âWorks for me,â is the response I expect immediately before learning that DownDetector exists. Was there a tirade against DownForEveryoneOrJustMe for contradicting him? Did any employee need to publicly explain to him that Twitter isnât the only thing they monitor?
ETA: Seeing some posts that people are being logged into the wrong account. Accounts they controlled anyway, so far.

âHours later, Musk tweeted that âsignificant backend server architecture changesâ had been made and that âTwitter should feel fasterâ.â
well, loading an error screen and not displaying content certainly would be fast.
i have to admit, heâs pretty smart that elon. maybe he can charge advertisers to sponsor the error popups. thatâd be double genius

Smart: firing all the moderators and forcing users to delete their own tweets after being suspended.
Genius: firing the advertising team and forcing users to turn the Fail Whale into other corporate mascots after receiving errors.

Itâs pretty much a given at this point that the general public knows that he conducts meetings and management sessions like this.
The folks who actually run things for him at Tesla are just as aware as everyone else

I donât quite get those two tweets.
Should I know who Robert Evans is?
Second, Tateâs gonna make money regardless of whether Thunberg pays attention to him. And since attention matters so much now, she got far more of it from their mini Tweet battle than he did.

âBtw, donât be too bothered by stock market craziness. As we demonstrate continued excellent performance, the market will recognize that,â
Continued excellence that requires end of year discounts at a company that doesnât discount? Pull the other one, itâs got bells on.

We know for sure that it is not THE Robert Evans (heâs dead, Jim), much less the only one.
I think that you are right that Greta comes out ahead, but it is disturbing how much engagement Tate gets from his bullshit

In the late 2010s and early 2020s, Evans produced a variety of content about 8chan, an anonymous message board, as well as the Gamergate controversy movement, a movement he describes as largely organically generated, with some direction given by white supremacists and extremists with long experience in radicalizing people on internet forums.

Thanks, he sounds like one of the good guys. I still disagree though with his implication that Thunberg shouldnât have reacted to Tateâs bullshit.

Also kind of hypocritical since he makes fun of assholes online all the time.

This is quite a lot, butâŚ
Since early November, Mr. Musk has sought to save about $500 million in nonlabor costs, according to an internal document seen by The New York Times. He has also laid off or fired nearly 75 percent of the companyâs work force since completing the purchase.
âŚ
Cost-cutting has been overseen by Steve Davis, the head of Mr. Muskâs tunneling start-up the Boring Company, and Jared Birchall, the head of the billionaireâs family office. Twitter managers who didnât lose their jobs in mass layoffs last month have been told to approach their spending with a tactic known as âzero-based budgeting,â or operating under the assumption that spending should start at nothing and teams should justify individual costs, according to the costs-savings document.

SoâŚdrowning Twitter in a bathtub

A very dirty one.
Last week, Twitter got rid of the cleaning staff at its New York offices and 10 people from corporate security, signaling that it may close one of its two buildings there, said two people familiar with the move.
At Twitterâs San Francisco headquarters, where the company has missed rent payments, Mr. Musk has done the same, consolidating workers onto two floors and closing four. He also canceled janitorial services earlier this month, after those workers went on strike for better wages.
That has left the office in disarray. With people packed into more confined spaces, the smell of leftover takeout food and body odor has lingered on the floors, according to four current and former employees. Bathrooms have grown dirty, these people said. And because janitorial services have largely been ended, some workers have resorted to bringing their own rolls of toilet paper from home.
I think he was back there maybe one day since Qatar.

He probably thinks âitâs online why does it need physical offices, and staff?â After, of course, insisting that everyone return to working at the officeâŚ
