Just how big of a narcissist is this nitwit? “After Musk threatened to fire his remaining engineers, they built a system designed to ensure that Musk — and Musk alone — benefits from previously unheard-of promotion of his tweets to the entire user base.”

Elon Musk created a special system for showing you all his tweets first

After his Super Bowl tweet did worse numbers than President Biden’s, Twitter’s CEO ordered major changes to the algorithm. Twitter engineers built a system designed to ensure that Musk benefits from previously unheard-of promotion of his tweets to the entire user base.

I just can't look away from the #twittertrainwreck . There is some schadenfreude with watching a billionaire "genius" flail around and start to fail miserably. It looks like maybe he's not such a genius afterall but just lucky. One things is for sure #elonmusk doesn't treat others with kindness and is a nightmare to work for.

I still can NOT believe he sent a Google Form demanding employees agree to work tons of free time for him or be fired by EOB. 🤬

I don't understand why the New Guy™ doesn't just set up a hasty, crappy Patreon with an $8/month tier--he'd likely have just as much success, and take 95% less shit... #TwitterTrainWreck

You can NOT make this up. So #TwitterBlue only has 100K subscribers and Musk thinks the way to raise revenue is to... paywall Twitter. Yet all these tech bros keep saying he's a genius. He's running the company like a teenager. #Twitter #TwitterTrainWreck
