Please, you don't get it, V. GWB is pissed off his COVID bullshit can be challenged in the open now, and he's not about to forgive anyone or offer any reasonable time for anything.
Elon Musk gutted Twitter’s content moderation team—now he’s worried about ‘tyranny’ if Apple deplatforms him https://fortune.com/2022/11/29/elon-musk-twitter-apple-tyranny-free-speech/
Musk has let ALL the banned right-wing posters of hate and violence back on the platform plus all the Covid misinformation con artists. "The change comes as technology newsletter Platformer says employees are scrambling to restore more than 62,000 suspended accounts. That figure could include some of the more than 11,000 accounts that were suspended for violating the company’s Covid-19 misinformation rules." Twitter stops policing Covid-19 misinformation under CEO Elon Musk and reportedly restores 62,000 suspended accounts https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/29/twi...id-19-misinformation-under-ceo-elon-musk.html Elon Musk Is Turning Twitter Into a Haven for Nazis Musk has welcomed neo-Nazis back onto the platform, engaged with them on his timeline, and posted multiple tweets that appeal directly to them. https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7zm9q/elon-musk-twitter-nazis-white-supremacy
As Musk returns thousands of accounts of banned right-wing extremists, Twitter “is going to turn into Gab with crypto scams.” Left-Wing Voices Are Silenced on Twitter as Far-Right Trolls Advise Elon Musk Elon Musk appears to have out-sourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform’s right-wing extremists. https://theintercept.com/2022/11/29/elon-musk-twitter-andy-ngo-antifascist/ Elon Musk claims to be “fighting for free speech in America” but the social network’s new owner appears to be overseeing a purge of left-wing activists from the platform. Several prominent antifascist organizers and journalists have had their accounts suspended in the past week, after right-wing operatives appealed directly to Musk to ban them and far-right internet trolls flooded Twitter’s complaints system with false reports about terms of service violations. As the Los Angeles City Councilmember Mike Bonin noted on Twitter, the suspended users include Chad Loder, an antifascist researcher whose open-source investigation of the U.S. Capitol riot led to the identification and arrest of a masked Proud Boy who attacked police officers. The account of video journalist Vishal Pratap Singh, who reports on far-right protests in Southern California, has also been suspended. (More at above url)
Twitter can now allow the truth to come out which is what infuriates extreme liberals like GWB. In addition, we have the added bonus of thousands of Twitter employees are now begging for jobs on Linked In? These are the same extreme liberals thumbing their noses at their new boss, Elon Musk? Remember that? Woke company CEOs promising to hire them. It is like a puzzle where the parts fit perfectly. So, these hateful, intolerant, woke, extreme liberals will work for woke, extreme liberal CEOs. How long before they turn and bite the hands that feed them? The lazy slugs true colors will come out shortly and I cannot wait for these woke CEOs to layoff those lazy slugs when they refuse to do the jobs they were hired for.
Such a "genius" -- failing to pay employees and whining about them leaving, wondering why all the advertisers are fleeing as he turns the platform into a hate-filled cesspool, and generally being a textbook example of poor management leading to the demise of a business. How not to manage a business, starring Twitter's Elon Musk https://www.computerworld.com/artic...e-a-business-starring-twitters-elon-musk.html By the time you read this, there's a decent chance Twitter will be dead in the water. Technically, there are many reasons I can safely predict its coming crash, but I'm not here to talk about Twitter remote procedure calls (RPCs) or its SMS Two-Factor Authentication failures. No, even worse than the technical land mines ahead for Twitter are billionaire Elon Musk's management blunders. I know, some of you are saying, "Musk is a genius! You just don't understand!" Actually, I do. Musk is brilliant...at some things. He has great engineering vision. He has passion. That's why he is largely responsible for the commercialization of space with SpaceX and the rebirth of the electric car with Tesla. But — and this is a big but — just because you're great at one thing doesn't mean you're even competent at other things. I'm a pretty good writer, but only a fool would hire me to write an opera aria or do even simple carpentry. I know what my limits are. Musk doesn't. [ Related: How IT must adapt to the emerging hybrid workplace ] After months of fighting with Twitter management, Musk finally ended up grossly overpaying for the social media powerhouse. So, what's the first thing he does? He tries to save money by firing half the staff. After months of uncertainty, Twitter staff morale was already in the pits. Even if you've kept your job, you go to work feeling like crap. Besides, who do you report to now? What's your job today? It sure can't be the same as it was the day before. But wait! There are more job cuts. And, whoops! He accidentally fired some essential people. Got to hire them back! Sure, Musk has done this management by hysteria and fear before. You know what, though? Software services aren't cars or rockets. No one at Twitter is going to Mars or revolutionizing how we travel. There's no overriding vision. There's no startup with golden stock options. There's just an existing, unprofitable social network. And even as tech layoffs make the news, the underlying reality is the tech unemployment rate is a paltry 2.3%. Another, better job is just down the 101 for many of Twitter's remaining employees. Besides, throwing more hours at software development doesn't work. We've known that since Fred Brooks published "The Mythical Man-Month" in 1975. So, can anyone be surprised that Twitter employees are quitting? With every worker who quits, another bit of technical expertise walks out the door. Many of the best and brightest have already left. As Will Norris, former Twitter open-source lead, told me, "Pretty much all of the key people that were working on open source at Twitter have left. All of the engineers that I worked with on open source are gone." Twitter, by the way, runs on open-source software. Those developers Musk showed working at 1:30 in the morning? It's just a stupid publicity stunt. The programmers I know aren't fond of pointless meetings at the best of times. But you do what you must to preserve your job if you don't have a choice. Just don't expect any runnable code to come out of it. Leaving that aside, Twitter still needs to make money, so besides cutting vital staffers and making the rest of them miserable, Musk's Twitter is also refusing to pay its bills. And as part of his usual playbook, Musk is also threatening Twitter employees and its debtors with bankruptcy. I've always found that works well with friends, partners, and employees. Of course, he could always, I don't know, increase income. Historically, Twitter has done that with advertising. So, what does he do? He alienates advertisers. Musk makes the idiotic claim that advertisers are against free speech. No, they just don't want to be associated with racism, Donald Trump, and smut. Imagine that! Twitter Blue rebranding that gave any user who'd pony up $8 per month any name they wanted. Not long afterward, a fake Eli Lily account "announced" that "insulin is free now." A few billion dollars of market cap loss later, Musk pulled this change, while Eli Lily pulled its advertising. I don't expect it’ll ever come back. Would you? And how can we forget Musk's most popular tweet to date, an image of a woman showing her bare bottom (covered by a Twitter logo) to Jesus, who's labeled "Trump.” Classy, eh? Is this the service you want representing your brand? I sure don't. Musk is driving Twitter's business into the ground. Heck, maybe he wants to force it into bankruptcy. To quote F. Scott Fitzgerald, "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me… They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are… Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different." Not better, different.
