Basically Twitter has automated self-recovery to the point that Musk could order a second data center to be shut down and it'd still muddle along with reduced capacity. It'll only die if/when they start making breaking changes to the deployed code.

It's kinda frustrating because it just reinforces to all these shitheads that yOu DiDn'T nEeD aLl ThOsE oVeRpAiD cOdDlEd LeFtY eNgInEeRs, SeE iT wOrKs FiNe

that “intern” guy putting out an open call to do his work for him is exactly the kind of poo poo tier senior dev that floated upwards early and got comfy doing jack poo poo that of course elon would mistake for actual talent. the fact he thinks this is a 1 liner javascript change you can make without seeing the source shows he has no idea what he’s gotten into.

Things could be going better

Most of the stuff that right wingers got banned off the site for were illegal to start with?

You have to be posting either some incredibly heinous poo poo or direct, actionable threats for that to happen.

His whole thing is him wanting to be considered funny. He surrounds himself with comedians because he wants to be like them. He also really wants Nathan Fielder to be his friend, and is chasing his approval.
It will never happen though, because he isn't funny, and is really socially awkward.

Elon does this a lot lol. Back when I was writing for Hard Drive we got into poo poo with him because he kept screenshotting articles and then removing the logo+author name to pass it off as a meme he made. When our editor-in-chief called him out he claimed that the jokes actually sucked and if we didn't want them stolen they shouldn't resemble memes. His response might actually be the closest I've ever seen to a funny Elon tweet

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1531319938195021824?s=20&t=2PffFRYjeBMogzkuDdMxNQ

Edit: he also deleted the infringing tweet because he's a pussy
