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."

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 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

Huh, never noticed that before. Seems weird that some of the most-read threads in the past 5 minutes haven't been updated in years. I guess ILX gets a fair bit of traffic from search results.

I kind of wondered how they’re defining “views” there and whether it’s actual users or just anytime the tweet’s marked deliveredmaybe the tweet was viewed multiple times by the advertising algorithm

Dec 23 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc removed a feature in the past few days that promoted suicide prevention hotlines and other safety resources to users looking up certain content, according to two people familiar with the matter who said it was ordered by new owner Elon Musk.The removal of the feature, known as #ThereIsHelp, has not been previously reported. It had shown at the top of specific searches contacts for support organizations in many countries related to mental health, HIV, vaccines, child sexual exploitation, COVID-19, gender-based violence, natural disasters and freedom of expression.Its elimination could add to concerns about the well-being of vulnerable users on Twitter. Musk has said that impressions, or views, of harmful content are declining since he took over in October and has tweeted graphs showing a downward trend, even as researchers and civil rights groups have tracked an increase in tweets with racial slurs and other hateful content.Twitter and Musk did not respond to requests for comment on the removal of the feature.
