Elon Musk already risks violating condition of deal with Twitter

Elon Musk's criticism of a content decision made by Twitter Inc.'s legal team was followed by a wave of abusive tweets directed against the company's top lawyer, Vijaya Gadde.

Musk, who has 86.4 million followers on Twitter and has clinched a deal to buy the company for $44 billion (R702 billion), often uses the site as a way to criticise Twitter's decisions, particularly when they involve banning accounts from people who violate the platform's rules, some of whom Musk sees as being unfairly sidelined.

Found this hit piece pretty offensive:
Elon Musk a spoilt brat who doesn’t care about SA as he plays with new Twitter toy
- https://www.citizen.co.za/news/opinion/3084448/elon-musk-spoilt-brat-south-africa-twitter/

If the author/TheCitizen wanted help from Elon Musk for KZN, name calling "spoilt bat in a cot" is the wrong way to go about it.

Appealing to someone's kindness and compassion is more likely to work than insults.

The Citizen was not interested in getting help for KZN, they just wanted to alienate and insult Elon Musk.
EDIT: Citizen did it for clicks not for KZN

Why would anyone think that Musk owes South Africa anything?

Besides the African-American not being welcome due to his whiteness, he doesn't believe in connecting with the forefathers like African Africans do, so nothing ties him to the soil either.
 
Honestly I don't think Musk should have bought Twitter and should have just let it do its thing.

Just scrolling through his post history on Twitter shows you that dude has a mind full of ideas, often over-promises, sometimes a little unhinged. He's the modern day Howard Hughes -- Dude's a genius. A driven, crazy genius. Probably shouldn't have a Twitter account; certainly shouldn't have his own social media company (although, sigh, it was probably inevitable at some point). Not really vibing with his "censorship" posts.

In other words "****'s on fire, yo"

I much prefer him focusing on rockets and tinkering with electric cars and his musings on Mars...

I'll let him know immediately...hopefully he can still cancel the deal.

:rolleyes:
 
well Howard Hughes once liked a specific brand/Flavor of Ice cream, unfortunately the company had gone out of business, and the smallest order was 100 tons of ice cream,
next day he changed his mind, so they started giving out free ice cream to anybody visiting his Casino's

also Howard Hughes was a germaphobe and a Morphine drug addict, so who knows how mad Elon Musk is with his new Twitter toy.
maybe program it to insult people in Shakespearean English, based on a random bunch of words you typed.

I mean the dude sometimes fires people at the drop of a hat, if he does not like an explanation. or its crazy.
