Are you implying Linda Yaccarino is a weirdo? Oh wait, the chip on your shoulder is so big you can't even differentiate opinions anymore.

Come on, no weirdo-shaming. Elon was a cool weirdo before we found out he was also a racist prick.

Who is we? Is this 'we' you're talking about in the room right now?

You mean the... drum rolls Collective Zeitgeist?[1] Of course it's in the room, man. At least since the mid 20th century. You know, the society Of spectacle[2], the whole "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" thing. I know, I hate it too.
Elon has become the Kanye of IT world. That's unfortunate but it's the truth.
(Late Registration also is way better than any Tesla around though, so maybe not the fairest comparison).

I just find it impressive that you can draw conclusions about persons/situations and state them as facts when you yourself have no personal investment in them.
You don't find that a little bit strange? Instead of saying "It's a Twitter clone", you thought it would be wise to drag people into your own miserable (and false) opinions. For what, to make them just as miserable?

Everyone but the weirdo boot lickers.
All the operational decisions are still being made and announced personally by Elon.

Technically Elon Musk is a CEO, and he is at the helm of Twitter, so Twitter does have an impulsive weirdo CEO at the helm, even if that impulsive weirdo CEO isn't the CEO of Twitter.
