twitter elon musk rediscovering the wheel over and over again
if there is a silver lining to this pile of elephant shit, it's in the exposure of a Supreme Business Genius as an idiot clown trying to run an imaginary company he invented out of whole cloth and learning the hard way at every turn he has no fucking idea what he's doing
I was saying, since the Brexit path was clear and Johnson's "fuck business" that the Tories were alienating one traditional constituency, of businesses, an other being wealthy landowners. It seems like a step back to the 19th Century and the Whigs being the party of enterprise and free trade.
Its now clear that the schism between the #business community & the #Tories is centred on #imigration... however, given the increasingly favourable views of migrants seen in polling data, really the only thing stopping a change in tack is #RishiSunakPM looking over his should at the hard right #Brexiters who still have their claws in the Tory party & being unwilling to call them out on their lies about #Brexit & its (supposed) benefits!

Twitter: Advertiser explaining why it’s withdrawing
Seems to be several reasons. $80 billion budget. 8%-10% previously devoted to Twitter.
Team monitored performance. Dropped markedly over the fortnight. Engagement much lower.
Brand safety issues with ads next door to antisemitic posts or adult content & nothing done when flagged.
No Twitter contact.
Adverting paused for as long as 6 years suddenly reactivated.

So Rishi Sunak (family fortune £730 million) uses a private London GP practice that offers:
💰 Same-day appts £250
💰 Home visits £400-£500
💰 Private prescriptions £80
No wonder he's happy to run the NHS into the ground with real-terms funding cuts 😔

👎 Fired: the Twitter human rights team, those working on lies, bias and online harm, the people responsible for privacy, security and safety…
👍 Welcome back: the anti-semites, liars, conspiracy theorists and all-round crazy people.
Don’t say Elon Musk has no idea of where to take Twitter.
It is VERY clear and VERY dangerous !

My understanding is that often some groups think it's better to use CW's as just ways to tidy up things and so you can look at a thread and just check the "chapter" headings first
