I will never get over this.

Does the victory lap feel good at least?

Nope!

Hey dude. Listening to you on on spaces You keep getting Musk’s story wrong. One of the main reasons he started buying twitter shares was after Jack Sweeney refused to take down Elon’s jet. Jack was one of the first accounts he suspended. Can you please get the story straight bro?

"Free speech absolutist wastes $44B to ban a guy for posting publicly available information on a website" is not the dunk you seem to think.

It is actually if you were paying attention. Sweeney turned down his offer for a Tesla and musk started buying shares . Your post is not the dunk you seem to think.

I'm not sure what you think Musk's offer to bribe Sweeney to stop sharing PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION has to do with anything. If Musk's only reason for buying Twitter was to ban Sweeney, it was a singular waste of $44B. He could've just ate his food.

He has to say that

Your first instinct that Elmo didn't pay his bills might have been accurate. They're also DDOS-ing themselves. Two screenshots

Journalist punished for making accurate observation

You should get to be head of NBC news now

You could craft the entire curriculum for like two or three business school classes over all of the colossally dumb shit that he's done with Twitter.

Presumably, somewhere, that is happening.

I want to laugh about all this, but Twitter was a genuinely useful tool. It's too bad Elon isn't.

I truly cannot believe your editor pulled you for this

“'I come too early', he then said; 'my time is not yet. This tremendous event is still on its way, wandering; it has not yet reached the ears of men.’” — Thus Spoke Zarathustra

It's a dumber version of Brewster's Millions

Everyone right too soon always takes an ass-kicking. I imagine it does make the 'I WARNED YE' slightly sweeter.

Will advertisers of products like film releases sue for damages? There is a limited window, no one can see their ads.

The foundation of good journalism is treating powerful people with respect.

Collins!! You left leaning monster!! *shakes fist at the sky*

He is actually That Guy. There’s no multidimensional chess here

Boy he sure showed you.

I hope this becomes a j-school test prompt about social media. And in like 10 years students will have to look up whatever Twitter was in the first place.

Wow, that's a crazy thing to be pulled for, for saying what literally anyone with one brain cell was thinking at the time.

Journalistic objectivity is defined as giving rich people endless benefit of the doubt.

Nothing like dropping $44 billion on something just to turn it into a shit show 🤣😂

You were just doing your job as a journalist, accurately reporting mismanagement at a major social media company. And they couldn't handle it.

Vindication!!!!!

He 100% bought that platform with the intention to destroy it.

woah woah woah youre giving him WAY too much credit

This is a forced exodus at this point.

I think the 💩 emoji response to email he has received might have been a good indicator of what was coming.

This is so funny

Which implosion is more impressive? Elon Musk's Twitter or the Titan submersible?

“once such tweet”

so when do you get an apology

Does the victory lap feel good at least?

Worth it tbh

Maybe Elon refuse to pay cloud server and used this limit as an excuse.

Apparently he stiffed Google on a huge server bill that was due yesterday AND Twitter servers are DDOSing other Twitter servers, as a result of Elon requiring passwords to view the site.

That would make for sense than 600 limit viewing.
