Saviour musk? For many montths, I heard from whackworld that musk was going

[niyad]

to, purely out of his goodness and compassion, save us from the evil, demonic,, left-controlled media with his unhackable (and run by the military) internet and communications systems, which were coming online just any day now. He was launching thousands of satellites and running constant tests.This started long before even the rumours about him buying twitter.

Funny, I have not been hearing anythiing about that these last few weeks.

2. Oh, Musk has his acolytes that are still banging on about his having A Plan.

I encountered this one this morning. It's a 20-tweet thread from someone who's worked with him at Tesla:.

While you all are crying over Twitter’s death, maybe I can help reframe for you all whats happening and why. I worked with Elon for 10+ years at Tesla & here’s my take. 1/20 #RIPTwitter

It's rather turgid, and not many who've replied - other that the suspiciously bot-sounding fans chiming in with "Yay!" etc. seemed to get further than skimming it to the end, where they found that this valued colleague with deep insights into Musk's mindset, character and Plan who apparently still works for him at Tesla doesn't even have a phone number for him and is hoping to leverage a job out of him by drooling over him on Twitter:

I haven’t been able to reach @elonmusk
to discuss how I can help here or back over at Tesla to ensure things don’t fall apart. I appreciate if you can boost, share, follow- whatever you think will get his attention. I promise I won't let you down. The future is bright ✨ 20/20

Those who did get through it are divided between the slavering fans and those who found the Plan to be deeply sinister.

It would be more sinister except Musk is utterly incompetent at the basic human and business management levels, so all that's likely to result is a godawful mess - largely ineffectual, with some unpleasant side effects and collateral damage along the way - that someone else may end up having to clear up.

Anyway, if Trump does end up rejoining Twitter, I'd be very worried if I was his lawyer ...

3. Thank you for sharing this. Having read her last comment (I skipped the rest

as it is too early to start drinking), my first thought was, if she is so valuable, why hasn't the overblown ego gotten in touch with her?
