OG Elon Musk/Twitter Thread

"They could get the marks back by paying up to $11 a month. But some longtime users, including 92-year-old Star Trek legend Shatner, have balked at buying the premium service championed by Twitter’s billionaire owner and chief executive Elon Musk."

...well Shatner might need a new gig to afford $11/month.
 
Twitter's classification of BBC: Government publicly funded
Twitter's classification of NPR: Government funded
 
"If he did sell, he said it would be more important to find a buyer who cherishes the 'truth' rather than how much they'd pay because, as he says: 'I don't care about the money.'"

Does anyone actually go on Twitter to find the truth ex cathedra?

My country's national broadcaster has dropped out of Twitter after being labeled government funded.
 
Government funded media labels are lifted. NPR, PBS, and CBC...will you come back to Twitter?
 
Tucker Carlson on Twitter:

"On this platform, unlike the one-way street of broadcast, people are able to interact, critique and refute whatever is said.

"I also want to be clear that we have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever. Tucker is subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators."

.... must have pre-paid for a lot of those authenticity checkmarks.
 
Someone sent me a link to Twitter's "show" for Tucker Carlson. How is Twitter going to monetize blasting HD video of Tucker Carlson to anyone who comes across the tweet and hits play?

The Spaces thing DeSantis used I get - it's a separate software like Google Hangout/Meet.
 
South a African Man-Child is going to get whooped. The robot man is supposed to be quite competent at Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Also, underneath his palid lifeless skin is a hyper-alloy combat chassis, powered by microprocessor-controlled myomers, making him far stronger, faster, and more robust than any human adversary.

 
Are they fighting yet? I'm waiting for it to be broadcast over Twitter as a prelude to the next Tucker Carlson episode.
 
Will this drive more people to sign-up/pay-up or further degrade the popularity of the platform?

I’m going to ask anyone linking to the platform on this site to include a screen capture for those of us who don’t want to join the Muskverse.

 
I'm not logged in on my PC. Only my mobile. But it's annoying to search through hundreds of replies for something on your mobile versus the PC.

The new limits on reading number of posts and making posts between Verified and regular users is pretty funny. Who actually reads an entire tweet? Is scrolling past 50 tweets reading?
 
$500M in unpaid severance. This is good. I should just can some employees and promise the moon but never pay it out. I didn't know you could do that. Elon Musk is an HR genius.
 
When does the new female CEO take over? Hopefully there is something still left for her to take over.
 
Well.. at least he didn't use Z given the current geo-political climate.

I don't see the mass exodus to Threads after that initial flurry (not really even sign up - it was activate my Threads account with my Facebook/Instagram/whatever Meta account).

I'm still confused how he's making all these changes and there's an incoming CEO.
 
"I'm getting an MRI of my neck & upper back tomorrow," Musk wrote Sunday night. "May require surgery before the fight can happen. Will know this week."
 
"CEO Linda Yaccarino said their respective roles are 'very clear.' 'Elon works on the technology and dreams up what’s next,' she said. 'I bring it to market.'"

Including the X thing?

I thought he had too many businesses to run and needed to get out of the day to day of Twitter.
 


In Italia. I hope some professional trains them. I really don't want to see two pastey white men roll off their keyboards and fight.
 


"If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I'm going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously."

...the sport of techie billionaires fighting each other?
 
There are more evil men out there who have accomplished less.

That said I am still waiting for the man on man fight with Zuckerberg.
 


Yes. I am sure Homer intended it to be spoken in English whilst your driving Tesla in solitude.
 


Hawaii?... I wonder what he thinks of Puerto Rico or Guam then.
