Viraptor@caseynewton @zoeschiffer I really want some company to finally cut them off for not paying like they would any other customer. Have courage, international corporations!
LAUREN@viraptor @caseynewton @zoeschiffer I think it's like the nations of the world owning each other's debt now. If one goes, they all go.
Laure@caseynewton @zoeschiffer trump’esque
Earthy Tonez@caseynewton @zoeschiffer found this gem:
“Smyte has significantly reduced crypto spam.” I’ve noticed on the not logged in home page every so hours a whole bunch of crypto spam will surface. Will be interesting if it overwhelms.
Darryl Ramm@caseynewton @zoeschiffer And if Google has brains it will run, not walk, away.
Bret Carmichael@caseynewton @zoeschiffer By now, most people who use Twitter are pretty up-to-speed on how Elon conducts himself and runs Twitter. At some point, some accountability falls to users who stay and continue to feed him.
@bretcarmichael @caseynewton @zoeschiffer that point was 6 months ago when he began to openly promote extremist minority voices to full prominence
Epiphanic Synchronicity@caseynewton @zoeschiffer One by one Musk is getting the biggest tech companies lined up against him. He’s stiffing Google & Amazon so they’re refusing to pay him for advertising. Meta is developing a Twitter replacement, promising it will be “sanely run.” (This is the thanks he gets for making *Facebook* look almost beneficent.) All that’s left is for Apple to kick Twitter out of the App Store. Then his users will have to resort to 3rd party—oh yeah, they can’t.
serklarvel@caseynewton @zoeschiffer come on, Google. Unplug this mf, enough is enough
Scott Knowles@caseynewton @zoeschiffer Sometimes I get sense Musk wants to drive Twitter into financial insolvency and a completely broken Twitter, so nothing is left for anyone to buy and rebuild it. He dumped the$13B loan on company, so he gets a walk on that, and he can blame advertisers, staff and users for its failure.
Fahri Reza 🍉@wsrphoto @caseynewton @zoeschiffer people who lent him money will get nothing.
I think some of them are banks??

DJW@BruceMirken @zoeschiffer @caseynewton Nope, not a single soul survived.
That, ofc, is why they don’t care if their T&S systems collapse - it's just hosting legacy code based no one uses to run platforms with no users…
Renee DiResta@zoeschiffer @caseynewton did he call it a shithole?
@Noupside we're getting there
@caseynewton @Noupside is there a secret playbook?
David Carroll@caseynewton @Noupside I’m locked out of my account for 2 weeks+ now but Twitter Support RIP especially for unchecks; good thing I started my own server.
Rick Williams@caseynewton @zoeschiffer Going to be very interesting to see what happens when the first provider vital to the service cuts them off.
Brad@caseynewton @zoeschiffer it would be a shame if twitter.com stopped resolving via Google DNS…
Ms. Penny Oaken@burkettlabs @caseynewton @zoeschiffer while that would be *hilarious*, it would be a crisis in network infrastructure that Musk does not deserve to be able to instigate
@PennyOaken @caseynewton @zoeschiffer oh I know. No way would Google ever do that but part of me just wants to watch this whole thing burn down.
Tor Iver Wilhelmsen@burkettlabs @caseynewton @zoeschiffer a more likely scenario is that their registrar is one of the companies stiffed and the domain lapses for non-payment.
BlueintheSouth@caseynewton @zoeschiffer Musk has zero interest in "fighting spam, removing child sexual abuse material, and protecting accounts, among other things."
He encourages and promotes it.
leandrofelgueiras@caseynewton @zoeschiffer maybe musk's plan is to break twitter. He's so stupid it is hard to believe. One thing we know: without his family's money, this guy wouldn't have anything.
Chad Briggs@leandrofelgueiras @caseynewton @zoeschiffer Musk, Kushner, the Saudi royals, they aren't friends to promote democracy
newsorpigalMy popcorn is ready 🍿
Kyle Memoir 🍉🐧Interesting how Musk so casually threw around ‘pedo’ accusations when his idiotic man-baby submarine ideas were rebeffed during the Thai cave rescue a few years ago and here he is now, clearing the way for pedos on Twitter.
As with Trump: every accusation is a tell.
Stefan Scholl@caseynewton @zoeschiffer Then we can all migrate to Google Buzz.
Alan Miller 
🇺🇦@caseynewton @zoeschiffer I don't think it goes towards Google's reputation for randomly shutting things down if it's because you didn't pay for contracted services.
If asked for a brief description of Musk a year ago I would not have included 'chaos monkey' in the list of pejoratives.
