Lol "Trending to breakeven" aka "even if i cherrypick a bunch of extremely favourable data points and ignore all surrounding data, the best picture I can fabricate is we'll stop losing money at some undefined point in the future, maybe"

Then again he probably didn't actually bother to do even that and is just lying so that he keeps his story straight to anyone still funneling money to him

Matt Walsh's filthy pedo face popping up in my feed like the hobo from Mulholland Drive

"Elon, I showed my bad posts to everyone and barely anyone liked them!"

"For some unknown reason nobody likes any of the weird freaks I keep shoving into everyone's timeline!"

I do have to give elon credit, making the tweet view metrics public is starting to cause a lot of petty people who are addicted to validation either feeling bad about it or pointing fingers at elon because these numbers can't possibly be right everyone loves my posts

Absolutely unstoppable juggernaut of humor and plagiarism, this Musk fellow

Musk's a bought and paid for disinfo agent. A fucking traitor.

Everything he says he's done, he's done the opposite

All grifters, all liars, all the time

People don't ask me "where moon" but then again I haven't promised anyone we're living on Mars in 10 years 10 years ago

also probably safe to assume that a doge name or avatar means that the person is one of elon's paid lackies

Trump has probably a dozen excuses like Musk just being a loser or Musk not fully committed to proving the 2020 election was fake so he is just going to stay on Truth

I'm on Team Ian Miles Cheong

Elon gonna enforce this broad acceptance by banning anyone who is mean to his nazi buddies or grifter pals like Eliza

thank you dril

Is Musk actually doing this because he started ripping out servers and is trying to get people to stop tweeting as much by limiting overall numbers? What a genius!!

I really wanna know the turnaround time from Elon dictating the terms and the code being deployed.

Also isn't that really going to fuck over companies that offer user support via Twitter? Of course they'll soon offer an option to bypass those limits for $11 a day or something.

An example of how stupid this is. To DM Xfinity Support, you need to follow each other since so many accounts have closed DMs. But Xfinity Support can't follow any new accounts until they unfollow 133,000 accounts. So they won't be able to interact with customers.

lol

guys the superbowl is this week. nobody is going home.

or perhaps people will be going home... they just won't be coming back

she's so fuckin dumb she doesn't know they're also pretty goddamn happy that dude bought them out for 44 billion

Since he overpaid so much he needs to pay off the loans he took out for his purchase but twitter is not profitable as a company so the only thing he knows to do is to monetize every possible aspect. The result is that the platform is a goner and it is going to ruin a lot of people's livelihoods

he vastly, vastly overestimates the amount of blood he can squeeze from the stone that is twitter and he'll end up killing it trying to get the last drop, like lmao why the HELL would you fuck with the ability to SOCIALIZE on a SOCIAL NETWORK, then have the audacity to charge for it???

they're gonna do all this bullshit tweaking and pissing off everyone by limiting follows or whatever then check the balance sheet at the end of the month and see only 0.01% of users forked over cash

I imagine he is getting blocked by a lot of people right now, driving down even accidental engagement.

This is a combination of sad and hilarious, because:

1) Those estimates are annualized figures based on the advertisers Twitter had at the beginning of the year and tons of major ad supporters bailed on Twitter in the first few months. So, even that figure of $19 million is likely way lower.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/02/09/twitter-ads-revenue-suspended-account/

2) That the Twitter algorithm really did massively push anti-vax and nazi accounts that made them the most profitable accounts for Musk on Twitter and he likely unbanned them right away in a desperate move to max out potential revenue.

My dopamine factory has everyone hooked! Surely nobody will run to another dopamine factory if I start charging

I'm gonna guess that the view counter is broken in that it counts of a bunch of backend processes that are scanning content for various reasons as "views"

"Just yesterday, Twitter experienced a mass outage...

Apparently, an employee unintentionally deleted data for the “internal service that sets rate limits for using Twitter,” the outlet wrote. The team of people that used to manage the rate limit service haven’t been employed at Twitter since November.

“As the adage goes, ‘you ship your org chart,’” one current employee told Platformer. “It’s chaos here right now, so we’re shipping chaos.”"

it usually doesn’t not go well when a female assault victim changes their story. juries get very skeptical, and a lot of assholes become extremely hostile against the victim.

perhaps she should have taken advice from a victim’s advocate before deciding to do this, or just watched an episode of law & order: svu

if she was sane she'd have enough of a Simp Surplus to get people to defend her music video days.

She made the mistake of CANCELING right wingers, by reporting them on YouTube for posting the video. They got banned or suspended or something which made them lose their shit and that's when things started crashing down on her.

and the grift comes tumbling down

Holy shit he's pathetic

elon musk has figured out the one weird trick for not having to pay the employees you fired: make them sign arbitration agreements, then don't select arbitrators or pay the arbitration firms

"the company is refusing to pay its share of filing fees to the arbitration company... in cases where the arbitration agreement does not specify a particular arbitration firm, Twitter will not agree on selecting an arbitrator, simply ignoring her emails to Twitter’s own lawyers."

bah! who needs ads when that sweet sweet $8/mo subscription revenue is flowing in?

They didn't

Watching them try to launch all these new idiotic features completely live and untested and then rapidly change their mind is a bit like watching a Tesla try to repeatedly try and fail to auto-park. And noticing that it really, really wants to put itself across a nearby set of train tracks...

and another thing: im not a paid bootlicker. please dont put in the newspaper that i am a paid bootlicker

lmao, "we found out your epic posts were overloading the mainframe sir"

Some engineer did a fantastic job of saving probably their entire team's jobs by pulling that whopper of a lie out of their ass

lmao he probably thinks ddos is when normal people aren't being force-fed catturd2 posts

Good to know me #BlockTheBlue'ing is killing Musk's site

This is the Roko's basilisk Elon fears, a chat program that says “trans rights”
