Description

The phenomenon of social media has the power to make and break like nothing else in history. Overnight an individual can go from great success - to a decimated career, via cancellation. One false move and you’re done. Once Twitter hunted Tesla’s Elon Musk as relentlessly as he’s always been prone to troll everyone else in return. But has the hunter finally been quelled by the game? Sometimes his reckless and flippant statements have destroyed fortunes in hours; and being fully aware of the power his words hold, in an almost sociopathic manner he seems to have little care for how this effects others. This seems to carry through to his business practices; seemingly irrational and often cruel decision-making. Attention on his erratic behaviour has been even more focused since he lead the acquisition of Twitter in Oct 2023. On Apr 3, 2023 Musk, now CEO of the platform, dumped the classic blue Twitter bird logo for the Shiba Inu meme which has come to represent cryptocurrency DOGE Coin. Musk is known for his somewhat sarcastic DOGE obsession and has stated that: “Fate loves irony… wouldn't it be funny if the thing that was designed to be a joke currency ended up being the real currency?” Just like a joke meme has now replaced a global icon.
