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

Elon Musk reinvents Twitter for the benefit of a power user: Himself

Elon Musk has rolled out major changes at Twitter — many of which have targeted his own experience, but not that of millions of regular users of the site.

The Washington Post
surely this will convince the advertisers to return
can’t wait to be shown even more ads for “what is a woman”
Elon Musk Reportedly Woke Up Twitter Engineers at 2AM Because His Super Bowl Tweet Wasn’t Getting Enough Likes

Elon Musk woke up Twitter engineers at 2am because his Super Bowl tweet wasn't getting as many likes as Joe Biden's.

The Chainsaw

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

im laughing actually! hahaha. ha ha! these simpletons could not possibly imagine what it is like to be as smart and beloved as the technoking. peons. urchins. you are correct doge designer
a good comment on that Little Joel video

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

"Look, I’m not obsessed with getting your attention"
lol hell yeah let's fucking go
Great start to his plan to turn Twitter into some sort of payment provider
just scrounging for more change in the cushions

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

Lol the newest twitter files is just whining about how nobody cares about the twitter files
he’s trying to retcon it to make it seem like he claimed it was both the sides in his Twitter Files bullshit and not just the very obvious slant Musk wanted against THE LEFTISTS plus the GOP accidentally gave away the game by making ex-Twitter employees testify that it was really Trump and the GOP threatening Twitter to take down posts and with Musk not caring about this shit anymore and more focused on his engagement numbers Taibbi is left to flail trying to get any credibility back from it all

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)

@EricAschner: I think I have a pretty good idea what happened with the SMS decision yesterday. Some people are mentioning Elon talked about fraud creating high costs for SMS 2FA. (Account security via login codes se...…

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

Angus King’s list of ‘suspicious’ Twitter accounts included political critics

Almost all of the flagged accounts were conservative and appear to be under anonymous handles.

For some reason all of Elon's buddies love Putin, must be a coincidence

if scolding stone is the best he's got maybe it's good that he usually steals others jokes

Luv 2 schedule downtime for routine maintenance at mid-day on Wednesday
elon's twitter producing fresh new horrors!
truer words were seldom spoken, dril

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

https://fortune.com/2023/02/08/twitter-cost-cutting-software-salesforce-elon-musk/

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

Elon Musk’s cost cutting at Twitter reaches the next level after layoffs and stiffing landlords. Now he wants to dump pricey software used by his employees

Twitter’s cost cutting may include jettisoning Salesforce software, which employees use as part of their jobs.

If I’m slack I keep the lights on to keep racking up payments and fuck over Elon then sue lmao

New cracks emerge in Elon Musk's Twitter

Jira went down, Slack's gone, and site performance is degraded. What's next?

Elon Musk’s Twitter Goes Dark on Government Data Grabs

“That shit went out the window right after Elon came in,” one former staffer says of Twitter’s previously routine transparency reports

Rolling Stone

"That same day, Jira — a tool Twitter uses to track everything from progress on feature updates to regulatory compliance — also stopped working. With no way to chat and no code to ship, most engineers took the day off.

Jira access was restored on Thursday.

Slack remained down at the company on Thursday. While some employees communicated over email, others essentially took a second day off."

https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/24/23613288/twitter-slack-jira-outages-performance-degradation

Twitter shut off its internal Slack, and now ‘everyone is barely working’

Elon Musk’s Twitter faces more problems as Jira goes down, Slack disappears, and employees stop working. What comes next as the site’s performance gets worse?

The Verge

"Negative feedback is a good thing, which is why everyone who likes me enough to pay a monthly fee gets their replies boosted to the top"

also if there are scammer accounts he knows about why did he just block them instead of having the accounts removed

Elon's probably going to crack down on mass blocking soon, especially with the increasing popularity of the twitter blue blocklist.

It owns that how shit as jack was as a person regarding the worst people on twitter, that the current lead is literally a junkie obsessing over all the worst aspects of being a serious twitter power via constantly checking his views and impressions and likes every day compulsively to see how many people like him and has made a hell of his own making.

A billionaire takes over the “public square” and suddenly there is less oversight of him, politicians, and far right nazis in said square 🤔

After a Decade of Tracking Politicians’ Deleted Tweets, Politwoops Is No More

Whether officials were deleting an embarrassing post or just correcting a typo, Politwoops tracked them all. But service changes made after Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter have rendered it impossible for us to continue tracking these tweets.
