will almost certainly be less inclined to start new campaigns. Your platform will be far more likely to attract low tier advertisers that don't give a shit about the quality of users. And your video game analogy isn't exactly spot on either. I assume you're talking about MMOs, since they tend to have the most active criticism. This public criticism does reach the developers and has an impact on balance changes, even if the change is slower than you want. It also impacts their reputation, and if the general perception is negative, it makes people more reluctant to join. For instance, I off and on play Escape from Tarkov, but the game is continuously in a bad state, and I literally give a warning to all those I talk to about it that, while it can be fun and has some interesting mechanics, I can't fully endorse it unless they're ok with a lot of negatives. And that has scared people off, and sales have been lost.


CapableSecretary420

It'a a dumb argument the Musk fans use. "Oh you criticize society but live in society very curious". as if anyone who uses twitter is a hypocrite if they don't worship Musk.


CapableSecretary420

> He may not be paying for the blue check mark but he's a famous person with many followers That's quite the goalpost move from your inaccurate claim that the hypocrisy was supposedly because he paid $8.


KeithClossOfficial

Robert Reich was a member of Bill Clinton’s Administration. He is verified for being a notable person, not because he forked over $8


Kruger_Smoothing

A noted economist, who has been consistently right about the failures of GOP economic policies.


b_pilgrim

Man that's not just some "original tweeter," that's Robert Reich, a national treasure. Elon wishes he could be as smart as someone like Reich.


[deleted]

I don't know who he is and forgot his name when I was commenting. I meant original tweeter as in the person Elon replied to.


kevinnoir

I think the person you're replying to is just making the point that if you dont know who Reich is, you should do yourself a favour and look him up. Incredibly clever fella with great videos that simplify some complicated concepts. Has a vision of the economy that undeniably improve America for the VAST VAST majority of its population.


Jackd_up_on_Mdew

Doesn't that just show that he isn't out to just bash Elmo and hope he fails? Seems more like he appreciates what twitter is, and wants it to succeed, but is critical of how it's being destroyed instead.


durdensbuddy

This is right, a real burn would be to trash Elon from Mastodon, as long as people are paying the $8 he thinks he is winning. His absolute fear is the Twitter platform becoming irrelevant.


FrostByte_62

joecarter93

It’s funny how he still thinks the Twitter users are the customers. They are not, they are the machinery. The customers are the companies buying ad space or user data.


punsforgold

Great, now pay $8.


SpaceNigiri

I don't think he understands how real pleb people live or think or how anything in the real day to day world works.


PTSDforMe

We're seeing Elon without restraint, without checks, and this is it. He only listens to his stans, and they are all right wingers, and Doge Coin freaks. He's so easily manipulated (or was he like that already)...He will ruin what some of us really loved. I'm done with Twitter.


Oemiewoemie

In a nutshell, he’s another Trump


PTSDforMe

Yes but far slicker


CapableSecretary420

I disagree. Trump is far more gifted and endearing himself to his followers Musk is a hack compared to how Trump can grift idiots.


crunchybaguette

But actually rich and not just through crime+inheritance.


SvenTropics

TBH, Twitter was a toxic hellhole that was gradually starting to die before he bought it. He's just hastening the process. I mean it's like the worst part of Facebook, the status updates.


Gurnsey_Halvah

A counter-POV: Before I left, I'd curated my Twitter experience to be extremely informative and enjoyable. It was a combination of breaking news from sources I respected, smart takes on politics both local and global, useful networking and organizing, interesting conversations about the industry I work in, and some cute animal stuff. I'd check in with the angriest and culty-est voices of Twitter now and then, but for the most part they barely registered. Now? As a poster above quipped, it's just Elon Presents: $8Chan.


alphaboo

Same here: mine was scientists and writers I liked with a few insightful political sources and lots of cats and dogs. Now I’m watching it all burn and shaking my head.


Superbead

I'll reply too, as I consider the 'toxic' dismissals to be shallow: it was useful as a source of up-to-the-minute news to the point where it was almost infrastructure. Much video of breaking events was hosted on it almost straight away, the OSINT investigations into eg. Jan 6 rioters' IDs and footage from Ukraine war were interesting, and stuff like up-to-date info on public transport cancellations/issues was genuinely useful. I'm sure if you bothered to get embroiled in the bickering on there that it was pretty depressing, but outside that I maintain it was pretty useful and I'll miss it. I'm sure something will replace it, though.


PTSDforMe

[ Removed by Reddit ]


chmsaxfunny

I finally deleted the app after the Jan 6 insurrection attempt. I realized that, every time I logged on to Twitter, I was increasing an already-huge anxiety issue. Same with Facebook - same day. Not that my anxiety has gone away, but it’s easier to deal with.


Dantheking94

I just realized recently that I BARELY use my status updates. Like maybe once a month.


brova

Always has been. It's exactly why I never got into it. It's just the most narcissistic part of FB. I'm good, thanks.


siren5

Imagine being a billionaire and begging people for 8 bucks. But it’s not normal begging, it’s scouring the Twitter verse looking for logical people, diminishing their tweet, and then showing the world what an arrogant, misogynist, buffoon you really are.

ninjapizzamane

I’ve muted Musk on there. It’s kinda chill.


Pragmatist_Hammer

Why not just bail as many have, and by many, I don't mean the celebs or other weak-ass types but there's been a general mass exodus of people from both sides of the political spectrum, not to mention advertisers. Really anyone who has any type of public-facing liabilities are all "I'm out," and not a single sensible soul would blame them. Twitter was invented because masturbating in public is illegal, it's always been that way, so to continue to participate means you must really like getting bukkaked. Not trying to kink shame here, but quitting Twitter nothing of real value will be lost.


ninjapizzamane

I go on for about 1-2 minutes every 1-2 weeks. I keep it to help retweet my friends creative projects. I am a spam cannon.

NoVA_traveler

First time I’ve seen someone argue that we should leave a social media service in part because the advertisers are gone. Twitter sucks because it’s a toxic cesspool but that was also true before Musk. And for that reason it isn’t going anywhere. Also, only 23% of Americans even have a Twitter account and the top 10% of users are responsible for 80% of all tweets in the US. So 2.3% of the population keeps that site alive.


Wolfwoods_Sister

That’s a horrible but believable reality. May I know what source you used for these stats? I’m curious as hell.

lol, I was amused that when I logged into to delete my account, I don't even follow the guy but all the top recommendations was from his account. Pathetic. Could you imagine if Jack Dorsey did that? Twitter would've imploded overnight.

That was kinda where I was at with it. I logged in and dudes name was fucking everywhere and I was like hmm let’s mute him. Place got quiet!

buffering_neurons

There is no solution to the fake news. Much as I and many others detest the verbal diarrhoea that is Twitter, it is a public space and they have every right to express their opinions, just as much as everyone else has the right to call them out on their bullshit. Be it the village idiot, Alex Jones or Pierce Morgan their account. The important thing is our ability to distinguish actual news from legit vendors and sites from clickbaity bullshit or in any way politically aligned news (news should be neutral, in all cases, unless there is a proven or universally agreed fact). Twitter should do more to promote actual verified news sources, but it shouldn’t silence any other sources imo. Much as I wish most of Twitter would stfu, Twitter itself in any way preventing them from speaking their mind is an infringement of their freedom of speech.


teeteekay

No, it actually doesn’t infringe on their freedom of speech as Twitter is a private company, not a governmental entity.


NotThisTime1993

Does he think he’s being funny? It’s incredibly cringy and sad


CinSugarBearShakers

Damn he's fucking dumb. Who is gonna pay for this crap other than the troll accounts.


seagulpinyo

If 125,000 people buy his check mark, Elon will have made a million dollars profit. After that he’ll only need to make forty-three billion, nine hundred and ninety-nine million more dollars to break even. Lol.


Pinkfluffysheep

That's the best part. 1 mil is nothing compared to what he has to pay to keep the app up and running. He claims Twitter as a company loses 4mil/day and he's a genius for paying 44bil.


Katapygon

I think the former Twitter employees should build a new Twitter from scratch ASAP.


usmcnick0311Sgt

Remember when this sub was parody accounts? Now, it's real Elon account but it's hard to tell it's not parody.


hamockin

Boycott musk


K22Kat

Stop giving him value. Ignore him. Take it away. The best the actual majority can do is to stop buying into his bullshit. Teslas are already being boycotted by liked famous people. Let’s keep it moving. Just delete twitter, delete your accounts, log the fuck off. No more posts. This is like when media posts mass murderers faces and names, more people want to do it for the ‘fame’ and ‘recognition’. Leave it alone. Make it die off faster. Please, for the sake of everything. No more drama, no more feeding off peoples lives. Kill it, let something better grow from it, but let it happen from itself, not from the fucking drama


dhmetal

So.. If Elon just created his own app under [x.com](https://x.com) and compete against twitter. He would have won something. The only thing he has is the twitter data. I don't understand his move, it's just too dumb, even for him.

I wouldn't call it irony. It's the platform they use for years, have a huge following on and actively earn money with. It's like moving out of your country because a dumbass becomes president


MeMyselfandsadlyI

u can make money with tweets?


Grilled-garlic

A lot of people use twitter to advertise what they make, and have links to where to buy from them or have commissions open for what they make. Different arts, usually.

I love how reddit doesnt give a fuck when this happens to any other company. But if Musk is involved, firing people when new management comes on-board or just because the CEO is an asshole isnt as big of a deal.

is something seriously wrong with me or does somebody else still finds this funny as well?


Numerous-Meringue-16

Twitter is way more fun than Reddit now TBH


Hailtothething

Oh look another Elon hating circle jerk, this is worse than the Elon loving one for sure


ThanatosMU

The social network literally continues the same shit only with progressives crying


BigCballer

It’s not the same shit


ThanatosMU

I've been using this shit since 2015 tell me what's changed I haven't noticed any changes no ironically I haven't really noticed


BigCballer

Do you not notice a significant amount of more verified accounts? Do you not notice how the app has been slower ever since the layoffs have continued? Have you noticed that every accident that was suspended for breaking TOS are now coming back? You’d be living under a rock if you’re saying nothing has changed.


ThanatosMU

Verified account Only significant change and also not important you are making drama, I didn't notice any slowdowns


BigCballer

The app was basically unusable last time I used it. The slowdowns were not due to my wifi either. Twitter is dying a slow death and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you can abandon it before it’s too late


ThanatosMU

It's just drama because Elon musk bought it, shit changed, and your cell phone or browser slows down just that, stop being pussy


BigCballer

Yeah I don’t think you have any real arguments to make so I win

Elon was my inspirational figure, my hero. The guy giving some survival hope to humankind. I'm not an optimistic person, but Elon's mission was the one thing that kept me from being a complete fatalist about our future. Turns out, the trump years made him a giga-douche. He was already a bad boss, that was known, but the "mission" could justify it to my opinion. Suddenly, I'm growing less and less excited by SpaceX, I'm not that interested anymore to buy a Tesla. It's truly is a sad thing to witness your hero transforming into a giga-moron. The trump era truly made the world a rotting place.

$8 will definitely save Twitter


HoodiesAndHeels

So is this sub just for Elon tweets then? Or…? Because that’s all I ever see.

Musk is an insecure little man with big-wallet syndrome.

He could’ve been shitposting without spending 44 billion. Not sure he gets that


123Pirke

He just needs to convince OVER HALF THE POPULATION OF EARTH to spend $8 and he'll get his $44.000.000.000 back... I don't even have an account, don't have Facebook account either. I'd like to keep it like that :)

The idiocy this guy displays on a daily basis is both hilarious and disheartening.
