Elon Musk

living my life specifically in a way that azealia will not cross my path and have the opportunity to roast me

feels like some law's gotta be broken here

Elon Musk has converted some rooms at Twitter HQ into bedrooms for employees as part of the "extremely hardcore" Twitter 2.0. They look like sad hotel rooms, per a photo shared with @Forbes. From me & @cfarivar https://t.co/G61HTgzFxg

UPDATE: Elon Musk terminated the contract employing the striking janitors.

"We have about 48 families out of work. And it just so happens that it’s three weeks before Christmas,” their union president said. https://t.co/RAzWmHMTPA

reading replies is broken for some users (not for me)

funny that i just got an error that the tweet wouldn't load when i clicked on it to go over to twitter

User reports indicate possible problems at Twitter

Yeah, no shit.

Very broken for me today in terms of retrieving replies. Thought I had been "shadow suspended" at first

the api is just returning a 403 and a file called error_log.json that's empty

haa

my bots are still tweeting fwiw

downdetector says whatever happened is over :-(

start a hot news rumor on Twitter, get it going again

like a celebrity death or something

Blake Lively, Blake Lively died....that'll generate traffic and overload servers

I mean if the World Cup hasn't done it...

xxxp random restaurant is one of the accounts I liked best on twitter.

thank u kindly

make a website for it

i could i guess

i also told someone i would put it on mastadon lol

apparently theres one for bots not sure how that works

it does sounds good tho

mastodon is a janky twitter clone attached to badly-designed protocols in 2023 websites are coming back

i wish i was better at computers i would build a twitter rival that uses ai to constantly change its ui based on usage patterns, it would be the worst thing ever

yeah that sounds horrible

just let the computer do whatever it wants, its computer time now

mastodon needs more good bots

lol I was dreaming of a Twitter rip-off last night which just squashes it into a random sort of classic Winamp skins on each refresh

eq sliders as a means of rating each tweet

ha nice yeah we need to bring that

Ah yes

Elon Musk's business confidants are sleeping in new bedrooms at Twitter HQ that have been converted from unused offices. Musk is having one made for him. https://t.co/Y3rq9WWEtC

tired: work from home
wired: home at work

next hot trend: indentured servitude, but with an attractive salary

Plus handy for a CEO with a history of sexual harassment.

i'm finding that tweet clickthrus from newsletters (and on ilx) are breaking in chrome/mac, started during the elon era

so this latest "Twitter files" thing is, uh...they hired a lawyer to review documents before sending them to Elon. who he just fired, lmao

really amazing how these guys keep going "oh god oh FUCK oh holy shit man you. will. not. believe this shit right here, it's even more corrupt than I could've possibly imagined" before revealing something like "Twitter paid BILLIONS in federal taxes!". its real cartoon shit

He worked for the FBI so, you know, DEEP STATE

Matt Taibbi has probably never had a real job and doesn’t know what they’re like

NEW: Ads from roughly 40 brands, including Amazon, Uber and Snap, are appearing on white nationalist pages after Elon Musk granted amnesty to previously suspended Twitter accounts. The inadvertant placement of brand ads is fallout from new amnesty policy. https://t.co/2wAqZAkl9h

hahahah what you up to WaPo

let them fight

the Twitter Files stuff feels like russiagate for elon musk fans. the breathless threads, all totally incomprehensible, with the assumed shared understanding of why the latest revelation is HUGE https://t.co/SViwm3tQhY

lol exactly looking at taibbis replies and its all people posting popcorn gif, but i doubt any of them could explain what the scandal is

"Jim Baker - the Reagan guy or the televangelist? They're still alive? Why was a televangelist working for Twitter?"

no one should be able to work for reagan god and twitter at the same time

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FjWDpyHXoAAl99i?format=jpg&name=medium

I love the “the Deep stateness is coming from inside the building!” twist

WaPo ads are literally the only ones I now see (haven't blocked them, as I do every other advertiser, as it also blocks news stories from them)

Great, so does this mean Elon is going to start digging for Fauci dick pics now, too?

Anyone else really losing track of the plotlines? This show was better in season 1.

i still read the recaps tho

I just gave the Open AI beta the prompt "Write a screenplay about Elon Musk and the fall of twitter"

FADE IN

EXT. CITY STREET - DAY

We open on a typical city street. The sun is shining, people walking by, buses and cars on the street.

EXT. ELON MUSK'S OFFICE - DAY

We then cut to the office of Elon Musk. He is sitting in his chair, looking out the window. He looks tired and stressed.

ELON MUSK

It's been a long few weeks.

INT. ELON MUSK'S OFFICE - DAY

He is looking at his computer, deep in thought. He takes a deep breath and then turns to his assistant.

ELON MUSK

What's the latest on Twitter?

ELON'S ASSISTANT

It doesn't look good. The stock has been falling for weeks. People are losing faith in the company.

ELON MUSK

I need to do something. I can't let this happen.

EXT. STREET - DAY

We see Elon walking down the street, making phone calls and sending emails. He looks determined.

EXT. TWITTER HEADQUARTERS - DAY

We then cut to the headquarters of Twitter. Elon is walking in, flanked by his team. He looks around and takes a deep breath.

ELON MUSK

Let's get to work.

INT. TWITTER HEADQUARTERS - DAY

We see Elon and his team working on strategies to turn the company around. They are discussing different ideas and ways to improve the company. After a few hours, they come up with a plan.

EXT. TWITTER HEADQUARTERS - DAY

We then see Elon and his team walking out of the building. Elon looks determined.

ELON MUSK

We can do this. We can turn this around.

EXT. CITY STREET - DAY

We see Elon walking down the street, with a new purpose and energy. He looks confident and determined.

FADE OUT.

"Write a screenplay about Elon Musk, twitter and hunter biden's penis"

FADE IN

EXT. ELON MUSK'S OFFICE - DAY

We see Elon Musk at his desk, typing on his laptop. The camera pans to a large TV screen next to him.

ELON

Ah, this is the life.

Suddenly, a tweet appears on the TV screen. It reads:

"Look at Hunter Biden's penis!"

Elon looks up from his laptop, shocked. He takes a deep breath and looks around the room, unsure of what to do. He shakes his head and then looks back at the TV screen.

INT. ELON'S OFFICE - LATER

Elon is sitting at his desk, now surrounded by several people. He is furiously typing on his laptop.

ELON

Okay, let's do this.

The people around him nod in agreement.

ELON

First, I'm going to tweet out a link to an article about Hunter Biden's penis.

The group nods in agreement again.

ELON

Then, I'm going to tweet out a link to a video of Hunter Biden's penis.

The group looks at each other with a mix of shock and disgust.

ELON

Then, I'm going to tweet out an opinion piece on why Hunter Biden's penis should be discussed in the public sphere.

The group slowly nods in agreement.

ELON

And finally, I'm going to tweet out a link to a petition to get Hunter Biden's penis removed from Twitter.

The group stares at Elon, unsure of what to do. Elon looks around the room and then back at the TV screen.

ELON

Let's do this.

Everyone in the room nods in agreement.

FADE OUT
