ryan ( @ryan@the.coolest.zone ) 78•1 year agoYou’re telling me I can meet a potential partner, have video calls with them, get scammed out of money, and tweet about how sad I am, all from the same platform? Sign me up.

jsdz ( @jsdz@lemmy.ml ) 53•1 year agoIt’s a bank! It’s a dating app! It’s a video hosting service, a town square, a shopping mall, a floor wax AND a dessert topping! Why go anywhere else? Just stare at the middle of the big shiny X until it makes sense!
peanuts4life ( @peanuts4life@beehaw.org ) English39•1 year agoI already have an everything app where I can date, do banking, and even use Twitter. It’s called Firefox.
jray4559 ( @jray4559@lemmy.sdf.org ) 29•1 year agoElon Musk running a dating app sounds like the biggest dumpster fire in human history.
You know what, actually, go Elon! I wanna see the trainwreck play out.
Margot Robbie ( @MargotRobbie@lemm.ee ) 26•1 year agoElon Musk’s entire career since his PayPal days has been throwing one horrifyingly bad idea after another to his employees for them to figure out a way to bring into reality, then take credit for all of his employees’ work once they somehow realize these idea in order to shamelessly market himself as a tech genius, a “real life Tony Stark”, to make his employees realize even more bad ideas. Until his management of Twitter exposed him.
Can’t wait to see what kind of trainwreck a dating app designed by a misogynistic thrice-divorced deadbeat manchild would look like.
sunbeam60 ( @sunbeam60@lemmy.one ) 4•1 year agoI loathe the guy but I really think you’re doing him a disservice. It is HARD to scale businesses while maintaining an environment of iteration and preventing things getting moribund. And while I’d never work for him on work-life balance grounds, you can at least not fault him for living the kind of environment he wanted to create, with absolute dedication to the task.
And honestly, how many CEOs do you know who can walk the grounds of his business and tell you exactly what each component does and why? While it may not be his idea, that’s still a lot of knowledge to hold in your head.
SkyeStarfall ( @SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 12•1 year agoElon failed at scaling businesses. He lucked out at the start, and people think he’s a genius due to survivorship bias, but tesla is going down the drain, even if it had an extremely good position in the market. SpaceX is doing alright I suppose, but didn’t achieve many of the ambitious goals Elon said would happen, like the mars stuff, if not cancelled, then very delayed. The boring Company is a failure. Twitter is a failure. Solar roofs were a failure. Neuralink is a failure.
Employees talk about how they constantly have to tip-toe around him, and basically psychologically manipulate him to do the right thing. I think SpaceX just has really good managers that manage not the employees, but Elon himself. Whenever he gets full reign in a company, it falls apart.
interolivary ( @interolivary@beehaw.org ) 9•1 year agoExactly so. The successful companies he’s involved in are largely successful despite him, not because of him
figaro ( @figaro@lemdro.id ) English3•1 year agoI mean the bar is pretty low right now. Tinder/matchgroup basically owns the market. I used the Facebook dating app for a bit and honestly, it ended up being more worthwhile than tinder.
Margot Robbie ( @MargotRobbie@lemm.ee ) 2•1 year agoI think Facebook dating works better because you get a much more complete, natural profile of a person over a long period of time compared to Tinder and friends. Twitter… is not that.

Wait, in the last thread it was a bank
