You know, Musk might be destroying Twitter.

But....would that be such a bad thing?

I'm Twitter agnostic but this is way too hilarious to pass up

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

From an Iranian colleague, I understand that Twitter is one of the primary communication lifelines that Iranian protestors use to organize and disseminate information in their ongoing uprising against the Theocrats.

So yeah...I think it would, unfortunately.

:lol:



On a personal level the company I work for is hiring in privacy and data science teams more generally and have apparently been hit by an absolute wave of very good CVs in the last week from Twitter people (fired and not). I imagine after that initial wave of "firings" lots of people who've done well enough to make a move and care about what they'll do will be trying to get out.

In a normal business leaders are really focused on how they retain the people who really care and are good. Even if everything somehow stabilises I suspect those are the people who'll leave and it might just be long slow degradation - limited resources/bad brand on the outside and good people not around on the inside.

Thats just bananas.

Apparently Lilly took a beating in the stock exchange and their stock price dropped by something like 5% because of that tweet impersonating them. How long until Musk is sued by one of these impersonated companies?

Seen on the webs:

"Can Elon Musk buy FOX News next?"

The correlation is hilarious, but the causation is spurious.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I agree, but I wonder if twitter has any legal exposure on this...It will be hard to disprove the correlation as our legal system is not competent to assess that, and the BS account for Eli Lilly was a "verified user".

On LinkedIn of all places I'm seeing defences of this move.
Can't find them again but some cope at work about how this is all a great plan that is going to work.
In reply to a post about it perfectly shows why you should research things before launch.
