Uh Oh. I did it. I "liked" a Bernie Sanders quote.

You are going to have to fight Reality to see who gets to give Musk the rusty trombone first.

You're the one in here constantly focused on him 24/7. And now you're trying to point the fingers at others?

I'm sorry that Elon dumped you and you can't get over it.

So Twitter seems to be going really poorly right now. 

It is the weirdest self own at this point. 

Literally the headline at CNN this morning.

Things are looking very bad for Twitter.

On the platform Thursday evening, where #RIPTwitter was the top trend worldwide, users wrote what they feared might be their last posts, offering apprehensive goodbyes and listing the other (more stable) social media platforms where they can still be found.

They were reacting to the dire news emanating from inside Twitter. Scores of remaining employees at the social media company on Thursday appeared to reject owner Elon Musk’s ultimatum to work “extremely hardcore,” throwing the communications platform into utter disarray and raising serious questions about how much longer it will survive.

Inside the company’s Slack, a mass resignation effectively occurred after Musk’s 5pm deadline for employees to arrive at a decision passed. Hundreds of staffers appear to have called it quits, accepting Musk’s offer to exit in exchange for three months of severance.

Employees flooded the “#social-watercooler” channel with the salute emoji, indicating that they had chosen not to sign Musk’s pledge. A similar series of events unfolded in the Slack channel earlier this month as Musk eliminated roughly 50% of the company’s then 7,500-person workforce.

A former Twitter executive, who recently exited the company, described the situation as a “mass exodus.” Asked about the situation, the former executive said, “Elon is finding out that he can’t bully top senior talent. They have lots of options and won’t put up with his antics.”

“They will struggle just to keep the lights on,” the former executive added.

So now you are the forum police? I thought we were allowed to talk about whatever here. Sorry if Twitter and Elon Musk (in a thread that is right now at 40 pages) is off limits. Any other topics off limits to you? I don't want to run afoul of your rules

Watch out- EternalShiny and Reality might come up for air off of Musk's balls and criticize you for daring to mock the great Elon Musk.

People are in full melt down mode on Twitter right now.

[TimHauck 3,187]

It’s probably not a bad idea to let people leave voluntarily that don’t want to be there. But they should have made that offer before the layoffs. I’m sure they laid off some people that would have liked to stay and that they wouldn’t have minded having knowing that they were going to lose so many more employees

Shows you how morally corrupted the left has become. They care more about an engineer getting shitcanned from their 4 hour a week 350k a year job than the 45k/year healthcare worker that got fired for refusing to take an experimental shot.

From what I saw last night I think a lot of them are worried twitter is going to be gone and they are going to lose a major platform for them.  Makes no difference to me but I can see it being a big deal to others.

I mean Elon himself says he wants it to be the “digital town square.”   I’m sure he’ll say it’s NBD if it disappears though 

[Hardcore troubadour 15,825]

Here is my, as usual, unique and correct take: 

Twitter succeeds - cool. No big affect on me, but lib tears are fun 

Twitter fails and is never the same: - Cool, no big affect on me, but the left loses a centralized propaganda platform. More lib tears. So it’s a win win for me.

I forget that dude posts here until I see a quote here and there, had to put him on ignore several months ago. Big time stalker vibes and just an odd dude overall. Something very off with him, just a heads up.

Plenty of righties and MAGA ideas take hold on Twitter too.

I said from the beginning I don't use Twitter- I don't care how Musk spends his money....seems though like a lot of people here spend time on there to find things to be outraged about and then pretend like they don't care about the platform.

I have no focks to give about this story. I don’t use Twitter or care about it, don’t like selective censorship, and don’t like Elon but also don’t care what he buys.
