Musk May Have Found a Hardcore Leader for Twitter
Like many new dads, The Boring Company CEO Steve Davis spent the first few weeks of fatherhood sleeping near his partner and newborn. Unlike other new fathers, Davis and his family were sleeping in an office—a makeshift bedroom at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, where Davis has spent the ...
he recognized that the tool in question was getting in way of his goal of maximizing trans kid suicides
Exclusive: Twitter removes suicide prevention feature, says it's under revamp
Twitter Inc removed a feature in the past few days that promoted suicide prevention hotlines and other safety resources to users looking up certain content, according to two people familiar with the matter who said it was ordered by new owner Elon Musk.
looks like privacy and data protection laws are just a few of the ones musk doesn't think will be enforced meaningfully

Yes, that screen cap is real. Totally normal CEO thing to talk about unplugging random servers at 4am on Xmas Eve morning, on a Saturday.
lol he's literally muntzing a giant multinational machine
if there was any question as to whether Musk was kicked out of PayPal for wanting to move everything to Windows, let this be effective confirmation. He was never good at any of this, he just had some good PR for a bit.
lol he spent the whole holiday being bitter and vindictive about his ex and also his kid that hates him
a christmas carol but visited by jeff epstein, somebody who burned to death in a model 3, and lowtax
This is how we know that twitter is still in the fast lane to bankruptcy
"twitter is fine, even when i unplug shit it just works"
It just hit me that he really turned around mid-fight to go to Sacramento to personally shut down one of Twitter's three remaining data centers on fucking Christmas Eve, and I burst out laughing.
I feel bad for the H1bs left to deal with the fallout though.
Apparently, Sacramento and Atlanta are supposed to be about 1 to 1 in function, designed for consensus and mirroring, with Portland being roughly half capable of that. So theoretically, you can hard shut off Sacramento and it all fails over to ATL and PDX seamlessly, but the "Looney Tunes character sawing off the tree branch they're standing on"-analogy is very accurate at this point
lol this is what happens if you select text in a tweet on android twitter
great job guys
if you're a repressive regime it’s easier and faster to just buy access to Twitter’s internal tools

So someone made a grafana dashboard with various Twitter metrics, first amongst them latency measurements of Sacramento and Atlanta, and guess what happened right around Elon's "Twitter is Rube Goldberg, doesn't break when unplugging essential things" tweets:
"The men in Musk’s phone also appear wildly confident in their own abilities and those of their peers. Mathias Döpfner, the CEO of the media conglomerate Axel Springer, infamously texted Musk his bullet-pointed plan for Twitter, which began with the line item “1.),, Solve Free Speech.”"
People dunked on him so hard for overusing the crying-laughing emoji that he's swapped it out for "haha" and "hehehe"
They're literally in the middle of shuttering the substack-clone newsletter service they acquired and integrated pre-Musk
musk in science understander buzzword mode spreading conspiracy theories over the holidays
twitter fucking loves science! bazinga!
lmao he doesn’t know what science is
much like fsd he has no self-awareness so he can't see the irony there, of course
the divorced losers are congregating
we're going to get some sort of divorce singularity, causing never before seen cope levels
watching this clownshow at twitter and thinking, these people want my credit card information. so they can make monthly charges. lmao
man who painted himself into a corner: "wow how did all this paint get here?"
it's my first day
by february the twitter office will be a bunch of cheap desks from staples under a tent on the parking lot of the tesla factory, right next to the car building tent
tragic, can't even win cat turd 2 over
Disliked and without social cachet anywhere, wandering fucking twitter cliques looking for a home. Steadily getting iced out from anyone except the cachet of bazingas he can't stand.
He's going to have a neurotic breakdown. Gonna snap like a Phoenix Wright witness
I'd guess every feature they've rolled out since he took over is something they've previously tried and discarded
[taking a giant huff of paint]
"yeah all three novels were about a woke mind virus"
"pronouns suck"
narrator: the u.s. government did not ask them to remove the accounts
imagine the us government and various agencies of it taking an interest in a communication platform that can be trivially exploited by practically anyone. Imagine that!
the whole thing can be summed up as "twitter gets asked to do stuff and sometimes says yes and sometimes says no, but had a process in place", but seeing as elon fired everyone involved in that process I guess it's all just fine now!
I was time person of the year in 2006, they let anyone be a person of the year
Musk made it so the algorithm rids of bad posting. But his tweets don’t appear. Interesting.
sorry. sorry im trying to delete it

Becoming increasingly convinced that he's planning to rip the copper wire out of the walls and then declare bankruptcy
The hacking will continue until morale improves
Social Media Platforms Are Failing Brazil's Voters
The stakes could not be higher in Brazil’s election. Yet tech platforms are predictably failing to meet the moment. More than 120 million Brazilians voted in the first round of elections on October 2. A second round on October 30 will determine Brazil’s next president.
Lmao, and he demands they only say nice things about Elon for life
Elon bro you’re subject to Warn and the CA equivalent bro what are you doing you’re just gonna send these folks to the plaintiff attorneys

atomicpx@cspam It seems this egomaniac can’t keep his nose out of other gov’s elections, let alone ours. But anyway, I feel I’m just now starting to detox from Twitter after nearly a month of abstinence and spiritual work 😎. I don’t miss it.
bluerootsradio@cspam Catturd got it right with "rouge", the red in Elmo is strong these days.

Bleak Future@cspam is there a more colossal meltdown in history than what we’re witnessing right now with this guy?
Twitter was a behemoth - Tesla was on pace to change the entire industry… SpaceX did… space stuff, I guess. Seems impressive.
Someone should have just locked him in an office with a pretend phone that fed into a pretend internet (maybe also Trump gets one) and let him vent like Creed’s blog on The Office.
