there's a fancy market at the bottom floor of twitter's building that's pretty nice. a little pricey but they also have places to buy lunch/dinner and sit down and eat. would be a shame if twitter dying also kills this place.

between the attempted us foreign policy interference he was doing with taiwan & ukraine earlier this year and the starlink fit he threw, combined with his new negligence with costing lockmart investors a shitton of money, i feel like the DoD/MIC is simply waiting until they don't need starlink to turbofuck musk. i mean I'm not the pentagon, but if i were, I'd be pissed as hell at him right now and wanting to make an example out of that kind of behavior

especially if he's already given up operational control of spacex entirely to shotwell and probably gonna get hit in the money by the FTC doing all this dumb poo poo, it's like, why not?

The DOD could literally just push to nationalize Starlink if they wanted, musk is clearly a danger to himself and others and is not sane

Don’t really need to screen cap those type of tweets from him because he keeps telling us how not mad he is.

I bet you right this second he has a new tweet asking the public whether or not he increased the number of lmaos per hour.

Edit: He not only deleted that tweet but has a new poll asking if Twitter is more fun, less fun or lmao 🔥🔥.

I can’t believe a man this lame exists.

its open to everyone but twitter is most likely the biggest feeder for that store.

tbh i'm not sure if twitter ends up shutting down or even leaving. but if they do that place is probably dead.

when twitter moved in there, they got a sweetheart deal from the city and they basically got a huge tax break for moving into that building.
before the pandemic, their tax break had just expired and jack was actually thinking about leaving sf and eventually making twitter purely remote. thanks to the pandemic they basically accelerated that time frame.

basically no one is really building offices and there's not much around 8th street when most of downtown/tech salesforc is focused between 1-4th st. so even if you're a new company wanting new office space you'll probably rent some around 1st-4th rather than into twitter's old space. if twitter leaves it is likely that market may not survive. i could be wrong and i think there were some huge apartment complexes that were built out that might be able to support it but i'm sure that market (it's called "the market") thought it survived the pandemic until elon walked in with his kitchen sink.

He's going to be sued into the ground. The FTC should no poo poo put this poo poo on lockdown. It's very clear his version of twitter is a threat to public safety.

...Does any one else have a wierd feeling about this week? Like the Red Wave being such a wet fart stopped a lot of plans from materializing, and regressives all over the world are in full panic mode?

Musky had that wierd sit down with Putin a few months ago and suddenly becomes Ace Negotiator and wants to finish buying Twitter. The Russians panic retreat from Kherson once the GOP falls apart...idk something is bugging me about all this.

Musk was not in full burn it down mode till later into this week, which makes me think he was supposed to be the paid for Regressive disinformation bureau if the GOP won big, but now all those plans are up in flames.

There's a very real risk the companies he has shares in and manage tank because their valuation is based on Elon being "the world's biggest genius buisnessman" and this entire twitter debacle shows that's entirely untrue.

You know, I’d been pretty down in the dumps with the world being on fire and how stupid everything is with that, and then Trump and how stupid everything was with that, and then COVID and how stupid everything was with that, and then the Z invasion and how stupid everything is with that…

But between Russia retreating, the midterms going okay, Bitcoin taking another poo poo and elong yeeting twitter into the sun and the nonstop laughs there, things kinda seem like they might not be that bad after all.

:unsmith:

Probably just a blip tho. I’m sure we’ll be back to the usual horrorshow in no time.

Yep. I remember how worried people were about him being able to control and steer the narrative on just about everything happening in the world due to the role Twitter has played the past decade but he's spent his time at Twitter flushing that down the turlet and exposing himself as no mastermind who can only get mad on the internet.

I'm a tad uncomfortable with people calling twitter a vital communication network tbh, it's a dangerously unsafe platform which, in the English speaking world at least, is easily replaced by press releases or a routers feed on Instagram and this was the case long before Musk took over.

I had had a 10k+ follower account banned for the crime of *checks notes* being repeatedly being mass reported for being a British lesbian supporting trans rights and I have very little sympathy for employees of twitter or their bleats about their human rights team, when humans said 3 times that I was still permabanned, because it turns out it's against twitter rules and "sexist" to point out that it was wrong, that on the day in parliament where they read out the names of women murdered by domestic violence, that trans names were deliberately left out.

Twitter is not really all that popular, in the grand scheme of things. Despite being formed just a couple years after Facebook it only has about as many accounts as Pinterest and active users who do anything but follow and like are in the low single digits. This is the problem that Elon Musk thinks he can solve by integrating Paypal or w/e into the platform. Sucks for the content creators and artists who have made Twitter their main social media site of choice but it hardly has a strangehold there.
