musk doesn't give a shit about chuds and their grift beyond how to leverage it for attention.
and anyway at this point he thinks he's got them locked in, and now is fully into the enshittification of Twitter 2.0:

"surpluses are first directed to users; then, once they're locked in, surpluses go to suppliers; then once they're locked in, the surplus is handed to shareholders and the platform becomes a useless pile of shit."
Twitter first got the chudiverse audience online again by being the place they can be assholes at minorities without getting banned. then they got all the chud "creators" in by charging $8 per month to get their shit shoved in front of everyone. now it is time to milk everyone for maximum returns* by preventing them from redirecting to other platforms.
*not enough to pay the interest on the loans lol.
lol @ "violent or misleading content that could lead to real-world harm"
nobody has ever been more of a baby-backed bitch than elon
Wait...is this suggesting that Elon lied? I find that hard to believe
Elon's claims:
1. I didn't ban substack
2. they were trying to download our entire database so I banned them
3. Matt Taibbi is a sleeper agent for substack
he's just making shit up completely.
he doesn't know, no one has told him anything even remotely like this, he is just typing words that sound like they make sense in his head. these words are only tangentially related to the subject, and have nothing at all to do with what actually happened, is happening, or why.
he’s learned well from trump. the excuse doesn’t need to be true or even make sense, it just has to exist
lmao searching for "from:mtaibbi" now returns no results
watch their already radium-ass codebase end up with load-bearing bans like SA
Let him have his fun and dick around with the office sign! The future is looking bright!

Advertisers are coming back!
"Colgate-Palmolive’s vice president and general manager of consumer experience and growth, Diana Haussling, wrote to the group that she was “both excited for the success of the conference while also mindful of the harmful and often racist rhetoric of Elon Musk."
Good luck Elon!
Twitter Blue subscribers might want to check their financials
lol if you let your bank info get anywhere near twitter
We know this isn't true because a dog could run Twitter a lot better than Musk ever could

lol when wired stops posting on twitter
it owns that elons father is just the worst person and hates everyone

ELON Musk’s dad Errol claims he bankrolled his billionaire son’s escape from South Africa to America with emeralds from an “under the table” mine in Zambia. The Tesla CEO, 51, last week offered a m…
mods giving out avatars is a crime
elon's making his llm alright
it's funny because the api was already killed
so this is just being extra petty

removing the screenshots but not the offending posts, big priorities
christ his feed is dire recently. they are really desperate to make that guy seem like hes not a nazi for some reason
anyway there are occasional smartest ceo in the universe comments
pro tip: if elon had a gun to his head, he could just tell his engineers to update the app so that it sends twitter back a copy of your private keys. by virtue of controlling the client, they can circumvent any security.
also they could easily man-in-the-middle attack any key exchange if they wanted to or if the government forces them to do so.

"This has now launched for a subset of Twitter users. The code that existed to notify users that device identities had changed does not appear to have been enabled - as a result, in its current form, Twitter can absolutely MITM conversations and read your messages"

holy fuck, his brain is complete mush
that 10+ seconds of him staring silently into space, eyes darting back and forth as he frantically tries to scrape together enough thoughts to respond to the question, are gonna live rent-free in my head for, like, an hour

Elon spent 44b to be able to say anti semitic shit and not get banned
he certainly looks like he a) spends all his time indoors and b) doesn't sleep, see also: inability to answer questions like a normal human being, brain damage
also I cannot fucking believe he is not getting called out in his "the shooter wasn't actually a Nazi it's all a plot by (((Soros)))" shit I mean jfc

It's patently obvious that their actual beef is that the guy had a Spanish-sounding name, making him too Ethnic to be one of them, but I'm not sure what he's trying to say their pretend beef is. A false flag to paint nazis as bad? The guy was secretly woke? The mind boggles.
Those leaving Community Notes on ads are doing good work, both because it is clear that no one left at Twitter knows how to turn them off, but also because they're costing Twitter millions of dollars in ad revenue.
I don't think I've seen ads from any recognizable brands on Twitter in weeks. In fact, the only two ads I ever see are for yoga pants and adjustable cup holders.
Twitter lost $40 million in advertising after two “pretty big” advertisers received crowd-sourced fact-checks appended to their advertisements, Elon Musk said in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. The fact-checks are part of Twitter’s Community Notes system, which Musk has championed as a way to increase accuracy on Twitter. Volunteers can submit notes adding context or correction to any given
when you were a kid did you ever have that friend who got all the really cool expensive toys like the gi joe aircraft carrier or the at-at then would just treat them like garbage and break them because when you're spoiled nothing is actually important except for your feelings at this exact second? not sure why I'm asking
Now they aren’t even pretending the twitter files aren’t about settling personal scores.
Also that Thacker guy needs an editor or something. What's with all the typos?
@cspam I used to spend a lot of time on that app manually clicking on troll followers, and their followers and so on. I had 14,000 accounts manually blocked.
This post has 2 indicators of a paid troll:
-Incorrect grammar
-Ridiculously inflammatory based on disinformation
A way to tell is to engage with the poster or commenter. A troll will reply with more antagonistic baiting no matter what you say, because their mission is to get you frustrated enough to say something against TOS.
@cspam I wish this were regularly a thing everywhere there are ads
...but capitalism
