deadbeat billionaire

lmao he's really gonna do it? blue only votes so he can win all of his own dumb polls, in a bald-faced sop to his own ego. all because a bunch of people told him to get fucked and he can't handle it?

my god, the corn cobbing here is astronomical

Discover a new world of cringe by digging into Elon's "likes"

ELON: I… try? Not to uhhhh pick? Fights? But I do erm finish. Them *manages to unsheathe sword on the third try*

If you thought the Tesla folks who were transferred over to Twitter were safe, lol, lmao
This is the only way he could have shut down twitter. I mean it would have been great if he had some kind of John Galt speech and then shut the whole thing down, but there would have been all this infrastructure lying around. But by destroying any legitimacy and then letting it all fall apart slowly, that's more natural.

"Amir Shevat, who managed Twitter’s developer platform and had led large teams at Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, was perplexed. Every company did stack ranking differently. Should they sort workers by seniority? Impact? Revenue generated? No one had an answer. “They said, ‘We don’t know. Elon wants a stack rank,’” Shevat says."

"The project succeeded in generating large lists of names, but because different managers had ranked employees according to their own methods, the results were incoherent. “If I were to get that list, I would probably throw it in the garbage because it’s completely useless,” Shevat says."
elon did ask for stack ranking, he just didn't specify what to rank on lol
weird how excess mortality is so much higher than reported covid deaths if we're overcounting

look, people are dying of a lot of things, all the time, moreso than usual even.

doesn't mean it's covid. could be anything killing those people

sometimes people just die. none of my business.

there's nothing in the article that isn't in the headline, but lmao:

"i see that you blocked some nazis, here's more nazis for you to see going forward"

thanks Elon, this makes total sense 🙄

lol we've been trying to tell people this is how the internet works for a decade while the social media companies did everything in their power to hide it

and he just tweeted it out

lol
god i wish biden was even a tenth as effective as idiots think he is

lmao that the richest man on the planet for some reason burned billions of dollars to please a misanthropic sixty year old Florida man

and he’s failing

Elon has no friends
Hmm that must mean this Edelman guy is the one that speaks only truths then
I thought this was withering sarcasm until I checked the user name lol
the worlds greatest source of truth is tiny wikipedia articles created by reddit upvotes, taped to the bottom of 240 character posts that no one will ever look at only a day later
It’s the same old same old because every social media company finds out the same thing: the most profits they can get involved breaking peoples brains and the right wing are the easiest to break the brains of... Since then every social media space becomes a warehouse of drooling idiots clapping as their feed fills up with the secrets they don’t want you to know about vaccines or which Jew families have secret ties to ancient aliens who want to enslave the earth or whatever.

There’s a reason Twitter finally stopped burning money when they let Trump take off and let his shadow spawn an ecosystem of Nazi fungus in its shade.

See also: The History Channel and Ancient Aliens / Nazi Super Weapons. The conspiracy loving fash seem to be the most reliable audience to cater for if you want to make money.

can’t decide if this is “oh dear” or “yes…hahaHA YES”
a once in a life time opportunity. Elon missed the point!
lmao yeah okay elon. left-wing encyclopedia

seems like maybe no one told elon that traffic numbers are collapsing and he’s about to find out...

and it'll get worse as a knock-on effect of kicking off 3rd party apps where most of the users that say anything worth seeing post

lol at catturd2

damn he’s got the king mad at him

Elon Musk Caves to Pressure From India to Remove BBC Doc Critical of Modi

Officials from India’s ruling right-wing party said American tech companies like Twitter and YouTube complied with demands to remove the documentary.

Elon trying to save face unbanning another antisemite to have them immediately be antisemitic because this is now a pattern and he's in trouble with his trial and his boards

I guess it's their equivalent of Red Hammer Week...

The Twitter 2.0 experiment has failed. As ever one need only look as far as SA for guidance in uncertain times.

He's not even going to pretend to do anything about the Modi censorship because Modi ~asked~ him personally and he approved it himself, so instead he has to play "poor little me I'm so busy with all these companies I'm CEO of"

Interesting thread speculating what is going on with twitter falling apart, basically a lot of interactions especially with high follower accounts are just being dumped because elon is cutting back on resources so much lol

@rahaeli: The Twitter mentions tab has never been truly reliable, but like the embedded tweet Archane is quoting says, it's gotten much worse lately. From checking my tweets directly I'd estimate I'm seeing less than...…

lmao just seeking approval from ANYONE

"Do you like me?"

"Please say you like me and validate me."

"It's fine, no really, it's fine!..."
