So glad we can enjoy these last days with atroic, at his age (762) we dont have long left with him 😮‍💨

[@Jomeboi]

Almost as old as the queen got

[@RhinoHorn7]

@@Jomeboi Nah she was nowhere close to Big A lets not lie to ourselves. Brandon "Atrioc" "Glizzy Hands" "Coffee Cow" "Tea Toad" "Juice Jaguar" "Smoothie King" Ewing was MILES ahead of the queen. His death saddens us all. 'Twas a great loss.

Wait a second... the Queen died at age 761... are we certain Glizzard the Lizard Wizard didn't cull the competition to remain the oldest human in history?

[@pilazpilaz]

I was in Paris last week and looking at an illustration of the Battle of Crécy (1346), and I shit you not I saw Atrioc's iconic smile shining from the ranks of the English longbowmen. I started yelling "the glarketer was an archer for the English?" in excitement, hoping that people would realize that it is the lore behind his glizzy fingers, but instead I got kicked out by the museum's ignorant staff. We truly live in the post-truth age.

[@Dalrad]

14:55 When you talk about engineering talent this is very true. Around 1/4th the people in my onboarding cohort at a large tech company said that if they could have dinner with one person, living or dead, they'd choose Elon (during an icebreaker). The guy has a cult following in a certain type of techbros

[@MedievalSolutions]

Honestly I'd grant it. I think Elon would be so obviously not tech savvy that they'd be fully demystified after that dinner.

[@ShaunCheah]

Even MrBeast is lost in the Elon sauce. The Musk attracts a certain type of person, but it's also true that the certain type of person he attracts typically happens usually to be extremely successful. Honestly I'd say at the end of the day it's an issue with our current society rewarding the wrong types of behaviours if what we want is a fair environment where all people are treated well, but I'm also open to the idea that perhaps money is the most important thing in the world and all us non-Elonheads are falling behind in not getting that yet.

[@mubbywub]

If the guy has several multi billion dollar companies that disrupt ossified industries, with the primary distinguishing component being engineering excellence, had countless employees and outsiders vouch for his technical ability over the years, and retains a demonstrable in depth knowledge of all the product offerings, you’d think that maybe the guy is actually a genius. Nope, haters stay hating.

[@courier6960]

I means he’s going to buy Twitter now, that’s going to happen no matter what, it’s just going to effect how absolutely screwed Elon is, because now EVERYONE (who matters) knows Twitter is a bad investment and with the economic downturn and uncertainty the rates are going to be ridiculous, which means the debt is going to be even MORE ridiculous and Twitter is going to do even worse Elon might lose a massive majority of his wealth from this deal, he’s fucked himself over this badly

[@melogranohifi]

One note from someone who does M&A for a living - the reason why the banks are pissed has nothing to do with Twitter being unable to pay debt in the long run, as none of them are going to be long term lenders to Twitter for a meaningful amount after this deal closes. The reason why the banks are pissed is because they signed an agreement saying that when the deal closes, if Twitter cannot find other lenders willing to give it money below a certain interest rate, then they have to cough up the difference. Interest rates have gone up like crazy, so you have now a lot of situations like this one, the reason why the banks are pissed is nothing Twitter specific. Banks lost somewhere in the multi-billion dollar range on Citrix earlier last month, and are going to lose similarly staggering amounts of money when they try to sell Tenneco’s debt later this month.

radicalisatiom comes from confirmation circles. Seeing as Twitter moderation shows trends of removing certain topics when discussed it leaves no chance for different views to hear each other.
