When Elon took over twitter he called everyone back to the office and told managers that if they allowed work from home under any circumstances, they'd be fired. Now he's fired most of them anyway and one by one, the branches of twitter are getting evicted and the survivors are being told to work from home. The man is clueless.

When he had an office converted into a bedroom (which is illegal btw? The building is not zoned as a residence) I think he was trying to imitates Thomas Edison, who famously had a cut installed in his lab for all nighters. Totally oblivious that Edison was a patent troll who just paid people off for their ideas and slapped hhs own name on them to claim credit and most of the profit.

His knowledge of Edison comes entirely from the Simpsons. And the Simpsons would go on to do an episode that was equally bad in it's public fellating of him. The only thing I'll likely say in Elon's defense is at least he hasn't had a rival killed before patenting his technology, yet. So he has that over Edison.

Refusing to let staff work from home and also refusing to pay rent on the offices is certainly something.

If he had the balls to have someone killed he would never be able to not brag about it on twitter.

Edison also actually invented SOME of his inventions... as opposed to Elon's literal nothing.

They've decided to fix the "automatically reloads on the For You" tab thing.

theintercept.com/2023/01/24/twitter-elon-musk-modi-india-bbc/Tesla brand free speech absolutism in action, folks. Says the man who leaps into action the moment Andy Ngo lists a new leftist group he wants banning, or someone hurts Libs of Tiktok's feelings. That's not even a conspiracy theory, internal twitter communications have been leaked putting Elon's direct involvement with the political bans that began when he took over out there for all to see.

Has South Park sone an episode about him yet? I have a feeling that really would bother him.

They'll do what they did last time someone who embodies their brand of edgelord nihilism gained a bunch of power and claim they don't want to satirise them because everyone else is.

If it fit to the point where South Park couldn’t resist making fun of him, you know he’d go nuclear.

Is anybody else finding their ‘Four You’ timeline getting… progressively even worse and more toxic?
I must admit, the first couple of weeks it appeared on the homepage I was actually thinking this isn’t too bad - it was mainly popular posts from accounts I follow that I’d genuinely missed and appreciated seeing.
It’s fast become an absolute extravaganza of miserable, divisive shit I just do not want to see. I only noticed recently that I was starting to feel really mad and sad while reading that feed. Kind of fascinating feeling it happening in real-time - until I snapped out of it and thought why the f*** am I spending my day doing this.

my "for you" takes about 19 minutes to scroll to the most recent tweets while it shows the same tweets four or five times, it even showed a football match result directly before a tweet saying the second half had just started last weekend.
that isnt just once a day thing, it's every time I go on the mobile app. swap over to "following" and back and it's another 19 minutes of scrolling

So, you can no longer watch Youtube videos on Twitter. Video defaults to this

Just logged into twitter for the first time in months and apparently I'm suspended permanently (despite having posted 2 tweets ever and never breaking rules)...and then I clicked for details and when I closed that window the suspension message was gone and it was telling me 'let's go'. So which is it lol? And now the message is back with a link for appeal that is broken. Oh I see, my account was hacked by someone and they were using it. I tried to deactivate the account but it has to be unsuspended. So I click appeal and it tells me the account is not locked. Twitter can't decided it it's suspended or not apparently. I sent a message explaining the situation and stating that I wish to delete the compromised account. We'll see what happens. What a gong show.
