Nobody uses Twitter anymore. It's too crowded.

Incel Jesus. :loser:
That's fine since

Musk reportedly brought in "engineers and director-level staff from Tesla" to help assess the layoff lists.
So I expect Twitter to be FSD in very short time. Just like his cars.

Day -11: take over company
Day -10: fire board
Day -6: announce removal of verification
Day -4: fire selected employees including communications team and content moderation
Day 0 onwards: allow unmoderated unverified free "speech" undermining integrity of US mid term elections

Proceeding to plan.

He just blocked Lou Paskalis. And reportedly ranked developers by number of lines of code written, and sacked a percentage of the bottom. Godspeed to all the engineers who handled the most challenging problems. I'm sure you'll find work with a competitor.

Huge advertisers are making public statements about suspending ad placements on Twitter. They are naming themselves.

I have a great function that you might find useful. You can tell it is the best because of all the lines of code. :D

Nothing is more indicative of the free speech of the internet, than absolute nobodies, with no money, no business, no patents, having never done anything of note, telling the worlds richest man, who has done a lot, how wrong he is.

It is a defining trait.

I get it. It's exactly like telling the President that he doesn't know anything, or railing against Steve Jobs for making a bad computer and software, or explaining to a Doctor how stupid he is.

People do this.








It's still funny as fuck.

Steve Jobs didn’t build computers or write software, he was smart enough to hire competent people and add his design and business skills to their work, not go it alone like some lone hero.

You would totally buy a computer built by Steve Jobs and marketed by Steve Wozniak though.

Exactly!
It’s like wanting a car literally built by Henry Ford, from things he found laying around the shop. Elon Musk never built a social network of any sort. Let’s put him in charge to make all the decisions himself!

Henry Ford would have hired some bean counters to test subscription based ideas and fees.
Elon Musk gets in fights with authors over a price hike, loses, drastically changes the price, gets huffy, threatens advertisers like a jilted lover. All in public. Genius!

At this point I think he’s going for the Liz Truss Award.

Untrue.
He built a steam-powered wagon, followed by at least three gas-powered cars in his farm workshop in the 1890s.
