@willoremus Cause he fired all his press folks.

@chrisculling @willoremus Rather, he replaced them with a poop emoji...

Kevin Russell Mar 20, 2023

@chrisculling @willoremus

There isnt any 'cuz' in the subversion of the democracy.

Trying to explain actions or excuses is a mugs game, and it induces many people to say "oh ok" as if a corporation repoinding to a charge of anti semitism with "shit" - is somehow not a sign of the apocalyptic assault on America by nazis.

Ruby S.Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus To be fair, the poop emoji is their default response to anything sent to [email protected]. I'm not kidding.

@ruby @willoremus It just means Musk has poop on his brains. Given his coloration, he strikes me as a chickenshit...

Litzz11 Mar 20, 2023

@toxtethogrady @ruby @willoremus Looks like a giant man-baby in a diaper.

Norman Wilson Mar 20, 2023

@Litzz11 @toxtethogrady @ruby @willoremus Sometimes what it looks like is just what it is.

@oclsc @Litzz11 @ruby @willoremus But enough about Donald Trump...

Mike Cohen Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus @webuiltthiscity he fired the entire press department

Northbaybanter Mar 20, 2023

@mikec415 @[email protected] @webuiltthiscity He, pressed his luck.

Peter Butler Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus @w7voa broke the poop story this weekend, lol

Elon Musk got the money to buy Twitter from Morgan Stanley & Saudi Arabia.

Big Oil has invested heavily in social media platforms.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/24/elon-musk-twitter-funders/

The oil industry wants to keep frying the planet, so it funds anti-democracy movements like White Nationalists.

The oil industry uses its profits to fry democracy and to fry the planet.

Saudis ‘second largest investors’ in Twitter after Musk takeover

KHC and the private office of Prince Alwaleed bin Talal are jointly the second largest investors after Elon Musk.

@willoremus It wasn’t the red carpet?

Pauxlll Kruczynski Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus the man needs a reckoning to visit him

Tan_Hana_Dharma_Mangrwa Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus For Elon, what matters most is no Anti-Elonism, and perhaps anti-fascism or anti-narcissism, because he feels belonged to the last two also.

Aral Balkan Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus “Asked for comment, Musk's press department auto-responded with a poop emoji.”

Wow.

Quincy ⁂Mar 20, 2023

@aral @willoremus

And whoever is still on twitter now shares some responsibility for this. If those who could easily have done so would already have left in droves, that would have been a clear statement.

Not doing so now means giving permission to this.

Quincy ⁂Mar 20, 2023

@aral @willoremus

Seriously, this needs to be punished.

Whoever is still clinging to #twitter is now in effect *voting* against transparency, and pro antisemitism.

Just leave #twitter, folks.

Aral Balkan Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus One solution is for the press to stop covering him. Entirely. I mean I’m not sure what more he can do. He has already figuratively shat on you.

Deus Mar 20, 2023

They keep going back and WANT to cover him. It’s almost as if they want him to pat them on the forehead with ‘good doggy’. Up til Dec 2022, I was seeing posts on here who for sure were journos crying/complaining about their twitter account being suspended. That’s how badly they want to be there on his site AND cover him.

Unfortunate and I feel bad for them. I hope they’ll learn…one day!

JohnnieMac Mar 22, 2023

@willoremus @aral @Deus
Media Want to report on dumpster fires and #Musk /tweeter is a biggie.

IMHO his PR peaked with his cameo on #bigbangtheory and has been downhill ever since.

I still hope for him to have a positive epiphany and snap out of the rut; someone that has done what he has should have a lot more positive achievements in their future.

@willoremus Appropriate emoji. It reflects the quality of his website...

JacquesBouchard Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus I would find it so valuable if someone would run a survey evaluating digital marketers willingness to continue to invest in Twitter advertising after all of this.

derzeitreisende Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus you can’t buy class.

Beeks Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus @drewharwell

Like #ChatGPT you just need to know how to ask the right questions.

Chris Lewis Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus The "press department" responds to every message with a poop emoji. I expect he's fired the department.

Daniel Thomas Burosh Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus Elon Musk is a piece of shit and so is anybody who puts a dime in that fucker’s pocket.

Pyperkub Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus They were acknowledging @[email protected] 's #enshittification of twitter? 😂

JGW Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus
What are the chances that's by design?
100%.

Nerd That Talks Good Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus Can't wait for Poop to send Twitter a Cease and Desist order for making it look bad.

Desert_Dog Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus
It’s challenging to respect the people and pundits who stay with twitter

johnmastodon Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus hopefully this year he'll finally get the visit from the three ghosts of Christmas in order to change his moronic attitude.

Resistor McResistanceFace Mar 20, 2023

Yet so many still tweet.

Dioramic Life Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus The article doesn't properly cite the study at all. No link, should the reader want to learn more about the study itself.

Mobile Suit Golem Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus
Not at all surprised that the platform owned by the Apartheid South African Emerald Mine Owner's Child has a rise in antisemitism and overall hate speech.

qVp Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus good

Andreas K Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus Don't worry, these pesky researchers doing irritating studies will stop when they see how much they are supposed to pay to get a bit of Twitter data from next month on.

Problem solved.

Catherine Russell Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus And people keep saying to me, "Oh come back Catherine, just ignore him, we do." #twitter #ElonMusk

Kevin Russell Mar 20, 2023

Help musk find out.

Granny Bear Josie Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus This would be why I downloaded and deleted my Twitter account last week. It's just not worth plowing through the bots, trolls and Fascist Spam to find worthwhile content.

@willoremus I heard something similar like a DAY after Elon took control of Twitter

kfnagle Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus Today B*ll O’R*lly showed up in my feed and that did it for me. No legitimate algorithm would have done that

miket330 Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus he is a child of the Apartheid era is he not??

Gramix Mar 20, 2023

Whoever thought a 💩 was the professional response to this should be fired and never be in a similar position again.

Orca 🌻 | 🎀 | 🪁 | 🏴🏳️‍⚧️Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus Twitter's whole communication department is fired, "Musk's press dept." as in automatic program 🫠

Midwest Bob Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus Well that is appropriate coming from a shit like Musk.

Voron Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus Billionaires don’t have to respond to peasants anymore now that government doesn’t care about peasants anymore either

Str8nger Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus 💩is appropriate… would also add 🔥 to 💩

Paul Widzowski Mar 20, 2023

Well Musk is easy to understand from a Christian point of view, He is a serial adulterer, with his tryst with Brin's wife being a vile and clear case.

Second, I am unfascinated by the hyper wealthy, greedy and spoiled children.

the society defines "net worth" so that Musk has a higher score than, say Mother Teresa.

I follow God not mammon, and when it comes to "net worth" I score Mother Teresa higher than Musk.
So it goes.

Quiquaequod Mar 20, 2023

@willoremus from the way things are going, it sounds like a couple dozen bots requesting press comments could create a literal virtual shitstorm that could take Twitter down again.
