Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk Discuss Social Media

Image
Mark Zuckerberg: Elon, it's good to see you again. Elon Musk: Likewise, Mark. It's been a while. Mark Zuckerberg: I know, it has. We've been pretty busy, both of us. Elon Musk: That's for sure. I'm still trying to figure out how to get to Mars, and you're still trying to figure out how to keep people from hating you. Mark Zuckerberg: (laughs) That's one way of putting it. Elon Musk: So, how are we doing, Mark? Are we still competing with each other? Mark Zuckerberg: We are, but it's a friendly competition. We both want to make the world a better place, and we both think social media can play a big role in that. Elon Musk: I agree.

Oh Elon, What Did You Do?

Twitter once was a beacon of hope,  Now a wasteland of darkness and dope.  Where once we could share our thoughts and our dreams,  Now we're only left with Elon's screams. He has taken our platform and made it his own,  Renaming it "X" as if it were a throne.  He sits upon it and tweets his decrees,  While we all cower in fear of his knees. He has changed the rules, he has changed the game,  And now we are all just his little drones.  We can't speak out, we can't even complain,  For he will silence us with a single keystroke. Oh, Twitter, what have you become?  A twisted parody of what you once were.  A shadow of your former self Now nothing more than a tool for Elon's wealth. He has taken you from us, and there is nothing we can do.  We are all just pawns in his twisted game.  We are all just X's in his grand scheme.    -Unlikely Buddha
