NEW: Elon Musk sent a Signal message ordering his staff to aid in the Twitter Files: "please give Bari [Weiss] full access to everything at Twitter. No limits at all.”

That triggered a frenzy inside Twitter, which was under a decade-old FTC order. IT staff refused to onboard Weiss, worried Twitter would be breaking the law.

Days later, two executives were fired.

"These guys did amazing damage,” a former employee told me of the Musk subordinates running the company.

Inside Twitter, Musk occupies a 10th-floor conference room with a staging area. There, guests wait for the Twitter CEO — sometimes for more than an hour — before being called in.

Meeting guests are instructed not to speak until Musk does.

@politicalpunk @faizsays Wealth hoarding, like any hoarding, is a mental illness and yet capitalism rewards and celebrates it.

@angiebaby @politicalpunk @faizsays Wealth hoarding is but a small part of the problem. We, as a society, need to stop worshiping idols.

@hu_logic @angiebaby @faizsays Exactly. I only admire never worship, and even that can be fraught with downsides.
