In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
It's amazing how haphazard and arbitrary Twitter's policymaking is under Elon. Rather than thinking through issues, they just make sweeping changes at Elon's whim without considering the effects. Banning accounts from linking to other social media platforms was guaranteed to run into legal issues in the EU and probably the US so now he has to backpedal. This is all from the mind of the genius who brought us cars without gear selection (AI just knows if you want to go forward or backward).
Polls can easily be rigged, but I suspect they are testing a new feature that tags your account on the backend if you vote yes. I have nothing to base this on, but it's the only way it makes sense ( besides the obvious ego boost)
Move fast and break things! move fast and break thing. move fast and gtberakl tyhingmover fast 7 brkthinogs

Is he live tweeting a mental breakdown?
He previously said he would back off from Twitter to go back to Tesla and SpaceX. The idea was always to hire a full time CEO, who will probably be a Musk approved sycophant. Therefore the poll is just a deceitful way of appearing egalitarian
Who knows? None of this makes a lick of sense.
nah vote him in so he can continue to lose all his wealth and burn everything in the process.
I wonder if the new investors he is targeting for the extra round of investment which started a few days ago have suggested he employs a CEO. It is obviously needed.
Lex is like Mark Zuckerberg but without the brains
Musk is another cnut who needs to just feck off
Fridman is an insufferably gullible guy.
Probably looking to step down because he has found some football club in England to buy. Liverpool
Perhaps he wants to get away from the whole thing because he can't see a way to make money. Or gain anything else.
I think that all his "polls" had a predetermined result... to get Trump back, to reinstate the reporters he banned (because too much trouble from politicians and the EU), and so on. My conspiracy theory is that he makes a decision, and then he creates a fake poll just to show that he is "listening to the will of the people". We all know he is a narcissist and he does not give a fart about anyone else, and I am sure that he doesn't care about what the majority of silent voters want. So, why set up a poll?
Wait, what?
I wonder if he wants us to vote yes?

Elon's stale playbook
At Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk was a jerk with a grand vision. At Twitter, he's just a jerk.
[...]
Revenue is shrinking, but Twitter still has to pay $1.3 billion in debt annually for its own leveraged buyout. Twitter has never made $1.3 billion in a year, and Musk has never run a company in this situation. In the past, he has had time — and money from investors — to burn. And even with all of these advantages, he still almost bankrupted Tesla in 2018.

I guess some lawyers finally read the policy.

The backup is a button on the touchscreen.
I thought Twitter was doing okish before he took over? There were some signs of profitability.
Yes. The lack of profitability is of Elons making.
If Musk runs Tesla anywhere near the same way as Twitter, then that is genuinely terrifying.
Imagine a car developed where there are zero checks or balances between the CEO having an idea and its immediate execution in the production line.

He's just looking for an excuse to do something he has already decided, so he can say it was the will of the people or something. This was always going to come down roughly similar to the vote about reinstating the banned journalists. The only difference is the people, who are voting no to see him fumble around even more.
What a pair of cnuts.
He has already decided to step down, but is going to martyr himself to pretend to be a man of the people. Not transparant at all. What a genius.
Impossible to know for sure. It would honestly not surprise me if he expected to "win" the poll. His narcissism is that bad.
But the most likely explanation is probably that he wants to leave the ship before it is completely submerged. His career is a massive PR campaign after all. If he's out early enough then he can claim that it wasn't his fault. His fanboys are stupid enough to buy into this.
Yeah, it's just speculation, of course. He is obviously a massive narcissist, but he is not stupid, so surely he must know that a large amount of people do not support what he is doing. The previous Twitter polls he has made, as well as the Chapelle fiasco would have told him as much. He will probably put it down to the "woke mind virus" or something in order to not face the facts, but I would bet he knew approximately how that vote would turn out before he made it.
Yeah, he’s miles out of his depth and he knows it.
Why doesn't he understand that people don't want to hear or see him every single day?
He only does these bullshit votes when he's already decided to do something and he wants to make it look like he's a man of the people. "The people have spoken, I will now step down", alright mate, you've already crashed the plane and now Tesla's going down with it, but yeah, user WHUTD4EVER69 was the reason you've decided to stop running your new $44b purchase.

It’s a crap excuse anyway. You’d have thought 16 years after founding Twitter he would have a good grasp on how to run it by now
a twitter poll if he should step down might be the dumbest thing he's done yet
the Tesla board must be desperate to oust him at this point, he's not fit for purpose

He's gonna buy United now he'll be bored. Especially after watching a brilliant football match
He'll complain about being hounded out of twitter afterwards.

This thought did pop into my head yesterday and it terrifies me! Although he looks so miserable in every picture I’ve seen of him there
