Musk & Twitter

@dogmeat said in Musk & Twitter:
So now we now what Elon's going to do with Twitter.
Peddle misinformation.
Free the Bird indeed.
Well, we won't get Twitter deeming Hunter Biden's laptop to be misinformation weeks before an election and banning anyone who links to it. (turns out it was real)
We won't get Jordan Petersen having his account suspended for using a transsexual's previous female name.
There's a list a mile long of this bullshit.

@booboo Musk has retweeted discredited accusations about the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband.
The fake story is; said hubby was pissed and got into an altercation with a male prostitute rather than the Police version that he was attacked by an intruder into their home
Musk tweeted "there is a tiny possibility there is more to this story than meets the eye" with a link to a fake news site.
He's since taken his post down.
Not likely to inspire a lot of confidence in already twitchy advertisers.

The interesting point would be whether he was tweeting it for real and took it down when he found out that the 'real' sounding newspaper is not that at all
or
he was being troll-in-chief but quickly realized that he now owns that shit, so was these dogwhistles confirm market fears about the platform and it could lead to monetary problems.
My guess is no. 2. He's probably the best product person of his generation and has the capability to make Twitter a real thing, but he also appears to be a total fuckstick.

It's pretty funny watching people fall for his ovbiously trolling. He wouldn't last long on the Fern.
More interesting is they have been trawling through internal messages, and have already found comms talking about hiding stuff from the court case. Going to get messy, CEO might be spending that golden parachute on lawyers.

Apparently up to 50% of Twitter's workforce will be removed.

@Kirwan said in Musk & Twitter:
@Frank 7500 employees at the moment, safe to say there is some deadwood in there. Especially as they removed rest days from the calendar today. Non pto rest days!
Sackings taking place right now apparently.

@Victor-Meldrew yep, the number of purple haired avatar goodbye messages on Twitter is giving me a headache.
-
Twitter is a bit of a mess now that people are paying for verification. Elon should really have seen this coming. If you click on the blue tick it tells you whether they are verified the old way or because they are paying the subscription, but that won't be obvious to alot of people.
Some examples here, but there's absolutely loads off them around now, lots of cleanup to do

@No-Quarter If his plan is to have s230 amended, this would be an excellent way to do it. But I don't think he's that clever.
