I have mixed feelings on this. The execs are just big tech richie rich types so it's the machine eating itself. Seems good all around that both musk and these corporate mucks go down togetherEh, this feels like a category error of some kind.

The member of the class isn't the class and vice versa, but we're supposed to believe the not so random discipline of the asshole boss is just and equitable because the employees happen to be relatively well-off too?

For me this argument fails logically.

"...The nine-word tweet was sent Thursday afternoon from an account using the name and logo of the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Co., and it immediately attracted a giant response: “We are excited to announce insulin is free now.”..…

By Friday morning, Eli Lilly executives had ordered a halt to all Twitter ad campaigns — a potentially serious blow, given that the $330 billion company controls the kind of massive advertising budget that Musk says the company needs to avoid bankruptcy. They also paused their Twitter publishing plan for all corporate accounts around the world.

Supposedly, it’ll be simple:

or outside it using a debit card or checks.

Lmao droves of members quittingTwitter, fake troll accounts left and right mocking him, firing, re-hiring, firing again, and then publicly demanding employees to kiss the ring, charging $ for a blue check mark that hackers can still hack, responding to and squabbling with random people on his platform, trying to be funny, but turning around and crying in his pillow, Amber Heard thinks he's evil...

But sure everything better now because Elon's less shitty than the previous couple years when companies stopped buying Twitter ads during the pandemic.

Try it out with Venmo first -- if it works with a good fraction of the ~70 million users here in the states, scale it up for the 300 million accounts using Paypal worldwide. That would begin to rival Twitter's membership.

"....Before Elon Musk took over Twitter, it was hardly a gangbusters business. The company is only occasionally profitable. Its userbase and advertising revenue is puny compared to social media rivals like Facebook and TikTok.

Yet the possibility of a looming Twitter bankruptcy was not a fate anyone ever seriously discussed.

Now, however, under the chaotic leadership of Musk, the mercurial billionaire has reportedly told staff that bankruptcy could be nigh if Twitter does not start making more money.

How could this be the case, and what exactly has changed?

In taking the company private in his $44 billion purchase of Twitter, Musk cashed in some of his Tesla stock and also saddled the social platform with $13 billion in debt, which is a massive obligation for a company the size of Twitter.

For context, the debt equals about seven times the company's projected earnings for 2022.

It's essentially a huge credit card, and the annual payment is $1 billion.

And that's a problem for Twitter, considering that its cash flow last year to pay for things like debt payments was just $632 million.....

tbh, only Facebook and Amazon are "big tech" in that list, and that probably looks very different depending on the company.

What's been mostly happening is some belt-tightening after the pandemic more or less ended. On ours it has been mostly to avoid unnecessary expenses, like, say, "if your team is mostly local, don't have a monthly meeting in London", that kind of stuff.

Tbh I wonder what a poll sent out to all users about Trump being reinstated would show. Obviously since Musk followers are mainly conservatives now it shows him being welcomed back on (if some high follower lib did the poll would be the same in the opposite direction probably).

That platform only lasts as long as the left is on it and as long as bots are allowed to flourish. Without either or both that platform ceases to exist or becomes less and less relevant. We've seen how all "conservative" platforms get hyped up at first only to be memory holed sooner than later.

Who knows, maybe Musk is on to something and there won't necessarily be some mass exodus of the left on twitter. If so it's over!

real time import for public safety and journalism can't be discounted. be a shame to lose it to the ages, but I don't recall lamenting any of the predecessors; social media platforms come and go.

“I don’t see any reason for it, they have a lot of problems at Twitter, you see what’s going on. It may make it, it may not make it,” Trump said during a virtual appearance before the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership meeting.

Some employees on Twitter's sales team have been given notice that they are being laid off since Sunday evening, despite having committed to Musk's ultimatum to work harder and longer under his leadership, Bloomberg reported.

Account managers and client partners on the sales team were part of the layoffs on Sunday evening, Platformer reported.

And he don’t care he’s covered in jizz because he’s punch drunk with his twitter power and control. There no fucking plan. Firing, rehiring, firing staff again and again, all while asking them to kiss the ring. Then realizing he needs his software engineers to write code and actually run twitter, so he flinches. He’s the drunk medieval king who says “kill them all” and then changes his mind five minutes later after they’re all beheaded.

What the hell is the plan, Elon? Scare off advertisers, charge users, un-suspend crazy people but somehow keep them in check, tweet mocking emojis anytime you feel insecure to make sure everyone knows that you’re still winning? Then file for bankruptcy and emoji laugh because flushing $44 billion down the toilet doesn’t change that you’re still one of the richest people on the planet?

What I said is valid. Redirecting people to Twitter where they can follow and retweet things you shared adds patronage to Twitter, just as redirecting someone to any website adds traffic to that site. I'm not sure what your objection is here, and you don't seem to be either.

You interject constantly then act like you were summoned when you have to eat another shit sandwich you made.

Twitter generates the majority of its revenue through selling ad space on its platform to global advertisers. To attract advertisers it needs a large and growing user base. Twitter measures its user base using a metric it calls monetizable daily active users (mDAU), which is broadly defined as the total number of user accounts that were logged in and accessed Twitter on any given day. Twitter's average mDAU in the fourth quarter of FY 2021 rose approximately 13% YOY to 217 million

Varoufakis sees Musk's takeover as a bid to create an everything app and become a techno-feudal overlord.


Since capitalism’s dawn, power stemmed from owning capital goods; steam engines, Bessemer furnaces, industrial robots, and so on. Today, it is cloud-based capital, or cloud capital in short, that grants its owners hitherto unimaginable powers.


Unlike old-fashioned terrestrial or analogue capital, which boils down to produced means of manufacturing things consumers want, cloud capital functions as a produced means of modifying our behavior in line with its owners’ interests. The same algorithm running on the same labyrinth of server farms, optic fiber cables, and cell-phone towers performs multiple simultaneous miracles.

Cloud capital’s first miracle is to get us to work for free to replenish and enhance its stock and productivity with every text, review, photo, or video that we create and upload using its interfaces. In this manner, cloud capital has turned hundreds of millions of us into cloud-serfs – unpaid producers, toiling the landlords’ digital estates and believing, like peasants believed under feudalism, that our labor (creating and sharing our photos and opinions) is part of our character.1

The second miracle is cloud capital’s capacity to sell to us the object of the desires it has helped instill in us. Amazon, Alibaba, and their many e-commerce imitators in every country may look to the untrained eye like monopolized markets, but they are nothing like a market – not even a hyper-capitalist digital market. Even in markets that are cornered by a single firm or person, people can interact reasonably freely. In contrast, once you enter a platform like Amazon, the algorithm isolates you from every other buyer and feeds you exclusively the information its owners want you to have.



An “everything app” is, in my definition, nothing less than a gateway into cloud capital that allows its owner to modify consumer behavior, to extract free labor from users turned into cloud serfs, and, last but not least, to charge vendors a form of cloud rent to sell their wares. So far, Musk has not owned anything capable of evolving into an “everything app” and had no way of creating one from scratch...

..As a private fief, Twitter could never be the world’s public square. That was never the point. The pertinent question is whether it will grant its new owner secure membership in the new techno-feudal ruling class.

I have a crooked pinky from an old football injury and a fucked up ring finger from hitting a guy with an uppercut in the fucking jaw and breaking my hand.

And to answer the question before Joey asks I was in SA. Right on Houston in a nice hotel near the river. I was there for a week. Spent time at the Irish pub next door and watched the lights go on at the river. I actually would not have minded leaving Joey asleep one on one, but he didn't want to do that. Anyway, my wife enjoyed it a lot and so did I and the spot was very accommodating. My wife and i are coming again next year and any of you that want to meet the first drink is on me wherever we meet.
