Things are going great at twitter!

This is amazing to me; this is a carefully phrased statement released by whatever fragments of a PR department twitter has left, and it's just not able to disguise the loopiness with corporate-speak. These are the kind of people who can reframe eradicating indigenous peoples as "revitalizing deprived areas with new investment", and they can't make Elons flailings sound anything but insane.

If you, a corporate communications professional have to use the word "extreme"*, you are in trouble. That is a scare word, and your job is to soothe your users, your board, your investors and your advertisers.

"While this work will never be done" = "this chaos is not going to end any time soon" = RUN AWAAAAAAY

* barring the use of XXXXtreme Flavor, of course

Just put it all behind a pay wall Elmo and free everyone already

big deal who even uses google to find tweets anyway twitter's search works perfectly fine and it totally doesn't matter that you have to log in to your account to use it

so it seems that some of the blue check simps are starting to realise that they can't pay to make their posts worth reading and are giving up on, leaving only the most pathetic ones still paying

steal gasoline with one weird trick car owners hate!

lmao literally just advertising crime

gas siphoners, collapsible weapons, secret fire starters, car door unlocker wands, MyPillows, only the best advertisements on ElonTwitter

Is that a fact?

Twitter is not the right place to seek information during an emergency, Dutch politicians and a prominent online group said on Wednesday, following an incident in which citizens were directed to the platform for updates during a large storm.

...

"You might see one tweet with great information from emergency services, but maybe there are 10 tweets that Twitter prioritizes which contain completely false information," he said.

Fucked over a massive portion of his workforce then gets mad when those same people go work for his rivals for better pay and job security

It's genius. Sue the lawyers that are now your lawyers only because they beat you in court and forced that dipshit to buy twitter.

lol he is so mad they beat him

at least the worst of the hate speechers are getting moderated on Threads and then running back to Twitter to cry about it

didn’t he leave a huge amount of contract money on the table to do this

I sure do love that Elon bought his favorite theme park and decided he was much happier with it as a total shithole. And now he goes ballistic that people are leaving his theme park for a shittier diet theme park that opened next door. The diet theme park's rides don't work yet but they do have a staff actively sweeping up occasionally, and that alone makes it a hugely attractive option for a big portion of what was once his exclusive clientele.

And lol that Trump successfully called a shot in not returning to twitter.

He has made his own little fiefdom, pathetic and small as it is. There was nothing really for him to gain in going back to Twitter and being potentially under someone else's control once again. It would also be a tacit admission that his network failed, and Trump wasn't going to let that happen.

as much as twitter sucks now it’s still got posters who will go down swinging

Nate sprinting past bronze, past tin, towards the grody elements that decay really quickly and have no real application

Elon: "please post your videos on my platform where nobody will be able to find them and they will immediately be flooded with blue-boosted crypto scammers and schizos in the replies."

Lol that dude isn't posting shit to Twitter until Mush puts his John Hancock on a massive contract and the check clears. Mr. Beast is gross, but he knows which side his bread is buttered on.

Musk: "please help me libsoftiktok i need your antivax strength to get people killed"

lol when MontanaSkeptic posted a SeekingAlpha article about how Tesla's books were absolutely cooked, Elon called his boss and tried to get him fired

Jesus christ, this is like reddit meltdown levels of posting.

What a sad man.

Apparently twitter is the new wingnut welfare

Very cool to start paying the worst posters for their dogshit takes, way better than paying severance.

data $0 (we aren't paying our cloud suppliers anymore)
rent $0 (we aren't paying our rent anymore)
krassenstein payments $24305
utilities $0 (see above)

someone who is good at the economy help me budget this. my company is dying

we will answer the questions. What questions? the important ones. they’re easy to answer we just haven’t asked them yet. we will find out what questions to ask. we will find the questions to the answers to the universe, and then we will be the ones who have all the questions

hey look a nerd reference, give me 44 billion dollars

The people who scream for answers on why they're not getting engagement are definitely going to calm down now that they think they're missing out on direct payments

[guy who was definitely a terrible father and also explicitly hates his trans daughter] my kids don't like me, because of jiu jitsu,

just like with gab and parler etc. the right-wing absolutely hate being in their own echo chamber because then they realise they're all antisocial freaks with shit-stained undies and zero friends

they crave having liberals to wrinkle their nose at the smell of said undies and frown at their absolutely dogshit takes

@cspam @shuttersparks

I think the term is "sea lioning"; they want to lure you into a "debate" where they continually spit lies and force you to refute evey one.

Follow

@olav @cspam Exactly. It's the same in person but they quickly become angry and threatening, and never stop talking, repeating themselves over and over. This makes it impossible to address any of their points. It's also clear they aren't listening to a single thing I say. This is why I stopped engaging at all and say nothing.

@shuttersparks @cspam

I have in the past said something to the effect of "you're boring, I'm going to go do something else" but not actually block them or anything. It's fun to watch them go full apoplectic because I don't answer
