Booty Pageant posted:goon project gofundme to buy twitter 1. Buy Twitter 2. Fire everyone, liquidate the hardware. 3. Redirect Twitter.com to forums.something awful.com 4. Any user that signs up via that redirect is added to a clone of the forums that functions the same but is only populated by Twitter redirected users. 5. Normal SA users (us) can see and post in the zoo forums for a one-time  6. Twitter users can’t see and aren’t told of the regular forums. Boom. Everyone wins

Fyi Elon is a major public figure so you can just Google "Elon musk deleted tweets" to find an archive of what he deletes. https://polititweet.org/figure?account=44196397

Elon Musk's takeover was so poorly planned the company got locked out of its own Twitter account, report says https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-staff-locked-out-of-twitter-during-musk-takeover-report-2022-11?international=true&r=US&IR=T During Elon Musk's chaotic Twitter takeover, login details for the company's official account weren't shared with new leadership, according to reporting by Platformer. The $44 billion acquisition of the social media company has been disorganized, according to employees and experts alike, with reports of mass layoffs that were in some cases reversed and employees left "in limbo" about their working status. Sources told Platformer, a newsletter run Casey Newton, former editor of The Verge, the login details for the official @Twitter social account were among the details lost in the fray. The Twitter team finally accessed its account on Wednesday, after about 12 days, Platformer reported, though the account has not posted since October 13.

Yeah every software engineer who’s worked corporate for more than a year can tell you that getting a new manager is like a 70% chance you get a blustering idiot who doesn’t know how to code and you’re not sure how they ever got hired, they don’t understand the job or the product but they have some Extremely Important Ideas they need you to get right on top of, stat. And their deadlines are about 80% too short but if you tell them this they’ll write you up for underperforming. This when you realize there’s a great deal of people in the world who are unswayed by rational conversation about mundane but provable topics like “does the product have this feature” and also have a complete surefire belief at their own business acumen. Even actual failures in front of their faces do not make them pull back. This is stupidity in a nutshell. You don’t need any other motive to explain Elon. Or nearly any other remarkable failure in the industry where something obvious just crashes and burns into a garbage pile.

Musk has all the negative aspects of engineers (the arrogance, the self confidence that they are an expert outside their field) without any of the positives (that they actually build useful poo poo occasionally, that they are sometimes highly qualified/actual experts in whatever they are designing). Great combo

It's kind of questionable why Elon does a lot of things because he's a walking chaos elemental who is driven by whim and various controlled substances. At the point where he was being sued for specific enforcement of the contract he signed to buy Twitter, his realistic options were to close the deal or walk away with a settlement that absolves him of purchasing the company but be otherwise down maybe $10 billion. He waived diligence, his defenses were being undercut by revelations during discovery, the court was not buying his nonsense and had made clear it had the power to compel enforcement of the contract to the T. Did he cave in because he figured he wasn't gonna win and at least he'd get Twitter? Did he do an extra rail of coke that day and decide no gently caress it I really do want Twitter after all? We don't know!

He decided buying Twitter would make him look like less of an idiot.
