the thing is you can absolutely build a sustainable model around fleecing people for poo poo theyd look at for free but Musk is deeply stupid. I dont care what nonsense his publicist is paid to copy and paste into press releases.

I think its hilarious that people are now freaking out about twitters login requirements.

Ive never used the site or had an account, but apparently this is the only place to get things like wildfire updates? school board announcements? police bulletins?

hockey forums are going nuts because they cant click thru info anymore.

its just amazing. people are so loving goofy. burn all social media down and live like its the 80s you fucks. if you cant live your life without visiting any of the big socials fb, insta, Reddit, TikTok, twits then you really gotta reevaluate your life.
all the old methods of mass media information distribution like newspapers, radio, and television have been hollowed out by capital for decades, leaving them unequipped to fill the void of Twitter.

CEOs that are hired this way are specifically there to absorb criticism and then get fired

While we can't discount the possibility she's a complete fool, if she isn't, she should have a golden parachute built into her contract

No no no. You see "Musk said he will transition to the role of chief technology officer" so he's doing his job right now, breaking things and posting through it.

when everyone in hawaii got an emergency broadcast that a ballistic missile was inbound and to take shelter immediately THIS IS NOT A DRILL the way I and many other people first learned that it wasnt real was from twitter.

it turns out that all the systems that used to be around for disseminating emergency information to the public have been dismantled or left to rot because they cost money and twitter was doing it for free anyway.

Elon would never hire someone just to take the fall for his bad decisions because
1) then people would be talking about someone other than him
2) all of his decisions are perfect why would anyone have anything bad to say about them
