This guy has become a bit of a go-to person for a lot of the twitter engineers to bitch about things. This is just the start of a thread just posted. Good read
Elon Musk | Doer of things on X and sad little man
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
Getting back on topic and trying to anticipate the next disaster: I'm no expert in this, but it sounds to me that a major social media platform with a famously dickish CEO that's losing about 80% of its staff would be a fantastic target for hackers everywhere. Isn't it? What happens with advertisers and Company value then?
As I posted yesterday, he essentially threatened his staff with shit working conditions and physical health deterioration, or a 3month fully paid sabbatical in a highly fluid job market. What else was he expecting? How does anyone still take anything this guy says as "smart".
It’s a good job twitter can be coded by a few talented 15 year olds
Just incredible stuff. It's unfortunate that Elon can't just have all the fanbois who spend their days tonguing his hole run the site in exchange for his recognition of their existence.

Feel so shit about this, Twitter has been such a massive part of my life for 10+ years now & this guy has taken 10 days to possibly destroy it.
Sooooo, would it have been faster to literally light 44bn on fire? It'd take at least a few days to get it, spread it out and so forth?
Ooohhh, it’s fun with math time.
he has owned Twitter for 21 day. Let’s assume a hundred dollar bill takes 30 seconds to burn and weights 1g
44 billion = 2.1 billion per day
= 87 million per hour
= 1.45 million per minute
= 730K per 30 sec
= 7,300 $100 bills per burn
= 7.3 kg burned every 30 seconds,
= 14.6 kg burned per min
= 876 kg burned per hour
= 21,000 kg burned per day
= 441,500 kg burned total
= mass of 4 blue whales, 3 747’s, or the ego of one gigantic billionaire prick.
So where do we get our transfer news from now, maybe Elon should of just bought us when he was taking the piss, he would of been a hero for sacking the board, demanding players to give there all, and he would still have 35 billion in the bank after massive upgrades to the stadium and team.
Sure I followed some misinformation, or maybe there’s some new misinformation, who knows and don’t really care
Got to feel for the employees of the company, but I can't help but be amused at someone claiming to be the smartest person in the world buying a company, and then potentially destroying it so quickly. Will be interesting to see if it stablises, or some other online platform quickly steps into the void.
I do have to laugh though at the updates shared from people being posted on twitter though

Well done, lads.
Hope the US authorities can find something to stop that madness (actual high-end, well paid jobs in America) and then drag that Apartheid by-product behind bars for a long time.
Elon probably referring to himself sat in a room on his own. I think it will be fine though, there are people that want to work for Elon and he has apparently sold enough Tesla shares to keep Twitter running for 2023.
Could you imagine that phone call, what would you say?

Anyone now feeling like adapting the anti-Glazer songs to Elon Musk? That man is a fecking fraud from start to finish, a shite Apartheid by-product.
Doesn’t matter to the asshats that adore him though. Feckin eejits.
It does matter, otherwise they wouldn’t be so eager to refute or brush off any criticisms. Their identity is tied so deeply with this ‘visionary’ thinker and ‘self-made’ businessman that to accept it was all a sham is to accept the cold, hard, bitter truth that they are not as clever as they think they are, and the world is a shitty place which rewards evildoers.

"Some new misinformation"
Call your parents, you're in a cult...
That’s what I meant. That info doesn’t matter as they won’t change their minds. Too uncomfortable. It’s like the trumpers.
Half the accounts I follow on Twitter are putting their last will and testament post up today, in case the airplane crashes into the jungle.
Imagine pissing up $44bn.
"how many digits did you have in mind for this consulting gig?"
How many do we think will be left on Monday? They had 7500 when Musk took over.
I am thinking somewhere between one and two thousand.
