X-formerly-Twitter is in deep trouble — and owner Elon Musk is on his knees, yet again, begging advertisers to return.

“I do shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but at least you know it is genuine, not from the PR department,” he admitted.

He’s been brainwashed by his fans if he thinks that somehow makes it better.

Like, authenticy is good for good things, but it makes shitty things even shittier. It’s not a value that’s always good in every context. And the worst thing he could be doing is doubling down on his opinions and policy.

If he left the company is the only way this would help, he wouldn’t even be a fall guy because most of this is entirely his fault

Yeah I robbed that gas station but at least some crime boss didn’t make me do it. It was genuine so you should forgive me

“Shoot oneself in the foot” is a really charitable description of “inviting all the worst Nazis back on to social media and removing fact checking.”
