Musk's unstable Twitter 2.0 crapped out halfway through the Superbowl. Twitter suffered an outage during Rihanna's Super Bowl halftime show — its 2nd in a week — despite Elon Musk's directive to maximize stability https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/tech...-to-maximize-stability/ar-AA17qhV3?li=BBnbcA1
Twitter suffered an outage most probably because of extreme interest. Nobody cares about MSN. They are capable of writing crappy and fake stories. That is it. Boring as hell.
Ah, MSN is a news aggregator— just like Yahoo. MSN does not write stories. The original source of this story is Business Insider. It is just one of many news stories outlining Twitter’s failure during the Superbowl. So just how many times did Musk tell us that Twitter would stay up during the Superbowl… and of course it collapsed completely during the Superbowl.
You realize that it's going to take at least a couple of years for Twitter to reemerge from Musk's shock therapy. You intend to continue doing a minute by minute "See!, See!" For that long?
The irony of it too is that GWB's strategy involves re-posting tweets all day on the topic. I thought every lefty was supposed to have migrated over to some other platform/app by now to show that they would not touch that nasty ole Twitter with a ten foot pole. What's wrong with that picture, Class?
"shock therapy" is apropos. Lobotomize the host to inject your belief system. Also read: brainwashing
Don't like information from the MSN aggregator? Well, how about the Wall Street Journal article on Twitter's complete Superbowl failure?

Unless Twitter gets an immediate change in leadership and Musk becomes completely hands-off then the future is bleak. As noted by the tech community, Twitter is not simply going to disappear -- it will be become will slowly degrade over time to become next to useless and the users will flee elsewhere. We already see these predictions coming true with major outages every week. Twitter -- during the entire history of the company never had an outage during the Superbowl (a high traffic day) until Musk took over. The additional problem is the declining revenue due to Musk chasing off the majority of the large advertisers. It is becoming unlikely that Twitter will be able to make future loan payments. What a default and re-organization looks like is open to question. The future of Twitter under Musk is becoming the next MySpace.
So the Superbowl advertisers on Twitter found all of their ads being run in the account feeds of racists and hate promoters -- including those Musk let back onto Twitter. Super Bowl Advertisers Come Face to Face with Musk's 'Hellscape' https://www.freepress.net/blog/super-bowl-advertisers-come-face-face-musks-hellscape New research by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) offers the latest chapter in the rapid demise of Elon Musk’s Twitter: Major advertisers — including those featured during the Super Bowl — are paying the social network millions of dollars to drag their brands through the platform’s toxic sludge. The research features screen grabs of instances where Twitter has displayed ads from brands including Amazon, Apple TV, Merrill Lynch, the NFL and Prime Video next to tweets from self-proclaimed neo-Nazis and others known for publishing hateful content and dangerous conspiracy theories. It’s a rogues’ gallery that includes misogynist and suspected sex-trafficker Andrew Tate, white supremacist Andrew Anglin, disinformation website Gateway Pundit and COVID conspiracy theorist Rogan O’Handley (aka “DC Draino”). Musk reinstated each of the 10 inflammatory accounts that CCDH surveyed after he took control of Twitter last fall — even though each had previously committed multiple gross violations of Twitter policies designed to protect users from the spread of hate and disinformation.

Media Matters reviewed five Twitter accounts belonging to neo-Nazis, antisemites, and Holocaust deniers and found that ads for prominent companies were being slotted next to tweets from the accounts. The reach of the five Twitter accounts, which include writers, a “pseudo-academic organization,” and white nationalist YouTubers, ranges from a couple thousand followers to tens of thousand. All five of the accounts are subscribed to Twitter Blue, the subscription service that’s become one of Elon Musk’s main priorities since taking over the company. Earlier this month, Musk tweeted that Blue subscribers would get a cut of the revenue for ads placed beneath their tweets. (More at above url)
