Stephen Elop is considered a Trojan horse that ruined Nokia enough to be bought by MS. Prior to leading Nokia he worked in Microsoft and post acquisition he was back in Microsoft.

"The Burning Platform" ended up being one of the most amazing corporate psyops of all time. What a legend.
MS of course bought Nokia phone division and promptly ran it straight into the ground, as is usual with MS acquisitions. Today the old Nokia phone division is in the dustbin of history, alongside Windows Phone. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Buying Nokia was Ballmer's idea and Satya was against it (before he was the CEO). When Ballmer left and Satya became CEO, he promptly closed down the phone business and focused on cloud etc.

No it was precisely the same arrogant and entitled tone.
"Can't wait until the acquisition is approved and I'll see your meltdowns".
Pretty much the same bullshit he writes on Twitter.

Why would somebody Photoshop that? That was posted by SoloKingRobert without comment, you're suggesting he suicided a 5 year old account to take down a fellow Xbox shill by making himself look like an astroturfer?

I think he defended his own wallet more than anything, didn't he say he had quite a lot invested in both companies? If he somehow is associated with MS with a purpose to "spread the good word" he pretty much succeeded in doing the opposite IMO.
That's obviously the case with everyone having an inherent, obvious bias anyway. Most members have some sort of preference but you can sorta tell which ones are "normal" forum dwellers with a favourite console/platform and which ones are arguing from some sort of semi-astroturfing perspective. In my experience it's the complete lack of humour that gives them away.

His story about how much he had in ABK stock continually changed iirc.
He also gloated about being given free Gamepass cards and console accessories at Microsoft events, with picture proof.

He once boosted about being an event manager or something like that.
Dude is not normal.

SoloKingRobert is much more subdued on GAF than Florian on twitter. That could simply be a matter of trying to stay low key. Not sure why SoloKingRobert would go to the effort of trying to impersonate Florian. It is possible, I suppose.
But to me, Florian insinuating that Idas is also a shill posting on a forum kind of solidified it for me. Misery loves company and Florian wanted to bring someone down with him.

He is absolutely relentless on Twitter. I almost admire the work. He must have left his job at Burger King to take this new job from Microsoft on a temporary contract.

Aren't contractors on 18 month contracts in Microsoft? I'm sure we will have a quiet 6 months sometime before the shilling recommences

Looking into SoloKingRobert on XBL, his profile said he moved to SoloKingxRobert. That's what his Twitter account was before he nuked it:

His panicking and blaming other people shows that his cover is blown away.

SoloKingxRobert nuking accounts as a result of all this? Sounds like more confirmation to me.

All of those accounts (reddit, XB, etc) say he lived in England. Isn't Florian German?
Edit: I don't care if he was this guy or not. The thing I care about is if someone was perm'd following a witch hunt here and he WASN'T actually Florian. That stinks of the old days before the mental patients fled.

Who would possibly lie about their location when creating accounts with the sole intention of deceiving people

He returned to edit his post to remove the screenshot.
This means he knew what was happening and didn't respond to the accusations.
This is what people do when they get caught.

are you high man?
a witch hunt? can we stop with this absolute bullshit.
he was caught out because he posted his own twitter account and was too thick to crop out his own username.
he then edited the post as soon as it was flagged.
there’s no psy-ops campaign here apart from the people trying to bend reality to protect an iron-clad case of shilling.

That guy never heard of posting a link of a tweet.

Witch hunt, my ass. Either one of two things happened here. 1) It is as it appears and Florian fucked up and posted a screenshot exposing himself as Solo. 2) SoloKingRobert deliberately, falsely impersonated a real person on twitter by photoshopping an image.
Pick one. Either way, the idiot should be banned.

His rant against idas disqualifies number 2.
The guy rose to the sky and forgot that his wings were waxed. As a result, his wings is gone like Icarus.

Well if Florian invented an entire separate persona and spent the time to create two Xbox accounts and then get 300,000+ gamer score on one, it's a pretty insane burner scheme.

Well, not really mate. 99% of people don’t use their real name for online handles and you can change your gamer tag immediately so it’s not like he’s locked in to his alter-ego forever.
I’m not sure what you are suggesting but are you saying all of us haven’t seen correctly with our own eyes?

It makes perfect sense for Florian to want to have alternate accounts not tied to his public real name profile.
