"assassination coordinates" trending, well done

this fn guy

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 18, 2022

I’ll give him credit this is pretty entertaining

he's going to appoint david sacks as CEO, which he was going to appoint anyway.

regardless of his plan why would he do the poll lol hes off his head m8

hes already rolling back the linking rule

Policy will be adjusted to suspending accounts only when that account’s *primary* purpose is promotion of competitors, which essentially falls under the no spam rule

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 18, 2022

i voted no for the lolz

lol he’s just going to ban everyone who votes “yes”, I mean this is straight out of the early 2000s forum mod snaps playbook

What is going on

No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 19, 2022

i voted no for the lolz

Same. If Twitter continues to die and Tesla keeps tanking because of Twitter and the Musk bubble getting popped, that's good times.

*Droopy Dog voice* Should I just go fuck myself then? I will abide by the results of this poll.

Also big no vote. Every minute he’s ceo of a company he personally owns and cannot operate does harm to him I love it.

Seems like he’s hinting about shutting it down in his latest tweets though hahah.

Good jack content. What a fuckup. Real Chauncey gardener vibes.

apparently he would have cleared just under a billion if he hadn't rolled his shares into Elon's vision

Lmao that the “no linking your other socials” rule was apparently solely implemented to ban Taylor Lorenz

Well she did cry that one time

i'm so eager for the taylor lorenz story to drop. it's gonna be so good

yeah i wonder what shes got

how’s the middle manager lady who pulled all nighters doing?

During today’s launch of @TwitterBlue the SF team experienced two literal fire drills. The first one happened at HQ and led us to a Starbucks where we kept rolling out the release, then the coffee shop had its own fire drill — sending us back to HQ to finalize the roll out. 🤣🔥 pic.twitter.com/bYsJdZyVXs

tried to embed the video where she was talking to camera but apparently twitter doesn't work properly? someone should look into that.

Will soon be fired for promoting Starbucks

my team keeps getting hit by lightning when were trying to roll this feature out

i'm so eager for the taylor lorenz story to drop. it's gonna be so good

is it this one? just came out i think

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details-of-musk-stalking-incident/

The Twitter owner threatened legal action, changed the platform’s rules and suspended journalists’ accounts after a confrontation involving his security team at a gas station. But the incident’s timing and location cast doubt on a link to the @ElonJet account.

chronological timeline is amazing when you see the third reply is some tuned-in 13 follower reply guy doing this

No! The right and virtuous way is always more challenging but you can't just give up this easy. You know you're doing what's right by the people. Anyone with a problem with you is just afraid of being exposed for the clowns they are. #elonmuskdoesnotbudge

Musk’s lackeys spent their entire day in my mentions defending this absurd policy as just and wise only to have Musk abandon it in less than 12 hours

— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) December 19, 2022

lost ass people, sad, need to find ass

that whole policy was implemented just as an excuse to ban Taylor Lorenz for reporting on the "assassination coordinates" story lmao

mh otm

seems like twitter's resilience during the world cup emboldened elon to fire even more of the infrastructure team https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-has-reportedly-laid-off-more-of-its-infrastructure-team-192330953.html

apparently twitter's workforce has now shrunk by over 75%?

Tesla board's gotta love it when they read shit like "Musk tapped Tesla engineer Sheen Austin to run the social media website’s infrastructure team following Abramson’s departure."

xpost Kinda like realizing you can still make the car move with four blown tires and deciding to just go ahead and smash the axles as well

xp yeah the tesla situation is pretty good not only is he ignoring his ceo job and dumping stock hes poaching teslas workers

very funny to see big tesla investors publicly beg him to stop on twitter

hes so out of pocket you almost have to respect it

i dont have to respect anything

no you almost have to respect it

lmao the formatting

Why would I need Twitter? I can read @dril’s tweets in book form. pic.twitter.com/5y0wK3E0AL

Should I run Twitter ?

— Snoop Dogg (@SnoopDogg) December 19, 2022

lol

You have to pay the cost to be the boss

Meanwhile long after everyone's stopped paying attention to the Twitter Files, Lee Fang has an actually interesting installment about Twitter enabling U.S. propaganda in other countries. https://theintercept.com/2022/12/20/twitter-dod-us-military-accounts/

I would have more faith in Snoop’s abilities to oversee this company and platform, even after it’s been choked almost to death.

I’m sure the guy who tweeted “We coup who we want” is really interested in stamping out US propaganda

Probably DoD is going to consider him a security risk and just not tell him what they're doing at all. What govt in their right mind is going to tell Musk anything?

the only answer i can think of is the one we had in the u.s. up until a couple years ago, but they weren't in their right minds

I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 21, 2022

The next CEO of Twitter will be Jared Kushner.
