The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

Elon apparently spent 3 hours in an MRI machine.

Not only could he definitely not sit still for three hours with Tweeting, unless MRI machines are different for rich people I've never had nor seen an MRI take longer than an hour in my life.

Yup

My dad's had a few MRI's recently, IIRC a blood dye and a glucose one.
The blood dye one he was in it for about 10 minutes*, maybe a bit longer for a full torso scan, the glucose dye one he wasn't in for more than an hour and I suspect a lot less given he was out of the unit in about 90 minutes and IIRC they did it twice.



*Talking to one of the techs it was one of the newest models, sufficiently new it was in temporary building just outside the A&E as they'd not got space in the hospital yet**, and could get a snapshot of the heart between beats.

**I'm not sure if it'll end up in the new building they're putting up on the other side of the site, or they'll be moving something else to make room for it.

Unless you're actually dumb, I struggle to see how anything Elon has done at Twitter can be seen to be intelligent.

All of the analysis I have seen from objective sources states that all the decisions he has made are destroying the platform. I have no doubt users have returned but it is all irrelevant when the company already was losing money and is now losing more because his actions have caused revenue to drop.

Can anyone explain what I am missing?

Testosterone*

*according to certain posters who'll be along soon to further explain .. or not.

Dude's probably giga neurotic about his health that a three hour stint in/out of MRI machines doesn't seem that strange to me, can certainly afford it assuming he hasn't quite literally got his own private mini-hospital for himself. This is me being nice and not immediately saying he's lying to avoid getting spanked by daddy Zucc.
 
Hasn't Musk had quite a bad back problem for awhile? I can't see him getting into any kind of close to real fight.

EDIT: Supposedly fixed with a c5-c6 disc fusion but I can't see him risking it.

Is everyone really that niave to not realise its all being done to build up media hype?

Cmon people have a bit more sense. Or has everyone really just convinced themselves elon is just a dumb dumb and there's no alternative motive to all of this? Look at all the free x traffic that's being built up.

The fight won't happen, but the build up will create loads of drama for..... Social media.

As my late grandfather, who was a barrister, used to say to colleagues representing someone in opposition to one of his clients, "We've got two fat geese here, you pluck one and I'll pluck the other, this could run until Christmas". ;)

Everyone (well, except Roar) knows he just talks **** for hype, that's been his MO throughout his career.

It's just this time he's made himself look a bigger tit than usual :D
 
Can Zuck take him to court if he's a no show - they had a verbal agreement, even if it's not written like the twitter purchase plan,
Kings rarely fought though, I thought their knights did, maybe Linda is a black belt.

Of course he isn't going to fight. Its just the usual hot air from someone who has been talking **** for years. Its just funny seeing him get owed by Zuck of all people.

What would be the point? Nothing has really been arranged.

It's not like they had a venue planned out etc that is going to lose out on money/publicity.

He (Musk) has thrown the vets under the bus though.

You have to show a harm. So say the person agreed to buy your car for $10k but then backed out. You had a verbal contract and you were harmed by them breaking it.
 
The only weird internet fight I want to see.

Who's with me? (not 2blacklines, obvs)
