still hasn't understood that the world doesn't need any more proof that he's actually 12 :| we get it, you're a child.

I saw a very nice post by a wikimedia engineer showing why they ask for donations and why their budget is as high as it is (this is the point elmo seems irritated by and what started this shit) - and the sheer numbers are frankly insane (sth like 100k http request per second, on average). that blew my mind a little.

I was wondering why my old buddy got all worked up recently. It's a real hive mind Elmo bought and has on X.
 
"Musk later fired an engineer who showed him his popularity was declining on the app, the Platformer report added."

And that tells you everything you need to know about him. Reminds me of the self-aware narcissist, Zaphod Beeblebrox, "If there's anything more important than my ego, I want it caught and shot right now."
 
I heard in a podcast someone commenting on the fact that he's a "fan" or The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Asimov, etc. but he does so without getting it. He'd definitely be Zaphod Beeblebrox. (I doubt he even read the books.)
