Posted after tonetheman's link here, in case anyone thinks the follow-up was deliberately elided.

Hey, why have facts when you can guess?

More seriously, Twitter has been a toxic cesspool long before Elon made it worse, and I’m happy I deleted my account and have never missed it. Actually it’s been a boon when I visit a Twitter link and then Twitter nags me to sign in, it’s a great reminder to close that tab and move on with my life.

And my guess is Elon's just spouting random half-ass commands like "banscript anyone who ever mentioned @elonjet" and the hardcore codemonkeys (read: trapped and unable to quit so obviously fearful of being fired) just run them rather than talkback.

I know Paul has been speedrunning awful out-of-touch takes these last few years, but this is literally just that meme of weird nerds diving in front of Elon to deflect criticism.

Watching VC elites ever so slowly realize Elon is a piece of shit conman is hilarious.

I think they've known but didn't want to go down with him.

Then Paul would do well to keep some distance.
