Deptfordx posted:People have been working from home for years at this point. There must be tons of employees who've joined since then who have always worked from home and don't live in the same State as any with Twitter offices in. They laid off half the employees last week surely they didn't kill half the offices that stuff takes time to sell. So while they might not have an office right now there's an open cube.

Strong Sauce posted:the twitter office in SF is huge, and before the pandemic a large percentage worked in that office (it is pretty nice, i've been in their old office and that one was already pretty big). so in SF yes. else where, specially outside of US? *shrug* If everyone had been WFH up until now, it's likely that all that unused space was rented out to other businesses. (watch Elon try to break multiple long-term commercial leases).

All of Twitter isn’t paywalled yet it makes no sense Elon is acting as if anyone who is critical of his Twitter Blue plans just doesn't want to pay money, so if you want to keep on posting from your current position, you have to pay $8 Xakura posted:But it's not the posts that are verified, it's just the leftists in question. It is corrupt because Elon believes that nobodies were jumped ahead of their station in life by being verified despite being nobodies in his view There's probably a variety of supporting reasons, and I imagine they're all awful

Elmo sees the verified badge as an endorsement from Twitter and a higher elite class. If someone is corrupt it’s because they don’t deserve such “elevated” placement. Dr. Seuss predicted all of this with the star bellied sneeches

Endorph posted:loling at all the people in the replies acting like this is some incredible own. it doesnt even relate to what the guy is talking about. the guy doesnt care about keeping his own checkmark, hes talking about people using fake checkmarks to scam people. How many $8 bucks is Musk going to have to pay when Nintendo with a market cap of 7 trillion decides to sue twitter because people keep impersonating them ruining their very carefully family friendly image.

If they didn't take advantage of WFH to not renew a contract/dump/sell-off as much office space as possible then WTF were they doing?

Despite the massive regulatory risk exposure and the worryingly expedient massacre of capital this is still progressing exactly like a concerned netizen convincing someone to give them ops in IRC or becoming a mod on a webforum and it turns out they are an insane 16 year old and their ideas run counter to everything about the medium.

Do what if someone makes a fake Tony LaRussa account, buys the checkmark, and pretends to be him again? I’m pretty sure that breaks whatever settlement they had with him.

Strong Sauce posted:you think elon cares? $8 I think that's the real crux of it. The whole thing, starting with him offering to buy Twitter, seems like a tantrum. And the $8 posting is just him going "I'm not mad ur mad  "Honestly, at this point, I have trouble buying the theory that his offer was meant to boost his shares. It just all seems like a tantrum.

Bad news everyone, Muskrat just fired all of us at SA. This is just as confusing to me as it is to you as I wasn't aware that I worked for Twitter and you are probably only realising that as well. See you all at the class action lawsuit I guess.
