I'd never heard of this guy, which was better?

Would argue the outpouring on this is, specifically, a VERY strong endorsement of Jay and team. She (rightly, impressively) rejected the Dorsey/Musk path, centered users which Twtr never did, articulated a better way, and is executing - AND the market is responding. How could they not be mad?

Fucking hell

#NeverForget

Claim include allegations how Twitter under leadership of then CEO Jack Dorsey, willfully ignored or had knowledge of the Saudi campaign to ferret out critics but because of financial considerations and efforts to keep close ties to the Saudi gov, a top investor in the company – provided assistance:

Or his mid-genocide Myanmar “meditation retreat.”

Elon Musk is a fascist, so not surprised he supports this.

Solana is a Value Brand Elon Musk. Minus the success, and personality.

Personality?

That’s the joke, yes.

I hate having learned about this man... Everyday it's like learning of a new minor villain in silly con valley

He’s an unabashed fascist. One of the worst of the worst of the VC crowd.

why are there so many! every single day I learn about another techno VC bro in love with fascism

Reading too much Mencius Moldbug and Scott Alexander, possibly

Paper-thin skin, lives in a bubble of his own making, etc.

At this point being on Twitter is like having a Swastika tattoo on your head.

What the hell

I would not expect any less from a guy who can just call Jack Dorsey. The opening question gave it all away. What a bunch of nutjobs.

It honestly seems like development for Twitter just died after they pushed out all the updates they'd been working on before Musk took over. Wasnt Twitter supposed to turn into a dating app? Werent you supposed to be able to send money? The video features are all half baked.

I don't know if it's still going, but since the Blue Check gave you the ability to upload movies of unlimited length, people were posting the entire Ast and Furious series, all of LotR, that kind of thing, which has hammering Twitter's storage and bandwidth far in excess of $8 a month.

they fired like the entire company so i imagine they are working like crazy just to keep the lights on

"If you make your product absolutely toxic you won't need to pay salespeople anymore."

it seems like product development has accelerated. by that i mean now the CEO says soon the app will suck my dick

It is amazing how far Elon Musk has come on the simple strategy of "did you know you can just say shit"

more than anything else i think this is a damning indictment of absolutely dogshit brained idiot investors pumping money into Jack's career. like this seems radical but this is also something he's probably told money men dozens of times behind closed doors

Product development has accelerated. Next up: Banking.

folks is it bad when people want to use your service >It was the anti-Twitter. People were literally running from Twitter to Bluesky, and that is not a way to build something successful.

Journalism is when you give a person every sympathetic public narrative about them that's already been made and ask them, "which one of these do you like the most?" Instead of letting them say anything in their own words.

Look at the outlet, it's 4 bros dropping 'whitepills' to reel in the conservanerd demographic

i don't think "many Americans" know who jack is

That is bonkers lol

Do you have a subscription? How are you able to read the article?

Can’t be said enough: billionaires are imbecile psychopaths.

What does it say about us as a society that we allow so many psychopaths to become billionaires (and presidents)?

Truthfully, it says that honest people don't step on others to get ahead, but dishonest people do. I don't know what the answer is to this. The kind of person who will game the system now will game any other system we create, you know?

In a democracy, we have the opportunity to not choose a psychopath to lead us. We never take that opportunity, for a number of reasons that defy logic, and also, because 40% of the population mindlessly defer to authority.

Yeah ultimately critical thinking is very, very low, which is pretty frightening.

But, we use our critical thinking skills to protect our biological impulses, which are ultimately self destructive. Microbes in a Petri dish grow until they run out of nutrients, or foul their medium. We have the knowledge to save ourselves, but we use “reason” to continue behaving as microbes would

sadly we don't live under democracies
