As anticipated, Blue Check Twitter is big mad today….
(Politico) – Elon Musk began firing hundreds of Twitter employees on Friday, four days before the midterm elections, including members of the teams that work on U.S. elections and content moderation on the high-profile social-media platform.
Tweets flooded the platform on Friday, many using the hashtags #LoveWhereYouWork and #OneTeam, as employees let others know that they had been let go. Many of those posting had previously worked in roles including public policy, trust and safety, communications, engineering, marketing and human resources.
Half of Twitter’s public policy team was cut, including members of a team handling verification of politicians’ accounts, according to a person close to the company who requested anonymity. That work will now be folded into a team rolling out a subscription service that is expected to launch on Nov. 7.
[…] Friday’s layoffs, however, appear to be adding fuel to the anxieties of both users and advertisers that Twitter is gutting its ability to keep tabs on who and what shows up on its platform. And the across-the-board cuts come just as the company’s moderation systems are expected to be tested during the midterms.
In a press call, a coalition of civil rights and activists groups called #StopToxicTwitter called for a global pause on advertising in the light of the mass layoffs on Friday. […] “With today’s mass layoffs, it’s clear that Musk’s actions betray his words,” Jessica González, co-CEO of the media advocacy group Free Press, said on the call. (read more)
They should fire that Leftie racist scumbag Yoel Roth
Yes but I think he actually is a traitor to his Left
I mean he’s a scumbag all around, but he’s useful”for now”
He’s got the goods on the fired that will stop their multimillion lawsuits
He will get his in the end
Agree, he will give up whatever info the new owner wants then find himself out the door at the owner’s convenience. Think the word for folks like Mr. Roth is sneezle – sneaky weasel, or rat, always looking out for numero uno!
Rat Fink Roth Big Daddy?
Might be able to collect a lot of paychecks unburying all the dead bodies at Twitter.
Might be a full time job into 2025 or beyond…
Is he related to Hymen Roth?
Oy vey
Nope. Dude is basically an unindicted co-conspirator, who can have the tables turned on him at any moment. Musk is, of course, fully aware of that. GOOD move by Elon, if you ask me.
Let me know when the Twittler censorship fact checks on election fraud speech are removed.
I will not take that Young Global Leader (Elon) seriously until then.
Like you, I’m withholding judgement. He is an enigma, but he has said certain things that make me very suspicious. For example, he’s all in on the beastly jab. That alone makes me wonder.
That fact alone tells me he really is absolutely clueless about how many millions of people have died and continue to die due to these, ( As hundred’s of censored medical experts around the world refer to them as ) slow acting lethal injections .
Government reports prove COVID Vaccination is killing Hundreds of Thousands every week & Confidential Pfizer Docs. confirm your Government knew it would happen
https://expose-news.com/2022/10/16/covid-jab-killing-millions-gov-knew-it-would-happen/
Do you have a reference for that?
THE VACCINE DEATH REPORT – Millions Have Died From The Injections
THE VACCINE DEATH REPORT
https://stopworldcontrol.com/report/
Excess deaths have continued unabated
You see how he wont mention a word about the elephant in the room? (death jabs) Why do you think that is?
and that look on his face. Like he just found out he mistakenly led thousands of people to their deaths by pushing a pandemic that never existed. Now he knows and cant bring himself to accept things as they are. Now we know his true character.
he just cant say it.
Different people get smarter about different things at different times.
Im pretty sure he already knows now
Watch a few more of his recent videos.
He has had at least one YouTube strike against his channel by the COVID police. He frequently refers to the YT guidelines during his presentations now. He uses a tongue in cheek approach to protect his ability to communicate information that YT most likely would ban. Personally, I derive a certain bit of satisfaction from his passive aggressive approach toward the YT censors.
Not too long ago, he spoke about ivermectin again. He pointed out ivermectin’s safety profile and its long use in tropical medicine, including for river blindness. He said that when he travels to tropical Africa, he carries with him medicine to prevent river blindness. While he was speaking, he showed the ivermectin box and called attention to the box and made a point of showing the inner blister pack card with empty spots to let people know that he is an ivermectin user.
I agree. With that said, what is your position on Operation Warp Speed?
I was skeptical from the beginning. That skepticism increased dramatically when I listened to Dr Tenpenny outline succinctly and in detail…and convincingly…why no one should stick their arms out for what we now know was a bioweapon.
I appreciate that President Trump was doing his utmost to produce a vaxxxxx. But I think he was manipulated, fed false information by evil actors. His worst mistake, in my opinion, was hiring Fauci. To say he was a “bad hire” is a massive understatement as we now know. But hindsight is 20/20 on that one.
What I do know is that Dr Tenpenny was right on all counts. Every single one.
“Hire”,…HIRE?
Fauxi has been the head of NIH for 40 YEARS, passing out BILLIONS in grant money every year, and had worked himself into a position not unlike J . Edgar, where he couldn’t be fired.
And he KNEW if PDJT fited Fauxi, Birx etc. they would have used that to impeach.
I think Mueller/Weismann were goading PDJT, to try to get him to fire them, and Fauxi may have been doing the same.
I agree Birx and Fauxi were decieving PDJT, Pence was obviously in on it.
Its like taking over a company thru a hostile takeover, as musk has done, but you CAN’T fire ANYONE, and any new hires have to be cleared by the Board (McConnell) who will only approve spies and traitors.
He had damn few he could trust, most were actively working against him, and its one of many miracles surrounding DJT, that he made it thru his first term.
I really don’t know, can’t IMAGINE how ANYONE could have gortten thru that.
Should have put it in inverted commas…I’d have hoped you would know what I meant.
Installed, seconded, recruited, assigned, placed into position, appointed…take your pick.
And yes…it was the “trusted” Pence who no doubt steered him in Fauci’s direction. As I said…hindsight is 20/20.
…and for the record “good Christian” Pence had me fooled as well…
He was too squeaky clean and polished. Usually the sign of a deviant in high places. The devil wears Pravda.
Prada. 🙂
I liked Pravda better. Fits him to a tee
*Good Christian* Pence had a Lot of People fooled , You weren’t alone Betsy 💐
He needs to disavow this as a serious mistake and come clean what went on behind the scenes.
Authoritative “facts” are often very slippery.
Yes…it is what I call a weasel word.
Federal Elections End at Midnight ON Election Day
By Devvy Kidd|November 2nd, 2022
https://newswithviews.com/federal-elections-end-at-midnight-on-election-day/
Absolutely
First, there are plausible explanations for this getting flagged. A piece of code (algorithm, bot, whathaveyou) running that the cleanup team hasn’t gotten to yet. Plausible. Did that happen? Maybe. Maybe not.
Second, do you swear an oath of fealty to Herr Schwab when you go to Davos? Do they have blood rituals? That someone attends a networking and marketing conference, because the bottom line of Davos is just that, does not mar them for life. There are plenty of things to ding Musk on but these arrows are dull.
This is a site where “the perfect” fight “the good” constantly in the comments, Charlie.
The purity tests never cease here. No one is ever perfect enough.
Quoting Vox Day, after Musk posted a picture of himself in his “Devil’s Defender” Halloween costume (complete with Baphomet chestplate, pentagram, and inverted crucifix):
“Now, for the love of all that is Good, Beautiful, and True, can we PLEASE stop waxing enthusiastic for every wicked creature who happens to show signs that his commitment to evil might be slightly less than 100 percent? How many times do we have to go through the same old stupid routine?”
“This isn’t that hard. Evil is not good. And because evil has rival factions, not everything that opposes one evil faction is good.”
Smart of Musk to ‘deactivate their access to the Twitter system’ as they receive the email (i.e., last working day). Good enough for Musk to offer the severance package, on condition of these people still observing the employee code of conduct.
Musk will still get lots and lots of grief and gripes, but legally he is not in the wrong.
They can shut up take their money and walk. If they want to be pariahs they’ll lose their going away package. Most of them will probably shut up and take the money. They run their mouths but they have no real principles. They have no lives.
True BobBox.
We all know what is coming from these adult toddlers.
They will sob their hearts out online and scream and post virtual tantrums from their Mom’s basements.
They will fit throw on every single virtue signaling postable post available online there is available and try to “organize” some kind of civil rights group for themselves that does not exist.
In other words they will waste time, gobs of it.
They will waste their time, their mommies time, the lapdog msm media’s time and any one else who will fawn and fuss over these loser nobodies who want to scream NO FAIR over nothing.
Then we will all move on and they, the nobodies, will be forgotten.
Like you say, they have no lives and they contribute very little to the world in the long run.
Could the fired Twitter employees apply for a job at Truth Social? I doubt Devin Nunes would want any of them but . . .
Does bring up an interesting point.
With something like “6 years as a censor at twitter before musk took over” on their resume, WHO will hire them?
The msm are all bleeding $ and cutting staff,…assuming they might have jobs in their “online” depts.
Google? Ebay? Paypal?
How many are former fibbies?
CIA, FBI… Unless they were already employees of both ?
It will be oh so sweet knowing that the crap-canned ex-twit employees WILL pay the fee to get on twit to bitch about their former employer.
The entitlement is out of this universe

I don’t think Musk has a clue just how corrupted Twitter is . Why in God’s name would he provide 50% more severance pay to these hardcore anti free speech , anti USA compulsive lying racists than required.
Public image management.
.
Yes. Also avoids having to deal individually with owed vacation pay, and other misc. calculations.
.
He probably knows many of those fired today will still go online over the weekend and vent about the company and him-
going against company policy in their rage. Then he doesnt have. To give out those severance packages.
in the end these ex- twitards won’t be able to control their mouths (keyboards) and will break code of conduct and lose that severance package. I believe Elon knows this but is legally covered at the end of the day.
What’s in the code of conduct? A rule that says that the employee can’t publicly criticize the company?
Yes, exactly that. May/probably signed confidentiality agreements, when hired prohibiting them from disclosing well,…pretty much ANYTHING about the company, and that would include after leaving.
These babies better wise up, and shut up or they will be spanked.
Sundance sees what most here on the Treehouse refuse to see…
Elon Musk is as close as anyone can be to John Gault.
Initial Hire Contract and California Labor laws regards specifically “mass layoffs”.
Hilarious you all don’t think Musk has a superb legal team. Musk has all the clues. 90 days severance pay addresses the 60 day legal severance requirement related to mass layoffs.
Their celebrating when people lost their jobs for refusing the shot set the stage.
No tears for them.
No tears from me for sure. These are the same type of Commie trash that told coal miners to “learn to code” when their 🐮💩 climate change scam put thousands out of work. Learn to flip soy burgers and fried crickets ,WEF Commie trash.
See great post above
#learntominecoal
Im still cracking up at that one!
Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day.
Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required.
Since when is any severance legally required? Is this a CA thing?
The convention used to be 2 weeks severance, but I worked at a smal company that gave out NOTHING. Only unused vacation days and your last paycheck.
Read up on the WARN Act.
It’s a federal thing when you have over a certain number of employees..you have to give them 60 days of heads up we’re gonna let you go, or you can give them 60 days of pay and healthcare…Elon offered them 90 days-the key is not breaking company policy during the period-if they do they can be fired for cause and get nothing
Correct. It is called the WARN Act. Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act. https://www.schneiderwallace.com/practice-areas/employment/warn-act-mass-layoff-closure/
Twitter employees file class action lawsuit amid layoffs – JURIST – News
We have too many lawyers in this country.
And, any employee who piles on this lawsuit will likely lose their layoff package.
“The more I think about it, old Billy was right,
Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill ’em tonight.”
Lots of rope there.
Have MAGA oversight citizens and lawyers vet their Twitter administrative actions.
I would bet bad old habits will get a lot dismissed in under 60 days.
Was wondering if it was 60 days ago when Elon Musk first put out the word, in a tweet I think, that he was planning on cutting the workforce by 50%? If that was the time frame their lawsuits will carry no weight since it would have met the 60-day notice timeline that law requires.
Employment contracts. It’s an everywhere thing. Twitter’s not a small company.
When a company lays off over a given percentage at a site, 20%?, they have to give two months warning…
Most companies will also give a fat severance check at the end of those two months when separation becomes effective.
It’s rather common in the Technical world. I once got two months warning and a six month severance pay off!
Considering them as employees for 90 days, just non-working employees, seems to me to be the way around the class-action lawsuit filed stating that Twitter is violating the 60 day notice of layoff. Their separation day is 90 days from now, so that gets around that requirement.
As if Musk didn’t have his team of Attorneys game-play this out in accordance with the law?
Welcome to the real world where people actually work and sometimes let go.
I believe CA is an “at-will” employment State … cry me a river when you get let go
I won a suit in California. You’re right too, because EVERY state is “at will”, unless you have a contract negotiated by a union or by yourself.
Everyone who lives in the real world has known for years Twitter was NOT a real business – my goodness, what were people thinking. I still think Musk has his hands full trying to turn Twitter into a real business and I doubt he breaks even on the buyout. I doubt Twitter can support a payroll of 1,000 people. Moving Twitter to Fargo ND may help. I was locked out of Twitter several years ago for simply demanding capital punishment for a murderer. And now that Sundance has made it clear the Fourth Branch uses Twitter for intelligence/ spying on Americans? Sorry Elon, never going back.
Yup. The bloat was supported by cash flow from a global corporatist network that dependent on them for the silencing of political opposition. No silencing. No cash.
But the other shoe has not yet dropped. Musk’s companies have been fueled by the same multinational/governmental cabal.
Maybe Musk wants the loss write-off? He had to know the globalist corporations that propped-up Twitter would stop buying ads when he took the reins and started to disinfect the office. Musk is an odd duck, but he’s no business idiot.
He has been publicly kevetching about the tax checks he write … in the $B’s
You can only lose money and deduct it 5 of 7 years…..after that you have to eat it
Wow, still getting paid and health care until February 2,3023. Being paid to find another job. Must be nice.
I like how firing the Twitster Election Interference Team is supposedly Election Interference. 🙃
It definitely interferes with the cultural marxist’s “our democracy”. Nobody gets any input to an election except them.
Probably stops a lot of interference, provably
One word of advice to the ex-Twitterites: Learn to Code.
Please stop the learn to code stuff. I got my career start as a cobol programmer. Code is the last place I want these people. I had to get my code working in 256 K of memory in my pc programming days. These people have know clue on how to code. Number 1. they lack the logic needed to make a program work. Secound, AI can probably program better than these losers.
You DO know the history of “learn to code”,..right?
Initially it was said about energy workers, put out of work by ‘climate change’ shut downs of keystone, mines, etc.
And that was fine with the twitterati.
But when turned on them, people who used the phrase got banned.
So, don’t be so sensitive.
Its throwing it back in the faces of those who threw it out dismissively, first.
Has nothing to do with the literal way you are taking it.
I look forward to Twitter going belly-up.
I foresee it becoming bigger than Amazon, complete with banking.
In five years, most employers will require employees to have an account — just because that’s how they do payroll.
Hate to say it, but that’s my prediction.
The Everything App. National Bank of Elon and World’s Largest Store. Move over, Sears & Roebuck.
Rather more to the point: move over, Amazon.
I’d bet thousands of dollars that this will never happen. The majority of Twitter employees are woke idiots who have no idea how to make money. Furthermore, in addition to providing a non-essential service, Twitter has a very tattered image. They will be lucky to even be in business in five years.
I agree. Elon will model Twitter after Gab.
I think you are on the right track with this. Elon will have the a Medium of his own, integrated OS one stop shop. He has Tesla phone in development and a partnership between Starlink and Tmobile. Now he will have an online biome to set up transactions, skimming a little off the top and funding his projects.
I have never “belonged” to Twitter, but I have had a chance to read some posts. What impressed me was the deranged cruelty and crudeness of anti-Trump sentiments, the lack of correct information, the gang mentality, the name-calling, and the left-wing bias. Correct information that didn’t fit the left-wing narrative was derided, denounced, and even removed.
It is not a mentally “safe” place and a waste of time and effort. I don’t want put some of that trash in my mind.
.
You nailed exactly how I feel too — and I couldn’t have said it better.
.
You do realize that the instant massive nasty replies to President Trumps tweets was mostly from bots.
It was too quick and too uniform to be from human beings. And if you replied in support, your tweet was demoted far below the bot sewage. That’s hopefully all gone with Elon. Unfortunately President Trump won’t return and I don’t blame him.
I’m actually glad that he won’t return. Twitter was not a good place for him as the President. And not a good place since it is aligned so closely with the left wing ideologues in the 4th branch.
I have been hanging there since the change of ownership. It is pretty fun watching the left loose control of the Narrative. Before it was unbearable and overwhelming.
Lefties are unhinged lunatics!
Elon Musk has fired the Curation team, the Human Rights team, and the Ethics, Transparency, and Accountability team.
Nothing of value was lost.
That’s a good first step. Hopefully he’ll keep walking the right direction.
Good start. Now let’s dissolve ALL DEI (DIE) offices.
There has to be an “equity team” in there somewhere that needs to go right away.
wow. Read what those teams were about.
No Brainer to give ’em the boot.
“Friday’s layoffs, however, appear to be adding fuel to the anxieties of both users and advertisers that Twitter is gutting its ability to keep tabs on who and what shows up on its platform. And the across-the-board cuts come just as the company’s moderation systems are expected to be tested during the midterms.”
On an app ostensibly created to promote conversation, the chief worry of the Marxist cohorts is that too many people will avail themselves of the opportunity. The most frightening thing to the man devoid of ideas is to be challenged – because what answer could he ever have? His fragile narcissism would rather that everyone be muzzled, including himself, than that others be able to speak freely when he himself is unequipped to give a reply.
if Musk folds to the lefty pressure on moderation, they will still try to destroy him or his Twitter acquisition in every way possible. They never rest.
I think he’s beginning to realize there is no safe middle ground anymore. All that remains of the political middle is a vast barren landscape laden with lefty caused bomb craters and ruined lives.
Appeasing the Rabid Left
ROTH MUST GO . He’s as hateful and intolerant as they come.
Elon won’t significantly change the moderation until after the midterms. That was reported by Dave on X22 today.
Of course you are correct GB but he is still being pressured by “civil rights leaders” and others about after the election.
The ban during the election was only the left’s 1st easy victory over Musk. They want much more and some will never be satisfied. He will have to break free of their grasp if he ever wants to free the Blue Bird.
X22 is CIA and CIA IS X22. Get it? CIA runs X22.
X22 sounds like another QAnon.
Dave frequently refers to specific Q posts anywhere from 2017 to 2020 to show that what is happening now was predicted by a Q post several years prior.
Personally I find that the least informative info in his reports since I never decided whether Q (which autists determined was a team, not a singular person) was a genuine white hat source or a black hat disinformation psyop. There were substantive arguments either way.
The Q crap aside, Dave conducts some view good interviews periodically that I and others have found helpful.
Really. Please expound upon your thesis and provide evidence if any exists. Circumstantial and other non-conclusive evidence is acceptable.
Thanks in advance.
Please provide proof / URL source or preface your post with “In my opinion…”
As long as Roth is employed Twitter will NEVER EVER improve. He’s the definition of a cancer.
I think Musk is simply keeping everyone at the table to play at being “neutral”. Honestly the advertisers pulling out is a boon. The advert model sucks and is one of the reasons a lot of us old-timers like the internet so much. If we wanted to watch TV we’d watch TV. People are willing to pay for authenticity. If Musk can bring that back to Twitter (if it ever had it), he’ll do well inspite of the attempts of the old guard to sabotage him.
I doubt there is a single Treeper who was fired from Tweeter.
Havent seen one post from an admitted Tweeter employee here.
So, I can say this with no reservations:
Learn to code, b####ez.
There’s probably a policy against bad mouthing twitter, they can’t keep their 90days of pay if they violate company policy. You probably won’t see a lot of talk about it because technically they are still employed and must abide by the rules
Coding isn’t a universally useful skill. IT skills make one more employable than coding. More open jobs.
I learned to take x-rays in part so that I could live anywhere I might want or need to. The unanticipated benefit was that it can’t be done remotely. One has to be there in person to position the patient, place the shields and hit the trigger. The Radiologists, THEY work remotely.
I’m curious to know, how many of those employees that were told to stay home were actually working from home to begin with. WORKING being the key word here……. 🤷♀️
Woking from home.
There, I fixed it !
When BigTech employees are getting fired and crying hysterically, I call that a good day.
If you want a *really* good day, you should go read a few pages of comments at Ars Technica on this saga.
It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world over in that corner of the internet. By “corner” I mean most of the tech sites online. They crazy, for real. Bugnutz.
When the same can be undertaken and said about government employees, it will be an even better day!
I bet Musk sells off most of his stock in the next year or two, before he takes a 20billion loss.
The Tweeter is post peak.
When libtards and woke freaks are ditching you, it’s downhill
There is no stock, it’s fully privately owned by one wild and crazy guy.
Musk doesn’t own all the twitter stock. Dorsey converted his $ 1 billion. Saudis own around 2.5 billion. Other investors and hedge funds also own some. Am sure there is more detail somewhere. I only posted what I know as fact. Pray and help.others
Marquis is wrong, and you’re right. Twitter is co-owned by a variety of hedge funds. Musk is only the largest shareholder, by about 1%.
https://www.cnbctv18.com/business/companies/elon-musk-twitter-share-price-shareholding-pattern-major-shareholders-15036191.htm
NOPE. Jack kept his, and saved Musk a billion.
At least they don’t have to train their foreign replacement to get their severance package.
All they gotta do is keep their mouths shut in accordance with their employment/severance agreement.
Wanna bet they can’t control themselves for 90 days and blow it?
Not taking that bet, Seriously, doubt that the bookies in Las Vegas would either.
Someone posted last week? they thought Musk was going to outsource to India. He actually fired the majority of Twitter India employees!
Many are foreigners, i.e. H1-b visa holders, I suspect. Many American engineers were displaced years ago, again, I suspect.
I am not interested enough in Twatter to research it and prove my contention. It is based on what has been happening in Silicon Valley and “tech” in general for 30 years+.
H1-b is modern high tech indentured servitude.
I was working the SF/Silicon Valley area in employee benefits when this all began with the H1B visas. I remember talking to computer engineers who were at the time, 1990s, making $100,000 a year. But through the H1B visa program the Company could import an Indian guy and pay him $60,000. Then the Indian guy gets his wife a job and pretty soon the whole family is here and they can live together in family groups on much less than Americans who have very little family to support them where they are.
Besides the Americans losing jobs unfairly in this way, the government sponsored a huge immigrant community who had and have no loyalty to America but no knowledge or investment in our history. I wonder how many of them ever became American citizens. How many of them are eligible to vote? But yet they are influencing for censorship or elections and our way of life.
H1-b slaves have a short time after being “let go” before they have tonleave the country, I believe?
No wonder their bitchin.
You’re fired and you have to go home!
Who is making any one here illegally go home?
I’m pretty sure quite a few of those fired are on H-1B visas.
My quick read – 3 typos. On purpose?
Feds and state are bloated, too. When is that going to happen?
Soon, but not soon enough.
Too good not to share again, but be careful, those Virtue Glares are brutal.
Hilarious, for a company that prided itself on diversity, it looks like they pushed all the token minorities to the top of the stairs out of camera range.

Twitter advertiser boycott organized by dark money Soros, Clinton, and foreign networks
A dark money outfit funded by progressive billionaires.
https://dossier.substack.com/p/twitter-advertiser-boycott-organized
“Twitter advertiser boycott organized by dark money Soros, Clinton, and foreign networks.”
Going up against another billionaire that is unpredictable, ruthless, and literally a rocket scientist …
An independent thinker against the collective, will be interesting to see this plays out.
Elon is not a rocket scientist. He simply had enough money made from his sale of Paypal to hire the best in the world.
He hired essentially the entire senior engineer contingent of the propulsion organization from TRW in the very early 2000’s to design the rockets. Some of these engineers worked on the Saturn 5 and the lunar descent engine.
I used to follow Elon on my way to work on Aviation Blvd. He had a car (Lexus?) with a license plate that said “SpaceX” on it. This was 2002, if I remember correctly.
I had no idea what SpaceX was, so I looked it up on the internet, since I was unhappy in my job at the time and it sounded interesting.
After reading the profile of Musk on the website of the company that was probably less than 6 months old at the time, I decide Musk was a meglomaniac totally full of himself and was somebody I would never want to work for. I could go on and on. Musk is not what most people think he is.
To be fair to Musk, I believe that he has matured substantially and has acquired a small amount of humility, but I still would not want to work for him.
He discriminates against “old people”, which in the early 2000’s was anyone over the age of 30, but might be increasing in age, now that he is aging & so is his crew of formerly 20-somethings. This is kind of disgusting, given that his success with SpaceX is largely due to the TRW engineers he hired who probably had an average age of over 60 in the early 2000’s.
I wish Elon the best and pray that he sees the error of his ways.
His current bio has him as the lead engineer and designer at SpaceX, is this incorrect ?
Musk has a degree in Physics from Penn… Also, he apparently was smart enough to be accepted to the physics Phd program at Stanford University, so the guy has bona fides.
He’s a ‘Notanengineer.’ He’s a physicist.

Dear Elon Musk
You have nearly 114,000,000 Twitter followers.
Name and shame the advertisers who are succumbing to the advertiser boycotts.
So we can counter-boycott them.
And get your $8 monthly subscription going asap.
So we can start to makeup for lost revenue now.

They’ll all need to learn how to mine coal.
Retail sales would offer a lot more opportunity. Coal mining is like making buggy whips once we’re all in the automobile age.
FJB told coal miners they needed to learn how to code. Humor much?
I guess the people calling for the ad boycott are upset that only half the staff was let go. They’re helping to get rid of the rest.
Trump winning the presidency was the biggest (possibly temporary) roadblock to the NWO reset. Losing control of Twitter may be the second.
It’s all about control. Controlling the levers of power in all it’s forms. And controlling the narrative. Trump interrupted the former. Musk the latter to a big enough degree.
If it wasn’t such a leftist tool they wouldn’t be having these vengeful reactions.
“Blue Check Twitter is Big Mad.”

So we can counter-boycott them.
And get your $8 monthly subscription going asap.
So we can start to makeup for lost revenue now.”

To paraphrase an old joke:
“What do you call 3,500 Twitter employees in the unemployment line?
A good start.”
We need to give some leeway to Elon here.
I was outside right after it got dark. I heard some weird noises echoing through the mountains. It remained a mystery until I read this article.
Now I am quite sure it was all those Twitter geeks screaming at the sky in unison.
I Heard a lot of rumblings about companies pulling their ads from Twitter…
I think Musk should freak them all out and stop advertisements for as long as he see’s fit to teach these people playing games or thinking about it…a real lesson… they need twitter a lot more then they think
Facebook and Instagram are DEAD for the 18-34 year olds. Facebook imploding.
Got to wonder if there is some kind of ‘connective tissue’ between Twitter, Facebook and Instagram? 🤔
Twitter isn’t all bad.
From AOSHQ open thread just now.
OMG That’s GREAT!!!!
Man, wish this had been made a month ago.
Best Election Ad…ever!
LOL @ one of Sundance’s category tags: Professional Idiots.
Maybe now the terminated twats will finally Learn To Code!
I’d like to see someone like the new engineers to find which communist twatter employees bot accounts were throwing out all the increased racial garbage
“…including members of the teams that work on U.S. elections and content moderation on the high-profile social-media platform.” –Politico
Saying the quiet part out loud, eh Politico. This tells me all I need to know. Government angry no more control over content.

Civil rights activists?! Why? Because those without a contract are “at will employees” and can be let go at any time for any cause? Employees have the right to leave at any time, any cause, too. I don’t hear the civil rights activists standing up for them.
Such whiners. Maybe all the civil rights activists should find something productive to do with their excess time. #professionalwhiners
My college kid told me that no one is on Facebook or Instagram anymore. All his gamer friends use Twitter. These corrupt multinationals have nowhere else to go (outside of Twitch) to sell their suspect wares if they want to reach the 18-34 age group. Hold the line Elon.
Listened to “Salty” tonight. A tweet or “DM” is never really erased. If the gov’t and other nefarious entities used Twitter, all those billions of tweets are out there for Elon to see. The Peter Stroeks are acared.
Well, this is kinda funny:
In my opinion they will not be missed. It could be that they are part of the reason Twitter is losing around 4 million $$$$ a day. I hope by streamlining Elon can get rid of 75% of the dead weight. It’s not unusual for a new owner of a company that’s losing money to clean house.
un-learn to code
I don’t use Tweeter, but I have an account I set up years ago, and never deleted it.
I used to get “your updates” all the time.
Football, gardening, etc.
never clicked on them because it wouldn’t work.
Just too much clicking/forms/Id to make it worth it.
Now, since last week, I’m getting Tweeter updates with nudie pics, and “moms”
in the same formats. Lots of boobs and “hit me up” tweeter updates.
So, since musk took over, my unwanted tweeter feed is full of soft porn and solicitations.
Anybody else notice this?
the folks who were unhappy with their new boss created bots and then immediately used the “n” word in many tweets, so they could turn around and say- see? Elon wants free speech and now the “n” word has increased in usage by 500%…Don’t forget, the 3 letter agencies could be doing it in protest too. They will give their all to take him down or get him under control.
No, but I’ll look into it.
Don’t have Twitter so nothing there but I have noticed a massive uptick in the last week or two in spam at the 25 yo e-mail address I use for ‘public’ things, like this site and other forums. Also, like you noted, the spam includes porn of the likes I don’t recall ever seeing. Bizarre.
