How will he be forced to step down?

He literally owns the company . The company is now a private company after elon delisted it from the stock exchange

Elon bought Twitter because of the power of the platform to change culture, to manipulate people and to control narratives

That he owns it doesn't mean he has to run it. Hire a CEO and an exec team and stop messing things up with unguarded tweets and statements.

Aemmyjah:
Atheists don't believe in God
They call Bible a book of myth
They don't believe in anything deity and they reject all religious books

So you are secretly reading the books to learn how to live to have peace? You actually believe that those books contain wisdom to give you peace? You are a betrayal to atheists. Lordreed and Maymann will come and disown you now

I have studied and read why the evil religious leaders tried all they can to prevent to common mam from owning a Bible. Why do you ask me such easy question? I'm not a churchgoer, I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

'The new testament was a forgery by Roman empire' yet they killed and persecuted and imprisoned its writers and the Christians calling them ignorant and hunting them like flies and banned the books telling all who owned it to burn it or be burned.
I'm really tired of chatting with you abeg. Go and be listening to the songs of atheists but when you're tired, go n read the book of myth and learn how to live and have peace

I don't think sonmvayina has ever declared himself to be an atheist. You should ask him his preferred label before you jump to conclusions.

Aemmyjah:
You are a perfect twisted of scriptures
The Israelites were to take the region of the Canaanites which comprises 7 nations. Have you not studied history to read that Jericho was also a Canaanite city?
Amalek is not a Canaanite city but they launched an unprovoked attack on God's people and they were to pay for it
Pls attach your sense to your head when typing and gather facts

LoLz. I think you are lost. Go back and look at the question I asked you and then my 1st response to Dtruthspeaker on here.

elated177:
Every day. I worship my Creator every day.

Really? What happened to thou shalt keep the sabbath day holy?

Nosayer:
At all.....Elon Musk knows nothing about business. Just woke up one day and became world's richest!

You must be joking. You think people just wake up and are the richest people in the world? Haba take it easy with the hyperbole.

budaatum:
He's complaining he's losing more already!

He needs to hire a CEO and step back. He said nothing changed but it has been noted that N-word usage went up 500%. That is a big failure of moderation.

Chai! Human beings can be greedy sha!

It is connected. Without his hope and faith, the experience may not even come.

I guess you could say that.

It is hinged.

What does that mean?

Maaverick:
In developed countries, Good system of government, social amenities, low unemployment rate, good minimum wage/earnings yet most people have 1, 2, 3 children while few have 5+... Or some want no children.

Why do people in African e.g in Nigeria with very bad system of government, no social amenities, high unemployment rate, low pay rate yet people have or give birth to more number of children Or any number yet go ahead to complain how difficult it is to take care of them? Like they don't know it requires money to do things in life

Can't comfortably pay the school fees of the 2 children you have yet adding more children So that you can have 3 or 4 children that you can't pay school fees for?

Your salary is 250k, you finish some of the months with borrowing yet adding more children hence lability

The current living condition your salary is giving, you are finding it difficult to push through yet adding more children Hence making life more difficult or what could be the motive?

A single guy/girl finding it difficult to survive on his/her 100k salary but would go ahead and marry, pour children

Is it a crime to have no children or the number of children your salary can afford?

In my opinion, here we don't value children, human life and the basic wellbeing of the children we give birth to. Hence you see people even in their state of abject poverty adding more children or those that are doing a little better adding more children just to fulfill their desire of having X number of children even when the ones they already have is difficult to maintain.

Another reason is that people don't think or reason for themselves. They just follow the societal norms like zombies and do what everyone is doing.

These things always makes me wonder.

It baffles me too. I see people who I earn 6x their salary having 2x the number of children I have and I shake my head in perplexity. How do they cope, I wonder.

HITsquad:
Trump and Republicans is what the world need right now...

The woke, war mongering democrats are just bunch of knot jobs disaster! They claim to stand for democracy... Whats democratic about shoving all sorts of immoral ideology down everyone's throat? Forcing your agenda on me is not "democracy"

But it's OK if they force moral ideology right?

MaxInDHouse:
Answer this man above who is asking how close (near) could 2000 years be?

Let's wait for season 2, it's coming soon. LoLz!

KnownUnknown:
Don’t you know Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were written by dog? Excuse me, god. Sorry, God.

Everything else is “doctrines of men”. The new covenant agreement pact accord Jesus makes it clear below.

John 3:7-8
You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

Me, I like the doctrines of men. They produce food and technology, all the things that make me happy. LoLz!

MaxInDHouse:
Why waiting for what they said is NEAR since 2000 years ago as if they're not FALSE PROPHETS?

So close! Will he come to self awareness of his own statement? Find out in season 2. LoLz.

Image123:
Depends, life is not an exact science. Your apprentice friend might be about giving up but just carrying on in hope and faith.

That is different. The experience he gains from the master is not hope and faith.

MFGCooperative:
Whatever your confidence is based on is your source of faith because each time you step out to do those things, there's no guarantee that your experiences would always be the same.

Exactly, if I believed then I would be assuming it was guaranteed it will always happen.

You didn't answer my question, do you think belief is a bad thing?

MFGCooperative:
You don't get it. You're not an astronaut, and you've never been to space. What confidence made you use the collective pronoun 'we' in your statement?

We refers to our collective humanity. Even though great achievements are made by individuals it is attributed to humanity when speaking in general terms.

MFGCooperative:
The experience of an apprentice is based on practice that tends towards perfection, producing self confidence. However, events and outcomes are not in the same brackets with apprenticeship. There's no such self confidence There's always a solid expectation based on faith.

They are, that is exactly what they do, produce enough confidence for you to repeat those actions. If every time I stepped out of my house an accident happens I would not have the confidence that the next time would be different. In any of the cases you state those favourable outcomes have given me the confidence to repeat them, has nothing to do with belief.

Besides I am not sure why you are struggling so hard to equate everything with belief. Do you think that belief is bad?

MFGCooperative:
You never made such insinuations. By your statement, you were there in person through spacecrafts. Spacecrafts aren't proxies.

LoLz! Yeah I a Nigerian with no astronautics training flew a spacecraft to planets no human being has stepped foot on. Bwahahahahaha! If that is how you want to interpret my statement then I can't help you, sorry. LMAO!

MFGCooperative:
Past experiences are never reliable for use as evidences. Each time you had your own expectations fulfilled, someone else got his own expectations disappointed. You'll hear it in the news, yet, you'll still eat your food without testing for poison, send your kids to school the following morning, and even at the scene of a fatal accident, you'll still enter the next vehicle to get home. That's faith.

Experiences only produce hope. But, you more than merely hoping when you do the things you do. You're living by faith.

Exactly, which is why I do not believe that the outcomes will be favourable because I know the conditions may change.

Experience produces a concrete basis on which to direct future actions. The mechanic apprentice gaining experience is not working based on hope nor is he working by faith.

MFGCooperative:
You explicitly stated that "We've visited other planets through spacecrafts."

Great. So you can't ask me to prove I have been to those places when I specifically state that the exploration was done through proxies.

MFGCooperative:
You already believe in many things without evidence. Many things.

1. You enter a cab believing you'll get home. You even make a call to your wife to tell her what food you'll eat on arrival. What evidence do you have that you'll get home? You just believe!

2. What evidence do you have that the food you ate yesternight was not poisoned? You ate it by faith. You just believe!

3. What evidence do you have that you'll wake up to another morning after sleeping yesternight? You've even planned your schedules for the following day. What evidence have you? You're living by faith!

4. What evidence do you have that Nairaland would still be up and running after creating this thread? No evidence. You created the thread by faith!

5. What evidence do you have that your kids would return home safely in the afternoon from school? You have no evidence. Every morning, you send them to school by faith.

You have no evidence for the many things you do. You just believe. You live in a faith world. And that's the first step you take to explore other worlds.

I don't believe any of these things. I have a reasonable expectation that any of these things will turn out favourable because the better part of my experience has been favourable. So yes I have evidence, no need for believing.

MFGCooperative:
You used the word 'we' in claiming the exploration of the planets. That's a claim. I want evidence.

Via what means did I state we did this exploration?

MFGCooperative:
How many of you have visited the planets and the moon? Let me see the proof that you've been to those places.

Was it my claim that I have been to those planets?

MFGCooperative:
Man, let's assume you're arguing with a blind man, how would you prove to him that the moon exists?

Not interested in this rigamarole. Either you can provide the definitions and proof or you can't.

MFGCooperative:
Your line is thought is still subject to more scrutiny.

We can generally assume that dreams have no spiritual connections but for the fact that some dreams come to pass, we need to have a review of that assumption.

Most dreams have interpretations. If the meaning of a dream isn't known you wouldn't be aware of what came to pass.

The difference between Atheists and Theists is that, one set is not seeing anything spiritual at all. This happens to people who gave their time to religion that carries no substance.

There's nothing in religion. Anybody practicing any form of religion can become an atheist some day.

But, the second set of people are those who have consciously and deliberately explored the spirit realm. Having had spiritual experiences themselves, there's no way such persons can ever become an atheist.

It's like the case of a blind man who says there's nothing called 'moon' simply because he neither sees it nor feels it. But, the man with sight would shake his head in pity for the blind man due to his sheer ignorance.

That's how it feels when people who have explored the spiritual realm and are still exploring it hear atheists talk. You know how it feels when you claim you are a house owner, and someone is challenging you that you're lying. It's better in the days of mobile phones. When there were no phones, how would such a person prove that he has a house in some far away lands? You know how the house owner would feel. That's how I feel about you right now. I just keep wondering why on earth some set of people can deny obvious realities. Of course, it's not obvious to you. But it's so obvious to me and I keep wondering why you cannot see what I'm seeing.

What is spirit and spirit realm? Can you show me any proof of what you have explored?

Dtruthspeaker:
See twisting serpent. Where you not the one who asked about Jericho after I had showed answered your question that Isreal was attacked first?

You have no thing! No Road!

LoLz. I asked about tribes, Amalekites are just 1 tribe. Jericho was another, there are others. So you explained 1 tribe and can't explain the ones that didn't attack so you resort to your usual childish tactics. Bwahahahahaha.

GreatVocalist:
You're right, being the richest man doesn't make one always right.

About the blue tick, what is its significance? I'm not a regular Twitter user, so please don't mind me asking. I know it's a tick for those with some reputable social status, but could there be a reason to warrant adding a monetary charge for it? If users leverage on the popularity the blue tick attracts, to promote a financial venture or activity for their benefits, then I don't see why charging a fee to get a blue tick is a bad idea. It's the same way paid ads work.

Since the lay off included people from all over the world, then it signals a rebuild-from-scratch process -- a complete overhaul. Like I said, he's a renowned business man. That's enough to show that he's been at the helm of affairs for quite some time. Let's be rest assured that Twitter will take an almost completely new shape in a few months' time.

When a successful man takes a drastic action, then there's great thinking behind the scene. So yes, this was well thought-out.

The blue check mark was for accounts that were verified as been held by the original owners of the account. It gave tweets from such acounts authenticity. So basically now anybody can have that check mark making it meaningless. Also now that anyabody can get it how many people do you think would actually want to pay every month for it?

You don't rebuild a company as big as Twitter from the scratch which is why Dorsey went to start a different company. You already have a certain momentum and expectation built up. Unless you are changing the entire product it just doesn't make sense.

We'll see how this all plays out. Musk buying Twitter at an overrated price and additional debt is not a good start imo. I give him a year, he'll be looking for someone to offload it on.

Kobojunkie:
Look who's talking!

Yep. I don't pretend what I say wasn't written by men.

GreatVocalist:
I don't know where he's getting the replacements from but as a renowned businessman, I don't suppose he made such a drastic decision without first having a well thought-out strategy put in place. He's up there on the list of world's richest persons for a reason, you know? Lol. Let's see how it pans out in the next few weeks.

Charging 8$ a month for blue check mark is not a sign of a well thought out plan. Firing people who have a contract suddenly is not sign of a well thought out plan. Do you realise that the people he fired were from all over the world? How many days has he been at the helm enough to know what kind of replacements he would need and set up a process for replacement.

Yeah we'll see. Being the richest doesn't make you always right or capable. Twitter's debt repayment profile rose to $1billion per year, we'll see how well he handles that.

MFGCooperative:
In those links you posted above, there's nothing that shows that people keep thinking while they sleep.

Brain activities must definitely continue during sleep. 'Thinking' is not the only activity of the brain. Yeah, the EEG shows people can have imagery during deep sleep which could be counted as dreams.

There are people whose dreams predict future events. Their dreams accurately come to pass. How do you explain this phenomenon?

The fact that some dreams do come to pass in real life is suggestive of the fact that dreams are more than mere brain activities.

Science has really tried but science isn't perfect. There are some so called findings today that would be debunked, redefined and revised tomorrow just as many scientific findings of yesterday are being revised today.

Absolutely relying on science's fallible findings is not the right way to live.

And again, if the brain can have such complex functions as to be able to send brain waves during sleep, do you then really think that such a powerful tool was created by accident?

Don't confuse yourself , I didn't say a sleeping person was actively thinking I said the brain is still processing thoughts. Thoughts are constantly in your mind whether you are actively thinking them or not. That is the most likely origin of dreams.

And what of the dreams that don't come to pass? You are indulging in confirmation bias, ignoring the data that doesn't fit into your narrative. Every sort of prediction always has a chance to come to pass. You are like someone saying Octopus Paul is a spirit because it could predict football outcomes or that throwing dice is spiritual becomes some of the outcomes favour you. If you use that type of method then you can use it it to prove anything.

Where did I say the brain was created by accident?

Kobojunkie:
This is how religion lures you in by appealing to the obnoxious side of you.

Wake up! Open your eyes.. you were not questioning God but questioning the acts of men. What has that to do with God? When did God ever tell you to put your trust in other men that you would assume your life depends on them.

Says the guy who believes in books written by men. I guess you can't see you doing the exact thing you accuse others of.
