The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

[Rhinox]

Yeah, I've put my subscription on pause while I give all due consideration to things.
$25 a month could be put to better use if this is where they're going.

Minor bit of Schadenfreude: over the weekend Musk thought it would be a great idea to go up on stage at a comedy gig in SF. (It was a Dave Chappelle gig, I believe?) He got booed off stage. Any videos of this posted to Twitter have been removed, from what I've heard..

Also looks like the news media's established itself on Mastodon too: Google Doc of over 1100 Journalist Mastodon accounts

On a third note, seeing mentions that Twitter is now censoring the word Telegram too, in addition to Mastodon. Wonder how long before Tumblr and TikTok get added...

Lastly, while the account tracking Elon's Jet is still around, it's been heavily shadowbanned so anyone who relies on the algorithmic timeline(instead of latest) isn't ever going to see anything from it.

Musk Made a fool of himself on Dave Chappell’s show.

Fortunately Elon doesn't own YouTube.

EDIT: There's more:

Since we can't embed Mastodon posts here(and the link isn't giving a proper preview):

Twitter’s former head of trust and safety has fled his home due to an escalation in threats resulting from Elon Musk’s campaign of criticism against him

Elon Musk is no longer the richest person in the world

Bernard Arnault is now the richest man in the world, dethroning Tesla CEO Elon Musk after a continued decline in Tesla share price, according to Forbes.

Tesla is unsustainable. Twitter is unsustainable. How long before this clown doesn't have two dimes to rub together?

I didn't realize he was ever even close to being the richest person in the world; I thought that was Bezos?

He surpassed Bezos last year.

Should be a paywall-free link. tl;dr:

* It seems they haven't paid rent for their buildings since the takeover,
* they're considering not paying the two months pay and/or severance packages of terminated employees,
* and they're auctioning office and kitchen supplies from the buildings

And Europe's gonna love this if they go through with it:

Expected. Elon is a hypocrite of the highest order. And now, with pressure mounting and money woes starting to emerge, he's going to act truer to form as he can't waste the time pretending not to be a horrid little troll anymore.

Elon Musk taking legal action over Twitter account that tracks his private jet

Twitter's owner says an account tracking his private jet has put his son's safety at risk.

www.bbc.com

Also apparently he's dumped 22 million shares, or another 3.6 billion at current evaluation, presumably to keep Twitter solvent.

 

[DefaultOption]

Either that or he knows something is going to come out that will cause Tesla's shares to take another nosedive.

 

[Rhinox]

Elon apparently ordered the suspension of many accounts today, all reporters who have been critical of his actions.
At this point it should be apparent to all that the "free speech absolutist" is a facade for an insecure bully who can't take what he dishes out.

He also posted a license plate and has asked twitter to 'track' that person down. I sincerely hope that results in a lawsuit that breaks his hold over the zeitgeist.

 

[Dekafox]

He's also suspended the account for Mastodon. He really hasn't ever heard of the Streisand Effect, has he?

 

[Ungnome]

Musk is determined to go from being Tony Stark to Flintheart Glomgold in the public's eye. If he weren't ruining the lives of so many people in the process, it'd be absolutely hilarious.
