He has no plan. How is that not painfully obvious at this point
Second of all, so what? What does that have to do with him just picking a Unicode character at 4am on a Saturday?
Your argument was this logo change was planned.
Okay, so he’s planning on turning it into a finance platform, and you’re saying it was “part of his master plan” to pick a logo at 4am that can’t be trademarked (because it’s just a Unicode character), such that any one can setup a login page for using the logo, to harvest X.com credentials, and they can’t do anything because they don’t own the trademark?
Brilliant plan.
Hey isn't he still majority owner of SpaceX (Jesus, there's the X again, somehow that hadn't dawned on me yet)?
Doesn't a huge proportion of their income come from government contracts?
Aren't there... you know, some laws about that exact thing?
Oh who'm I kidding, only the peons have to sweat about their lives being ruined by getting high on the weekends. Rich people are too good for that, of course.
Besides, he's probably got bullshit prescriptions for most of it.
Which by definition makes one an alcoholic.
Maybe because of the placebo effect. Chances are that if you were actually microdosing but didn't knew about it you wouldn't even notice it.
And he did it all so capriciously. There still doesn’t seem to be any reason for it.
Seriously, fuck that guy.
Flaunting your wealth attracts supporters in this day and age. People *like* rich assholes. Its fashionable, or at least it was in the 2010s. The pendulum of society is finally swinging back and demonizing this outrageous display of wealth but we're still in an age where people literally worship wealth. Not the "figuratively literally", I mean literally literally worship as per the prosperity gospel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperity_theology).
Its not just Elon Musk, but also Arkk's Cathie Wood and Bill Hwang.

The outrageous displays of wealth is proof that you've achieved God's good graces. Its basically Mandate of Heaven (Chinese concept) except the American version of it.
Once you make $999,999,999.99 dollars, congratulations you have won at life!
All future income you make beyond $1B goes to helping society.
You should probably get a say into where the money goes (so it aligns with your values, whatever those may be) but that's it. You are done enriching yourself personally.
I kind of like that (although I'm sure plenty of people hate it).
The play money is so many orders of magnitude beyond what's used to keep society creaking along, that it's positively silly. The tiniest of wealth tax percentages can amount to whole social services budgets. These social services stop people with pitchforks from going after the billionaires and each other.
The problem in Norway's case is that the a lot of the richest people just moved to Switzerland or wherever...
Rabid liberalism is expensive.
Helping vaccinate the 3rd world and fund the WHO, I can see a changing the world. Ranting on the internet 24/7, not so much.
Most are just far more considered and cautious in how they go about it, because getting it wrong _hurts_everyone_, including themselves.
Most people getting into that group donthat by focussing their time on making money. This usually requires quite some dedication, which is a character trait you can't simply replace for going to the beach.
There are exceptions, but it's rare. And then there are the ones who got spoiled as a kid and were lucky with some decisions, like making some good real estate deals in Manhatten or finding the right partners to build some online payment service, who never learned about responsibility.
Even Zuckerberg who made his fortune with social media seem to post less than him. I have never even heard of Bezos posting while Gates probably only post as PR for his foundation.
You don't have to make change atomically. Eventual consistency is sufficient and very practical.
So searching for "xvideos" on google or DDG is going to be interesting going forward.
xvideos.com's account is @xvideoscom and is dated 2010.
for some relevant humor.
