this makes me so angry. millions of hours of people cultivating connection and community and one man-child’s whims just destroyed it because of a mood swing he felt while vacationing on an island (that btw no individual person should own)
"I don't know why I did it. "
"The judge basically said I have to buy Twitter or else, and now I’m like, okay.”
Elon made the decision to buy the company outright while he was in a “manic mood” pulling an all-nighter on a visit to Larry Ellison’s Hawaiian island.

The University of Chicago—whose endowment is $8.5 billion—won’t be paying their resident assistants (RAs) their spring quarter salaries.
The quarterly salary of an RA is $3,404.
Resident assistants—older students who work in dorms and are guaranteed housing—have realized, by sharing updates through informal group chats, that they will not be paid for spring quarter.
