Elon Musk mood, intensity at Twitter worse than in Tesla crisis: staff

Elon Musk has called an earlier stretch at Tesla the "most difficult" of his career. His employees say his time at Twitter is proving worse.

Oof it's 35 degrees celcius at the moment.

Why do people complain about summer not having any recent days over 40 degrees?

A good summer is when the weather stays mostly in the mid to late twenties with lots of dry heat.

If we can put through requests on weather, that'd be my request. Just keep it in the mid to late twenties, dry heat, low to no humidity and the occasional rain to keep everything green and unlikely to burst into flame.

You know why people could only see Elon Musks tweets?

It's because President Biden's Super Bowl tweet got more views than Elon Musk's Super Bowl tweet.

You can't make this up 🤣

Elon Musk’s Cuts at Twitter? A Data Center, Janitors, Some Toilet Paper

Elon Musk has reduced the company to a bare-bones operation, and employees are under a “zero-based budgeting” mandate to justify any spending.

The New York Times

NEW: Elon Musk sent a Signal message ordering his staff to aid in the Twitter Files: "please give Bari [Weiss] full access to everything at Twitter. No limits at all.”

That triggered a frenzy inside Twitter, which was under a decade-old FTC order. IT staff refused to onboard Weiss, worried Twitter would be breaking the law.

Days later, two executives were fired.

"These guys did amazing damage,” a former employee told me of the Musk subordinates running the company.

Twitter brings Elon Musk’s genius reputation crashing down to earth

Musk went down conspiracy rabbit holes and sank Tesla's stock with his behavior. And he was confronted with a chorus of boos in the cradle of the tech industry.

If I'm ambitious tomorrow I'll explain how poor Mike Small couldn't even get one tweet into the latest propaganda effort without making a faceplant error.

No, The FBI Is NOT ‘Paying Twitter To Censor’

Sigh. Look. I want to stop writing about Twitter. I want to write about lots of other stuff. I have a huge list of other stories that I’m trying to get through, but then Elon Musk does someth…

Every morning I wake up and there's a new cluster fuck happening on #twitter.

I guess along with everything else this does prove why profit driven companies should definitely have a comms, pr and legal team that has the ability to make the CEO listen.
