Somebody in our group chat knows this guy who did this, and he shared a text message that the guy sent before he did it. So he goes,

he goes, yo, bro. And the person says sup. He goes, are you doing anything in the next hour? Wanna help me pull off a stunt? I'm at the gym, and I need a box, l o l. I'm a walk out in front of the Twitter office with a box in my hand. There's hella TV crews outside.

So Elon takes over Twitter I guess the purchase went through. I feel like there was never, like, confirmation. Like, he he actually wired the money. He just literally showed up at the office and, like Yeah. There there there hasn't been, like, a proper river, ribbing ribbing ribbon cutting moment. Like, it's not like It was really good. Water. He just, like, went into the office and they're like, you own it now. You seem to be here. It's mine. Yeah. It's mine.

Like playing on rules, like, wow.

That's all it took to have Twitter.

Have you ever heard of, like, a coup, like, a coup d'etat, like, where with governments,

you know, I was I I read a lot of yeah. They're pretty cool. Yeah. They are. Gotcha. I read a lot of history, history, jokes or history jokes. I read a lot of history books about, whatever. And they talked about like a coup and I'm like,

so you literally just like walked into the White House And you just said, like, you know, this is mine and, like, the general has promised me that he's gonna convince these soldiers to attack. You know what I mean? It's like an interesting con concept. You're like,

So it's all just made up, I guess. Like, these rules that we're we we live by. This is just this is fiction. And that's kinda like what I felt like he did. He just walked he's, you know, like, Well, I I own this now. Thank you.

Did have you seen, you know, Derek Lewis, the FC Feder. Have you seen that compilation of his thing where he says, just get up?

No.

So they're like, Derek, you're big, like, knockout artists, but, like, you know, the the the knock on yourself has been, like, what if you're getting a wrestling thing, you know, how's your jujitsu? Are you training?

Jisjitsu ain't real, man. And they're like, what? And he's like, man, you don't need jujitsu. Just get up.

And they're like, well, he's like, wanna stay on the ground with another man between my legs. I'm not into that. Like, I'm not gonna do jujitsu. I'm just gonna get up. They're like, but you you need jujitsu to get up. He's like, no. I'm just gonna get up. And so then there's a there's a clip of him saying that. And then there's a, like, a six minute compilation of, literally, somebody takes him down. He doesn't do jujitsu. He just stands

so so powerful. That's how I feel. That's what Elon Musk did. He's just like, no. Just just walk in.

Yeah. Take it. What do you mean? He's like, well, I'm just gonna walk in with sink.

And take it. So anyway, he does this thing where he just he says, this is mine.

And there's all these reporters outside of Twitter's office,

and something's happening for a story. They're waiting for the story about something going wrong. Elon comes here. Oh, there's a protest. There's a walk in. And so the what what happens is the first big story that happens is there's a picture of these two guys

and,

kinda like, you know, kinda like

nerdy sort of engineering looking guys, and they're holding giant cardboard boxes.

And it says these two data scientists, the data engineers, data scientists were fire today from Twitter.

Here they're seen walking out with their possessions and their boxes.

And,

and I saw it and immediately something looked a little off.

Because I was like, this guy just looks so goofy. But I was like, man, that's pretty believable. You know, there's much of goofy looking people that work in tech. But, okay. Oh, my god. He looks wow. They man, they really found the perfect character. He looks looks pretty and then I read the name. He says But he but he but he had a box in his hand. So each had a brown box, like,

which is just foreign because, like, if you work at a tech company, like, You you don't even probably own anything. You own enough just to put in a book bag. Put your laptop in your backpack. Yeah. And, like, if you do get fire, do they even, like, is that a thing where you, like, hand people a box anymore? I don't know. You know what I mean? They they played it perfectly. So then it says, rahu ligma and something Johnson,

we're fired on today. Daniel Johnson, we're fired today. Blah blah blah. And then And I saw that and I was like, oh my god. This guy executed a lingman, like, for those who don't know,

Ligma

is a, is a little joke that people play on the internet where it's like, ligma. Like, you say something above all, ligma. And then someone's Ligma? What's, like, I'm not familiar. Yeah. Ligma nuts. Alright. So that's the joke. And they did this to basically, I think CNBC was the first one who, like, reported it, and then it just kept getting the same photo kept getting spread ever because everybody wanted this story about And the lady tweeted,

she was this CNBC reporter, and I I the original tweet said something like, we're at the scene of Twitter. These two engineers just came out who said they're the first to be laid off, and it just so clear how defeated they are and like there's like an audible or what does she say? She's like there's just a visible

They're just visibly defeated and totally broken. And Rahul Ligma says, now he has no idea how he's gonna be able to afford his Tesla payments.

And and then he's sitting there holding a Michelle Obama book.

And so it's like him with his box just holding this Michelle obama book. I don't know why. And he just said, and she tweeted out, like, you know, this is just they say the first of many that's going to happen. It it was just like a crazy crazy scene. So people are,

people are are are have heard this part of the story, but now we got that my first million exclusive juice on top of it. So Somebody in our group chat knows this guy who did this, and he shared a text message that the guy sent before he did it. So he goes,

He goes, yo, bro, and the person says sup. He goes, are you doing anything in the next hour? Wanna help me pull off a stunt? I'm at the gym, and I need a box, l o l, I'm a walk out in front of the Twitter office with a box in my hand. There's hella TV crews outside.

And then

This is literally how he pulled this up and he just goes. He gets an empty box in a Michelle Obama book. There's nothing else in the box.

And he walks out in the TV cruise

go for it. And so the so that was, I thought, amazing. And then he so that was, like, I mean, what kind of genius is this person? Then he goes.

There's Helen TV let's go get him. He goes

he goes, bro, the media is so dumb. I literally put five minutes of planning into this. Even my uncle in India has seen the picture now, He goes, and he goes, and the first thing goes, did you just see the cameras and just walk out there? He goes, yeah. Basically, I got to the gym. It's near Twitter's headquarters. I saw all these cameras, and so I just went to

Amazing. That is so funny. The better that who is this guy? He's, like, a founder of, like, a tech startup, basically. Just did this before. Oh my god. Yeah. I'm I am ready to invest. And his thing says, like, stealth startup. So I'm, like, I'm ready to invest in whatever he's he's doing.

Any evaluations? There's Helen TV. There's Helen TV cameras.

Name, name your price, Lakema.

You mean, so

So he goes, okay. So that was him. Did you see the interview with the other guy, Daniel Johnson?

No. He also had a little gem. So that his was on videos that they're like, You know, how do you feel about this today? He's like, I don't know. I just gotta, like, I gotta go home. I gotta talk to my husband and wife and regroup

What do you want?

I I don't know. I just I just really wanna go home. I just really wanna go home, talk to my husband life and just remember.

The most san francisco thing ever. How long have you, like, been in life?

Did anyone comment on that? The news didn't even, like, you know, they just played the clip. And then I saw that. I was like, wow, that is the funniest thing I've ever

perfect. Timing that these guys are, like, you know, committing geniuses, basically. So Yeah. This is pretty gold. Amazingly well played.

I don't do you wanna talk about the Elon war room? Like, what he's actually doing in there? Like, do you wanna talk about that or not really? Have you false? Not really. I mean, like, I I read that he said, like, hey, guys. You have a weak to get this one thing done. And I think that that's cool. That's that's a good way to run things. I'm nervous he's gonna screw it all up and I because I make money from Twitter. So, like, I don't want it to go away.

But, of course, not to shill bro. Yeah. Yeah.

I got consulting calls to take. So,

I don't really care, though. Like, when he talks about this shit, I'm like, it doesn't impact me that much. I I don't I don't care what you're gonna do. I I just find I don't care. It's not gonna impact me, but I do find it interesting how he's going about this. So, basically, the report is it goes in. And and the first report, I thought, again, was another troll But I guess this is real. Do you see this? He he told every engineer

to print out all the code that they've committed and that they've written in the last three or six months. And have it ready for review. Did you see this? Why print? So you could just see the the page link. Those. And then they changed their mind. Like, I guess they realized how bad of an idea that was like, you know, an hour later, they're like, shred the papers actually. We're gonna review on the computer. Just be prepared to review. And so people are, like, all these engineers, like, printed out, like, you know, three hundred pages of code. I guess I'll just thread this. I don't know what's going on here. Dude, and what's crazy is, like, if you go to business insider dot com, the headline is, like, you know, I think it says, like, the toil of working at Twitter, and it's, like, painting it, like, these people. Here's their initial plan. Yeah. This, like, this is what it's like to toil at Elon Musk's Twitter. The expectation is literally to work twenty four seven. And Does that really say that? That's -- That's what he got. -- straight clown behavior. I cannot believe they're doing that.

I can believe it.

And and he says, this is it. One of the people familiar said, describing the feeling of the company under Musk, your job is on the line. It's like, dude, your job's always on the line. Like, is it, you know, like, this isn't, like, it's not your right to work at Twitter. You dumbass.

But I I, I I thought it was funny because like come on, man. Like, you're you're coding. This

yeah. You're gonna have to work fifty hours maybe for a little while, but also

I think a lot of employees at Twitter are probably like this is awesome. We've been sitting on our ass. Let's let's do it. And that side doesn't seem to be getting covered a lot. Yeah. And so he created, I guess, a war room. So he basically brought in a bunch of people he trusts. So he brought in people from his other companies. Like, he brought in his chief legal person that guy's now, like, the general counsel, basically, He brought in. He created a war room, and now here's who's reported to be in the war room. It's,

Elon,

his, his his chief counsel, then it's Jason Callacanis.

Oh, I think Jason's Jason's amazing, but, like, what the hell does he know? I guess, some place. It is, Sriram from a sixteen z. So just venture capitalist who's, you know, former PM used to work at Twitter is also, you know, had to run at Twitter.

And Clubhouse and,

Snapchat.

Yeah. And then and then also,

I guess, like, some other people, some engineers or people from, like, boring company or Dural Link or whatever, like, some people he trusts, like, his cousin is there. Like, And they basically just set up shop, and they were like, alright.

Well, we're gonna do with this thing. And they're like, change change a logged out page. It forces you to up. No. You should be able to read tweets before you sign in. You know, you sign up. And then, which is like an experiment's been tried many times before. And there's like, You know, we need to have this verification program. You have, you know, five days to deliver this, I guess. And so they're they're just, like, sort of, try to figure this out of, you know, Who stays? Who goes? What are we building? How are we gonna turn this thing around? And,

fascinating. I wish there could be a fly on the wall in this, in this war room, I think that would be, like, probably the most interesting thing to do right now. I think it would be awesome. I hope they don't screw it up though because I got some

fucking courses I gotta sell. So don't screw it up. They're gonna screw it up a lawn. My my point of view has always been very simple, which is all the things he complains about are things that, like, power users would be annoyed at on Twitter, like the bots problem

or,

you know, verification

or the algorithm, you know, like, not serving me the tweets I want. Like, the problem is that just only, I don't know, whether or the three hundred million people use Twitter.

And it's, like, you know, five times smaller than, like, the other big social services, and it doesn't really grow that much. And, like,

it's not like, you know, my mom doesn't use Twitter because she's like, oh, there's too many bots I tweet about crypto, that will tell me to buy crypto. Like, that's not her problem. She just doesn't see value in it. And, like, you know, you gotta She just says, I don't get it. Yeah. I don't get it. I I don't know would need this. Like, you know, I don't I don't need to check this. Whereas Instagram and WhatsApp and, like, Snapchat have all given her a reason that she needs to have it. Like, she needs to have Snapchat if she wants to see more pictures of her kids. She needs to have Instagram if she wants to keep up with what's going on with, like, Follywood or whatever. Right? Like, you know, everybody finds a need in the service. And, like, that's the core problem with Twitter is that the core needed addresses is only for, like, people like and like it doesn't address the need for a whole bunch of other people on the planet. And if they wanted it to be more valuable, then they would need to do that.
