Source for most staff didn't do shit? "Trust me bro"?

What I've said is verifiable truth. You're claiming something you can cannot even come close to proving.

And if he's such a business whiz why did space x and tesla almost go bankrupt under him? Why are they only profitable under govt subsidies? How was Twitter profitable before his takeover?

You don't even have arguments just wild claims with nothing to back them.

He fired literally thousands of employees and the website is still running fine today. Zero issues. Wtf do you think that means dumbass? means all those people working for twitter were not doing anything. Tesla and Space X are not "almost" going bankrupt. Where did you even hear that rumor from? Space X is a $74 BILLION Dollar company moron. Stop listening to CNN and Fox News.

It does not. Software generally does not need regular maintenance as often as machinery. It will keep going to a point when api's go out of date. It's a slow degeneration that wouldn't happen in an instant. I've been in the industry 15 years. It doesn't just break down day 1.

Also the source of the bankruptcy info is Elon musk himself. I didn't say they were bankrupt today just that he'd driven them to that point, you've performed a typical strawman. Source:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.c ... -ramp.html

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.c ... tence.html

So once again verifiable fact. He said it himself.

Do you think that if you're lashing out at people to defend a stranger that doesn't care about you that you might be too invested in them emotionally? He's a con man. Don't buy his snake oil. Even if he's sold a lot of it, he's still running on promises he can't keep and big government welfare checks

Eh, while companies often get bloated with surplus employees espeacially in companies where the work is pretty abstract or the bureaucracy becomes it's own beast. The likelihood that everyone who got the Axe was non-vital or unhelpful is just pure wishful thinking. That being said I remember there were some threats of sabotage flying around when the inexplicably dramatic reaction to Elon buying Twitter first came up.

Personally I don't know why people panicked about it. Oh no! their going to bring Donald Trump back on Twitter. Yes, because the guy who launched a country wide targeted advertising campaign that swapped out the contents of it's adverts and campaign promises based on data about the local demographics political interests. Was totally being prevented from subverting the public through information warfare by being banned from Twitter. :roll:

Oh no! It'll be less moderated! Twitter was never properly moderated, the most moderated thing was the trending tab. The actual tweets? Not so much.

Oh no! Twitter will suck! It already does suck.

Oh no! We'll get fired! This one is probably the only actually legitimate concern since drastic changes at a company are never easy on employees. But I've only got access to this timeline and can't see into alternate versions of events. So if there hadn't been such a weirdly dramatic and visceral reaction to the idea of Musk buying the platform and threats of sabotage hadn't been thrown out there I'm not sure how bad the sacking would be.

Granted there's also the fact that Musk and Co likely knew Twitter wasn't worth that much and were aiming to pretend ignorance and Sue over that. But the only ones who should be thinking about that is Twitters original board of directors and investors. I wouldn't expect the average Twitter employee to have been close enough to the dealings to gauge what Musk's intentions were or how things would pan out. Yet everyone acted pre-emptively like the world was ending.

Does Musk really have that atrocious of a business profile? Didn't his own ex-partner and kid snitch on him that he never comes home and just lives in the workplace? Sounds unhinged and unhealthy sure, but it also doesn't sound like the actions of someone who doesn't care about their job. Rather it sounds like the behaviour of someone who cares too much about their job to the point it supersedes familial bonds and the ability to maintain a healthy work life balance.

Elon Musk is a rich person and Rich people are crazy, he's a CEO and CEOs? Also crazy. You'd have to be to want that much responsibility and control over something and to have the sheer arrogance to think you had a chance in hell of making it work. So yeah, I don't trust Rich CEOs as far as I could throw them and I doubt I could throw them all that far. But I don't see what makes Elon Musk different from any other maladjusted weirdo that manifests from the primordial goo at the upper echelons of society? I suppose he's slightly richer, and the shark smile almost looks friendly if you block out your inner lizard instincts. But there's nothing uniquely terrible to him.

So I'm not sure I get why everyone decided to be so firmly set on not letting him buy Twitter. Oh no, our new Overlord! Exactly like the Old Overlord, right down to the inability to care if his minions live or die! Yet people are out here acting like Scar ursurped Mufasa.

Yes he fired a ludicrous amount of people, but I'm not convinced he'd have been so swift and indiscriminate about it if there hadn't been threats of sabotage involved. Which I think people overlook cause it's not as neat of an explanation as "they all didn't deserve it" or "they all did deserve it" because it suggests that a small amount of people deserved it and a disproportionately large amount of people were made to pay for it.

If working for twitter is anything like working for facebook. Losing their jobs just might be saving their minds. Or the studies done on some of those facebook workers were pocky-cock. The ones where they tested individuals before and after subjecting them to something and found them more susceptible to believing what they were introduced into. Like flat earthing. And any pseudoscience.

I honeslty doubt that twitter will just delete itself or blowup. It'll just change. I thought tumbly instagrams and tik tok where all dead but I think not? Or people never update their profiles anymore.

It'll fade into obscurity, like MySpace did and Facebook is doing. It'll be one of those places that no one bothers with anymore. It'll take some years, but that's the fate of all social media that becomes "uncool".

As for the journalists using it, if they were smart they'd get together and make their own moderated service, with real name only accounts. That would cut back on the trolling and make that part of whatever they decide to name it useful for news and severe weather updates and the like. Protesters in autocracies couldn't use it, but they are better off some some encrypted service anyway to organize.

And Musky-boy could warm himself by the 40-odd billion dollars he used as kindling.

Unless Twitter actually dies - which I don't see happening - I don't think mastodon will have anywhere near the audience or content

I always wondered why some Artists use Twitter-Only. I mean to use it as optional page to get reach its fine but especially in the Vore-Size/GTS-Community are a lot of Twitter-Only-Artists.

Twitter just sucks as Gallery, you cant really search for Art, you have to scroll your finger dead to reach older content of this Artist, next to all shitposts/memes of them. You cant really have favorites, its also scrollable, plus the Text of descriptions/comments is heavily limited.
At the start when most GTS creators went there I tried to use it, but at this point I gave up and Twitter-Only-Artists dont exists for me. Why use Twitter if there are so much better Gallery-Sites? That always bothered me...

So I think its may a good that all this happens to Twitter now, to let some people realize they should build their audience on multiple pages and not rely on a single one, since it can backfire fast (See Tumblr / Pronhub)



Tldr: Twitter feels like a step backward in terms of Art-Gallery, I have to use Browser-Bookmarks to re-find my old stuff or save it manually on my computer. We have Art-Pages so use them and use Social media as optional addition (to reach more ppl). Twitter is mostly to Art "Scroll, like, forget" which is sad

If twitter dies, i will be the first to dance on its grave. I hope it takes tumblr, facebook, instagram, tiktok and the entire social media bubble down with it. No more normie web, give the internet back to us nerds.
