On the cover of New York magazine this week: the Goons' first 90 days running Twitter. By @zoeschiffer, me and @alexeheath https://www.theverge.com/23551060/elon-musk-twitter-takeover-layoffs-workplace-salute-emoji
Extremely Hardcore

Twitter’s staff spent years trying to protect the social media site against impulsive billionaires who wanted to use the reach of its platform for their own ends, and then one made himself the CEO.

@caseynewton @zoeschiffer @alexeheath Truly a great job, all.

I was enthralled reading this morning, and that's even after reading the updates on Platformer as they happened!

@caseynewton @zoeschiffer @alexeheath The writing was in depth, but clear. I also loved the little Elon Worth-o-meter on the side too, dropping in chronological time with what was happening at Twitter. Genius!

@caseynewton @zoeschiffer @alexeheath “Today, Musk has become notorious for the speech he suppresses, rather than the speech he allows” what a great line.

@caseynewton @zoeschiffer @alexeheath great article.
This bit is particularly brutal
"Those who remain at the company mostly fall into two camps: people trapped by the need for health care and visas or cold-eyed mercenaries hoping to ascend through a power vacuum."

@caseynewton @zoeschiffer @alexeheath The Musk article reads like a disaster novel. #IrwinAllen should make the movie.

@caseynewton @zoeschiffer @alexeheath What a really great piece assembled by this team. You really captured the paranoia, chaos, and sub-competence of this whole ado.
