- In an all hands, Parag told the audience in the office to “make some noise” for the viewers on the livestream. All anyone tuned into the livestream could hear was pindrop silence. - Elon somehow went into a long tangent about Aliens during his AMA with the company before the acquisition went through. - Elon brought a bunch of Tesla goons with him to the SF office. There they printed out code of Tweeps and went over it with them like a tutoring session in college. - Many of Elon’s Tesla goons kept making public slack channels with sensitive information. This is how the layoff counts were leaked. - David Sacks had kept his calendar public with an event for “RIF”. When Casey Newton revealed this on Twitter, they privated EVERYONE’s calendar in the company because they didn’t know how to privatize their events/calendars only. Then David Sacks and Elon took their calendars completely off the system. - This guy: https://twitter.com/NotParagAgrawal - Elon employed an army of lawyers to try to get out of his Twitter deal or at least settle for a better price. After dragging it out for almost 6 months he bought it at the original deal and now also had to pay his lawyers hundreds of millions in legal fees. - #SleepWhereYouWork: https://twitter.com/esthercrawford/status/1587709705488830464 - Elon publicly haggling the price down from $20 a month to $8 a month. Reminder, this was a huge part of his plan to pay back his loans and he changed his mind in a matter of days on how to handle it. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1587312517679878144 - Elon previously wanted the price of Twitter Blue to be $2 a month. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1512964005060657156 - “Free speech.” => “No. $8 a month speech.” - Parag sending Elon a block of text and for Elon to respond “What did you get done this week?” https://twitter.com/TechEmails/status/1575598387335901190 - Elon tried to claim more than 80% of Twitter’s users could be bots with zero evidence. Apparently he also tried to use some third party bot tracking tools which are highly inaccurate. https://youtu.be/CnxzrX9tNoc Both previous leadership and new leadership are extremely incompetent.
I guess all those FSD engineers will be writing twitter code now.
Someone seems a bit biased. You can use Twitter without paying $8, right? Elon is one of the few people actually getting shit done in this country. To do that, you have to push people and make unpopular decisions.
Musk being wrong about how to upright Twitter and Twitter already being a dumpster fire aren’t mutually exclusive. I quit using Twitter when I got tired of seeing bots on most conversations that were of any interest. And at the same time, I am skeptical of Musk’s plans to fix Twitter. I don’t even know what’s the target “fixed” state he’s looking at? Is it a dollar value in terms of revenue or profits, is it a certain metric in terms of user growth or engagement? Both? None? The stated goal of making Twitter the global digital town square is ambiguous at best, to me.
The whole global digital town square is BS. That’s reddit, not twitter. Reddit has a lot more engaging and depth discussions on all different topics and news than twitter. Twitter doesnt even have conversational tree comments done well.
This is the only post that needs to be on Twitter Blind right now
I’m sorry I’m really out of the loop, why does Elon listen to jason and David sacks?
I find the ex-twitter leadership extremely competent in that they stood up to musk, made him eat shit and hold his end of the deal. Respect from me, atleast on that front!
Why In the world do you people keep saying free speech => $8 a month free speech It doesn't even make sense 🤣
He’s just trying to score points. Dont look for logic.
Meanwhile I'm watching all this drama unfold live on Twitter for free. 8 dollars don't do the justice of how entertaining this all is lmao.
