Musk’s X Corp. sues data scrapers for “severely taxing” Twitter’s servers

X Corp. lawsuit says unidentified scrapers forced Twitter to impose rate limits.

Ars Technica

we will answer the questions. What questions? the important ones. they’re easy to answer we just haven’t asked them yet. we will find out what questions to ask. we will find the questions to the answers to the universe, and then we will be the ones who have all the questions

hey look a nerd reference, give me 44 billion dollars

Poop back and forth. With the same poop. Forever.

YouTube
Internet Hall of Fame literally only reposts screenshots of tweets. Which Elon explicitly said would be demonetized... 🤔
lol catturd was snubbed
twitter getting brought down on OFAC would be so fuckin funny
The people who scream for answers on why they're not getting engagement are definitely going to calm down now that they think they're missing out on direct payments
lowtax speed run
[guy who was definitely a terrible father and also explicitly hates his trans daughter] my kids don't like me, because of jiu jitsu,

just like with gab and parler etc. the right-wing absolutely hate being in their own echo chamber because then they realise they're all antisocial freaks with shit-stained undies and zero friends

they crave having liberals to wrinkle their nose at the smell of said undies and frown at their absolutely dogshit takes

So predictable, he thinks he's in control, and that this gives him leverage over his pet chuds, and everyone else will just shut up.

Pat yourself on the titanium plate buddy!

So everyone in the list of payees was manually given a thumbs up by Twitter for payouts, probably Elon personally.

These are the brand ambassadors he has chosen.

Far-right Twitter influencers first on Elon Musk’s monetization scheme

The first beneficiaries appear to be high-profile influencers like Andrew Tate, DC Draino, Ian Miles Cheong, Benny Johnson and Ashley St. Clair.

The Washington Post

I can't wait for Elon to create Tay 2.0

if they're training it on twitter data I bet Elon also had them scrape the shit out of reddit

somewhere catshit is losing their mind that they couldn't even get a single stack. lol
this is amazing. the company is saddled with debt because *he saddled it with debt* and 50% advertising drop is because he scared away all of the advertisers.
other than that, that’s not how leveraged buyouts work. typically you take a company private so that you can do major reorganization without having to be accountable to the stock market. this means taking losses for months or years until the business is on the track where you think it will make money. what you don’t do is buy it, set the factory on fire, and then say “we’re not making any more changes until this returns to profitability”

the big lol is that elon has neither the business vision of what to do, the managerial capacity to implement it, nor the stomach for taking losses until his plan is implemented. every other week he wakes up in a cold sweat thinking about those mounting losses and freaks out and does something like fire more people or make another dumb edict like this one.

of course his fans don't understand that so he can just act like it was already failing and he's fixing it

man refuses to be funny and yet is constantly a punchline
lol cat turd is having a sad

Elon Musk is the richest despite being obviously and visibly incompetent.

There's no secret scheme. There's no deliberate plan. He's just that bad at this and has nobody to save him from himself. He's making what he thinks are the best decisions to run a platform because he's the World's Greatest Engineer and he's got solutions all these other idiots haven't thought of yet. When his decision blows up in his face, he blames someone else and goes on to his next blunder.

Elon Sues The Lawyers That Forced Him to Buy Twitter

lmao cat turd is having a full on meltdown because he wasn't one of elon's hand chosen recipients of a big bag of cash for posting and now his life means nothing

this is the inevitable outcome of being a musk stan

I just hope they finally learn something from it

former national security advisor and insurrectionist General Mike Flynn is with catturd
Thank you Dr. Bronner's

Elon's having himself a day

1. Doesn't understand the quote

2. Questions about my "not the CEO" shirt etc.

3. Pay me money to avoid any fraud enabled by my company. #NotExtortion

lol don't change your username
sending them some intern's bullshit draft press release will surely convince the advertisers to stay

The Explosive Finale of The Twitter Files

Falun Gong! Hell yeah! Get that energy wheel spinning!!!

I think Elon Musk might be the dumbest asshole on the planet
Elon Musk says Twitter will change logo from bird to an X

Latest controversial change involves billionaire saying an ‘interim X’ design will replace the distinctive pale-blue bird

The Guardian

imagine given up (whatever small) brand recognition twitter has for... X.

twitter has managed to get people to use "tweet" and "tweeting" as nouns and verbs.

"Yo dawg, just X me the deets"

we're only just beginning to imagine what this company is or will do, which is a very good position to be in, having purchased it almost a year ago

zombo.com has a better pitch than this

I'm still not sure if she's just there to collect a paycheck and doesn't give a fuck about anything else anymore (understandable), or if there's some actual thought process behind those words beyond saying what musk wants

I'd assume the former for almost anyone, but she's a marketing exec so who knows

Here he is STILL MAD that they wouldn’t run PayPal on windows NT in 1999

Even if you knew nothing about the state of webscale hosted services on windows vs *nix, which he clearly didn't and somehow still doesn't, what the fuck would video game development have to do with hosted service infrastructure in fucking 1999?

like, what platform was fucking hotmail being hosted on in 1999?

hint: it was not windows

it's me, the ceo, looking to spend our entire yearly revenue on hardware and sql licenses to build something slower and less reliable than we have today

If he has sunk cost fallacy / buyer's remorse over paying too much for x.com back in 1998 I can only imagine what he's going to be doing with the long-dead twitter brand in 20 years.

lol one of his stooges is gonna report on more of twitter's internal politics

but now it'll be ~the x files~

it isn't fucking "minimalist" "art deco" you tool you don't have any fucking idea what you're talking about aghghggghhhh

also can we just take a moment to appreciate how bad these all are?

Hilariously enough there is a chance that, since Twitter is incredibly fucking popular in Japan, the stupid rename will lead to Twitter Japan being known as X Japan... which is the name of one of the most famous rock bands in Japan.

Amazing foresight by Musk, literal brain genius

"Thanks for the name, idiot. You want all this Twitter shit we're throwing away?"

https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-twitter-take-x-handle-from-original-user

Elon Musk takes @x handle from its original user. He got zero dollars for it.

Here's how it went down.

Mashable
No one left at Twitter knows how to change a handle
@cspam Fake perhaps? Says they joined this month. I can't check cos I don't have Twitter anymore
@cspam Ah, unless they did change the handle, and then set that up to stop people using it?
@cspam although it's not blue (or gold or whatever) checked, so who the fuck knows I guess
