Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter

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

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."

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?

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.

Save your keystrokes.

There is no longer a need for anyone here to publish their opinion of Mr. Musk.

The opinion can be derived from opinions concerning Mr. Obama and Mr. Trump.
