Twitter C/D

so where will everyone go? substack?

at some point they have to consider firing him from tesla right (idk thats really possible or what the situation is over there)

For reference these were the 2 twtr employees that were on the Spaces interview with Elon. The only 2. And they're both gone https://t.co/drOT5hROcp

it's not on its own a problem or unusual that almost none of prior leadership remains. but the fact that the ones that did remain are quitting after like a week of working with him seems bad.

I'll start worrying about our boy Elon once the top source of info about his incompetence is something other than Twitter itself.

those twitter loans are already getting bid at 40% off https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-10/twitter-loans-get-bid-at-60-cents-as-banks-sound-out-investors?srnd=premium

John Deorean:cocaine::Elon Musk:Twitter.

Ha, fucked up my own DeLorean joke.

And if he had just delivered an affordable, reliable personal submarine we'd all be singing his praises

part of that's unavoidable given how interest rates have moved higher since the financing papers were signed in april, but part of that definitely reflects the chaos and uncertainty that elon is bringing lol xp

It's like Musk highjacked the Titanic just so he could steer it into the iceberg.

so he does have a plan

currently an emergency twitter all-hands going on with Elon Musk answering employee Q's

Elon was asked: "How are you going to deal with the expected attrition and align everyone on a shared vision?"

Elon Answer: "I don't know....we all need to be more hardcore."

Twitter should start a Patreon

The Posting Era is coming to an end in the funniest and most spectacular way…soon all will be scattered to the forums and there will only be a smoking crater where they spent over a decade posting through it

it should be noted that any sentence that includes the words "how are you going to..." and "...align everyone on a shared vision?" was actually a big slow softball question

what are the projects you're most excited about and what are the big things we should all be looking forward to together as we work together in complete harmony?

uuuuuh.....fuck autotune

twitter has wild revenue fluctuations, but even some of its worst quarters only had negative cash flows in the low nine figures, so if this is true Elon has blown a multi-billion dollar hole in their finances already https://t.co/CThkrFtqEl

Was going to ask how long until this guy ends up in a stupid reality show, but then I realized we are already getting it.

Elon Answer: "I don't know....we all need to be more hardcore."

Bloomberg is reporting that Harley Flanagan has been tapped to replace Yoel Roth as Twitter's Head of Trust and Safety. Flanagan brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the company from his previous stints in Cro-Mags and jail.

ok now I'm wondering if Esther is ok, after crapping all over her earlier in this thread

her activity today has been limited to retweeting this

proud of the spaces team (current and former) for building a service resilient enough to handle ~100k concurrent listeners for an hour with no issues. https://t.co/snfe7Nt3oV

i'm barely following but even i recognize that the host of the flawless conference call (which, heavy respect) was a person who resigned today

big kendall roy energy here

"hey so i just wanted to drop in and say..... y'know... Yo"

*Writing my Twitter self-eval*

Consistent with the stated corporate strategy of “being more hardcore”, in Q42022 I turned it up to 11 in the following areas:
- Fucks given: 0
- Headbutts: +35% from Q3
- Fingerless Glove Fridays: 100% team participation
- Longer guitar solos

Feel like Elon is entering "let's just do it and be legends" territory.

site already seems to have broken. scrolling down replies keeps jumping back to the top of the page

The chaos continues. Twitter pulls the plug on Twitter Blue, subscriptions and paid-for verification blue checkmark no longer available.

Incredible 1-2

is it really scrapped? too funny

I don’t even care if this is true

Twitter Blue has been permanently disabled after a verified Nintendo Macedonia account posted a picture of pregnant Luigi showing his prolapsed butthole to Waluigi. It was viewed 8 million times.

I'm enjoying how the What's Happening? list is carrying on, ignoring with grim determination the main reason most people (?) are even looking at twitter

This NYT article…

In case you’re in any doubt about who got to stay:

At Goldbird, Twitter’s revenue division, the company had to bring back those who ran key money-generating products that “no one else knows how to operate,” people with knowledge of the business said. One manager agreed to try rehiring some laid-off workers, but expressed concerns that they were “weak, lazy, unmotivated and they may even be against an Elon Twitter,” two people familiar with the matter said.

Last week, Ms. Crawford shared a photo of herself sleeping at Twitter’s San Francisco offices in a sleeping bag and an eye mask, with the hashtag #SleepWhereYouWork.

Her message rubbed some colleagues the wrong way. They wondered in private chats why they should commit long working hours to a man who could fire them, according to five people and messages seen by The Times. On Twitter, Ms. Crawford responded to what she called “hecklers” by saying she had received supportive messages from other entrepreneurs and “builders of all types.”

On Wednesday, workers in Twitter’s New York office were unable to use the Wi-Fi after a server room overheated and knocked it offline, two people said.

an angle i hadn't thought of, willing to bet Twitter in Germany is trending with lederhosen and oktoberfest

Musk’s Twitter purge has created all kinds of bizarre ripple effects across the whole world which are both interesting and confounding. For instance, Japanese Twitter users have noticed that the site’s Trending Topics in the country no longer have any news in them and have filled up with topics like anime and video games. The tweet above from Business Insider Japan reporter Ikuko Takeshita who explains that media outlets in the country were making Twitter Moments to promote their stories, which were then boosted by the Twitter’s curation team, which no longer exists.

lmao

Did Twitter Blue tweet just cost Eli Lilly $LLY billions?

ho lee shit

too good, twitters getting sued lol

never thought when I was a kid that if I was clever and made a burner account on a website that I could tank a multi-billion dollar global company. I didn't dream big enough.
