Elon Musk

next communication from twitter: as a favor, please do not watch or post about world cup

this is all a bit on the nose tbqh

I feel bad saying this but honestly this is the funniest thing to ever happen

richest guy in the world spent tens of billions of dollars to just get mercilessly bullied on his favorite website before destroying it within weeks

its incredible content

This all happening at the same time as FTX and John Fetterman going to the senate is just too much

!!! “I know of six critical systems (like ‘serving tweets’ levels of critical) which no longer have any engineers," "There is no longer even a skeleton crew manning the system. It will continue to coast until it runs into something, and then it will stop.”https://t.co/5lmWQHX2ft

Legitimately stunned this is happening so fast

xxyyzz mentioned a wildcat strike and i guess this is that, but the strikers get three months pay in advance?

As we’re all very aware, folks on visas are stuck, so thats who makes up most of the roughly 25% (or less than 1,000….) expected to stay. The actual impact is not yet known — there have been no internal comms about what comes next. We’re nearly 2 hours post deadline.

doesn't seem like enough people tbqh

sorry wrong tweet in the thread, meant this one

What I’m hearing from Twitter employees; It looks like roughly 75% of the remaining 3,700ish Twitter employees have not opted to stay after the “hardcore” email.

Even though the deadline has passed, everyone still has access to their systems.

first goal in the world cup is when it ends

The most abominable villain in this story is the US immigration system, in the end

i kind of want to know how Ligma & Johnson are doing. rooting for those two

if twitter dies what's Elon gonna post on

Good question

Post it notes on the toilet

he could buy truth social and try again

first goal in the world cup is when it ends

beautiful

I haven’t seen an update on the sale of the debt in a couple days I wonder how that’s going

I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices.

Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.

There's like 50 people stuck in a Twitter parking garage in Sunnyvale right now - the barrier arm won't go up because their badges are disabled. Someone in facilities management is supposedly bringing them a sawzall.

Probably faje

Fake

The Alex Cohen one definitely is, but dude can pick his targets.

I was let go by FTX today. I was in charge of all of Sam's personal finances. This was my first job in finance and living in the Bahamas.

I'm sad but excited to share that come January, I will be starting a new role at ARK Invest, leading our early stage web3 investments!

— Alex Cohen (@anothercohen) November 10, 2022

People on Twitter spreading fake news about Twitter's collapse and Twitter can't do anything about it because of Twitter's collapse.

> first goal in the world cup is when it ends

first game is qatar vs ecuador on Sunday. I'm not sure that'll have enough weight tbh

I feel bad saying this but honestly this is the funniest thing to ever happen

lmao @ these posts

I (and probably thousands of other people) already made this joke weeks ago, Elon.

How do you make a small fortune in social media?

Start out with a large one.

More lolz

listen, if we want cars that catch fire and run over children we have to just live with the catastrophic mismanagement of a social media platform https://t.co/wEmFeHH9OV

The greatest emoji ever.

A bunch of Twitter engineers who were still at the company as of this morning, people I've known and respected for years, just called Elon's bluff, took the offer of severance, and said 🫡

Salute emoji suggests to me 'yes sir, right away sir' rather than 'fuck of Musk' as it seems to be being used

off

Fuck of Musk and Eye of Toad

Or someone standing at 90 degrees to a nazi salute lol

salut

It's used as a fuck off emoji whenever I've seen it.

It's a way of saying fuck off to people you cannot say fuck off to, is how I see it.

that puts it in a much better light, never seen it before

"In case there's anyone left who doesn't hate me ..."

it must be really frustrating to still be working there, in the middle of a work crisis, after clicking a button that indicated that you were hardcore and that Outstanding was the only acceptable performance, minimum of 96/7 work hours, and then you see elon replying to ticketmaster about taylor swift

I rode in a friend's tesla recently and it felt weirdly already dated, very car of the future of the past.
