The Night of the Elong Knives

I do wonder if the booing and whatever really happened with that guy last night breached his protective bubble and is making him really really paranoid right now

it def made him really thirsty to lash out at his perceived enemies in the same ways he decries as violating the first amendment when it happens to nazis

guess u just need the right excuse

Thursday Night Purge: Elon Musk’s Twitter Bans Tons Of High Profile Journalists

Well. Just after finishing that last post about Twitter banning the official Mastodon account on Twitter for tweeting about the ElonJet tracking account existing on Mastodon, it seems that whatever…

Techdirt
Bitch baby

For the "sin" of either reporting on elonjet or the fact that no police report had been filed after Elon was whining about his kid supposedly being stalked (b/c of elonjet) he’s axed a half-dozen journalists in the past hour, as well as several people who had only retweeted stuff those journos said.

Yes, Elon's even more of a bitchmade crybaby than even Trump himself. Many people are saying it!

Can Elon ban journalists faster than the journalists can report on other journalists being banned??

Lmao that Trump released his new pokemon cards but everyone is talking about Leon's meltdown
QAnon, adrift after Trump’s defeat, finds new life in Elon Musk’s Twitter

Musk has become so popular in QAnon circles that some regard him, not Trump, as the savior-like figure they’ve been waiting for.

The Washington Post
none of the reporters were sharing "live location information" though, they were talking, like, thirdhand about someone who might have been sharing it days earlier
Ryan "Punished" Mac
Remember that whole thing where Elon said Twitter was 90% bots that would attack proud American patriot conservatives and updoot the perfidious radical left woke democrat antifa?
he's pleased as punch and taking a victory lap
and another one gone and another one gone

Does he think anybody is claiming Elon is doing something illegal? he doesn't seriously think that does he?

I hope glenwald catches one of Bolsanaro's many diseases.

His eyes were like little caves in that last photo, I imagine he is going sleepless and partying quite a bit.

"papa what's the iceberg like"

"it is very big, we call it The Snow, i will not make it"

"but why papa?"

"mice do not live for very long. promise me you will take many pictures when you get there, and set them on my tombstone"

"i will papa"

yeah he's basically putting every federated Mastodon instance on the this-site-may-harm-your-computer list now
This was indeed a curse placed upon them
GOTEM
There will not be a good explanation
Reconsidering our School's Engagement with Twitter

"My exact location" says the guy who bragged about living in the twitter offices for 2 months or whatever.

Apparently, CNN, TechCrunch, the NYT, WaPo, Bloomberg, some 20-year old kid, Keith Olberman, and NBC News were all trying assassinate Elon Musk.

It ain't gettin better for musky
Imagine being one of the richest people in the world and being a reply guy to Ian Miles Cheong of all fucking people
The Internet Makes You Stupid

"Freeze Peach" was made for this

Who am I to disagree

Twitter's fine. Everything's fine.

Nothing to see here.

this is what happens when you put it in the newspapers that elon is mad

this is musk’s reichstag flyer moment

boer hall putsch
What part of the Lowtax speedrun is this? Closing FYAD?
"without addressing the question you're actually asking, fuck you"
he's not the most evil boy in tech, but paul graham is truly the dumbest boy in tech

"i'm not mad. i'm laughing"

This is all somewhat annoying but the underlying truth that nothing is going well for Elon kinda makes up for it.

coding is hard

adding an extra slash apparently works too

Hard Drive EiC swinging for the fences:
This is the best one yet

the real risk for twitter here is that pretty much the thing that made anyone give a shit about twitter was the journalists and the celebrities, and if he loses the journalists he loses a ton of twitter's agenda-related soft power, which was already in question.

i guess he'd still have ye, though...

whoops

lmao at joining a twitter space

lol its broken

must have been one of those microservices

it started going negative lmao

Jason Calcanis is a shitty C tier venture capital guy who has been Elon's faithful toady for years

let this post be your guide to the general morals and mindset of jason calacanis: paid internships are good, but only if the intern is paying

just to cover the last few days, after being booed so hard he spent all night creating fake stories to disprove live recordings of the booing, elon has reached the point where he is claiming to be the subject of gang stalking and assassins. what research chemicals do we think gave him paranoid schizophrenia?
Remember when Disney was looking into buying the site and backed out immediately because they realized they were just going to inherit nothing but toxic shitposters who'd make the company public enemy #1?
Jason Calcanis was in Epstein's Little Black Book
He's such a fucking loser too
How hard is it to tell Jason to go fuck himself lol. These people are journalists, be better at interrupting some dweeb and tell him off.
he joined the twitter space, accused the journalists of ban evading, and ragequit when they called him out. lmao

lmao he killed the space with 16,000 people in it at the time

anyways here is elon's entire appearance in the space. get it while it lasts:

lol at the 2nd richest guy on earth spending 44billion dollars so he could get cyberbullied.

So he disabled spaces because that guy got around his ban using it right and not because he was completely and utterly embarrassed?

Some real Streamer/Discord Mod Meltdown energy in Elon today

I heard this was in response to someone asking him how blocking links to Mastodon wasn't akin to Twitter's earlier cardinal sin of blocking hunter biden stuff.
you know, say what you will about radium, but i cant remember a time where he fucked up so bad that banned users could still post
@cspam or there is some clever quiet dissent going on

@cspam I was trying too hard to be clever that I didn't try the obvious stuff huh?

There's a lesson to be learned here. But I don't know what it is
