I’m sure he’ll be consoled by his billions and having a corrupted government that coddles him even further.
The best part is no he won’t. He desperately craves being liked and can’t understand why he isn’t.
Matt Calkins, CEO of software company Appian… said Musk’s approach to running his tech companies didn’t translate well in Washington.
It doesn’t even work well in his tech companies.
That’s because he bought successful, well managed companies.
When he had full creative control… we got the Cybertruck.
Unrelated tangent on the Appian software: It is exactly your solution if you have a five person job, but need to employ 30
Gross. AI corpo shilling.
I thought it was a joke about the software making work much less efficient?
It was indeed a joke. Appian is a “low/no-code” platform (that surprisingly requires quite a bit of code) used to build shitty customer service workflows. It is tailored for non-technical people and sold as a cost effective solution to clueless executives. It is the kind of software solution that body shops like infosys, accenture, etc love because they can load up lots of low skill people on the project (but charge the client as if they were higher skilled). The result of this arrangement is mediocre at best. Additional changes or scope creep drags out these kinds of projects. Because the system was built with low-skill there aren’t the same considerations given for readability, extensibility and all of the other good software development practices that enable future velocity. Again, another win for the body shops as they can’t deliver the changes the client wants fast enough. So now there is this parasitic body shop attached at your company’s hip after Appian is deeply ingrained into your business processes. It is exactly the kind of penny-wise, pound foolish thinking (“I can hire lots of non-engineers for one engineers salary!”) that ends up costing way more in the long run.
TL;DR: Appian is a wage suppression grift.
Well, that’s on me. It’s a difficult sentence to parse in English since it’s kind of nonsensical, but I guess that’s the joke 😅
Damn, a tongue lashing? But was he SLAMMED?
It was a STUNNING tongue lashing.
Maybe, but from what I’ve heard, maybe he needs to be on self-unaliving watch. His employees were worried after he got booed off of the stage at the Chappelle concert.
Please stop using TikTok language. It’s only there you are not allowed to say suicide, which, by itself, is fucking stupid, so please use the language as it’s meant to be written.
I used that term because the words "k1ll3d’ and “s@1c1d3” are automatically censored on many platforms.
Also, your opinion is couldn’t be more worthless to me. But keep up the condescension. I’m sure it’s badass on our Discord chat group.
We are not on those platforms, we have to opportunity to build something better here, so please don’t bring along the repressive habits from TikTok, Discord or reddit. No need for personal attacks either.
I’m glad that Brian Thompson was killed, it was not a suicide. See? Different place, different culture. Let’s embrace it!
I asked in a friendly way, and explained why, and you attack me? Alright, no problem, I’ll just block your user. Damn, I love the Lemmy functionalities where I can remove/tag toxic people. Hope you have a lovely day!
Can you tag with Jerboa? Which client are you using?
I’m using Voyager (vger.app)

This is the internet, you can say fuck. It was never meant for children under 13.
Nah if he wants to kill himself I ain’t stopping him.
Theater.
Elon Musk is playing the part of “heel”, and articles and reporting like this is engineered to “take you in” to the moment, where something can be simplified and reduced to a “good” versus “evil” paradigm. It creates an escape clause for those doing the truly villainous where the heel can be pointed to as “worse”.
100%. Also a hatchet man. He’s brought in, wrecks shit on purpose, gets “kicked out”, profits immensely. Now admin can roll things back 5-10% to placate the plebes and blame Musk who everyone already hates for their life being worse. That said, a lot of people would nonperformatively tell him to go fuck himself. Just don’t mistake it as anyone being on your side
He literally came in waving a chainsaw. Hatchet man the entire way, this was preordained.
It was classic “seagull manager” shit that the private sector looooooves to pull (usually combined with a consultant company and/or very short-term executive position), but on the federal government level.
Comes in, shits all over everything, typically skips off to do something else at another institution within a few short years, sometimes just a few months. Pays no consequences whatsoever for his stupid shit, is praised by the “right people” for being a financial/operational/executive genius or whatever; hated almost universally by everyone else.

My thoughts exactly. Distancing him from MAGA so people won’t hate him. People have very short attention spans and memories Elon could be seen as good again.
I was going to say, this has been one of the clumsier high-school dinner theater productions I’ve been to.
Agree, and I’ve been to some pretty rough Rocky Horror Picture shows.
This is partly true.
The other part is he’s so rich that he virtually cannot go broke.
No one person should have that much wealth.
Not true it’s mostly all Tesla stock. I guess he couldn’t go broke but he could loose more money then anyone ever in history.
And still be a billionaire.
“But… but… akshully…”
The old Vince McMahon strategy.
I concur, fuck you Elon Musk.
But also fuck Scott Bessent. And pretty much everyone else within earshot of that conversation.
Leave off on the permanent staff. They have to scrape Big Macs off the walls.
I’d rather deny him those bodily pleasures. Hit him with a bat instead.
I approve of this message
Y’all are being way too nice on this actual Nazi
He hurt a lot of people and the debt is higher than ever.
Mission accomplished, for them
Lmao. He’s so fucking unlikeable. That is absolutely hilarious.
That’s what his riches are all about, it’s all just trying to make people like him. He’s the unlikable rich kid who tries to buy friends.
But it’s not gonna work, all the money in the world won’t make people genuinely like you. Only humility and therapy would do that and those aren’t going to happen.
If he wanted people to like him, he would have solved global hunger. The UN told him that they needed only 6 billion dollars to do that. The idiot asked for an itemized list and when he was provided with one, he quit the conversation.
This is unrelated but why the fuck does every hat Musk wears look like it’s like 2 sizes too small? Like I’ve got a big head and a proper hat settles like right on my brow, meanwhile with Musk it’s like 2/3rds up his fucking forehead.
Probably avoiding friction on his hair plugs.
I saw it as his way of showing us that he has a big brain. And that he is very smart because of it.
This is just stupid enough to be believable, mind you I think he is less intelligent than labatomized cockroach but point still stands.
They must look right to him in the mirror. Gotta make sure the text is nice and square and forward.
Or maybe he has a sensory thing and this is how he deals with it though positioning.
The problem is that the hats technically sit correctly, so I think he just has a weird head. Though it could also be a sensory thing since he has had a lot of work done including hair plugs so maybe it’s something to do with that?
IDK maybe I should stop over analyzing a fascist I wish to scalp.
The trump hats are made specifically to be outrageous imo
Sure but it sits way too high on his head, this is something specific to this particular dipshit. Fuck even when Trump himself wears the dipshit hat it fits better.
🤣
Fuck all of them, I say
Off with their heads!
I don’t know that we should be advocating for violence here. If we do that, we may find our opponents responding by doing the same, resulting in a positive feedback loop of escalation. I mean it’s not like they [checks notes] carefully planned and organized a rally based on an extremely inflammatory lie, riled up the attendees, told them to fight, sent them to the Capitol Building resulting in an angry mob that stormed the Capitol while actively calling for the deaths of the VP and several members of Congress, killing some people and vandalizing the offices of Congress…oh, no. Well, at least they weren’t pardoned for their flagrant, violent insurrection…oh, no. You know what? Just disregard my earlier comments. Carry on.
Green. Mario.
Love it. Marios that are green should be free.
We don’t need violence to deal with Musk, I agree.
We can do far worse. We can strip him of his US government contracts, seize all of his US assets, and ban him from ever setting foot on US soil again.
He’s always been rich since birth, but what he really craves is attention and adulation. He literally believes he’s Homo Superior, and deserves worship.
He’ll still be rich, but the blow to his fragile pubescent ego would be devastating.
Oh shut the fuck up. They’re already committing violence.
Maybe try reading again, a little more carefully this time. Start from the end, if it helps.
Sorry, not giving you a pass. Writing a block of text and then going “Oh nevermind” doesn’t mean you don’t get held responsible for everything you wrote.
Piss off with that.
It’s an obvious farce from the beginning with a direct reference to the violence of the J6 insurrection. It would have been a lot harder to make it any more transparent without just ham-fistedly commenting, “J6 bad. Violence justified.” I’m definitely not asking for a pass. I stand by what I wrote. It seems we have different interpretations of its meaning.
Are you illiterate?
Ok. Get to it. The world is waiting.
After the tongue lashing he had a ketamine chaser.
If gulf was a word to describe a type of person, he could be the gulf of America
