   In 2000, Elon Musk tried to rebrand PayPal as X.com, but was forced out by the board and replaced as CEO by Peter Thiel.

   Now he’s doing the same to Twitter, but is surrounded by sycophants who can’t tell him it’s a bad idea.

     @groundcrazymae @parismarx his Tesla models are S 3 X.

     I don't think he's particularly subtle about it.

     @parismarx @groundcrazymae I heard somewhere that emotional development usually stops when people get rich, and he was rich in his teens...

     @Scott1984FP @mu @Red_Shirt_Dude @parismarx @groundcrazymae
     The size of the brain is developed as you stated but that's not the same as emotional process at full maturity. Our brains continue to remodel until around 25. It is a theory that drug & alcohol use to the point of addiction, stops that maturity process

     I agree about his looking in the wrong places and no boundaries. Doesn't mean he has a mature brain that

     I think we can all agree, he's an immature dick.

     I just posted about that. Emotional growth stops when you become addicted to drugs

     @Red_Shirt_Dude @parismarx @groundcrazymae emotional development stops when people get drugs?

     That doesn't seem intuitive to me, but maybe?

     @DoktorPooPoo Yeah, so I’m referring to the PayPal product. X was financial services, then merged with Confinity which made PayPal. Musk was CEO of merged company called X, and tried to rename the core product PayPal as X too, but was ousted over it because users trusted the PayPal brand and didn’t trust X. Then the X services were shut down by Thiel so the entire company eventually took the PayPal name.
