00:00 - 00:05 | Settle down and listen to the greater fool |
00:05 - 00:07 | So this fella decides to buy twitter |
00:07 - 00:10 | buys 9% in January 2022 |
00:11 - 00:16 | saying he has "great ideas" |
00:17 - 00:21 | to make it a "platform for free speech around the globe"? |
00:21 - 00:24 | offers 54.20 a share to jerk off elonchans |
00:29 - 00:31 | that much debt for a fucking meme? |
00:31 - 00:34 | he then gets cold feet and wants to pull out? |
00:38 - 00:40 | because of "bots"? |
00:41 - 00:47 | the dude has never pulled out in his life, don't start now! |
00:47 - 00:50 | twitter legal try to make him stop |
00:50 - 00:56 | he refuses to see sense and doubles down |
00:58 - 00:59 | he buys it |
00:59 - 01:01 | "to save democracy" |
01:04 - 01:06 | for 3 times its value |
01:06 - 01:08 | fucking Tesla in the process |
01:13 - 01:14 | leveraging it as debt |
01:14 - 01:16 | then the chaos starts |
01:16 - 01:20 | he actually buys the whole damn thing |
01:21 - 01:27 | he then gets trigger fingers and starts the descent into Kanye-level insanity |
01:35 - 01:36 | he wants to cut costs |
01:36 - 01:39 | so he starts firing |
01:41 - 01:44 | sure who needs those pesky SREs |
01:44 - 01:47 | they do nothing, the site is never down |
01:47 - 01:49 | who needs infosec either? |
01:50 - 01:53 | the site isn't a target, is it? |
01:54 - 01:56 | these fired staff? |
01:56 - 01:58 | they find out on slack? |
01:58 - 02:02 | this guy is meant to be a damn genius |
02:05 - 02:07 | retains staff using shit metrics |
02:10 - 02:11 | LOC or commit rate |
02:11 - 02:13 | they lose tons of great staff |
02:15 - 02:17 | but want to monetize it? |
02:17 - 02:20 | do more with less, eh? |
02:21 - 02:28 | during the firing squads they build twitter blue |
02:29 - 02:30 | begs Steven King for 8 bucks |
02:30 - 02:32 | all while advertisers flee the titanic |
02:36 - 02:39 | So United, Pfizers and others abandon ship |
02:40 - 02:42 | He digs his heels in |
02:50 - 02:55 | Refuses to admit defeat and that he's broken twitter |
02:56 - 02:58 | has he lost his mind? |
02:58 - 03:04 | oh definitely,the shitposters have won |
03:04 - 03:09 | he can't stop the impersonations |
03:09 - 03:11 | twitter blue has failed, miserabl |
03:16 - 03:20 | his CISO just quit |
03:23 - 03:26 | he hasn't even had a public outage yet |
03:31 - 03:36 | he really is the dumbest man in history |
