It's kind of sad how much Elon wants the internet to validate him.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Same as Bezos and Trump. They're so desperate be seen as a "cool guy".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Which is insane, because he would be if he just kept his mouth shut and only gave yearly press conferences on Tesla and spacex. Before ~2014 every one loved the guy.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm wondering/imagining. Did he walk into a diy store to get that thing himself or did one of his employees do it? Did he buy it an hour before or a day before? What goes through one's mind to think "I'll go buy a sink and have my picture taken with it, that'll be funny". Was there a meeting about this?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

No way he bought that himself. He definitely made some underpaid assistant buy it about 10 minutes before he needed to walk in with it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Meetings are rather pointless when you're a supervillain deathly allergic to anything but the most sycophantic of praise and affirmation.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And it's not even a kitchen sink. Couldn't even do that right.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

At least he’s a consistent failure.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

His joke wasn't about "and the kitchen sink" though. That might have actually been clever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still don’t understand what it was about, if not the kitchen sink.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not gonna lie, I still don't know what the joke was supposed to be.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He bought Twitter. "Let that sink" in.

Don't shoot me I'm just a messenger

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My palm is firmly imbeded in my face. Thanks for bringing me into the light lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm so dumb, I thought it was an "everything but the sink reference"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah , that might have been mildly funny / clever

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hey fellow dummy, I too thought it was something like "I bought everything AND the sink hahaha, isn't that funny?"

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a fucking douche bag he is

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A week later, he uprooted thousands of lives by laying them off, without even understanding how the product worked. His severance was well below what was initially promised, and he often mocked those who were laid off, or encouraged others in their mocking. Douche bag is a gentle way of putting it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There’s also news about twitter not paying the severance package

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

He paid 44B plus the cost of this sink all for a sinked (sic) cost fallacy.

Thank you, I’ll be here all week.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The joke was a long con. He came there to “sink” the company

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wait...

Is he letting that sink in? Is that the joke?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can anyone catch me up on what that is?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The day that Musk took over Twitter, he walked in to the office carrying a sink.

All so he could post this not very funny joke;

Entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!

The more skeptical parts of the internet correctly pointed out that this was the start of Musk sinking the company. Which is still not a very funny joke, but some acts in this play have been hilarious. Like when Twitter started DDoSing itself a couple days ago.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I feel like the joke would be funny to me if he didn't then proceed to royally fuck up Twitter

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's a sink he brought to Twitter on his first day, so he could say "let that sink in".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think the winners there were the people who got that money. When i see this kind of posts, I wonder about the countries could pay their debts and get outside the shit 3rd world

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

the sink itself is probably worth something though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro its crazy he has 44 billion. I sometimes wonder how life is like for Elon and his family.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It wasn’t all his. Iirc, he went to the Middle East to secure loans.
