Broken Again

Me, owning you: "I wasn't even SHOWN anything that would go against the narrative that Elon Musk wants me to push!"

Lmfao, that’s not the slam dunk taibbi thinks it is.

“Uh sir they didn’t show me the files that made trump look worse”

How did Rupert Murdoch get secret information from the Saudis that could potentially have a major effect on the US economy in a negative way? Mystery of the century there.

long tweets are getting even longer lol

Fuck yes, make it long enough to galtse people

Sacking the kiddie porn team is a special kind of evil

"Current and former employees of the company tell BBC Panorama that features intended to protect Twitter users from trolling and harassment are proving difficult to maintain, amid what they describe as a chaotic working environment in which Mr Musk is shadowed by bodyguards at all times."

"He believes this lack of trust is betrayed by the level of security Mr Musk surrounds himself with.

"Wherever he goes in the office, there are at least two bodyguards - very bulky, tall, Hollywood movie-[style] bodyguards. Even when [he goes] to the restroom," he tells me.

He thinks for Mr Musk it's about money. He says cleaning and catering staff were all sacked - and that Mr Musk even tried to sell the office plants to employees."

lmfao

Article: elon musk has made Twitter a safe haven for pedophiles and other sex abusers

Elon: sorry not sorry 🤣🤣

"Anyone who can best the CEO in hand-to-hand combat" may seem barbaric and harsh, but the Delaware Chancery Court has operated under these traditions since time immemorial

https://www.thedailybeast.com/bodyguards-follow-elon-musk-everywhere-at-twitter-hq-even-to-restroom-says-engineer

"'you have been found guilty by the court of musk, based on the compelling evidence of 'my friend said so'. the sentence is death."

A group of gaggling paid for blue check mark idiots cheering on Elon Musk suspending the creator of a video because they didn’t want some clout chasing account using it without permission is really a perfect encapsulation of how art is treated in general in America. How fucking dire

yeah I totally remember all those times that Twitter shit itself to death on a monthly basis before Musk bought it, thinking back to all those times that jack shrugged and complained about his company's brittle coding stack, definitely a thing that happened all the time back in 2021 and before

also lol when has a complete code refactor ever successfully solved these sort of structural problems? You can't program around having fired all your competent coders.

little baby bitch boy musk afraid of his own employees lol

Kinda wondering if Elon is just suffering from amphetamine paranoia or if he's actually worried about getting bonesawed by the Saudis who he owes all that money to.

Probably both.

Twitter is only one website therefore it only needs one site reliability engineer

https://www.platformer.news/p/how-a-single-engineer-brought-down

gonna post all my content on the site that won't take DMCA requests seriously, fuck yeah

and surely the guy that won't pay rent will pay me for my content

Who would have thought that Elon would rush to the defense of people who copy/paste other people's stuff and pass it off as their own?

i'm sure the replies are full of empathetic folks offering words of support, now to scroll down...

this guy was iceland's person of the year in 2022, has done more productive work and more good for humanity than elon by a wide margin

and is currently getting mocked by the richest man in the world and his hooting apes as though he's an Engineer-1 who's trying to bluster through a code review (which would still be incredibly assholish behavior by elon and co)

Does elon delete these tweets when he realizes he's cry-laughing at a person with muscular dystrophy who has won national awards both for his design work and also his material contributions to equality and disability causes? Nope.

This is an incredible level of shitty behavior and being an abhorrent human being, even for Elon. Holding his contract hostage after taking his company and making him grovel in public to determine if he gets paid what his contract owes is some next level psychopathy.

This guy took a salary for the sale of his company so he’d pay the maximum tax in Iceland vs a lump sum, so he’s probably owed a lot of money.

I’m sure with the way courts have ruled in Elon’s favor this guy will get what he’s owed.

Elon has just made an enemy of the entire nation of Iceland.

"After my website completely shat the bed for 2 hours today, I decided to pick a fight and publicly humiliate a disabled former employee, who is also a well known and highly esteemed philanthropist, for the crime of asking why no-one in HR had even replied to his email asking if he was fired.

Just another day as a gigachad CEO"

huh, apparently Elon just hates iceland?

https://grapevine.is/news/2021/05/10/elon-musk-mocks-iceland-in-snl-sketch/

"Sir, do you even know what a Figma is?"

"No, what's a Figma with you? Rolling laughing emoji with tears streaming down it's face."

"Sir, did you just--"

"You're fired. You fucking moron."

Love saving my company $500k and sucking on the pudgy toes of my favorite CEO in exchange for a grand slam breakfast

Not at all surprised by musk's treatment of Halli as it seems very typical of his personality. I find it a lot harder to read all the musk sycophants jumping in to insult him. just so fucking gross

Holy fucking shit if that isn't clear cut discrimination and fucking hate crimes against someone disabled.

Like dude just daily somehow keeps digging fucking deeper into the bedrock and keeps fucking finding new lows.

Just fuck you Elon, fuck you.

He is genuinely the biggest piece of shit in the world, jesus christ.

I get why that kid pushed him down a flight of stairs and put him in the hospital in elementary school now.

Here's some background on Hali's alleged deal with Twitter, taken from ResetEra's Musk thread:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/elon-musk-twitter-drama-ot-let%E2%80%99s-keep-it-here-parody-%F0%9F%94%B5-official-%EA%95%A4.649272/page-631#post-102287260

Sounds like he's owed a rather large amount of money over time as compensation for pre-Musk Twitter acquiring his company, and Musk is trying to stiff him

This information matches what's been reported in this BBC article:

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64871183

I sincerely hope that the dude has a contract like resetera states and it then gets a goddamn country to sue Twitter for breaking contract and drags him over the coals. Dude deserves way better then how's he's being treated

The guy didn't even insult Elon or slight him at all, and Elon just openly, in front of God, the Meme Community, and everyone viciously shit talked this dude for daring to speak to him.

This is a new nadir, even for Elon. Proper Twilight Zone shit seeing that all play out in public. Of all the things that have happened this in particular has left me reeling, like it’s too surreal to have actually happened in our reality.
