I wonder if that Microsoft thing specifically mention "On-line chat room..." and "On-line electronic bulletin boards..." narrows the scope enough to go after Elon.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] he's actually been obsessed with X since...1999! He made X.com which eventually merged with Confinity Inc to form Paypal. Although it wasn't Musk that switched it to Paypal - in September 2000, when Musk was in Australia for a honeymoon trip, the X.com board voted for a change of CEO from Musk to Peter Thiel, the co-founder of Confinity. In June 2001, X.com was renamed PayPal. but yeah he doesn't actually create anything (he buys it) and is obsessed with the same few things for his entire career --- girls like my fa ...

Zareth posted... Twitter in Japan can't change its name to X Japan because a Jrock band has it copywrittenYou wouldn't be able to copyright "X" anywhere, as that's far too short and generic to be considered a copyrightable creative work. Keep in mind that copyright is for things like stories, songs, art, videos, blocks of text, etc.; you can't copyright a title or a name of something. You can trademark something like that as a brand or company name, but that's different than copyright. It also only applies to whatever medium and industry you purchase the trademark for. For a generic, non-unique name like "X", the fact that there's a rock band in Japan named "X" would not stop a company in a completely different industry (for instance, a restaurant or a bank or, yes, a social media site) from branding themselves "X". I'm more interested in the various posts claiming that Meta holds the trademark on "X" related to social media, as that would be something that Twitter seems to be directly infringing on. Yellow posted... At this point they're just letting him do whatever he wants.More that Twitter doesn't seem to have developed a method of keeping him in check. I read something from someone who claimed to be a former Tesla employee who talked about how Musk had to be managed as the company grew. They talked about how there was an entire layer of management whose entire job, day in and day out, was to keep Musk from doing something stupid and how entire systems of the company were designed to manipulate and deceive him into doing things that were actually beneficial instead of harmful to the company. I have no idea if any of it was true, but it was certainly believable given how badly he's bungled Twitter. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.

It's not uncommon for CEOs/upper management to have visions not based in reality; it's just that, as you wrote, there's normally a level of management whose job is to keep them in check.
