Corcaigh Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Elon meddling with the product - must be an awesome way to develop tech. On a related topic there is a documentary on Netflix about SpaceX and the first US launch to send astronauts to the ISS since the shuttle. The folks at Mission Control say they are going to poatpone the launch because incoming weather has triggered three of the ten criteria that would stop a launch. They have not one but three ‘no-gos’ and Elon is on camera asking “are you sure we’re not overreacting?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 It should be noted that the change “twitter blue can no longer be purchased in apple iOS” is simply about Apples terms of service agreement. if your app allows purchases then apple gets a chunk. Which is why most apps, when you try to purchase things (Spotify for example) they give you a link to a website. it has nothing to do with fighting the issue at hand. It’s simply about not letting apple skim off the top of the payments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Eli Lilly stock dips after imposter account posts prank on Twitter Shares of Eli Lilly ticked downward after a fake account posed as the company on Twitter. JARED BLIKRE: Eli Lilly, that is my pick of the day. Healthcare taking a backseat in today's rally, as defensive sectors lag. And here we go because guess what? This company, too, got caught up in the maelstrom. They're dealing with an impostor account on Twitter. And earlier, that impostor account said free insulin for all. This was false. And the company is issuing a response, in which it reads, quote, "We apologize to those who have been served a misleading message from a fake Lilly account. Our official Twitter account is @lillypad." All of this is a microcosm of the chaos at Twitter as Elon Musk's push for Twitter Blue subscriptions hit a roadblock, to say the least, as we were just talking about, Dave, with Dan Howley.

The Sisko Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Let me see if I’ve got this right. Dude buys a company, then aside from royally screwing it up, proceeds to roll up his sleeves and starts personally trying to “fix” things. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an owner or CEO jump into daily customer-facing business operations and start acting as the de-facto customer service department. This is like being a fly on the wall at the Commodes’. Unlike Farquaad though, the public display of Elon’s incompetence and stupidity isn’t limited to seventeen days a year and only noticed by a small fan community.

Corcaigh Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Even if Twitter was hugely over staffed, a rational takeover would have attempted an orderly transition over 3-6months. This is a blueprint that exists for every tech company takeover, and if you don’t follow it you risk exactly what has happened. Aside from being a complete douchebag and pissing off his paying customers, firing key staff without replacements or a transition is lunacy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
