It's a little worse than 'not going well', is my point.
- Offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion
- Try to back out when Twitter says "ok lol"
- Get forced to complete the purchase
- Saddle Twitter with the debt you now have as a result of buying Twitter
- Invite all the previously-banned bigots and hatemongers back on the site
- Make your staff's lives hell, including bullshit 'performance' stuff like checking how many lines-of-code they write, so most of them are either fired or leave on their own
- Raise API prices sky-high, get ridiculed
- Lock everything behind user log-in, logged-out users can't see anything
- Rate-limit how many things logged-in users can do
- Break widgets
- Was once the public square of the internet, now weather services are moving to Mastodon
- "why are we still losing money >:("
- Initiate a half-assed rebrand to "X" but the logo, 𝕏, is literally just a mathematical symbol. Who needs copyright on your billion dollar company's brand identity, eh?
Whoa, be careful everyone, these are the slick moves of a master genius!
It's entirely possible that he was smart, I'm sure he was to an extent, but I believe that Space X and Tesla have better structures in places for managing/limiting Musk's direct influence, and I also believe that, like many of the super rich, he's succumbed to a form of right-wing brain rot over the years. His brain is now smooth and toxic.
It becomes a lot easier to understand when you remember that he might just be kinda stupid :)
Do you have a template for new issues? If so, you could write a GitHub Actions workflow that looks for certain values or info and applies some labels automatically… but probably only basic stuff, to avoid false positives.

Don’t forget this bit:
