how is it that other legit multi million/billion dollar tech companies can have DM/PM leak without screenshotting them, but SA might have legit secure messages?

is it radium spaghetti code protecting us?

I think the interesting question is, what is the next shiny jangling thing that will distract Elon and become his new obsession distracing him from Twitter?

I hope it is fentanyl

My annoyance with all this is that twitter was actually somewhat useful for extremely breaking news stories and following various journos and commentators. Now that it is devolved into a toxic hellhole (even moreso, that is) there’s no real replacement. It’s an almost impossible thing to replicate twitter at its peak usefulness with a combination of useful information and free cost.

Snapchat seems the least lovely option now tbh (I still have no interest in going there). But the company seems to be run by people who aren’t trying to destroy society at least.

Man I just can't imagine the potential security implications if you are inviting aggrieved ex-employees back who still have very little in the way of actual security. If they are given really generous contracts to come back maybe it would be ok but still, lol at what they could slip in there.

I was listening to the Opening Arguments podcast this morning and they were talking about how bad musk has tanked tesla’s stock to buy a lovely vastly overpriced company that he won’t be able to make the debt payments on and it is just amazing to have all the incredible fuckups laid out so succinctly.

Tesla stock is down more than 30% and almost surely there will be a big shareholder lawsuit to address musk’s dumbfuckery. It’s almost a completely own goal fuckup.

Oh and on top of all that they figure musk has probably shaved about $100billion off his net worth, lol.

Imagine being one of his ex wives/girlfriends and realizing he's read all your DM's, even the deleted ones.

This is what I thought when thinking about trolling him, I didn’t have any DMs on there but my phone number was linked and in the million to one chance he decides to make my life hell, ugh no thanks.

I doubt I would hit on the perfect troll post to cause it but it could potentially happen where a billionaire doxxes me and sends his legion of brain damaged fans after me

honestly doing more than sending rovers to and probes past/to orbit around mars to gather information, like we've been doing, is loving stupid. there's never going to be a human space colony because space is loving brutal and its approximately an eternity away to the nearest planet that could potentially maybe become habitable if we pour an endless amount of money into it

The combination of radiation, a low oxygen content habitat atmosphere and constant near starvation food level will result in the perfect brain damaged audience for musk’s lovely humour so I am surprised he isn’t in more of a rush to get there.

Is it not far more likely to be the case that she’s angling for a promotion to potentially a C-level position? The way she’s running interference for Elon - as you say - will no doubt mark her out as being a “strong team player”. At the moment she’s pretty much all he’s got in terms of internal support, it seems. Elon’s not going to fire someone who was photographed by a “colleague” “sleeping” in the office to get his latest brainfart delivered, he’s more likely to take notice of her, I would’ve thought.

We can debate the ignominy of someone overtly climbing the ladder on public display, but to her credit it’s probably going to pay dividends for her personally.

Oh it’s a fine career move but it just makes you an rear end in a top hat. Usually they’re fine with that though.

It’s a mental disorder. Most people make a few million, they gently caress off, retire, do what they want to do in life. The same urge that drives billionaires to make a billion dollars in the first place, prevents them from ever doing this.

MySpace Tom vs Zuck and Elon.

One is living on tropical islands doing photography, the other two imagine themselves as leaders of the Fourth Reich.

Outliers like Notch who wasn’t driven to make billions (I don’t think) but happened to be lovely and/or have mental disorders that money cannot cure as well after lucking into a massive payday.
