    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Elon's having so much fun.

              Of course, he hasn't (afaik) visited TNCR, so he might not be completely informed, yet.

                                  Not sure if the $8/month fee for "verified accounts" is an official policy yet. For those who don't like it, they can go build their own platform, go use something else, or go without that "verified" checkmark.

                                      There is a lawsuit being filed by twitter employees, alleging that Musk was legally obligated to provide 60 days notice and retraining opportunities before a large layoff, by CA law.

                                        With my familiarity with what actual workers actually do in actually big companies with actually thousands of employees, my guess is that a reduction in Twitter's work force by 75% will result in zero impact to the Twitter website.

                                          I saw that as well. I'll bet that his attorneys have already considered that.

                                          "You're fired as of 60 days from now. Here's a list of places you can find training."

                                          When we dismissed one of our partners, we did it without cause, and we gave 90 days.
