I saw a claim that the Twitter policy enforcement teams are not informed of his latest brain droppings ahead of time, and instead are literally finding out about them the same way you are: via his public tweets. Then they scramble to try to interpret and enforce the mad king's latest idea.

So the same poo poo he's been doing for years at Tesla?

He must be so shocked that his smarmy bullshit isn't working this time.

80% of their outsourced staff, but yeah that's a significant amount.

Yeah, realised after I posted it wasn't full-time staff.

But, a quick google tells me that Musk has fired at least 3800 of the 7500 full-time employees and 4400 of the 5500 contract employees. So, that's 8200 out of 13000 total staff.

Which is 63%. Let's call it ⅔ of everyone.

This is stupid and you're stupid. There is a huge difference between "wide selection of peer reviewed studies say A and single study thats been eviscerated for lovely test procedure and thoroughly debunked says B" and something like twitter can definitely hire someone, or rather a pool of someones, who can tell the difference or at least know who to call to tell the difference.

But if we assume all things are equal and there is no difference between people fighting for equality and literal nazis, then Twitter comes off looking very bad.

As funny as it is, I doubt that the pizza box did him in. There really isn't a good source for it apart from some Twitter randos.

Knowing the prick is in the country is one thing. Getting his precise address is another.

Thankfully, all they had to do was call up the pizza place and ask them where they'd sent their most recent deliveries to.

Yes, a lot of people are mad that a woman said "I would like transgender and non-binary people to no longer exist" and that buying the new hot wizard game puts money into her already massive pockets to allow her to keep funding people and organizations who want to make her dream of trans people no longer existing a reality.

That's exactly what gamergate was about this whole time :rolleyes:

I wasn't really paying attention to the world of gaming when gamer gate happened and still don't really know what happened beyond a woman daring to exist and "ethics in gaming journalism" becoming a catchphrase.

Any time I've tried to ask it devolved into huge slapfights. So please, nobody try to explain it now.

But I don't need to know the finer points of the casus belli when one side is flying loving swastikas.
