Judd LegumBREAKING: @[email protected] admits that his policy banning links to accounts on competing social networks (and links to aggregators of such content) is unreasonable
Unclear if that means the policy will change
@[email protected] Notably, this response came in reply to an account promoting a right-wing news site.
Opinions from the right are the only ones he values.
Kansas Grant@juddlegum Yes, but what will the policy be the NEXT time Elmo's mood changes? ;-)
Mrs. H #MaskUp@juddlegum Elon creates rules like Putin makes quick Laws to cover his ass.
author_is_ShrikeTron🔠💉x5@voter1vote @juddlegum It's been called Calvinball.
The rules are there's no set rules except the ones made on the way.
Geeden_Of_Arden@juddlegum fyi he just posted a poll asking if he should step down
Joe Hill 🇵🇸🇺🇦@Bon_Jardin @juddlegum
I’ll bet that’s what his investor buddies told him today at the World Cup Final. He seems to have a “Look, a squirrel” management style, kinda like #MAGALardo

@Joe_Hill @juddlegum Right! He's too confused to see the outcome will not be desirable for him either way. Is this nature's way of teaching a billionaire with no sense what all the non-billionaires with no sense learn by ignoring standards of cooperative behavior? Like traffic laws, say. Or health advice.

@juddlegum this time with captioning.
Mastodon will OCR text-posts for you but you have to hit the button to make it go
Hammancheez@juddlegum Brave Brave Sir Elon Bravely ran away *coconut noises*
Rumpole@juddlegum He throws tantrums, everyone runs to make it policy, he gets blowback, then he reels it in.
If only there were people inside the company who could warn him of likely blowback.🤔

@juddlegum Translation: I have absolutely no clue what I am doing
RobinSMessingElon Musk has just put up a poll on whether he should step down as head of Twitter.
He also he said he would poll the Twitter audience before making any more major policy changes.
How many people believe this poll is legitimate? Can't Musk rig it to get the answer he wants?
Nerdicity@juddlegum I don't like chaos, I'm out E
Kshanti@juddlegum geez he is neurotic.
The Wrath of France@juddlegum That Musk Character is a Trump wannabe. Forget Twitter
Jolyn@juddlegum At this point I’m beginning to wonder if he’s even real or if it’s just a parody account run by a 9 year old. 🙄 He’s such a child.
Sava@juddlegum so what I’m hearing is Elon doesn’t know what spam is.
Gerardo Torres@juddlegum making policy on the fly…
WrathofJan 🌞🌻🌎🖖@juddlegum OMG - this guy - EM - is clueless.
Stan Diego@juddlegum unstable attention hog Musk is making it up as he goes along 😕
For I am CJ 
TrueBloodNet@juddlegum I just can't GAF. I'm sure it's because someone told him he broke the law. I hope they fine him anyway.
Ron DeSantis's BDE@juddlegum
Can this legitimately be called "policy."
It looks like note taking on the CEO's capriciousness.
SmudgiesMom@juddlegum 🤣🤣🤣 he is so pathetic!
Egalitarian@juddlegum it seems like we can totally trust Elon on this (lol), for a couple of seconds until he has the next brainfart.
ForceGhost@juddlegum he needs to beep when he's backing up. Or when the EU reminds him that their laws won't let him do the crap that comes to him in his opium dreams.
EnronMusk@juddlegum Jesus christ
Kevin Whalen 
@juddlegum What a total display of incompetence. The idea that there is this overwhelming number of accounts whose sole purpose is to promote outside social networks is laughable.
My Blue Check is MIA@juddlegum He doesn't know it is not spam. Ugh, if he would Google "spam" ....
@juddlegum I've said before, I can see where he could not want people to push other "products" that are competitive with his. But what he cannot see is that HE is the reason people are headed to the gates. And, on an hour-by-hour basis, he is giving folks even more reason to leave in anger and then push the other products.
For a smart guy, he is kinda dumb.

Was this before or after he said policy changes would get a vote?

Chuck (Andrew) Sweet@juddlegum I maintain this was the plan.
1. Stake extreme position.
2. Predictable outrage.
3. Fall back to a less extreme position.
What would we have done if the opening salvo was to ban these marketing accounts straightaway? Worth thinking about.
JL Roberson.@juddlegum Please explain to me why every reasonable, sane person should not just walk out of Twitter, the only place apart from his factories you have to CARE what rules Musky wants you to follow.
The town square is where everyone is. Everyone should leave Twitter, it should cease to be said town square. This is ridiculous, no one should just let him assert this kind of power. Leave Elon to his Livejournal. IT'S JUST ONE SITE.

flexghost.@juddlegum love that free market. Oh. Wait.
@juddlegum small question, how can you tell something is primary?
Helchose@juddlegum Most owners of acquired businesses would take some time to learn how the business works before pulling out vital organs and then having his customers school him on how to run the business after the fact. But not this guy.
Statmonkey 🙊@juddlegum UPDATE: Fascists make up rules as they go along.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds.
Sven A. Schmidt@juddlegum What does one have to do to get banned around here. Do I need to become a journalist?!
KitsyWhere's Hobbes? What has he got to say about these Calvin Rules!
@juddlegum everyone should just leave already.
MGAKemp@juddlegum I think it is time to leave Twitter. I just deactivated my account.
Tom Bellin 
@juddlegum The theory that he bought twitter because these edge lords are desperate for a right-wing social media platform with legitimacy. Literally $44bn to recreate parler but also reporters from the NYT and WaPo.
Some Guy 🇺🇲🇺🇦@tob @juddlegum Chuds don't like it when they don't have victims to bully and harass. That's why Gab, Parler, Gettr, Truth, etc. are not very popular with them. If all the non-nazis would figure that out and leave Twitter it could finally die the death it's deserved since Elon bought it.
Aseko@juddlegum
Not surprising for @QElonMusk

Dubiago 💫@juddlegum Or is the Left as skewed to the extreme as the Right that the Middle no longer looks like the Middle to those on the ends? Seems, to me, to be a rather large fundamental shift that has occurred since COVID.
Space Karen@juddlegum Dude spent $44 billion dollars to "oWn dA liBS"
Peter Principle@juddlegum Or just changes for his Nazi fan bois.
Julesy@juddlegum the policy that won't change is running the whole site by lettres de cachet
@juddlegum Doesn’t matter what the man baby does. I’m not supporting anyone that cozies up to the Saudis. The right is worried about the Rothschilds; they might should start worrying about the Saudis.
Karin Nelson 
@juddlegum he’s like a toddler. Acting without considering the effects first.
ExistentialBunny@juddlegum who wants to be an abused spouse over at the bird?
AngryCupboard@juddlegum I guess expecting due diligence on implementing huge changes is unreasonable. He did leverage his net worth to buy a company that is not capable of being profitable for 44 billion because he ignored the need of due diligence.
FranannigansD@juddlegum It's almost like he hasn't got a flecking clue what he's doing!
Eat My Wings To Keep Me Tame@juddlegum love how he has to be told that by a literal nazi to understand
Stefan@juddlegum he probably means that one person is okay. He is a little dictator who wants to ban any account he does not personally like.
@juddlegum so Elonator seems to be flying by the seat of his pants.
Kimberly Marie@juddlegum logging on to twitter makes my blood pressure go up. Its nothing but right wingers and elon SIMPs.
Fuzzy Soft@juddlegum I would totally cut the guy a break on being new to the game if he wasn't an alt-right assh*le looking to dismantle democracy through his social app.
