Tesla stock is down 70% from its all time high a year ago.

@George-K That is weird. I've personally worked on a few projects that leverage ADS-B open flight tracking data. It's still open, and available on the internet, but I guess a user would just have to click a few more times to track a specific flight, including Elon's or Bezos'. It's all publicly available.

Indeed. I would guess that using bots to aggregate the info and make it easy to find on Twitter is the issue. Similar to a (remember those?) phone book. Yeah, the person's address is publicly available, but...

Apparently Elon isn't as keen on those funny little practical jokes where he's the punchline.

Anyone notice that Musk has been really, uncharacteristically, quiet for 24 hours?

Busy
cutting dealspalling around with Jared and the Arabs while watching the World Cup final? There is a thread on that, right? -

Twitter employee head count down by 80% since Elon Musk took over. Has 1300 employees now with 550 "engineers" (by title) among them.

Interesting.
I won't even try to pretend the implications of this. However, the platform is up and appears to be functioning pretty much as always.
Yeah, there's bugs, and changes to under-the-hood stuff, but it appears that, unlike predictions, it has survived.
At least for now.
Related, how are Truth Social, Mastodon, WeMe, and Parler doing?

Truth social is amazing. Just so amazing. Truly. It's been really, really great, and it has all the best people. Just the best. I could give you the numbers, but you wouldn't believe me because they're so amazing.

Really sad to see how tribal he’s become. Fox News captures another ideological prisoner.

Yeah, but Carlson was never that great to begin with.

That's not Tucker, it's his twin brother, Magnus. He's so amazing. And really, really smart. Like a stable genius. He cleans out the horses so well, like really really well.

What else is broken at Twitter?
https://www.propublica.org/article/politwoops-deleted-tweets-twitter-politicians-musk
Politicians haven’t stopped deleting some of their most cringeworthy tweets, but Politwoops, our project that has tracked and archived more than half a million deleted tweets from candidates and elected officials since 2012, is no longer able to track them.
Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, the platform has disabled the function we used to track deletions — and the new method that Twitter says should identify them appears to be broken. We have been unable to find anyone who can help us, and with Twitter surprising developers by announcing a move to a paid model for gathering tweet data, it’s no longer clear that Twitter is a stable platform on which to maintain this work. ...

Another round of job cuts at Twitter:
"At least 50" people were let go this time.
