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
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
The Explosive Finale of The Twitter Files
Falun Gong! Hell yeah! Get that energy wheel spinning!!!
Just taking $44 billion and lighting it on fire.
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?"

Elon's sycophants getting pretty tinfoily once again. These morons will never be satisfied lol
Strangely, banks sometimes refuse to deal with people because of things they said, too. Like "I hate paying my bills on time" is a good example.
is it back or is this just another case of the twitter backend struggling for eventual consistency?
who knows!
even the backend people at twitter might not. could be an issue with something no one left at the company knows about, or it could be elon making changes to prod directly without telling anyone. they'll know when he tweets about it, same as everyone else
this man is the biggest idiot there is. here's a little story.
we are all pretty sure that the spark that lit the fuse here was the @elonjet account. the world's richest man was furious that some teenager was using publicly available data to report publicly on the movements of his publicly registered airplane through public airspace (this reaction was caused by amphetamine-induced paranoia).
first he tried to give the kid a tesla, an offer which was sensibly declined.
then he tried to pay him off for reportedly some amount under $10,000, which was also declined. after this rejection elon had a poopants hissy fit and started buying up twitter stock through third parties, accumulating nearly 10% of the company and failing to disclose same in the legally required way. presumably he was planning to gain some amount of leverage with the company and force them to disable the account.
a few months later, it became apparent that elon was doing this.
the twitter board, sensibly not wanting to let musk start dictating terms, agreed on a plan. they would invite elon to join the board, but simultaneously implement measures that would prevent him from owning more than 15% of the company.
when elon heard what the board had in mind, he shit right through the seat of his pants, got blasted on adderall and ketamine, and ordered his lawyers to make an offer to buy the company outright. we all know how it proceeded from there.
but that instigating event, the elonjet account. how he was so mad that anyone could track his jet and see where he was going?
the FAA already has a program to let aircraft owners obfuscate transponder IDs. you apply for the program and after some back and forth you can have an alternate id that is not registered to you in the civil aircraft registry.
https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy
elon musk actually did enroll in this program, but the incompetent yes-men who work for him bungled the job and didn't program the alternate id into the plane correctly, letting the @elonjet account continue to track him.
https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kx8wa/emails-show-spacex-bungled-elon-musks-private-jet-privacy
a month after elon discovered this fuckup, he started buying twitter stock.
the end
big ol' lol, but you know, not. because he did that, and he's done it to others, and he keeps doing it, and no one is going to stop him
and no one is ever going to try to sue him for defamation again after what happened to vernon unsworth
Everyone asking what kind of person would still work at Twitter, now you know.
"Hunt Hunt the woke bird. Skin em alive and eat them bones!!! I do this act for Elon!"
While some longtime users decried the demise of the Twitter brand, a group of zealous X employees swept through the San Francisco headquarters on mission to purge remnants of the old brand.
lmao it just keeps getting dumber and dumber
the whole article is a good read, really covers just how much of a dipshit musk is, and why his stupid 𝕏 app is going to crash and burn like one of his rockets
Just a normal day on Twitter-X-Stormfront spaces
Republicans who hated big tech suddenly go...."Huuummmm maybe big tech Ain't so bad......"
Banning accounts that report on Nazis now

Since the beginning of 2023, neo-Nazi and ex-Marine Christopher Alan Pohlhaus has ramped up his efforts to create a white supremacist enclave in Maine by accumulating rural property, soliciting cryptocurrency donations on Telegram and embarking on a cross-country recruiting trip, according to messages Pohlhaus posted to Telegram.
Very well thought out rebranding
its funny because certain their project manager types, probably the first to get let go, did shit like preventing this and every other rookie thing elon does to the website, idiot proofing what bosses want to implement
Wow that is about as obnoxious as it's possible to be
