Elon f*cks Twitter

[Jolene Benoir]

Trump incites a coup and he's welcome on Elon's Twitter, but impersonate him and it's a permanent ban.

He's quite thin-skinned, this free speech absolutist, isn't he?

What good is speech if you don't know if the Nobel scientist you're trying to read is actually that scientist? Still, lol elon

You don't seriously think that the "impersonation" rule is going to trump the "pay me $8 for a checkmark" rule unless Elon's feelies are hurt -do you?

No. I think the verification was pretty great. Rebranding it is dumb and will cause a lot of confusion.

Elon Musk has discussed putting all of Twitter behind a paywall

Would a paywall really solve Twitter’s biggest problems?

If Friday brought massive layoffs to Twitter, Monday brought fresh evidence that the company will never be the same. Musk has discussed putting the entire site behind a paywall, Platformer has learned. Meanwhile, the company is scrambling to lure back employees who it laid off mere hours ago, and some workers say the economics behind its soon-to-relaunch Twitter Blue subscription could actually lose the company money.

That would certainly solve the Twitter problem, that's for sure!

Former Twitter engineer estimates the platform's technology will take six months to disintegrate at current staffing levels... Strong Liz Truss vibes from the Musk takeover so far 😬...

While many of Musk’s detractors may hope the platform goes through the equivalent of thermonuclear destruction, the collapse of something like Twitter happens gradually. For those who know, gradual breakdowns are a sign of concern that a larger crash could be imminent. And that’s what’s happening now.

If you've all been wondering about how Twitter's going to confront the "now that everyone has a blue check, how do we tell who's really who" problem, you'll be pleased to learn they have come up with a solution: another check!



If you're asking yourself, "why did they make a blockbuster drama out of completely renovating the blue check system just to turn around and recreate that special functionality as a different, still exclusive check", the answer is ur dumb and Elon is a genius that's why

People need to remember who actually financed that idiotic manbaby's purchase.....
