Twitter Death Cultif 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.
