It's incredibly funny to be a 52 year old billionaire and care about how many followers you have on a dying social media platform.

Why would you need followers if you had friends? oh

apparently x now makes you follow at least one account when you're setting up your twttr and elon is the first suggested account so every bot on the platform is following him

he's still mad about this

quote:

At 2:36 on Monday morning, James Musk sent an urgent message to Twitter engineers.

“We are debugging an issue with engagement across the platform,” wrote Musk, a cousin of the Twitter CEO, tagging “@here” in Slack to ensure that anyone online would see it. “Any people who can make dashboards and write software please can you help solve this problem. This is high urgency. If you are willing to help out please thumbs up this post.”

When bleary-eyed engineers began to log on to their laptops, the nature of the emergency became clear: Elon Musk’s tweet about the Super Bowl got less engagement than President Joe Biden’s.

Biden’s tweet, in which he said he would be supporting his wife in rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles, generated nearly 29 million impressions. Musk, who also tweeted his support for the Eagles, generated a little more than 9.1 million impressions before deleting the tweet in apparent frustration.

More first time ad revenue payments are dropping today for a wider net of much smaller accounts. Just from 30 seconds of searching, seeing averages in the $30-50 range. Doesn't seem too bad on its face, but apparently these are for revenues going back to February

I'm blocked by a few hundred accounts and every single one is a reactionary - they're terribly thin skinned. And Musk's replies are full of a bunch of them begging him not to go through with the change.

It's a bad move in general but it'd be a lot of fun for me since I use twitter almost exclusively to poo poo on awful people. It's not going to happen just like when blue checks were going to be pay only but then he realized how verification is actually important and backtracked.

How did you get the i/o guy to block you? I dunno how you are able to trigger all these people into blocking you, they just argue with me for two days straight.
