He really needs to get off the coke.

Musk lays off loyal Twitter executive who went viral for sleeping at work.

So what he does he doesn't want anyone else to do?

He really is turning into a dog turd.

Has Elon shot himself in the foot again?

Chinese state media has slammed billionaire Elon Musk, blaming him for spreading a “conspiracy theory” about Covid’s origins.

.......Given China is one of Tesla’s biggest markets, the impact of any Chinese retaliation could seriously affect the company’s profits.

Would you live in a town where Elon is landlord and possibly the mayor as well?

Tesla Tenants? Elon Musk Reportedly Building ‘Texas Utopia’ Town Named ‘Snailbrook’ Near Austin; Has Already Bought Thousands Of Acres.

Musk is reportedly carving out a slice of the Lone Star State for his own corporate use.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Musk is in the process of planning to build a town on a portion of the thousands of acres of newly purchased “pasture and farmland,” in his possession near the state’s capital. Musk reportedly met with landowners and real estate agents to detail his vision to build a “Texas utopia,” along the Colorado River for his employees to live and work. The town, dubbed “Snailbrook,” will exist about 35 miles outside of Austin near the new construction of Boring and SpaceX facilities. Executives at Musk’s tunneling outfit Boring are reportedly considering incorporating the future town in Bastrop County in order to reserve the ability to set regulations for their own municipality. During a company-wide meeting last year, Boring president Steve Davis reportedly suggested there would be an election held to determine who would become the mayor of the city....

....However, residents of the town would have only 30 days to vacate the homes they occupy in the event they are laid off or quit...
I'll pass.

Well it looks like Elon gets an "F" for his work at Twitter.

Musk has revealed Twitter is now worth less than what he paid for it, according to a leaked email he sent staff.

Musk has reportedly told Twitter employees that the social network is currently valued at about $US20 billion ($A30 billion), a substantial decrease from the $US44 billion ($A66 billion) he paid for it last October.

The New York Timesand The Information, who read the internal email, reported its purpose was to announce a new stock compensation program but included a warning from Musk that Twitter remained in a precarious financial position and had even briefly been four months away from running out of money.

Musk suggested that “radical changes” at the company, such as mass lay-offs and cost cutting, were necessary to avoid bankruptcy and streamline operations....

Apparently unless you're mighty white you shouldn't work at Tesla.

Tesla ordered to pay more than $3 million in damages over racially hostile workplace.

....Tesla has been sued more than 200 times by current or former contractors and employees since 2018 in the U.S., according to legal records database Plainsite. That number does not account for disputes that have gone straight to arbitration. As CNBC has previously reported, where it is legal to do so, Tesla has compelled employees to agree to mandatory arbitration.

Last week, a former Tesla service manager, a Black man named John Goode, filed a lawsuit in Northern California alleging that a white man who was his manager in Georgia repeatedly made racist remarks in his presence, was racially biased against him and another Black colleague, had him fired on false pretenses in retaliation after Goode objected to this treatment.

Elon may have a huge privacy problem on his hands with Tesla.

Tesla workers shared sensitive images recorded by customers' cars, former employees say.

Tesla assures its millions of electric car owners that their privacy "is and will always be enormously important to us". The cameras it builds into vehicles to assist driving, it notes on its website, are "designed from the ground up to protect your privacy".

Just more proof that Elon is a hypocrite who desperately needs help to get off that Diet Coke as an old interview resurfaces and yet he now plans to launch an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that he calls “TruthGPT”. :-O

I bet that will be like delusional Donny's "Truth", umm, "Blatant Lying" network.

Elon has not had a good day.

Musk’s fortune slashed by $17 billion after a horror 24 hours.

That should cut back his Diet Coke intake a little bit.

Twitter has started removing the blue "verified" checkmark from all accounts that are not subscribed to Twitter Blue including those of celebrities and legitimate organizations. This has resulted in a large increase in scam accounts as they can't be distinguished from the genuine as neither have the verified mark.

Twitter is down to less than half its previous valuation so I'm hoping that Elmu will decide to cut his losses and step aside, handing the reins to someone competent.

The screw ups continue.

Twitter users baffled over Elon Musk backflip that reinstates blue ticks on deceased users’ accounts.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk appears to have backflipped on his decision to force people to pay for a verified account after reinstating blue ticks for some users, including several deceased identities.

Those with over one million followers did a double-take over the weekend when their ‘legacy’ blue ticks began reappearing beside their username on the social media platform, despite them not paying for a subscription.

Now A-listers like Beyonce, Andy Murray and Richard Osman have received their blue ticks back as quickly as they went missing, while other professionals, such as some journalists, continue to have no verification.

However it’s not just the living who have access to this unexpected feature – a string of deceased personalities also received a tick on their still-existing accounts.

Cherished Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman, chef Anthony Bourdain, comedian Bob Saget, athlete Kobe Bryant and US senator John McCain are among several celebrities who now have a blue tick on their accounts, despite being dead.

Even music artists Michael Jackson and Prince appear to have verified accounts.......

Either Elon was having yet another brain fade (most likely due to all that Diet Coke) or he just doesn't keep up with years old news.

Tesla owner Elon Musk has revealed his plans for a huge new F1 event after visiting Red Bull’s team set up – but fans quickly pointed out one big problem.

Obviously he hasn't heard about Formula-E before it got pointed out to him by many.

Elon loves his dictators so much he'll do anything for them.

Musk’s angry justification for a controversial move has left jaws on the floor, with supporters of free speech mocking him.

Why didn't he just censor all political B.S. in Turkey?
