Coming soon* the Tesla Land Systems m-420 main battle tank with full self warcriming technology.

The batteries are faulty, and the resulting clouds of poisonous fumes are ruled to be a violation of the Geneva Gas Protocol. Also the targeting system for the main gun was poorly stolen from a series of stack overflow posts and cobbled together by a series of unpaid interns.

Musk was represented in the twitter deal by Skadden. This was not a case of Musk having lovely lawyers that Twitters counsel ran circles around. Musk's lawyers were just as good as Twitters but it didn't matter because Musk was a lovely client.

I'm pushing back on this because "Musk had bad lawyers" gives him too much of a pass on his own incompetence and arrogance.

IIRC he purposely went against the advice of his lawyers multiple times. I remember reading that they were aghast that he waived due diligence despite them warning him repeatedly that it was one of the stupidest things you could do.

Can you blame him? It's really, really, really loving shameful what he did. The fact that he's super mad about how everyone's making fun of his completely shameful behavior is completely natural and would count as the most humanizing thing he's done in forever if he was actually loving human. Of course, the better choice would have been to simply be less desperately and terribly shameful for even one day, but with no one around to resist him, he's just gonna keep stepping on those rakes.

Hacked accounts are as much (if not more) of an issue for Twitter itself as the account holder.

Also: making basic security tier-based will immediately alienate any and all security professionals that still gave the Musk/Twitter show any benefit of the doubt. But that ship had mostly sailed already.

twitter supports app or token based 2FA in addition to SMS so calling out SMS specifically sounds like they just want to save a few cents by not having to pay for SMS delivery to non-paying users

sounds like you'd still be able to use the other, better, forms of 2FA on a free account

Revenue sharing is live. No you can't see it, Elon will let you know when you have enough.

The thing is I can't tell if that's actually what happened or if I'm making it up.

As much as he’s trying to play it off as an ironic joke I do genuinely believe that he sincerely was never happier than that moment. He’s sincerely proud of that tweet. So much so that this is the second time he’s tweeted that image today
