WILD: actual photo of Musk-hired door knockers being driven around . 🗳️ 🇺🇸

This group of mostly-black workers were driven in the back of a truck with no seats.

They say they were flown in, given unrealistic goals, and threatened with their lodging being cut off & being forced to pay their own way home if they couldn't meet them.

WIRED · Workers Say They Were Tricked and Threatened as Part of Elon Musk’s Get-Out-the-Vote EffortBy Jake Lahut

A recent The Guardian column sheds light on the intricate relationship between executive conduct and market outcomes, suggesting that Musk's actions could potentially sway Tesla sales.

Joint research with my PhD student supports this notion, presenting evidence that Tesla's stock fluctuations were influenced by Musk's public demeanour.

This serves as a reminder of the power wielded by CEOs and the responsibility that comes with such a position. The full article provides a deeper analysis and is a recommended read for those interested in the intersection of corporate governance, public relations, and market performance.

The Internet Is About to Get Weird Again
by @anildash

"We are about to see the biggest reshuffling of power on the #internet in 25 years, in a way that most of the internet’s current users have never seen before. And while some of the drivers of this change have been hyped up, or even over-hyped, a few of the most important changes haven’t gotten any discussion at all."

If you want to know where #twitter was going pre #elomMusk, well, turns out it is not so very different from what he has been doing.

That is, a turn to monetise and prioritise users with twitter's #superfollows programme.

Pay for play, content, interaction. Two tier audiences. Your choice of course.

You may be OK with this, many platforms are similarly leveraging their audiences. But it would be further step away from their apparently democratic and open origins.
