didn't Musk also poo poo talk those fired employees and insinuate they were worthless? I'm guessing the lawyer letter is just to provide an excuse for his failures but does he just think if you worked for Twitter at one point you aren't allowed to work again?

they should sill be loyal to their technoking. this is tech treachery

Greenwald is a transphobe, and a terrible prognosticator because the new blood he hypes inevitably turn out to be racist, but I don't think he's ever said anything blatantly racist himself

at least, not that I remember

I don't have a Twitter account, never have, but I sometimes at work check the Twitter accounts of local emergency/police/gov/utility orgs because in healthcare we rely on knowing when poo poo is going down. And now we don't loving know! It's become a legitimate problem. Even the offline now talk poo poo about what a dumb motherfucker Elon is

It's funny that Elon hosed up Twitter so bad that other reputable companies smell blood and have started circling for the kill

Also funny that they'd be stupid enough to want to make their own Twitter, a horrible toxic money hole

Hmm maybe it's pretty dumb for public services to be dependent on a nazi website suffering from the whims of an rear end in a top hat billionaire and you should find other ways to find out when poo poo is going down

lmfao @ Threads being a way to feed you the maximum amount of ads with the minimum amount of people you follow required to keep to keep you scrolling.

This just sounds like instagram when you forget to switch from For You to Following

Also you can only see comments which is the worst part of IG

It's not just that, what made Twitter special was that it was the main entrenched forum, all its rivals were too small to grab most of it's users' attention. Musk turning it into a far right platform and being its usual idiot, while it may not totally kill it , will at least ruin its uniqueness. Now the whole system is fractured into users tribes. But yes, "innovation in America" is a boring social media platform.

Didn't he also believed that ULA used a sniper to damage one of his SpaceX rocket. "The quieter banG" and all. The man is an idiot.

Pretty generous paywall really, but judging from the 33000 posts I was able to read for free I don't think this is worth paying for.
