He's banned links before, and he's doing it again

I love how we can watch in real time how Musk gets new toys
musk doesn't give a shit about chuds and their grift beyond how to leverage it for attention.
and anyway at this point he thinks he's got them locked in, and now is fully into the enshittification of Twitter 2.0:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys
"surpluses are first directed to users; then, once they're locked in, surpluses go to suppliers; then once they're locked in, the surplus is handed to shareholders and the platform becomes a useless pile of shit."
Twitter first got the chudiverse audience online again by being the place they can be assholes at minorities without getting banned. then they got all the chud "creators" in by charging $8 per month to get their shit shoved in front of everyone. now it is time to milk everyone for maximum returns* by preventing them from redirecting to other platforms.
*not enough to pay the interest on the loans lol.
Speaking of the chudiverse, Substack got face eaten mighty quick
”Deleting things from the internet doesn't work" says man who literally today turned off access to Substack. I dunno, Elon, but I'm getting mixed messages here.
Calling it, just a matter of time before Twitter becomes like those message boards where they have a ridiculous amount of badges you can assign yourself\earn, and Tweets starts rolling into your feed like a parade of North Korean generals
Wait...is this suggesting that Elon lied? I find that hard to believe
he doesn't know, no one has told him anything even remotely like this, he is just typing words that sound like they make sense in his head. these words are only tangentially related to the subject, and have nothing at all to do with what actually happened, is happening, or why.
he’s learned well from trump. the excuse doesn’t need to be true or even make sense, it just has to exist
lmao searching for "from:mtaibbi" now returns no results
watch their already radium-ass codebase end up with load-bearing bans like SA
honestly it’s impressive he’s even got paul fucking graham dunking on him
Let him have his fun and dick around with the office sign! The future is looking bright!

Advertisers are coming back!
"Colgate-Palmolive’s vice president and general manager of consumer experience and growth, Diana Haussling, wrote to the group that she was “both excited for the success of the conference while also mindful of the harmful and often racist rhetoric of Elon Musk."
Good luck Elon!
Twitter Blue subscribers might want to check their financials
lol if you let your bank info get anywhere near twitter
We know this isn't true because a dog could run Twitter a lot better than Musk ever could

1/3 of the web is WordPress lol

if Microsoft drops then more will follow

lol i just remembered elon already hates microsoft because he thinks they control chatgpt
lol when wired stops posting on twitter
it owns that elons father is just the worst person and hates everyone
https://the-sun.com/news/7911051/elon-musks-dad-errol-emerald-business/
elon's making his llm alright
it's funny because the api was already killed
so this is just being extra petty
https://mashable.com/article/block-the-blue-twitter-campaign-dril
removing the screenshots but not the offending posts, big priorities
elon just deleting tweets pretending the author deleted them
the aparteid enjoyer has really been going hard on right-wing shit
going all in on conspiracy theories about the Dallas shooter, promoting and replying to tweets saying it was a false flag and it doesn’t make sense, the guy’s nazi tattoos aren’t real, etc. this is in addition to his recent stuff about violence, black people, and the media, which was all naked racism.
Reminder that NPC is the term terminally online Nazis use to dehumanize anyone who disagrees with them. Literally "other people are not fully realized people and are just objects for me to interact with as I please"

christ his feed is dire recently. they are really desperate to make that guy seem like hes not a nazi for some reason
anyway there are occasional smartest ceo in the universe comments
its really interesting to watch this guy try to moderate his terrible takes to be whatever he thinks "centrist" is because its always the dumbest shit imaginable
Also yeah looks like he’s straight up deleting the accounts of dead people now
@cspam this is really bad, really really really really bad!
:(
