There are many odd things that Musk is auctioning off as he's selling off the Twitter furniture... but... boxes of KN95 masks is... a choice.

@mmasnick Weird, the image won’t open when I click? I just see the alt text.

Opens fine in a new tab tho.

@joemcken mastodon lag?

@mmasnick Possibly? Just hit Ctrl+F5 and it still does it. Odd. First time getting this particular issue.

@mmasnick @joemcken I can't get it either, tbh.

@evacide he does seem like the anti-masker type.

@BradfordBenn @evacide $8 per mask.

@mmasnick @evacide he's anti-COVID any preventative measures. He tried to make Tesla employees in Alameda County come to work after their shelter in place orders were first announced in March 2020, and the county health department had to investigate and force him to close.

@mmasnick its kinda telling when the total on the bottom of the bill says "1 and some change billion a year" and he looks around and goes "quick! sell these chairs for a few bucks, and these masks for 25 bucks and the deli slicer!" as though making 5k or 10k is going to tip the scales when hes short several hundred million

@mmasnick Literal, bare-faced, asset stripping. When will he sell the servers?

@mmasnick needs to maximize that return on investment and who needs masks when Twitter will soon have no offices left due to unpaid rent
Show threadtoxtethogradyJan 16, 2023
@mmasnick Is he selling off the masks as 13 cases and 46 cases, or as individual cases? I suspect he'll be selling off toilet paper before long...
Show threadKevin DavidsonJan 16, 2023
@toxtethogrady @mmasnick He can’t. He got rid of the cleaning contractors so Twitter staff are having to bring in their own toilet paper now.

@mmasnick

I haven't tried to log in since my 3rd party app stopped working, but they're auctioning things off now! What? I feel like I must be lacking some additional contextual info that would make this seem more normal, but this is the first time in a long while I've legitimately felt that I'm "off" of twtr mentally.

Feels... good.

@mmasnick I'm running low and that seems like a pretty decent price (provided a lack of bidding wars), but I'll be damned if I'm going to give any money to that asshole.
