One good thing that has come out of all this is that I learned about this guy that just got fired from Twitter - he cartooned about his time at twitter and through the recent stuff. The Elon stuff starts a ways down, but all of it is very good. I wish Manu the very best as he moves on
(The 9th comic down…hee hee)
An article about the now gone tweet, and other ways that Elon is effing up verification
Did he also stamp his little feet? I am sure there are lots of people at Twitter that would able to do just as good a job at working remotely and simultaneously destroying multiple business across the country as he does
If that’s his escape plan for when the Feds come to get him then I’m all for it.
This just further shows that for all the fanboying about how great he is because he “thinks like an engineer” isn’t based on any actual facts.
With every proclamation I see like this, I reduce my estimate of how long it will be before Twitter basically implodes due to mismanagement.
Heck, Russia’s been bragging about doing such stuff for years. Musk has just laid out the red carpet for them.
(Yes, I meant that color reference: two ways)
Troubled social media giant Twitter has lost the services of its chief information and security officer to cap off another chaotic week following its acquisition by Elon Musk.
[…]
Chief privacy officer Damien Kieran and chief compliance officer Marianne Fogarty are also said to have exited. And, separately, it’s reported that the world’s richest man has told Twitter staff that work-from-home is banned, and that tweeps need to work 40 or more hours a week from the office from now on.

If they are bypassing governance for anything involving payments or feeds to financials they they are also likely to fail SOX 404 and PCI audits. This could potentially cost them their ability to process credit card payments in addition to the FTC being upset.
It will also undermine the work done internally over years and years to create a culture of compliance in their IT groups. I spent 10 years building one at a fortune 500 corporation almost two decades ago and any time exception to the processes resulted not just in issues down the line for that project, but let other groups think they did not have to follow the rules.
Honestly, I think Twitter is done. Not as a platform (though that too), but as a functioning business
ETA:
There it is!
ETA: also if he is doing this at one company he is probably doing it at all of them - let’s get some investigations going!
ETA: I did sort of forget that Sox no longer applies, since they are private now, but I think there is still exposure for the period they were, plus it’s possible that the SEC has not received the documention that they are private, since apparently that was due the day after the people that were supposed to file it were laid off or quit…without it being sent
Every time I see a mention of SOX I think of this song my wife ran across a decade ago while researching some finer detail of the law.
Lol! This made the rounds through our dept back then!!! I had forgotten about it! Thank you!
The big dummy is looking at all the wrong numbers in the wrong place.
He should be tracking people complaining about Twitter, who are no longer on Twitter. Worse yet, people no longer on Twitter who aren’t complaining – Twitter is dead to those people.
