RT @quentquarantino An anonymous tweeter pretending to be Eli Lilly & Co spent $8 to put out a fake tweet that insulin is now free. Eli Lilly lost $30 billion dollars in market cap today. This may very well be the best use of $8 in human history

And this is his fault. He failed to properly manage the transition by figuring out who knew what, mapping out coverage, and making sure there was time and motivation to hand everything off. So he is eager to fuck over these people to cover up his incompetence.

The most obvious thing here is that he is planning to fuck over people he just got done fucking over. He just helped put these people out on the street in a recession. Now he wants to bring them back, get something out of them, and then fire them AGAIN.

If you need a laugh this morning, Elon's idea of curbing abuse for Twitter Blue was predicated on "If you get suspended I keep your $8" and I think after a twelve-hour session with puppets and background music he finally grasped the idea of "credit card chargebacks."

Scoop from within Twitter: small things are breaking, not enough engineers to fix them. Noticed that notification counts are not showing? The BE service powering it is down since Thursday. A bug was filed, but the team that would fix it is full on with verification work.

When you share a tweet, the URL copied contains a parameter ?t=XYZ. This is the encoded user ID of the person who shared this tweet (aka your user ID). Twitter can track this way who views the link that you shared elsewhere. To maintain privacy, manually delete this parameter.

Elon’s “pedo guy” gaffe is memorable because it remains one of the few examples of him trying to work the room on his own instead of biting someone else’s joke or posting the rolling laugh-cry emoji. and all he could do was smear an actual hero as a sex offender. lol and lmao

Since purchasing Twitter for $44 billion, Elon Musk has reportedly attempted to cut costs by eliminating some 3,700 jobs. The Onion asked several former employees how they felt about being laid off, and this is what they said. bit.ly/3WYTNX0

I realize this has to be sarcasm but for those that think this should be a thing maybe you should verify facts and not take someone else's word for it without doing any research.

Do you genuinely not understand why changing the meaning of a well-established UI element that is a core part of Twitter's brand might confuse users? Did you not predict this? We sure did.

Nelson "Parody is Impossible Now" Minar (@nelson)Fri, 11 Nov 2022 22:14 GMT

Few notes. If you teach your user base, verification means something specific, it will be hard for them to unlearn it. We learned that it's rare for a verified account trying to phish us. Changing the meaning of the check is a security issue.

So, does Elon Musk's new paid Twitter Blue verification system lead to more scams? 🤔 Hmmm, I don't know, let's ask this Verified Twitter account over here, he seems rather official.🔵Tens of thousands of people seem to agree... ☝️🧐

This is why it's not fun to work on established products. You have unwritten contracts with your users and sometimes both sides are not aware of them until they are broken. Build new verticals under the same brand, that's how you kick off new greenfield products.
