A must-read on @[email protected] from Linette Lopez, one of the journalists that Musk has suspended from Twitter.

She has covered his business activities with a critical eye for years.

Elon Musk was always a visionary jerk, bad boss at SpaceX, Tesla. But it won't work at Twitter.

Elon Musk has used the same playbook at all of his companies from Tesla to SpaceX. Sadly for him, his model will cause Twitter to go down in flames.

You can't download your Twitter account data if you're suspended, nor access your DMs. I had a bad feeling and downloaded my entire account this morning. Glad I did.
Guess I'll be spending more time over here. 😂
Hi guys!

In the olden Twitter days, the answer was "Twitter set the rules, so as to navigate the line between maximizing engagement for advertizers, but also generally (but not always) trying to steer engagement away from hateful content"

The new rules are "maximizing engagement at all costs, with engagement steered away from those who don't pay"

That's all it is.
