lots of frustration being directed at elon but it's also pretty weird that the twitter board just hot potato'd the company onto a dude who clearly did not actually want to own it

i remember at an old job we got acquired and the new CEO showed up for a tour and part way through he just unplugged a bunch of datacentre servers without telling anyone because "they weren't doing anything and were using too much power" posting this for no particular reason

the problem with twitter alternatives is they facilitate meaningful discussion when what i want is to feel like an ant surrounded by other terrible little ants

Multiple sources and Twitter Blind chats now saying that the company has begun to reach out to some people it laid off yesterday asking them to come back. Whoops! 🥴

Do y'all remember that one guy who got rich by investing his family's blood emerald money in one shitty website, shot a car into space, and then lost all the money buying another shitty website?

"Advertise on Twitter or I will unleash my followers on your brand" is a pretty wild bizdev strategy!

the best part of elon musk posting through his troubles owning this website is that it’s clearly bothering him how much pushback he’s getting. he has let us know his weakness and that bullying gets to him

He's not the wealthiest man who ever lived. It's pretty damning that you're so insecure that you get defensive on some rich loser's behalf.

There is nothing better than waking up and enjoying a fresh, steaming cup of my own urine. Such a tangy way to start the day, and it’s scientifically proven to help brain cells grow. If you want to be like me, drink your pee.

how many incidents do you think twitter has in a day, how many do you think they're going to have, how many do you think they have the capacity to respond to now

it seems like elon definitely uses his verified notifications tab which is going to make it really funny when anyone can buy their way onto it

"If I can login to this computer, I possibly still have a job" is not the way we should be learning about this whims of a megalomaniac

I told her "If I can login to this computer, I possibly still have a job". I typed my password, hmm it worked. Then went to my email, ok it seems to still work. Logged out, tried logging in back, ok that's still there.

I know a lot about writing comedy, so I bought a giant, unprofitable shoe store. I fired many employees and decided to charge Stephen King $8 a month to come to my store. Things are going badly and I believe it is the fault of a left-leaning powerful clown in upstate NY.
