Twitter stinks especially badly today.
One might say it has a very unpleasant Musk.
If Nazis rejoice when you take over a social media company, you're not a free speech hero!
Elon Musk: “Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences!”
Within hours of Elon’s statement, his fans filled Twitter with racist, antisemitic, Islamophobic, homophobic, and transphobic hate speech.
Capt Smirk fired 1/2 his crew. He’s banning comics: shadow banning unverified users, boldly going where no unbridled ego has gone before.
Says, “$8/mo is the price of a latte.” True.
It’s also cheaper than a T-shirt saying “Rob me. I’m a gullible ass!”
BTW Mars mission? FAKE NEWS

Today might be a good day to download your Twitter archive. Just in case.

Elon Musk, in his first address to Twitter employees since purchasing the company for $44 billion, said that bankruptcy was a possibility, according to a person familiar with the matter

Just to be clear, Twitter senior secured bank loans- the top of the capital stack- at $0.60 implies that Twitter- for which #elonmusk paid $44 billion - is now worth less than $8 billion.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk has "continued his rash of brand unsafe actions — including amplifying conspiracy theories, unilaterally reinstating banned accounts such as that of former President Donald Trump, courting and engaging with far-right accounts, and instituting a haphazard verification scheme that allowed extremists and scammers to purchase a blue check."

Elon Musk’s abrupt suspension of several journalists who cover Twitter widens a growing rift between the social media site and media organizations that have used the platform to build their audiences.

Individual reporters with The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, Voice of America and other news agencies saw their accounts go dark Thursday.

- 20 tweets limit per day (includes retweets, quote tweets and replies)
- 4 photos or 1 video per day (media tweets are counted separately from the general tweets)
Twitter Blue users supposed to have no limits

There is not much to say about that post by #TwitterOwner Elon Musk..
He is full in supporting Russia by limiting his Starlink usage to the Ukrainians and constantly attacks Western support of those people that DEFEND themselves against an unprovoked aggressor

Twitter has a very real chance of going bankrupt in the next 12 months, with no obvious path to escaping it. In a way, that might be the company’s best hope – it is probably the only way it will escape its current owner, to be bought out at a bargain-basement price by someone else.

But before that, Musk has done the opposite of everything he promised with the site. Most users will notice that they get more annoyance from bots than they had before, abuse and hate speech is more widespread, and misinformation spreads much more easily without the site’s curation team watching for it and tackling it. Twitter is even more compliant with censorship and user data requests from dictatorships than it ever was before.
