“It will be extremely hard for Twitter to recover from here”

My popcorn supply won't even be gone as quickly as that $44B is!

This is what comes of all "stable geniuses," I guess.

At this point I truly believe that Musk is deliberately sabotaging Twitter to force it into bankruptcy.

To what end?

To what end?

To cancel debts. He’ll still lose money but not as much. It could go into receivership and be taken control of by his debtors which gives him an exit out of this clusterfrak.

An alternative scenario may be he's getting existing employees to resign voluntarily so their jobs can re-advertised to others at a lower salary with longer hours - there won't be a shortage of applicants in the current economic situation.

What "current economic situation" (in the world of IT, there really isn't one)? Those leaving Twitter wouldn't be running for the doors if they thought that there was nothing out there awaiting them.

There’s ways to do that without causing a major news incident or crippling the ability of the company to function. Companies do layoffs all the time. What’s happening at Twitter is just insane.

Unless the goal is to destroy the brand, which Musk can do... but he's going to pay for it dearly.

 

[britechguy]

To cancel debts.

That will not save him from the certain-to-come spate of lawsuits from his backers over all this. And he can't shield himself even close to entirely from either legal or financial responsibility.

I think he's just finally been put in a situation where he's been left entirely to his own devices and the megalomania is completely unchecked.

This is unhinged, in every sense. The only people I feel sorry for are former and current Twitter employees. No one deserves what's happened except Elon Musk.

 

[Sky-Knight]

Maybe the people of this planet will finally internalize being an employee of anyone is akin to being enslaved to that someone? Which is why our governments are supposed to be huge, while the businesses are kept small.

This wouldn't be so bad if there was another twitter to go work for, but there isn't. And it's not like Meta and Truth social need all those people.

I think this was all part of his game plan, he just wanted the name/the brand. Got something up his sleeve for down the road.

Lot's of life can inhabit stables. Including jackasses.

When I heard that Musk was suddenly reinstating Trump's account, all that ran through my mind was the line of dialog that comes before the number, I Simply Cannot Do It Alone, from Chicago: "And now, an act of desperation . . ."

Until the next DDoS takes it down. They no longer have the staff to handle major outages.

Twitter’s Broken Its Copyright Strike System, Users Are Uploading Full Movies

Last night, it became apparent that Twitter's automated copyright strike/takedown system was no longer functional.

Twitters users seem content to ensure Twitter dies to being sued for publishing copyrighted materials, a slower death but certain.

Quick someone upload all the Marvel stuff! We'll get to watch the Mouse get mad!
