I've kinda stopped keeping up with this thread for the past few days/week. Why exactly has the sentiment tipped so much to "Twitter's dying" today? My only exposure to Twitter is embeds on these dead forums.

75% of employees were fired today because they weren't 'hardcore' enough to follow Mush's twitter2.0 idea. This encludes entire devops teams that keep different parts of the site working.

The 600 people left are trapped with H1B visas

His absolutely childlike zoomer sense of humor despite being a grown rear end man completely reminds me of someone I know to a disturbing degree.

Please, he has no sense of humour and couldn’t make an original joke if his life depended on it.

This is what he thinks other people find funny and he’s mimicking it, it’s why every image macro he posts is stolen. He doesn’t know why people like ligma jokes, but he’s seen people laughing at them.

In what kind of magical world do people live, so that they expect something as complex as twitter to go on forever without an hiccup?

The first serious problem will kill twitter if nobody is there to fix it (and knowing how to fix it).

The average person is an idiot moron who doesn’t know how anything works (and doesn’t want to know). Their nephew built a website in his spare time, why does twitter need so many employees?

lmao twitter blue has so far only made 0.01% of his yearly interest payment on the initial loan to buy the company. surely pushing it as hard as he has is the correct business decision for this giga brain genius.

He also cut the valuation of the company in half the other day, site is now worth less than half of what he paid for it

https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/26/23657182/elon-musk-twitter-employee-stock-grants-valuation

quote:

Elon Musk has put a $20 billion value on Twitter, making up less than half of the $44 billion Musk paid to acquire the site, according to reports from Platformer and The Information. In a memo sent to staff viewed by Platformer’s Zoë Schiffer, Musk reportedly says that employees will receive stock grants based on Twitter’s $20 billion valuation.

So clearly he's this generation's best big business boy

Oh goddamnit what the gently caress is this? Is this one of my browser plugins being weird, or does Musk genuinely think the Shiba is still funny in the year 20-loving-23?



Edit: Yeah the loading screen also has the dog. Musk trying really hard to ingratiate himself to the vaunted memer community I guess.

The twitter loading screen also is the shiba:

Yeah, that's why there's a 2nd logo next to his checkmark. The company account is paying for his blue subscription, like Netflix is paying for blue for a bunch of their shows/movies and they all have the netflix logo next to the blue check.

i'm pretty sure the technicality is that the emerald mine is just something elon lied about a couple of times to give his backstory some zhuzh and never really existed, but imo the fact that he thought that his dad owning shares in an emerald mine was a cool lie that would make him seem cooler is more important than whether or not it was ever true.

elon's the sole source of the emerald mine claims so why should anybody else bother proving it.

yeah, his father traded their private jet for shares in an emerald mine company

https://www.news24.com/news24/bi-archive/how-elon-musks-family-came-to-own-an-emerald-mine-2018-2

quote:

There, the two South Africans ran into a group of Italians who, as it happened, were in the market for an airplane. Errol named his price, and a deal was done.

“So we went to this guy's prefab and he opened his safe and there was just stacks of money and he paid me out, £80,000, it was a huge amount of money,” he said.

Standing with the cash in his hand, Errol was made another offer he couldn’t refuse: Would he like to buy half an emerald mine for half of his new riches?

“I said, ‘Oh, all right’. So I became a half owner of the mine, and we got emeralds for the next six years.”

also, straight from the dipshit's mouth
