Of course people want Musk to eat at least some amount of shit, so it's disappointing when he repeatedly manages to not deal with any repercussions from any of the idiotic scam-and-scam-adjacent services and promises he's come up with, regardless of how transparent they otherwise seem.
It's the primal need for something, anything to matter to this clown as an actual consequence, instead of what seems to keep happening
It's great that nothing he does works, and his veneer of sci-fi nerd messiah is flaking apart so obviously, and all this, but when things go so far as being taken to court for finance manipulation reasons and then they find that he's not trying to defraud or manipulate but is actually just an utter moron, that feels like we missed out on what should have been an easy win.
We do live in a supremely stupid world so we shouldn't be that surprised.
movetodon got banned by twitter
losing my ass at the blackjack tables and sputteringly explaining to my MEAN spouse that if they'll just LISTEN, I'm actually trending to breakeven. I've got a system!
had to save twitter from bankruptcy (that I put it on the path to)
would not wish the pain of running multiple companies on anyone (no I will not step down and let anyone else run a single one of these companies)
Lol "Trending to breakeven" aka "even if i cherrypick a bunch of extremely favourable data points and ignore all surrounding data, the best picture I can fabricate is we'll stop losing money at some undefined point in the future, maybe"
Then again he probably didn't actually bother to do even that and is just lying so that he keeps his story straight to anyone still funneling money to him
"Elon, I showed my bad posts to everyone and barely anyone liked them!"
"For some unknown reason nobody likes any of the weird freaks I keep shoving into everyone's timeline!"
I do have to give elon credit, making the tweet view metrics public is starting to cause a lot of petty people who are addicted to validation either feeling bad about it or pointing fingers at elon because these numbers can't possibly be right everyone loves my posts
Everything he says he's done, he's done the opposite

People don't ask me "where moon" but then again I haven't promised anyone we're living on Mars in 10 years 10 years ago
also probably safe to assume that a doge name or avatar means that the person is one of elon's paid lackies
I really wanna know the turnaround time from Elon dictating the terms and the code being deployed.
Also isn't that really going to fuck over companies that offer user support via Twitter? Of course they'll soon offer an option to bypass those limits for $11 a day or something.

An example of how stupid this is. To DM Xfinity Support, you need to follow each other since so many accounts have closed DMs. But Xfinity Support can't follow any new accounts until they unfollow 133,000 accounts. So they won't be able to interact with customers.

lol
guys the superbowl is this week. nobody is going home.
or perhaps people will be going home... they just won't be coming back
she's so fuckin dumb she doesn't know they're also pretty goddamn happy that dude bought them out for 44 billion
https://www.thedailybeast.com/republicans-bow-down-to-twitter-chief-at-hearing-god-bless-elon-musk
he vastly, vastly overestimates the amount of blood he can squeeze from the stone that is twitter and he'll end up killing it trying to get the last drop, like lmao why the HELL would you fuck with the ability to SOCIALIZE on a SOCIAL NETWORK, then have the audacity to charge for it???
they're gonna do all this bullshit tweaking and pissing off everyone by limiting follows or whatever then check the balance sheet at the end of the month and see only 0.01% of users forked over cash
I imagine he is getting blocked by a lot of people right now, driving down even accidental engagement.

This is a combination of sad and hilarious, because:
1) Those estimates are annualized figures based on the advertisers Twitter had at the beginning of the year and tons of major ad supporters bailed on Twitter in the first few months. So, even that figure of $19 million is likely way lower.

"Just yesterday, Twitter experienced a mass outage...
Apparently, an employee unintentionally deleted data for the “internal service that sets rate limits for using Twitter,” the outlet wrote. The team of people that used to manage the rate limit service haven’t been employed at Twitter since November.
“As the adage goes, ‘you ship your org chart,’” one current employee told Platformer. “It’s chaos here right now, so we’re shipping chaos.”"

it usually doesn’t not go well when a female assault victim changes their story. juries get very skeptical, and a lot of assholes become extremely hostile against the victim.
perhaps she should have taken advice from a victim’s advocate before deciding to do this, or just watched an episode of law & order: svu
if she was sane she'd have enough of a Simp Surplus to get people to defend her music video days.
She made the mistake of CANCELING right wingers, by reporting them on YouTube for posting the video. They got banned or suspended or something which made them lose their shit and that's when things started crashing down on her.
elon musk has figured out the one weird trick for not having to pay the employees you fired: make them sign arbitration agreements, then don't select arbitrators or pay the arbitration firms
"the company is refusing to pay its share of filing fees to the arbitration company... in cases where the arbitration agreement does not specify a particular arbitration firm, Twitter will not agree on selecting an arbitrator, simply ignoring her emails to Twitter’s own lawyers."
An attorney who says she represents approximately one-third of all Twitter employees that were fired since Elon Musk bought the company late last year, told a federal court in a new filing that the company is not serious in its attempts to resolve worker disputes through private arbitration and i...
bah! who needs ads when that sweet sweet $8/mo subscription revenue is flowing in?

lmao, "we found out your epic posts were overloading the mainframe sir"
Some engineer did a fantastic job of saving probably their entire team's jobs by pulling that whopper of a lie out of their ass
lmao he probably thinks ddos is when normal people aren't being force-fed catturd2 posts
Good to know me #BlockTheBlue'ing is killing Musk's site
lmfao the replies on that are just garbage ass feature requests, complaints, crypto grifters, billionaire boot lickers and shitty memes
extremely funny that he paid billions to be King Mod and has managed to fuckup his dogshit website so badly that now no one sees his terrible posts
This could be solved incredibly easily by just making “following” a simple chronological feed just like everybody wants, but, no, the Boer must have muh elgerithim
Throwing daily jargon updates at the customer is a sign the project is going super well!
he has no idea what any of this means
lmfao dan o'dowd bought his FSD expose video as a twitter sponsored post
this is the first time I've ever seen Community Notes on anything other than the initial tweet
lmaoooooo
didn't spend ad dollars, just had the intern post a youtube link to their commercial
Finally, twitter is fixed
https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/13/23598514/twitter-algorithm-elon-musk-tweets
so mad at bluechecks that you end up with a system that is
a: redundant (double badging!) and confusing and
b: looks like the unicode fake verification the lamest goobers used to do
Twitter turning into ‘Elon forcing his terrible boomer ass tweets down everyone’s throats’ is exceeding my wildest expectations
And at least jay stile sold his site at a profit
oh my fucking god this is over his "go eagles" tweet that he deleted by the next morning
he's going to make his last remaining engineer force everyone to like 5 of musk's tweets before they can see one post on their timeline
just hard-code a 2M "like" head start onto every one of his tweets, maybe that'll shut him up
the future is being written entirely by pathetic idiot babymen
https://www.platformer.news/p/yes-elon-musk-created-a-special-system
My man was refreshing his tweet staring at his view count the whole time he was at the Super Bowl and then, instead of going to an after party orgy like a normal billionaire, got right on his private jet to yell at tired engineers who scrambled down to the office on a Sunday night.
Winning!
Imagining him calling an all-hands codeathon session to get this "problem" "fixed", frantically hoping they can do it without anybody outside the company finding out, because that's like the only thing that he really fears, being seen as a pitiful needy dweeb who has to buy his likes
All depends on secrecy. Every aspect of his self-worth hangs on whether they can make this work without anyone finding out.
And like two days later, boom lmao
He wasn't main character enough so he had to programmatically make himself the main character.
"Social media network owned by insecure billionaire makes everybody see all the posts of that billionaire" is so extremely pathetic that it'd feel like a reach even in fiction. Can't believe it's actually happening.

The Daily Mail! Lol.
Any sane person's default position is that if it's from the Daily Mail, it's probably not true.
Also, probably to avoid the rapp from any regulatory body, they often debunk their own headline within the article, which from halfway down will completely contradict the headline.
The Daily Mail is the top selling newspaper and most viewed news website in the UK, so pretty much the "mainstream".
@cspam people don't want to see you or your friends?
That has to stop. It messes up the presumption that everyone wants to see my posts.
