Cont: Musk buys Twitter II

JayUtah said:
I was at a party over the weekend where one of the hosts had met someone who worked at Twitter headquarters when Elon Musk took over. He said she showed him pictures of all the garbage and gunk that had piled up at the office because Musk had fired all the janitors.

That is the idiot now running our whole country.

Sounds like he should hire better employees. A true employee™ would take the time to clean up the office themselves, because they love it!

Totally thought this was going another direction:

"Oh, my goodness!" Elon says. "That's disgusting. Can't anyone rid us of this disgusting filth?"
"But sir," I say, "these are your tweets!"

it's odd how your social media platform becomes less table when you fire the people running it ...

Indeed, it's quite likely that there is little if any operational margin. Elon Musk seems to want to cut away everything until the thing breaks, then build it back up until it just barely works. He then wrongly thinks this is the minimal necessary effort, with no margin. That's passable when the thing you're breaking is a Tesla factory or a social media platform whose consequences of failure are mostly limited to you and yours. But when you start breaking things like a large country's treasury payment system or the national nuclear safeguards, you can't tolerate any failure. Musk has shown zero understanding of how to operate something that cannot be allowed to fail.

That is pretty much how some of these toxic "hustle culture" places operate. They require almost fanatical devotion to the business. Look at the wording any time Elon Musk advertises for employees. He tells people up front that they'll be working long hours at high stress levels with low pay. But it's going to be so very glorious. His script kiddies have their wives and children living at work, because they aren't allowed to go home.

Gee, if we only knew whom to believe.
 
man, he'll just lie about anything, little or big, with no regard for anyone but himself.

Several groups are laughing at Musk's tweets about the attack. He's posting thing like "TRACKING!" which is like in TV Police Dramas where they look at a blurry photo and say "ENHANCE!"

Musk and Dump were meant for each other. Just as immature, whiny, and devoid of manners. Wonder if they'll have time to marry before one kills the other.
 
I remember reading somewhere that an actual tech company said that it appeared to be an attack. It didn't have any of the markings of a code error. I'll see if I can track it down.
 
For some reason I had to complete a seemingly never-ending captcha style verification when I went on to Twitter this evening and this message popped up.

Several other people I follow and talk to on Twitter got the same thing.

The only thing we have in common is laughing at the Gammons and MAGAs.

We’ve added a temporary label to your account which may impact its reach.

Why does my account have a label?
Transparency on X is very important. This is why we are letting you know that we have found your account may contain spam or be engaging in other types of inauthentic behaviors. You may not engage in behaviors that manipulate X or artificially impact how content is discovered and amplified.
What does this mean for my account?
The reach of your account may be limited and its content may also be temporarily restricted, such as being excluded from trends, replies, and recommended notifications.

Update:

“We broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi,” says singer Ken Casey. “Then someone else took our handle, pretending to be our official account, so we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to that—which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended. Look, we pulled our account because we didn’t want to be part of that guy’s empire. But if we were still on there, I’m sure he would have suspended us by now.”
