One day, one of these stunts he pulls is going to end up ruining whatever company he does it in, and I'm all here for it. Though we'll probably never know since he'll just blame it on something / someone else and his little muskettes will follow along.
- It’s not one day. It’s happening in the headlines as we watch. Some estimates are that twitter has lost 90% of its value in the (a bit under a full) year since Elmo took over. Post-rebranding, some financial institutions and even one of Musk’s own dumb-ass shoot from the hip tweets puts twitter’s current value at around $4-5B.
  Even if that’s low, I think the best case estimate, before rebranding, was sitting around $15B. That’s still a loss of 2/3 value in less than a year (that was in May) and it hasn’t gotten better since the attempted rebrand.
  It’s happening, and his incompetence is on full display. He’s even reached the stage of megalomania where he’s blaming the Jews.
  
  No, Elmos own estimates are that it lost 90% of its value, probably lost a lot more.
- Hey now, you might be on to something here...
  
  Shhh.... don't tell him how this year went. It'll ruin the story.
- That’s company’s name? Twitter.

  Fucking Apple autocorrected me lol
  
  Even Apple does not agree with their shitty new name. 😄
  
  I respect it enough to call it Xitter. Pronunciation is up to your imagination.
- Looks like he is literally asking for trouble with decisions like that. It’s just a matter of time until he manages to cause a major disaster.
