Just days ago, #twitter #employees were #begging #elonmusk not to be " #reckless " - now look at them: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/twit.. Like #thanos he is snapping half of them out of existance.
I agree with this #blog about not using #twitter #threads to #explain #technical #ideas https://pierre.equoy.fr/blog/posts/2022/.. I suspect it will now be easier to convince people now that #elonmusk is in control and there will be a large #leftwing #exodus from the #platform .
Looks like #twitter #employees in the #uk are afforded a few more #benefits than their #us counterparts, given just a few days (including the weekend) to get everything done: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-63.. It's a pretty sly method to be used by #elonmusk , but I can understand it. These #employees at #twitter are likely to act like #enemies , hence why they locked them out!
So apparently for years now #twitter has #opensource 'd the #factcheck 'ing of #twitter to anybody in the #community , i.e. having people #police themselves: https://twitter.github.io/birdwatch/# Sounds a lot like #communism where you #snitch your #neighbour for some small reward... I'm sure that won't result in a purity spiral of hell.
#elonmusk has started #firing #twitter #employees , apparently #half like the #thanos #king he is: https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/03/twitte.. The #article points out that he took on a lot of #debt to #purchase the #company , which amounts to $1 #billion #dollars a year in #interest alone. Looks like the non- #programmers can #learntocode .

It looks like there was really that much fat to be cut. #twitter may still yet become a #profitable #company !

As expected, #elonmusk after finally #buying #twitter will now #fire 75% of the #staff to cut the fat of the #company that is un- #profitable https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chief-.. This is inline with other #tech #companies also #firing people. Apparently he has already #fired the #chiefexecutive , #chieffinancialofficer and other #executives .
I've #considered #christine 's / #xe 's #request that #twitter not become a place of #freespeech , but I believe the #argument is not strong: https://xeiaso.net/blog/twitter-fears One of the #fears they have is that it will lead to #threats of #violence - but this is not covered by #freespeech . As those of the #leftwing have #claimed all along, " #private #companies can do whatever they want". Suddenly it is #unpalatable when a #company does not act in your #favour - welcome to the #realworld .
So #twitter are #introducing a very #basic #edit #feature for #paid #users only: https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/twi.. Apparently for up to 30 #minutes people will be able to make #changes. Wil be interesting to see how this plays out.
#jordanpeterson was #banned ( #suspended ) from #twitter for #offending the #lgbt people: https://youtube.com/watch?v=UYfKWQqvFac He has likely been #punished for " #deadnaming ", which is essentially just referring to somebody by a name they do not like. Meanwhile, they are free to call you a #dick , #cunt , or likewise for doing so. These new #rules are strange indeed.
Very interesting, #billgates #caught fuelling #money into anti- #elonmusk #companies because he " #threatens " to bring back #freespeech to #twitter https://youtube.com/watch?v=DPIXDsblr2E Madness.
Would you look at that, tonnes of #conservative #accounts are suddenly #reactivating on #twitter as if by #magic ! https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/twi.. It's as if their #bans were previously #politically #motivated . Surprise!
Interesting, it appears both #elonmusk and #twitter 's ex- #ceo #jackdorsey are both #aligned in #criticizing the #board #members for how Twitter is currently being run: https://www.forbes.com/sites/abrambrown/.. #jackdorsey is even still on the board!
Interesting #idea to use a #vampire #attack to #clone #twitter and take it over for less than a #billion #dollars https://geohot.github.io//blog/jekyll/up.. Honestly, with the #dwindling #userbase , there might not even be #value in doing this anyway. I think people may be happy to lose #historic #tweets .
