Twitter Death Cult
Guess that’s the end of the blocking feature...
I feel like the twitter engineers going to be up for another long day tomorrow
Wasn't it only like just a week ago that he was crowing about how he had saved Twitter from bankruptcy?
"trending toward breakeven" or some such nonsense lol

Another expose on twitter internals:
-Elon is on meth 24/7 and running things like a cartoon caricature of steve jobs, making everyone do 80 hour weeks and firing them for cause if they say the wrong word
-Twitter now has 1 principal engineer (he fired the other one for telling him he’s not popular)
-Elon also suggested banning everyone not from the US or Japan to cut costs and make the whole thing a subscription service

Damn, the man is desperate
jesus christ he's doing the dril tweet irl
this is all so pathetic
really funny that he's claiming a 'review' proves it's false but not actually posting any data

the reduced engagement simply cannot be a result of people being driven off of the platform by elon's behavior or elon's shitty fucking tweets. he's posting just as well as he always has, and he has a hundred million followers. how many folllowers do you have??? aha exactly, not that many friend journalist!!! gottem
he literally can't face the reality that he simply is a repellent man baby with the worlds thinnest skin, he has to insist that no he's actually been posting bangers this whole time
so pissed about paying those service costs and couldn't prove definitively that the vendors were explicitly scamming the company that he's scrapping an industry wide best practices feature
what could go wrong
Twitter: had all the big mainstream brands that you'd see advertising on TV during the superbowl (but no longer)
Instragram: all the ads are for fake face creams or real pyramid schemes
Elon thinking Insta was something to emulate explains a lot
Ah, figures that Elon firing most of the workers got rid of everyone fighting the actual SMS fraud so he got hit by a big bill and now he thinks paywalling sms 2fa will fix it (it won't)
Someone pointed out that Biden went to the Ukraine today and it didn't trend once despite posts being liked by 50k +.
Elmo is such a little bitch lol
if scolding stone is the best he's got maybe it's good that he usually steals others jokes
pushing half-developed features to prod is fine, just add a flag to hide them in the clientside javascript
this person has already accomplished more than geohotz ever managed
lmao, what a gross stain of a human
Also Zuby continues to be this weird crazy nexus of "Guy who utterly irrelevant and inconsequential even on Twitter, yet all the Worst People You Know are real big fans of him somehow"
here is a nice pithy encapsulation of bazinga logic
maybe he should run less companies if his goal is to get us to mars
maybe he's not actually that interested in getting us to mars if he's running several companies at once and they're all flailing about randomly
elon stopped paying his salesforce bills and slack died

imagine all the institutional knowledge that just went up in smoke, whoops!
good thing they still have all their longtime/senior employees with things locked up tight in the brain vau-- oh. oh no.
I'm sure there was no important automated services that relied on it either
