First, Elon Musk banned users who politely criticized him for peddling misinformation about the Paul Pelosi assault. Now he is banning users who are demonstrating what a mockery the verified user check mark is on their account by switching their names to "Elon Musk" --- Musk is effectively banning users for demonstrating the faults of his verified policy and platform. Elon Musk’s response to fake verified Elon Twitter accounts: a new permanent ban policy for impersonation https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/6/23443871/elon-musk-twitter-permaban-impersonation-parody
Hey everyone, post whatever the f@ck you please on Twitter. Musk basically stopped all content moderation whatsoever until after the U.S. mid-term election is over. Racist and hate content is now up several thousand percent on Twitter. Twitter restricts staff from policing content violations ahead of US midterms https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy...cing-content-violations-ahead-of-us-midterms/
Musk's leadership at Twitter is a classic example of failed business leadership that will go down in history as a case study of poor leadership taught in business schools across the world. Let's take a look at the latest. Twitter suddenly discovers they laid off all the senior software engineers and architects who can possibly implement the new features that Musk desires. Does this sound like a rational way to identify the people included in a layoff? Twitter Now Asks Some Fired Workers to Please Come Back Twitter management trying to bring back dozens of workers Some employees now needed or were laid off by mistake https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...w-asks-some-fired-workers-to-please-come-back Twitter Inc., after laying off roughly half the company on Friday following Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition, is now reaching out to dozens of employees who lost their jobs and asking them to return. Some of those who are being asked to return were laid off by mistake, according to two people familiar with the moves. Others were let go before management realized that their work and experience may be necessary to build the new features Musk envisions, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. Twitter cut close to 3,700 people this week via email as a way to trim costs following Musk’s acquisition, which closed in late October. Many employees learned they lost their job after their access to company-wide systems, like email and Slack, were suddenly suspended. The requests for employees to return demonstrate how rushed and chaotic the process was. A Twitter spokesperson did not reply to a request for comment. Twitter’s plan to hire back workers was previously reported by Platformer. “Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day,” Musk tweeted on Friday. Twitter has close to 3,700 employees remaining, according to people familiar with the matter. Musk is pushing those who remain at the company to move quickly in shipping new features, and in some cases, employees have even slept at the office to meet new deadlines. Over the weekend, Twitter rolled out a new Twitter Blue subscription plan, offering a verification check mark for any user who pays $8 a month. The company also said it will soon be launching other features, including half the ads, the ability to post longer videos and get priority ranking in replies, mentions and searches.

Here is your proof.. Musk announced in April he wanted to buy Twitter....Stock went from $375 - $198 right now... I dont think that is just because overall market has fallen in this time period too since Tesla continues to go down lower even when market recovered. No way shareholders can be happy with a CEO focused on a website and ignoring growing competition in EV market. How could the market have faith in an EV compan selling a luxury item when its CEO is more concerned with politics and a website right as we had into tougher economic times ahead and the whole market will be down with slow demand... I might buy some JAN24 $50 PUT strike lottery tickets and just let it sit there for the crash haha.
GWB going to be out on the ledge again. Let's give him some extra support today. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/mu...licans-us-midterm-elections-tweet-2022-11-07/ Elon Musk recommends voting for Republicans in U.S. midterm elections
