Elon Musk

shocked to discover this inherited wealth waster is clueless

i didn't even mean to be mean, i've had a couple, this whole thread should be one post that says USELESS CUNT

To be fair, if you’d told 1980s anti-apartheid teenage nephew that in 40 years the richest man in the world would be a white South African asshole, it wouldn’t have terribly surprised me.

Nephew? That said “teenage me” when I typed it. Oh well.

lol i like the idea of referring to oneself as nephew

Oh happy days...

oh that dave troy guy is a far gone conspiracy nut. I read a very long thing he wrote about putin and some spiritual shit and it was like ... ok, I liked robert anton wilson too, but give it a rest.

also, bluesky is in fact interesting, but I'm not entirely certain how it's different from mastadon.

damn is this place breaking too

Twitter will have an edit button before ilx does.

Oh dear

Multiple sources and Twitter Blind chats now saying that the company has begun to reach out to some people it laid off yesterday asking them to come back. Whoops! 🥴

I think it's dumb that he's throwing around numbers when he doesn't even have a working prototype. It just seems like he's hoping to derail the other project. .

More from former tweep: They fired EVERYBODY on two of the teams that were working on things they want to launch. https://t.co/C2JtityJHV pic.twitter.com/ZfrIZNAe9n

So close. There are actually about eight of those tiny little pieces holding everything up, and yes, all those teams got slashed. https://t.co/vWhjNn5bpY

lmao good work everyone

always good to demonstarte a new hellish workplace culture and give someone their salary for 3 months before renegotiating their pay.

if I were one of those people I would have to be highly financially incentivised to come back and do a single thing. Hopefully they don't have some clause in their termination contracts (which dictate their last day is actually 60 days from now) that compels them to.

Scoop: all of Musk’s companies use MS Teams for comms, where new channels are private by default.

When software engineers from Tesla, Boring and SpaceX came in to Twitter a week ago, they created Slack channels to communicate amongst themselves.

Several channels were public.

So we're right on track for the first full-scale failure

someone speeding through a tunnel in a Tesla, checking Twitter on their phone and then crashing and bursting into flames?

From Twitter Slack: “sorry to @- everybody on the weekend but I wanted to pass along that we have the opportunity to ask folks that were left off if they will come back. I need to put together names and rationales by 4PM PST Sunday.

Is he pulling a reverse Costanza???

He wasn't in the pool

Just to be clear, he fired the team working on this. https://t.co/56I1uyBIIR

— sillyrobin is a fmr Tweep (@SillyRobin) November 4, 2022

Just to be clear, he *also* fired the team who *built* and *shipped* this. https://t.co/chX1FNdNVV

— sillyrobin is a fmr Tweep (@SillyRobin) November 5, 2022

Just to be clear, he also fired nearly the entire TweetDeck team 🙃 #hattrick https://t.co/v6ByA5o3ct

Musk and Twitter reminds of the scene in "Lost in America" where Albert Brooks tries to convince Garry Marshall/the casino to give him his money back.

It really makes you wonder what Musky's motives are other than "I am messiah"

Messiahs can never fail, they can only be failed.

Lol what a bitch

I'm almost surprised he didn't accidentally sack himself

Twitter will soon add ability to attach long-form text to tweets, ending absurdity of notepad screenshots

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 5, 2022

what is the point of Twitter if it's not "micro"-blogging?

Apparently this feature was already finished but I’m sure Elon will take credit for it

we should all go back to wens

I’m on mastodon now and it’s mostly fine if a bit “GNU/Linux” vibes but the absolute worst thing about it is that you can write 500 characters. I’m not reading that, get serious.

there should be a im happy for you or sorry about that button

this is really interesting. food for thought. thanks!

Tweets should be limited to 20 characters
