HappyToastThe other place seems to be pretty chaotic this morning, did I miss a big closure announcement?
Scott Kirvan⚜️ FAM 🎥🌕👩🚀
Snatch Numan@cptvideo @IamHappyToast This is a magnificent shitshow.
PokeParadox@IamHappyToast I feel like I've missed something too...
LukeB_MTB@IamHappyToast staff exodus means it's vulnerable to tech mishap crashing the whole thing. People are nervous.
floweroflondon@IamHappyToast Think this has something to do with it
Johanna Saunders@IamHappyToast He locked everyone out of their offices, closed them for “a week”, went on a firing spree, got locked out himself, lol’d at some memes, ranted twaddle and everyone he fired says it’ll break within the week.
Totally normal morning.

MrsB #FBPE #GTTO 🇪🇺💙@IamHappyToast I hear a petulant billionaire is having a massive toddler tantrum.
Joe Scaramanga@IamHappyToast Blofeld is worried about employee sabotage apparently. Prick has alienated his entire workforce.
Hamish Williams@IamHappyToast I wonder if Ladbrokes will take a cheeky tenner on that site crashing over the weekend.
regphennaThere seems to be chatter about the world cup overloading the site without the staff needed.
ashen@IamHappyToast he's locked them out! All going well it seems!
iannlouRuss Jones (RussInCheshire) has done an excellent thread summing it up https://twitter.com/russincheshire/status/1593500400883212289?s=61&t=1udjRWArxdSP-emIkCVYxg

“A little #24hoursInMusk thread 1. The space-Karen demanded his remaining workers - all of whom are in great demand with other employers - sign a mandatory "go hardcore" oath to work long intense hours for no new money, or be sacked 2. General response: ummmm nope”
Andy@IamHappyToast When I went to bed at about 1am and had one last scroll through my timeline, everyone was saying goodbye. I genuinely thought I would wake up this morning and it would be gone.
Martin aka Ad Taylor@IamHappyToast his deadline for the employees to submit themselves body, mind, and soul to the Twitter2.0 mines came and went last night.
Fwict, about a third of the remaining workforce he hadn't already fired, got up & left, including a lot in key positions

cDave@IamHappyToast @colonelirrelevant It's 24hrs since the "Say you're willing to sleep at the office or I fire you in 24 hours" email. Lots of the remaining people saying they didn't.
PeteCardyI'm waiting for the big closing down sale. Gonna grab a blue tick for $4.

Norman Kebell@IamHappyToast I don't visit any more
Laurie@Tormid @IamHappyToast Space Karen is having a meltdown.
ShropshireMatt@IamHappyToast I cannot understand how a "entrepreneur" can spend so much money on buying Twitter and immediately go about completely effing it up.
Mary@ShropshireMatt @IamHappyToast what else was he going to buy with it? I think the point is the whole "I'm important and I can shit all over everyone if I want to." It's the Bullingdon Club thing of smashing up a restaurant and burning £50 notes, but bigger.
@MaryH @IamHappyToast its a bit sad as with that money he should have been philanthropic providing school, training or welfare to a huge range of people across the world.
@MaryH @ShropshireMatt @IamHappyToast I thought it was a leveraged buyout, ie Twitter took on the debt.
To be honest I wasn’t really paying attention. Does anyone here have more information on that purchase?
@IamHappyToast Twitter headquarters in San Francisco last night.
Space Karen has got to be the best ever name for Elon Musk.

KeithSNewman@IamHappyToast hasn't Elon been posting twitter funeral scenes and other such cries for attention?
It'll probably be fine.
My guess is he'll lose interest in a few weeks and sell up at a massive loss having hugely damaged the other places reputation and infrastructure.
Nick Worrall 🎸@IamHappyToast I think everyone who works there is quitting so it'll stop working. Or something like that.
Nezza@IamHappyToast As sad as the situation is. The ‘find out’ stage is compelling viewing and something to behold.
LadyKat14@IamHappyToast still waiting 😬
Lou@IamHappyToast Oh thank god you're here!! ❤️
