Fan since a Fetus Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I hope Elon gets all that he deserves. that’s not meant to be a positive. I know a lot of people in a certain industry that refuse to work for him, even with more money paid for their families. **** Elon and his dad’s mining operations and slavery that he he rode in on.

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The warm act thing is interesting, none of the main news sites mention anything about it in correlation to twitters announcement of layoffs. I thought maybe the people getting layed off work outside of california but it appears several states have enacted the WARN act… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if Elon is too cheap to do that (I suspect he is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Between the workforce being gutted without any real thought given to the impact, the pay for blue check mark scheme*, the impending release of banned users, etc, I think we’re all going to witness a STUNNING transformation of the platform into an unusable pile of garbage. In like.. a couple weeks. *note I didn’t say verification. The actual new scheme is to turn the check mark into a feature of the paid twitter blue. No actual verification will take place. Anyone will be able to spin up an account, under any name, and pay for the check mark. Think of the implications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 This is what happens when you way overpay for something that doesn’t make money hes desperate to do something to make his idiotic decision hurt less. Damage control. and he’s likely the worst type of person for it. He’s bound to make it worse. He appears to be on the cusp of ruining the asset entirely, and losing big law suites over how he fired people. it’s going to be great to watch. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I have been around the Internet since the start. Probably mentioned it here before, but Twitter sucks because they force you to register to read tweets. That's not "the Internet". It's an Internet Billboard aggregator and its annoying I can't browse without an account. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can make their accounts private, but 99.99% of all tweets are open to read without an account. You just have to go to their profile page.

Corcaigh Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 What product is going to take Twitter’s place? Because it’s hard to imagine them retaining or attracting a competent workforce with this kind of behavior. Twitter tech will age very, very quickly.

Why is he talking like it’s just because of people being upset in America? I would imagine American advertisers make up >50 perecent of the total revenue of Twitter. I think what will happen is that he will default on the interest payments, the banks will take his share of the company, and resell to someone else. Probably by the end of 2023. 3 hours ago, TradeTheBeal! said: Watching cowgirl complain about “narratives” is really something. Those narratives don’t make any sense. If your company culture was destroyed in 4 days it wasn’t that great to begin with and most tech companies are laying off people. Those are the facts. I disagree with Elon that this is all other peoples fault though. He handled everything pretty poorly and is surprised it blew up in his face. I don’t think anyone but him is to blame for advertisers leaving, and I don’t think it’s unfair, and think it is an expression of speech. But no need to post bull**** to support the argument, I think. Edited November 4, 2022 by CousinsCowgirl84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
