It blows my mind that any official account with any government, or corporate entity, or major celebrity still has anything to do with Twitter what-so-ever at this point.

What the gently caress does it take for people to delete their accounts?!

Orgs move slow and are probably waiting to see how Elon's plan to step aside as CEO pans out first.

So he's hiring for all of the roles he just fired people from? Is he doing research for a book on how to lose $44B as fast as humanly possible?

He’s remaking the 1985 classic movie Brewster’s Millions.

I might be wrong about this, but didn't alleged sexpest Elon Musk recently unban alleged child molester and multiple rapist Donald Trump, a close personal friend of actual paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and also unban actual sex-trafficker Andrew Tate? And fire most of the moderation staff that removed CSA content?

The most disappointing thing was how many engineering schools went along with it, sending teams out to compete in these hyperloop competions. But also any and all engineering designs submitted for these contests would then be owned by The Boring Company.

True, but this is offset by Elons being a billionaire and thus he is almost certainly an expert on where to find CSAM

Not digging the reality where Twitter stays up and becomes explicitly political in favor of people who regularly encourage violence against minority groups. Reminded of

quote:

Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views

Me: Holy poo poo! You were censored for wanting lower taxes?

Con: LOL no...no not those views

Me: So....deregulation?

Con: Haha no not those views either

Me: Which views, exactly?

Con: Oh, you know the ones

Twitter is a blowhorn and still integrated incredibly well with most modern websites.

Before the internet there was the letters sections of newspapers and magazines. It a thing from the Manchester evening guardian to the Bangalore duck hunting monthly newsletter, where every single publication on earth will have a history where two guys spent decades writing letters and arguing with each other digging deeper and deeper, and it only ended when one of them died.
