May be he should ask chatGPT to do that
It is possible that Elon is learning about internet scale systems on the job. For a person who doesn't know much about this field, he seems awfully confident about what works. His company, his rules. You gotta hand it to him for being transparent about his limitations, although he meant the opposite.
Honestly, internet scale applications are over-glorified on Blind because of the obvious demographic bias. Not a Musk fan, but someone’s gotta break it out here. He figured out rockets and self driving cars. It’s a bit difficult to think that a little social app is going to be much more difficult to figure out…
Just the way he figured out finance and paid $44 billion for a little social app? Must have been easier than rocket science. Classic blind to assume that Elon is a genius who can't go wrong.
Just a publicity stunt to re-list the stock at 10x the valuation in a year or two and swindle his fanboys
And how would this help him relist the stock at 10x with market buying the valuation ?
Put up some fake work that sounds revolutionary
Seriously what is he upto... Why doesn't he simply go ahead and instead buy Signal or Koo...
He can't. His money isn't real. He's not liquid. Virtually all his money is tied up in investments. He purchased Twitter for $44 billion. He doesn't have $44 billion, in a fuckin shoebox. Its in Tesla, and SpaceX and Neuralink, plus various hedge funds he can't pull money out of without taking on penalties (aka MORE debt) He's having a panic attack right now If he was your middle class neighborhood hoarder with a house and yard overfilled with ... oh, I dunno, Christmas decorations. Stacked, organized, some carefully protected, some waterlogged Christmas decorations ... and you were watching your weird ass hoarder neighbor neighbor have a panic attack and trip and fall on Christmas decorations and angrily throw broken decorations at broken decorations, you'd be like .. I dunno, would you lovingly intervene? Would you awkwardly look away? Would you film that shit like "wurld-STAAAAHHHHHRRRR!!!" ... Elon Musk is a CEO, of multiple companies. Have you met any executives? I have. Some of them are really smart. Most of them are kinda stupid. Actually I can't quantify "most" but a whole lotta them are. Have you met any dudes who are CEOs of 2+ companies? I have. Literally all but 1 was stupid as fuck. The 1 smart dude was still accidentally missing so many big cool things because he was so busy. I've met and known super rich people with multiple executive jobs, like 2+ executive jobs. They're pretty much all kinda weird. And lowkey stupid. So what if your neighbor hoarded cash instead of Christmas decorations. Then he spazzed off. You'd be like "He's always been a weird guy and now he's spazzing off on his cash" Elon Musk is spazzing off, on giant hoarded piles of credit *** You wanna know whats REALLY gonna be crazy. Wait until it all goes away. All of Elon Musk's ... "money" He's gonna "lose" a quarter billion in "money" And when that happens? The global economy will be fine. It'll be like nothing happened. Proving ... proving ... that money isn't really real. Corporations aren't people. And money isn't real.
Anyway to answer your question what is he up to. He's dumping Tesla stock to pay off monthly payments on his $44 billion loan. He can't skip payments, just like every other schmuck, or his credit rating goes down. Except, imagine what'd happen if YOU skipped the monthly payment on a 30 year $44 billion loan with a 2.9% APR ... hooooooooo dolly thats a big black eye on your credit report! So he's dumping TSLA to pay TWTR loans but he doesn't have any TWTR investors or revenue, so he can't buy back TSLA stock, so the market is flooded with TSLA and investors see a disengaged TSLA CEO having a panic attack, so now TSLA is tanking and he's probably gonna lose Tesla Motors over his actions. Which will probably end up being a win for the industry. I'd say buy TSLA but the real money is on whichever hedge fund shark circling TSLA is best positioned.
This is when Elon fanboys .. who are REAL techs on this site .. vs the Elon fanboys who are just the fuckin 4chan trolls who make $38k/year working a cash register ... are going to BOTH be exposed. Elon Musk, wants an entirely new Greenfield project to tranaparently migrate the entire Twitter platform on an entirely new code base, with $0 VC funding. Now is when his executive chops will be exposed. If he executes on this and turns things around, brings about new advertisers, data analytics customers and an invigorated new user base, while simultaneously refactoring the ENTIRE code base, using just 5% of the staff he initially purchased ... Well, I'll be wrong. Won't I? But as a, uh .. "liberal hater", who also has considerable experience, I can't help but think this is gonna go real fuckin sideways, real fuckin fast.
Twitter was the house, but what made it great was the party. Party's over because a drunken fratboy bought it, and he's tearing down the house because nobody wants to hang out with him. They won't want to hang out with him in his new house either.
@confluent bro hopefully the djs, dancers, rappers and taggers land on their feet
Rewriting software this big never works - its stupid. The new code/design will have it's own bottlenecks.
Literally Elon’s response to “describe the stack and why it’s crazy” was “you are a jackass.” Seriously, how could anyone look up to this guy?
Show me a successful re-write and I’ll show you a 🦄 Is there a recording of this space available? Would love to hear the whole thing.
Did the idiot just say there are too many lines of code?? Didn't he fire people based on lines of code written??
Elon prefers concise unreadable code and hence the rewrite. Scala developers at Twitter got to feel insulted by lines of code comment 🤣
I forgot about this entire Twitter and Scala thing. That was one of the stupider decisions Twitter made. They should have stuck with Java with a plan to move to Kotlin.
