Twitter

^ same for me. I like Twitter but waiting to see what happens now.

Also someone who likes twitter and thinks it serves a good function in the social media ecosystem

That's golden.

It's not helping that accounts taking the piss out Elon are being suspended all over the place even if theyre trying to make it happen. Freedom of speech lol

Oh the entire human rights team was binned too

Race between him and Meta to burn the most money fastest. If KLF did it, it would be art.

Seems Musk had a conversation with marketing companies about Twitter and then just blocked anybody who said anything he didn't like, no matter how mildly.

As much as I like Twitter, I’m perfectly happy to have it destroyed if it publicly demonstrates once and for all what a witless fucking tool Musk is

His mismanagement of the acquisition also seems to be denting Tesla’s stock price, lolol

Is Mastodon the new place to go?

Seems like different sub groups are going to different platforms, some to discord, some to linkedin, some to mastodon

Seems to be a lot moving there currently but sounds not very intuitive (to my old brain).

Yeh an other account of how badly he pitched with the advertisers

It seems to have started in May at some big media sales event where 2023 ad presales are made and Twitter sales tanked thanks to Elon.

That context makes his lack of prep for dealing with the issue and sacking the people who would of dealt with it even worse, unreal level of arrogance

Aye. Lol at the uninformed person in the comments who said "This would make a good Dilbert strip". People picking their jaws up from the floor to respond "Dude, have you not heard about Scott Adams's politics?"

& @villa-ru understood think I'll wait and see for now

It's fundamentally more complex than Twitter and in some ways harks back to early Internet communities or even pre-Net bulletin boards. A large number of people do seem to be moving there, though, so the character of the whole network is likely to change.

Needs an lfgss server.

If you thought that in rushing to layoff half the employees in "The Snap" they accidentally fired people they actually really need to do stuff on Monday, you'd be correct.

“Hmmm, ok. I’ll take 4x my old salary and Musk on the phone personally apologising to me.”

I'd take a severance payment for the terminated contract, compensation, golden handshake and a pay rise.

not sure if true but saw something saying he sacked those who'd written the least number of lines of code in the previous 1 yr / 2yr time span ? thus getting rid of some of the best programmers working on the harder bits of code

I’d also seen this. Literally valuing quantity over quality. Real genius shit.

It's more than that though isn't it? Didn't he put up x amount of his tsla stock as collateral? And there's a clause or something in the loans that if it tanks he has to put up more?
Banks and such can call it in. I'll find what I saw
