Musk and Twitter

People are coming out confirming it

 Elon Musk Just Revealed Massive Corruption At Twitter!

But but the left he would kill it.

    Twitter’s daily user growth hit “all-time highs” during the first full week of Elon Musk owning the platform, according to a company document obtained by The Verge.

    Since Musk’s dramatic takeover, Twitter’s monetizable daily user (mDAU) growth has accelerated to more than 20 percent, while “Twitter’s largest market, the US, is growing even more quickly,” according to an internal FAQ obtained by The Verge that was shared with Twitter’s sales team on Monday to use in conversations with advertisers. Per the FAQ, Twitter has added more than 15 million mDAUs, “crossing the quarter billion mark” since the end of the second quarter, when it stopped reporting financials as a public company.

No surprise here, but worth noting:

98.7% of Twitter employee donations to political candidates in the 2018 mid-term elections were to the Democratic Party.

There was an article I read a day or two ago where Valerie Bertinelli had taken over Musk's twit feed as well and posted a few tweets like Griffin did.

Nobody hacked his account. They just changed profile pictures, and things like that, and tweeted as if they were him.

[K Frame]

Uhm... did someone ask, and President Alzheimer's, really respond, that Elon Musk might be a threat to national security because of his ownership of Twitter?

AOC is upset mere commoners can get a bluecheck

Oh, and of course it will negatively impact women and others (You know she means POC) the most

    If so, it definitely seems like a tool that’s ripe for targeted harassment, especially of women + others on this platform

    Get over yourself. Elon won’t date you

She's probably one of those fools who paid 15 grand for one.

[DittoHead]

So is there a new verification system/symbol separate from the $8 blue check mark? They are going to need to verify people anyway if they are removing impersonations, otherwise how do you know who to remove?

far from altering or fixing what he perceived to be the problem — namely, that the blue-check system had drifted from its original purpose and become a capriciously awarded and maintained status symbol — Musk has now reinforced it. It made no sense, on pre-Musk Twitter, to hand verification symbols only to prominent people of whom Twitter’s owners approved. And it makes no sense, on Musk’s Twitter, to hand verification symbols to people who haven’t actually been verified. That’s not a fix, it’s revenge, and, while it may feel good in the moment, it is probably not going to help Musk achieve the lofty and admirable goals that he talked about before he was handed the keys to the kingdom.

Unpossible. I'm certain I remember AOC complaining that she couldn't possibly survive on the salary the government (meaning us, in this context) pays congresscritters.

Wouldn't the "Justice Democrats" have taken care of that for her?

But you better hurry "Pretty soon, $8 will be $4 and then you'll have to pay $16"

Calling out your boss (the CEO of Twitter) on Twitter is not a good idea career-wise.

[K Frame]

So, Elon Musk cuts staff at Twitter, and people lose their minds, that it's the most horrible Fascist thing ever to happen in a world of cis normal fascists, and it's the new American holocaust.

Amazon and Facebook cut staff, and virtually no one utters a word.

Exactly. Amazon is firing 10,000 people as we speak.

They're just trying to break the unemployment insurance bank.

Which will be bailed out by the overall government printing more paper scrip.

Which will be paid for by our grandchildren.

Trouble is, we ourselves are already the grandchildren from thirty and more years ago, and we're paying through the nose for that.

We'd better get busy making more grandchildren.

Hey man, can someone explain in boomer language what this whole Ligma and Johnson thing is? I am apparently missing a cultural reference that started when they were fired. If they are indeed real people who were really fired.

They were never Twitter employees; just pretending to be fired for the lulz.

Also, "Ligma" sounds like "lick my;" and "Johnson" sounds like "Johnson."

Musk is going to start WW-III because......something
I have a headache now

    I feel totally reassured that there's a major international crisis in Poland that could lead to a world War and Twitter is being run by manbaby who fired all of the execs and engineers who fight disinformation.

    — Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) November 15, 2022

    I'm sure everything would be fine if a paid verified impersonated account of the NATO Secretary General declared in a tweet that Article V had been invoked and counter strikes were imminent. Not like the risk of miscalculation isn't nuclear war or anything.

What if some actor became president, and announced on a hot mic that the bombings were about to commence?!
