Elon Musk

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

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! 🥴

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

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

(Elon opens the door) Welcome to my house, better than all the other houses, unlike those other houses where you can't fill your hands with shit and throw it. Here you can throw shit wherever you want, because we believe in freedom here. (shit hits his face) Get out of my house.

I’ve heard rumors of elon unblocking himself from accounts and its true! I’ve had him blocked and muted for 5 years and now he’s just muted 🥴world’s most cartoonishly pathetic billionaire
