    Since we can’t elect Elon to be President, can we just name him God-King?

      He took a board seat.

      “Through conversations with Elon in recent weeks, it became clear to us that he would bring great value to our Board,” CEO Parag Agrawal said in a tweet.

                Employees will resign if and only if they don't believe doing so entails any personal sacrifice.

                    Well ok, but the message wasn't exaggerated, so it didn't sniff of satire. It was slightly surprising since Elon isn't a tribal conservative, but he's not woke enough to pass muster with pop culturalites in silicon valley. And it was only one person, so totally believable. Though the profile pick didn't look like a gay man, that is true enough. Neither does Dave Rubin, one of the rubes who fell for it.

                            See? How does Elon know about that tweet? I'm sure he's tagged a million times a day by users. Does he just sit and watch his phone all day? I DONT GET TWITTER. It's a fad.

                              It's not what boomers on here say it is. This place is far more toxic, if you can believe it. Oh, and I never see anything political in my feed. Literally never. It's all in how you use it.

                                    It’s great how in Jack’s tiny blurb about this, his only public reaction, he managed to pack in the notion that emotional thinking is way better than rational thinking. Lead with their hearts indeed. Gotta keep the woke mobs at bay, that is priority one for companies in the business of serving pop culture.

                                      @Horace They "lead with their hearts" which is basically an excuse for upcoming battles. Also, I would argue Musk leads with his brain and the world is better off for it.

                                          I've only recently actually subscribed to Twitter, and you're right. It's funny, I never see any of the awful stuff people re-post here. It seems like a lot of people go looking for terrible things that people of the opposite political persuasion say on Twitter, and then complain about them saying it. Then they presumably complain about people getting offended too easily.

                                          I still think the whole Twitter concept is a bit dreadful, and caters to narcissism, but it's still worth a look.

                                          I was only joking
