So, this week we learned from the #Bluesky CEO that they are considering targeted ads and more VC investment. But, we are assured, it will only be good targeted ads, and good billionaires pumping in money. 🤔

Feel like we've seen this movie before. Rhymes with enkittenification. 🤷

The billionaire class is trying to buy the election for Trump. Do not let them do so.

I always envisaged that removing Australia and New Zealand from an internet app would be through rational choice. That weird unit can't even not fuck up properly

Inside Twitter, Musk occupies a 10th-floor conference room with a staging area. There, guests wait for the Twitter CEO — sometimes for more than an hour — before being called in.

Meeting guests are instructed not to speak until Musk does.

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.

Elon Musk is stepping down as CEO of that app https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/elon-musk-resign-twitter-ceo-1234649855/

Elon Musk Declares He ‘Will Resign’ as Twitter CEO

After saying he’d “abide” by the results of a Twitter poll asking him to step down, Musk says he’ll stay true to his word. But there’s a catch.

.@drewharwell and I investigated the incident with the supposed Musk stalker and it appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the jet tracking account. The incident occurred 26 miles from the airport, a full day after ElonJet placed the plane in Los Angeles, and the alleged stalker had been monitoring and attempting to make contact with Grimes for years https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details-of-musk-stalking-incident/ #twitterexodus #twittermigration #elonmusk #news

Musk blamed a Twitter account for an alleged stalker. Police see no link.

The incident last week underscored how Elon Musk’s personal concerns can influence his governance of a social media platform used by hundreds of millions of people.
