It feels like an oddly long few days since Elon has said or done something egregiously stupid. Either we're due for some tearsofjoy emoji hijinks by tomorrow or he's not quite living up entirely to this being the new Trump thing in month 2. Ol' Donny never gave you more than a 48 hour period of not being automatic front page news making awful to please the MAGA base somehow when he was still tweeting away.

I wonder if we will have another episode of Twitter Files Friday this week

Social media biases hard right, reality biases hard left. Facebook, Twitter, reddit will all immediately shove fascist poo poo down your throat.

Regarding Elon, I think he's just waiting for Kanye to calm down so he can get in the spotlight again.

another reason why Musky is as lame beta non poster.

he lets other true main characters be protags. bitch justpost, they go crazy you go worse.

On Tuesday, roughly 40 brands had ads appears on the white nationalist pages, according to a review conducted by The Post. Those included the Voices of the Civil Rights Movement, a Comcast and NBC-led effort to honor the legacy of racial justice pioneers. Media companies including USA Today and Morning Brew were also among the advertisers whose content appeared on the pages.

USA Today spokesperson Lark-Marie Antón said: “We are reaching out to Twitter immediately as this obviously does not align with our values or mission.”

My day job is directly in this field, and this kind of thing is code loving red for an advertising platform that cares about brand safety. Like "holy poo poo get some dev out of bed at 2AM to update the exclusion lists across the board"

Eh, bezos is relatively smart, so I would bet this is his play to cancel Twitter advertising and avoid the chud microscope if they end up getting any punitive legislation traction

bezos sucks probably more than elon somehow but he isnt a complete idiot. washington post is allowed to post occasional critiques of amazon because they want to remain "a serious publication." if they were an obvious mouthpiece for the owner's big company it would harm that standing.

still i bet such pieces are all carefully positioned and edited to approval of some committee or individual who understands the game

Elon delayed it after everyone laughed at the first part and pointed out it incriminates Trump, not Biden.

Apparently Matt Taibbi was 'shocked' that one of twitters remaining senior lawyers was fact-checking the 'scoop' Elon emailed him because it was his job as a corporate lawyer to do that stuff regarding external communications. That's the excuse for the delay.

It's caused a 'scandal' on twitter alongside the fact that elon jumped into a Ian Miles Cheong thread complaining that the Wikipedia page for the 'revelations' was being deleted because it wasn't noteworthy.

No, they’re quietly letting it fade away because it was stupid as gently caress back in 2020 and it’s still stupid as gently caress. Musk likely had Ngo or some other idiot in his ear telling him what an own it would be to release twitter’s secret info on Hunter’s laptop (because they really believe Hunter’s laptop is damning) so Musk agreed but it’s all just “meh” and nothing new so everyone is going to pretend like it never happened.
