𝕏 / Twitter / X, the Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter / "MUSK OWNS TWITTER"

On topic, it is hilarious to me that Twitter could get rid of 2/3rds its headcount and operate without any issues whatsoever. Were people working like 12 hours a week before?
I’d be willing to bet that the employee loss wasn’t even close to being even across the board. It wouldn’t surprise me if departments like marketing got utterly gutted while the teams that actually kept stuff up and running just shed a bit of dead weight.

You would be surprised how much diversity bloat can get crammed into the 'productive' teams, especially when middle leadership is infected. You'll have two bipoc code reviewers for every actual coder, who's jobs consist entirely of finding any excuse in the code imaginable to fire the actual coder and put another bipoc in their place. The general premise of putting diversity hires into make work positions is all over software, and they bloat things, bottleneck things, and make it a nightmare for anyone to get anything done. Imagine a major product update being delayed for two months because one of the code reviewers got a stick up her ass over the use of the word "Whitelist" in the raw code. Not even the customer facing aspect, the raw uncompiled code.

Teams of 30 could be cut to teams of 8 and end up with net productivity gains, the leeches are that bad.
 
Thank you Elon Musk for providing us with some of the best content you brilliant madman, This one's quite the character alright.

Never been a big fan of Musk but the fact that he's actually cleaning cheese pizza off Twitter is honestly based af. Previously I always kind of assumed that CP existing on the platform was just a matter of some falling through the cracks in moderation due to the sheer volume of posts (+ laziness/incompetence), had no idea how widespread the problem was. Makes one wonder if it's just a coincidence that the previous head of Trust & Safety had some interesting ideas about minors and sexual content online...
 
What I don't get is you have the ADL getting angry about Trumps unbanning, and at the same time you have Trump the guy who absolutely loves Israel, you'd think they'd be happy he was back on twitter. Jordan Peterson had an Israeli Jew on his podcast a while ago and he couldn't say enough about how Trump was amazing, and is trying to do so much for Israel. I can't make out whos jewing who anymore....

Because left wing US jews are not the same people as right wing Israeli Jews. A lot of the left wing ones in the US don't even practice their religion and just use their heritage as bragging rights like some white person who is 5 percent Cherokee.
 
Friendly reminder that when you're screengrabbing idiot insanity from twatter, include the "likes, replies, whatever" line.

Half the time it's more amusing because it's like "1, 3, 5" and the other half it's more amusing because it's like "2323602436246, 575643590784354563, 23058945798645907".

Don’t forget how they use it as a cudgel to proclaim victim status while being on a statistical average one of the more wealthy demographics in the country.

Come to think of it, Pajeets are similar in a lot of the same ways, and Elon has all but started a war with their SV cohorts.

Imagine being so neurotic and terminally online that you feel the need to download a third-party app to catch people who don't subscribe to all the nonsense you spew on social media. Also it's hilarious to imagine this bitch holding a small rectangular device, fuming and acting stressed out over the most inconsequential happenings online :story:
