What does/did it say? I don’t even see “this tweet was deleted”, I see “this page is down”

Edit: it loads if I remove the querystring

Maybe we should try it, but Elon should be on site. We drop one, and he lets us know if we need to drop another. Keep this up until he stops signalling.

he's going to push away both potential and existing Tesla drivers into the arms of his competitors, and most of those customers aren't going to come back even if Tesla is severed from Musk.

This is accurate for many reasons, not just because of the musk taint. They make more profit on their cars than any other automaker, yet they keep removing parts to shave a penny here and there. First it was rain sensors, then passenger seat lumbar support, then radar, now parking sensors. They've never had that little light in your mirror that tells you when someone's in your blind spot. Teslas are expensive cars, not luxury cars. IMO the only reason they make sense when compared to the competition is their charging network, which is objectively the most reliable and matured. It's one thing they absolutely nailed. And they've announced they're going to open it up to other cars, so that one compelling reason to stay is going away.

Imagine giving that company money for device with a microphone and a camera that is specifically marketed for it's ability to follow you around a room.

Sometimes it's more like:

1. You sit at the bar with someone and talk about Thing
2. That person that isn't you searches for Thing
3. Facebook knows your phone was next to their phone for a while, so you might both be interested in Thing
4. Facebook shows you ads for Thing


It's definitely happened where my wife and I go next door, we both leave our phones at home, talk about Thing, and she sees ads for Thing on instagram. For me, that's the real head-scratcher. I can't think of how they would relate something to her when she has no electronic devices on her. It's not for something generic either, it'd be like a very specific lego set or something.

I kinda doubt anything for the twitter application was hosted on-site. It was probably some internal tooling server. "Wow look how robust twitter is! It still works even when our front-end build pipeline is unreachable!!"

It means “here is some attention I have gifted you” and people receiving it feel good in different ways depending on the context.

I think it’d be tough to know how widespread it was. A few people complaining on the internet probably weren’t charged enough to swing the difference in a financial report. How many people would have to have been impacted for it to make a difference?
