Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter

@Doctor-Phibes said in Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter:

8 bucks a month for Twitter?

Well.

Note that Musk agrees.

Also, someone was wondering if journalists who use "they/them" as pronouns will have to pay $16 because "they" identify as multiple people.

Oops.

[Doctor Phibes]

@jon-nyc I’m not totally convinced that guy knows what he’s doing

Understatement of the week.

18 years ago that happened to me after my employer in WI was purchased. I have no emotional memory of having been fired so I guess I didn’t care much. But my team was oopsed back into employment soon thereafter. Then several months later we were given an ultimatum to move to CA, because they couldn’t fathom maintaining a remote team. That’s when my total domination of an entire leftist state began. After that process was complete, I moved on.

Or maybe not?

By the way, was this a rule previously on Twitter? Seems like no, since he said “going forward….”

But then he said he was making no moderation changes until his committee meets. But that was a couple of days ago so who knows.

I guess it depends on how you define "moderation." I would think that impersonating someone else falls outside of the traditional definition.

BTW, she signed back in, using her (dead) mother's account to comment.

Someone said, "That's like getting thrown out of a party because you pissed in the punch bowl, and then dressing up like someone else, asking to be let back in."

Supposedly that number is less than 50.

[George K]

Lots of people saying that it happened to them as well, but no one can provide evidence.

[Jolly]

Follow the money ...

I wouldn't know who Brenden Dilley was if he came round to my house wearing an 'I'm Brenden Dilley' t-shirt.

Why did none of these people mention this earlier?

[Horace]

If offers were made, evidence should be abundant. If no evidence is offered, well.

[jon-nyc]

Offers were probably verbal. You really need to find someone who paid. But they probably won’t be chomping at the bit to out themselves.

Musk has charged in and forced this massive and traumatic change through without putting any thought into it at all.
