Elon Musk revealing Joyce Carol Oates really got under his skin

cooked his ass

Joyce Carol Oates & @Joyce... 17h § ...
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk @elonmusk
X.com
Oates is a liar and delights in being mean.
Not a good human.

A robot next to The Rock in an SNL sketch. In the sketch, the rock - here named Roy - made a child molesting robot named robo chomo. Hope you’re all having a good one. At least tomorrow’s Friday, right?

This greeted us just a few miles from the Austin airport when we rolled in last night. Someone around here has been hard at work to welcome Elon's dork brigade as they arrive for the Tesla AGM 💀 #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Light up road construction sign that's been changed (we assume lol) to read "everyone hates Elon." This one's by I-35 in central Austin and we hear there are more around town 🙌 #teslatakedown

Musk: X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. ...the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts.

Brace for another wave of x refuges

& What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts
and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links.

How this hits reality: This marks the first time a major social platform has handed full control of content discovery to an Al model.
Engagement farms, trend-hacking accounts, and traditional growth tactics may soon lose their edge. The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging, turning social media optimization into a new form of prompt engineering. This shift could reshape influencer strategies, ad targeting, and even political communication in a matter of weeks.
• Key takeaway: X did not just change its algorithm; it replaced it with an Al reader.
Your reach will soon depend on how fluently you can speak Grok.

Over at X, the everything app, the new (10 months) head of advertising quit today. He joins the departing head of marketing, the chief legal counsel, the CEO, and two CFO’s - all gone in the past few months.

Elon Musk is a genius, and it’s going great, thanks.
