Mike Masnick ✅Lol. Musk is seeing the exodus, so he's trying to bar the doors as everyone rushes for the exits.
No more linking to other social networks or sharing your username.
Such free speech.

E.G. Phillips@duckswithpants @Popehat @mmasnick no reaction from US. We need to respond to stuff like this with "are you still talking?" energy.
Joseph Simko@tundrafox907 @Popehat @mmasnick
I kinda identify as a Lib and I'm just laughing. 🤣
Katie@tundrafox907 @Popehat @mmasnick I agree. After ejecting journalist's recently, Musk wrote on his timeline, "Twitter is on 🔥🔥🔥." Reminds me of someone else who created chaos and negative news for attention.

@Bamfurlough @Popehat @mmasnick He grew up in South Africa in a wealthy family. His father owned an emerald mine. He came to America for school and flunked out. Stayed illegally. He joined Tesla and pushed out the owners. Took government subsidies to hire the best to develop cars. Same with Starlink. He’s the perfect example of a mediocre white man who failed up
To be fair he actually graduated with two degrees (Econ and Physics) from the University of Pennsylvania and was accepted at Stanford to study for a PhD in Physics, but left after only two days to focus on entrepreneurship.
I'm happy to rip Elon to shreds these days, but at least criticize him accurately.
Beefeater Fella@Bamfurlough @Bethany @Popehat @mmasnick I suggest you read the research posted by Capitol Hunters on twitter on musks illegitimate claims to degrees. Don’t be duped by stories and PR work around his BS claims on qualifications. https://twitter.com/capitolhunters/status/1593307541932474368?s=61&t=2iHyHdv4z_FdowpNh-CcMg

Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/
That thread was interesting. I don't find the degree and immigration stuff particularly compelling though. He was definitely at Penn and I find the American immigration system appalling. If he found a loophole to stay in America, good for him.
I'm more interested in his connection to Thiel, and that being potential motivation to buy Twitter, as well as being friendly with Медведев.
This article gives plenty of detail regarding his time at Penn.

@Bamfurlough @Bethany The concern isn’t about immigration. This issue is a simple matter at law. The act of intentional dishonesty is a leading indicator of risk. You have a right to believe Musk and you are entitled to celebrate this behaviour and ignore his dishonesty, just as Maga supporters are willing to argue that Trump is innocent of dishonesty. It’s my right to call out unconscionable behaviour as a means to an end. Thats democracy for you.
@Bamfurlough @OrcFella You can attend a school and not graduate. It’s ok to admit and accept he’s a mediocre, wealthy white boy who failed up.
He did graduate though. The school issued a diploma and everything. Claiming otherwise makes you look bad. If you're ok with that, carry on I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

rjgnyc@mmasnick I’m now wondering if the “we removed you saying where you posted from” was really a backdoor to prevent any third party API saying you’re posting via another platform (and to go there instead).

permanant record@mmasnick omg not even allowed to provide the username. What a big baby.
@mmasnick well nice while it lasted, everyone I fallow on twitter is scatoring to the wind (a bunch of difrent sites) end of a era.
Katherine ☘️@mmasnick Does he not realise how many "normal users" use and have linktrees?
Dan@cupcakezealot @mmasnick he'll amend it to allow promoting other websites if you're a blue subscriber, to try and blackmail higher sub rates
Will Smith@mmasnick the speed run of the failing 90s message board strategies continues.

Glenn Fleishman@mmasnick Your tweets aren't at Twitter, Mike! They're in Joan's house! And Mr. Postini's house!
@mmasnick serves as a stark reminder that if one is purchasing a social media site, what they are really purchasing is the list of registered users.
Kelley@mmasnick on the bird, I looked at profiles to see where they were going. Not that I had a big account, but this should fall within his new rules. Easy for them to search terms, but they can’t search images as easily, can they? Birds could write their new locations on their headers, couldn’t they?
Em@mmasnick TikTok, Gab, Gettr not banned.
abenomicon@mmasnick the 'paid promotion is okay' loophole in the new policy is interesting because it means they can't plausibly say this is a safety issue -- it's purely anticompetitive
Blackout The Conspiracy@mmasnick we all need to give out a collective booing on bird site 🤣
