Yup.
Did Elon Musk then notice it was so horrible — even by his requirements — that he wanted to delete that tweet?
Yup.
Yup.
The one actual distinction between the 2: This day out, Musk has tried to elucidate why he made the horrible tweet — it was a joke, he defined, and it made his associates chortle. It did not happen to him that different individuals would not assume it was hilarious.
When you’ve by no means paid any consideration to something Elon Musk does, you may take him at his phrase: That the person who owns Twitter, and has renamed it X, is simply getting his head round the concept stuff you do and say in personal aren’t essentially stuff you wish to put on the web.
“Elon Musk says he is realized a lesson,” as my colleagues at Enterprise Insider put it.
However that is not remotely true. He is been doing these items for years, and it is not getting higher, and there isn’t any cause to assume it can.
“I would say I will see you the following time he does the identical factor. However we won’t do that each time he does the identical factor, as a result of it could get exhausting. Nonetheless: See you once more, quickly,” I wrote manner again on September 4 — 12 days in the past.
At this price, we could also be coming again to this another time earlier than the month is up.
Simply two extra notes on this:
Within the transient interval between Musk’s most up-to-date deleted tweets, his firm introduced it had employed a brand new chief advertising officer: Angela Zepeda, who previously headed advertising at Hyundai. The Wall Road Journal has a diligent profile of Zepada (TLDR: She’s executed a number of work with Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino; she has employed well-known individuals to look in adverts; she bought layered at Hyundai this summer season).
However, as at all times, it would not matter who Elon Musk has engaged on his Twitter adverts enterprise so long as Elon Musk retains tweeting.
Additionally: A reminder that along with proudly owning Twitter and utilizing it to tweet horrible issues, Elon Musk is the world’s richest man and has huge energy. And it is necessary to do not forget that he typically workouts it in ways in which do not contain Twitter.
Earlier this yr, for example, Musk spent “a whole bunch of 1000’s of {dollars}” in an unsuccessful try and defeat the district lawyer in Travis County, Texas, because the Journal just lately detailed.
Austin, the place Musk spends a number of time, is the seat of Travis County. And Musk had beforehand been vocal about his distaste for José Garza, the incumbent DA there. However the truth that he saved his monetary help for Garza’s opponent secret means he understands there are some issues he would not wish to say in public, for no matter cause.
Maintain that in thoughts the following time we meet right here once more.
