All while having his hands out to get money to cover his stupid Twitter offer.

Elon has fired a top Twitter engineer because people just don't care that much about him anymore.

On Tuesday, Musk gathered a group of engineers and advisors into a room at Twitter’s headquarters looking for answers. Why are his engagement numbers tanking?

“This is ridiculous,” he said, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the meeting. “I have more than 100 million followers, and I’m only getting tens of thousands of impressions.”

One of the company’s two remaining principal engineers offered a possible explanation for Musk’s declining reach: just under a year after the Tesla CEO made his surprise offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion, public interest in his antics is waning.

Employees showed Musk internal data regarding engagement with his account, along with a Google Trends chart. Last April, they told him, Musk was at “peak” popularity in search rankings, indicated by a score of “100.” Today, he’s at a score of nine. Engineers had previously investigated whether Musk’s reach had somehow been artificially restricted, but found no evidence that the algorithm was biased against him.

Musk did not take the news well.

“You’re fired, you’re fired,” Musk told the engineer. (Platformer is withholding the engineer’s name in light of the harassment Musk has directed at former Twitter employees.)

I hope no one is getting fired over the completely fictional view counts.

Elon is cooking up bullshit to sell prospective advertisers. Anyone buying advertising from Elon should be gearing up a lawsuit for this.

For next time Elon Musk tries to pretend he's anti-media and anti-establishment...

Here he is, hanging out with Rupert Murdoch at the Superbowl.

And tweeting his actual location! That’s stalking and he should be permanently suspended for that, or something.

Republicans will keep pretending he’s on no one’s side.
