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

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

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 ?

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.

This is like when Putin had to go and be prime minister for a few years and pretend that someone else was running the country.

Lmao Elon being director of engineering is a hilarious concept

i'll just do the stuff that is super hardcore that's all

yeah no, i will never "join quality conversations" ty

with twitter's new "views" feature you precisely gauge the insignificance and meaninglessness of your thoughts, opinions, and existence

My worst nightmare is we get a Views count on ILX.

I snort-laughed when I saw this: pic.twitter.com/MuZ9aksH28

just dismissed the same ad four different times

uh yeah every time I see the "view" count I'm mentally figuring out the like/RT ratio, this is really distracting. maybe it's just me though

they should just show the ratios

I shouldn’t be surprised, but very disheartening to see Glinner has been unbanned and is immediately posting transphobic bile

As with his writing for the daily heil if you looked at his steez pre hate crusade you might naively assume there would have to be at least *some* introspection about exactly who is on his side these days

Haha cunt changed his Twitter bio to deny his previous views. Let’s see how he gets on throwing accusations at people while living in a country with plaintiff-friendly libel laws.

Actually just remembered he lost his original, early adopter blue verified tick and it’s not on the account now. Hope he starts sending Elon aggressive emails about it!

just scrolled my (algorithmic) timeline for 5 min and saw like 4 repeated tweets

I shouldn’t be surprised, but very disheartening to see Glinner has been unbanned and is immediately posting transphobic bile

genuinely surprised to see how much of an effort he made to tone it down from what he's posted on his socks & burners during the ban

the charm of being a subversive ban evader and truth-speaker kind of wears off when your account’s reinstated and the owner of the company is voicing the same repellent views
