Twitter C/D

it worked for the u.s. government!

that Stamos thread is v otm, esp the fact that Musk seems not to realize Twitter operates in multiple legal jurisdictions

hes just talking its what hes good at telling people what they want to hear

It also sounds totally smart when you just name a round number of jobs you're going to cut

Genuinely shocked he didn't got with 69 million users paying $4.20 a month.

go with

I will buy everyone here a Coke if he actually goes through with the takeover.

on the internal chat there's a channel called #stonks full of idiots like me with no inside knowledge but who are watching things very closely for obvious reasons, and sentiment that the deal will close, and that the deal with close at $54.20 in particular, is definitely on the wane.

reasons include the current tesla stock price (lmao) and https://hindenburgresearch.com/twitter/

(this could all be motivated reasoning/wishful thinking)

not sure ive had a reply do numbers like this, wonder if someone posted it somewhere, twitter should have a button that shows you if your tweet is embedded on a website

lmao you losers wouldve been using this picture as proof of a declining society if youd been around back then

guy who spends all his waking hours blabbering about what life was like before soy

its so crazy and dumb and also bad

I always wonder how much these soy people overlap with creepy white dudes obsessed with Japan.

admittedly this one seems to a slightly more special full-throated british imperialism booster. but anyway, lagoon otm how did we end up with racist psycho "God, King, and Country" imperialists publicly horning for barefoot hippie yanks?

lol

i'd like a version of twitter where elon just provides technical support in this way, building the foundations of relationships

Unfortunately it doesn't work yet. My tweets are still poorly viewed

lmao the ceo just fired the head of product and the head of revenue.

loving every minute with this damn crew

I know. Their heads just rolled past.

Devin Nunes has been twisting in the wind, torn between loyalty to the Bossman being back on the Twitter, and his beloved Troof Social, which doesn't care WHO you are, you're welcome to join, PLEASE just join, it's FREE

lmao the ceo just fired the head of product and the head of revenue.

what is going on in escrow seems like a weird time to be doing major housecleaning

ceo pandering to elon to hold onto his job

he gets a yuge payout if he leaves so i'm skeptical, but maybe.

the two people he fired are two of the three people he promoted when he became ceo 6 months ago lmao.

cool cool

he gets a yuge payout if he leaves so i'm skeptical, but maybe.

some people want to be ceo more than they want money

i've seen this guy speak and let's just say he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who was pleased when the ball came his way in PE.

lol

musk is now setting the stage for canceling the deal over dumb reasons his fanatics will believe.

Second week of this poor deluded bluebird pecking at his own reflection. He will never mate, or nest, or propel his DNA into the next generation nor even have time for an auto fiction about his atrophied life. pic.twitter.com/Ux7XmY5GcK

Twitter is cool

The whole thing about Twitter "spam accounts" reminded me that when I joined Twitter in 2012, I would occasionally get followed by some super-obvious spam account like a Sexy Lady Looking to Chat or a Digital Marketing Business Guru, and at first I was baffled as to why they would bother *following* me, and then I realized that it was essentially just putting an ad in my mentions. Anyway, that hasn't happened in a really long time, and it makes me wonder whether those types of accounts specifically target new users, or whether Twitter just got better at weeding out stuff like that.

Sounds like an out to me

LONDON (AP) — Musk says deal to buy Twitter can’t go forward unless company can show that less than 5% of accounts are fake or spam.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-17/twitter-loses-three-more-senior-employees-ahead-of-musk-takeover

Gonna avoid twitter tonight like I avoid the streets the night the local team wins the superbowl

"he won! he won!"

the fuck did he win?

I uninstalled the app last week, I simply couldn’t deal with this shit. Don’t see myself going back for a while.

Ilxors list which well-known US bobos they have previously honked

So many honked bobos

A callout of SDL led to discourse about the term "PAWG". During that discourse, @APunishedBill found himself disagreeing with the "PAWG is racist" folks.

This, imo, can be considered the inciting incident. 1/?

I literally cannot parse that at all.

I mean, I could click on it to try to work it out, but why would I punish myself like that?

That’s kind of the point
It’s a torturous history of the “Anne Frank had white privileged” mess

Just realized that a $1b breakup fee from Musk (were Twitter to get it) would represent more in net income for Twitter than it has made in aggregate in its lifetime as a company
