Elon was bullied at high school in South Africa. Now for some reason he bullies Zuckerberg.
He bullies his workers, this Zuckerberg shit is merely theatre.
While I would never condone that it wouldn’t surprise me if he was bullied.
Why is he so obsessed with Zuckerberg? I don’t get it. And I don’t get this whole fight thing he keeps going on about, which quite clearly isn’t going to happen either.
Mates boss went to school with him.
Apparently was a massive fecking arsehole back then too and got bullied for it.
desperate need for constant attention and validation
Facebook launched some ersatz Twitter alternative recently, I think.
That and maybe he thinks Zuckerberg is an easy target to farm popularity points... all the while the Meta CEO being a bit of martial artist makes him jealous and he pathologically wants to one up him.
I think he's dramatically wrong on all counts but given sycophant Lex Fridman indulges and enables him, it plays well with that crowd ?
All of that plus you can see he wants to impress his loser acolytes by having public “bantz” with one of the world’s richest/most influential men.
I thought he was going to lead civilisation to Mars - what’s happened to that?
Making Zuckerberg seem cool in comparison is by far the most impressive thing Elon has ever accomplished.
Need to accomplish self driving cars, ultra fast underground mass transportation, neural chips and become UFC champion first.
He is a potential reference point chosen at minus infinity.Making Zuckerberg seem cool in comparison is by far the most impressive thing Elon has ever accomplished.

combining both!
I sometimes wonder how Elon-stans live with the duality that makes them believe "he's basically a god on earth that is driving the species foward" with the obvious "he acts like a 12 year old, and is delusional". But then I realise Elon-stans are essentially mirrors of their own self and then all seems right with the world.

Zuckerberg: "I have literally offered a date to fight"
Musk: "He's a chicken"
It's arguments a child would make.
When he does something stupid, just claim that he was trolling the entire time and it's actually amazingly smart because of this. This solves that problem.I sometimes wonder how Elon-stans live with the duality that makes them believe "he's basically a god on earth that is driving the species foward" with the obvious "he acts like a 12 year old, and is delusional".

Harsh on children
Half the tweets shared here on the caf aren't loading for me. Is this happening to everyone?

They can't even stop ads being placed next to "pro Hitler" accounts
They promote a whole range of "revolutionary industry tools" and then when this shit is pointed out, they just ban the account

Cant bully billionaires
something needs to be done about him
The fecker probably saw the amount of people like me, who’ve blocked him.
Imagine if Santi was still around here and frequented this thread.
Another absolutely fecking moronic decision in a long line of fecking mornic decisions beginning with purchasing the site in the first place.
What an absolute clown he is.

bit the bullet and made a bluesky.
first impressions: it's a twitter clone with worse design, much slower loading, most posts are a more earnest and less fun...but twitter without a block and with checkie replies is grim, easily worse than bluesky.

If, say, Jon Stewart blocks the Russian bots, they can't saturate his comments with right wing propaganda. Can't have that. He can mute them so he can't see it, but he can't get rid of them to stop them from interrupting any dialogue that might come from any post.
Will further greatly cut down on organic interactions.

It will destroy it. It will become unusable
We got him
At the moment I think BlueSky is a really mixed bag. The functionality seems fine to me but it's undoubtedly jankier than pre-Musk Twitter.
On the other hand, I hadn't realised how much adverts and algorithms on Twitter affected the user experience until I used BlueSky. Even exclusively using the "Following" tab on Twitter it regularly seems to decide which tweets from people I follow I want to see or not and obviously it chucks a bunch of ads at you regardless. Going on BlueSky and actually seeing every post the people I follow have posted in reverse chronological order is refreshing. Seems to be better for content creators too - a few artists I follow have said they're getting way more engagement on BlueSky than they do on Twitter despite having a fraction of the follower count simply because the people who follow them actually get to see their posts.
The big issue with it at the moment is simply that there aren't that many people on it and it feels "quiet", but it's possible that's also the only thing which is saving it from immediately becoming a toxic hellhole.
edit: wow actually it is running slow today, maybe a big influx of twitter emigrants following the no blocking fiasco
Just received my invite code, I'm guessing they've released a decent chunk today/this week.
it’s weird, I expected him to have looked into this sort of thing before he opened his gob
Artificially inflated engagement rates
It can be argued whether DM block is sufficient or not. In case its not stipulated precisely in the T&C
The block thing is almost certainly because a large portion of his user base is blocking the accounts of all thise crappy ads, stifling what little bit of income the platform has left.
That ist against the TOS for the two big app platforms wouldn't even be something he thought about for a second before announcing it.
He can;t bully google and apple. This one won't happen.
