Lets run a sweepstake - How Long Until Twitter Goes 404 – Page Not Found

:D

I am loving this. A billionaire spent a fortune on a company he does not want and is now setting fire to it. Brilliant.

We all knew it would perhaps go somewhat awry, but holy fucking shit Elon. :lol:

Its really bad that people are losing their jobs over this and I really hope they have that Edwin over a barrel with massive payouts...but it's also amazing to watch the whole thing just implode because of said cunts utter, utter incompetence. Zuckerberg is also pissing vast amounts of money away on a vanity project that no one wants. Watching clueless rich cunts squirm is glorious !

I just wish all this drama didn't come at the expense of normal folks working in the collapsing shit-holes. Thousands of people are without a job all of a sudden thanks to these billionaire fucks.

Any effective communication network where truth can be shared is kryptonite to these supervillains. I am not convinced this wasn't the sole intent anyway, every action backs up the theory that the malignancy miasma soul group wanted Twitter buried.

Elon being seen for the fraud he has always been: priceless. I am on Twitter till it sinks but will be happy to decamp to Mastodon whilst watching.

That's the problem, really. I want to enjoy watching Musk piss away $44billion of his personal sense of worth, but I can't because 7500 people work(ed) for the company and all of the people that use the service professionally are losing an important part of their business. I haven't really used Twitter in about a decade, but it was the best way of communicating with a business that I was having an issue with, and which had a problem fixed within minutes instead of waiting hours or days for an e-mail.

There are some estimates that there are as few as 200 employees remaining because almost everyone is refusing to, would you believe it, accept horrendous new working conditions when the alternative is three months severance pay.

I honestly hope it crashes and burns. An ego maniac, giant man child, fifth rate Bond villain should not wield absolute control over one of the largest social media platforms in the world.

7500 jobs is nothing. Those people will all get new jobs fairly easily in that sector with their experiences and hopefully won't have to work for an enormous fucktard like Musk as a bonus.

A new platform will takes it's place soon enough.

The thing that galls me most about all this is that $44bn has been wasted for no credible reason. Imagine if Musk had assigned that money to someone competent and told them to fix one of the many great problems the world faces. In a decade we could have been without Alzheimer’s or malaria; starvation could have been largely solved; flood defences in areas at high risk from global warming could have been bolstered; the 500 best free schools in the world could have been built.

Instead he’s spaffed all the money up the wall and displaced thousands of lives to no avail. Someone should throw him in a hole and tarmac over him.

I'd say it'll be around for a while but will be completely abandoned by corporate entities and anyone with self-respect.
