    Musk is making his new CEO's job more difficult. He announced limits on the numbers of Tweets people could read: 6000 for the people who pay US$8.00 per month, 600 for unverified users (although that term has lost all meaning) and 300 for new users. Almost immediately he increased the numbers to 10,000, 1,000 and 500.

    Unsurprisingly advertisers are not happy. This latest move from the business genius restricts the amount of advertising people will see. Who'd have guessed?

    Shit Pritch, it is almost like sacking most of the technical staff before learning what they all did has become a liability?

    If only 10% of Instagram users join threads today they will have more users than Twitter.
    They already have 3/4 of the same number 300 million vs 395 million only after a few hours.

    Musk is talking legal action against Threads for stealing Twitter technology. He sacked the staff and thus put them on the market. It's hard to see his claim being successful when Trump's
    'Troth Senshul', Spoutible, and others, use similar technology.

    Somebody asked if Musk's "management" had affected user experience. The answer is absolutely. Twitter used to be a reliable source for what was happening in the world at that moment. Now? Not so much. The people I used to see and who posted content that was informative or amusing are mostly no longer in my feed. I get many Trumper fuckwits and "Christians" all of whom have blue ticks. The blue tick used to mean that the person was who they claimed to be. Now it just means they pay Musk $8.00 a month. As a news source Twitter is now completely unreliable.

    Parody accounts must have the word parody in the title. If the account uses a long title with the word parody on the end. The software shortens the title hiding the word parody.

    Oh, and the 'free speech absolutist' has announced that anybody using the term "CIS gender" will have their account suspended.

    You have to love what an utter hypocrite/creatin he is.
    Elon Musk says ‘patents are for the weak’
    Musk replied that his spacecraft manufacturer ”[doesn’t] really patent things.”

    “I don’t care about patents,” Musk told Leno. “Patents are for the weak.”
    In Musk’s opinion, patents are “generally used as a blocking technique” that are designed to prevent others from innovating.

    “They’re used like landmines in warfare,” he says. “They don’t actually help advance things; they just stop others from following you.”
    It’s not the first time Musk has spoken out against patents. In a 2014 memo to Tesla employees, Musk said that it was his company’s ability “to attract and motivate the world’s most talented engineers,” not its patents.
    Bahahahaha
    Elon Musk’s attorney sent a letter accusing Meta of misappropriating Twitter’s trade secrets to make its Twitter-like app, Threads.
    Twitter has serious concerns that Meta Platforms has engaged in systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property,” reads the letter, which was first reported by the news startup Semafor.
    The cease-and-desist letter also demanded that Meta refrain from collecting data from Twitter without its permission.
    The letter, written by Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, was addressed to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
    Spiro wrote in the letter that Twitter “knows” Meta hired “dozens” of former Twitter employees and used their access to Twitter’s trade secrets and confidential information to develop Threads.
    Andy Stone, Meta’s communications director responded in writing “To be clear: ‘No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing,’”

    This chap does some great clips backed up by real world numbers. In the uk it’s popular to lease a new car privately for couple years then there are firms who specialise in buy back and o sell like turners I guess.
    Anyway so there’s ample data on devaluation and it shows no o e wants these things and it’s across all brands

    So they should for abuse of English language and the backhanded sexist insult that it is. Calling someone CIS is just like a straight person using the word gay or homo. It’s treating a person different based on their gender and sexuality.

    The proper terms to identify people based on their sexuality if needed due to statistical puposes should be MALE, FEMALE, option three use whatever title the test identify as. It should actually be rare to need to mention someone’s sexuality in any kind of discussion. But people are using CIS in a derogatory fashion to try slur anyone’s argument they are losing against.

    As much as many dislike musk and twatter which only 9% of NZ people use it’s a beacon of light in a politically correct world and word on street is Threads is pro trans community. Nothing will show what the silent majority thinks when people vote with their feet or logins…

    It’s bizarre in a world obsessed by science (the trans community hate religion and use science for anti god arguments) that there’s so much furore around using the two easiest scientific terms that even kindergarten kids understand.

    Again, missing the point completely. Musk is either a free speech absolutist as claimed, or he isn't. Clearly he is not.

    Nor is he a great businessman judging by what he has done to Twitter. Anytime now he'll be applying for a government bailout. He has form.

    All is not lost though, Twitter has just received an endorsement from Anas Haqqani. Who is Anas Haqqani? He's a leader of the Taliban. That'll cheer Elon up immensely. The Taliban prefer Twitter, he could use that in an ad.

    Poor ole tdl, he saw musk as being the savior of free speech on social media, and what musk has done is basically destroy twitter. Zuck has taken a very large run up and then kicked musk fair square in the cunt with the threads app which in one day eclipsed truth woeful, opps i mean social.
    I actually do not think it is a good idea for zuck to have this much influence, but none the less find it most amusing that musk fucked this one up so badly considering the mans undoubted success elsewhere. I mean musk has weakened twitter so bad, he in effect invited zuck to fuck him
    Ahhh well, when ever a faaaaar right leaning warbler does not get what he wants, the world is generally a better place for it

    There has been a slight delay in the renaming of Twitter to X. The Twitter sign on the building was in the process of being removed when the SFPD intervened. The genius businessman didn't have the required permits for the work. Meantime it seems the business is simply to be known be known as "er".

    Interesting times… let’s not forget Musk is a student of Klaus Schwab….

    This could be a deliberate sabotage of an easily accessible mass communication tool that even the peasants can use.

    Hilariously Musk has found that Meta likely has the copy-write to the symbol x he wants to change the bird over to. Yet another kick in the nuts for musk from zuck - musk seems to collect them
    Besides there is a much more accurate and relevant new shitter logo, musk obviously likes it since it was for months the response any journalist got back from an email to twitter HQ - that policy changed just as metas new shitter rival popped up - fancy that......

    Twitter logo change

    The blue bird was synonymous with people arguing on the internet.

    Elon's obsession with X is stupid. Model X, Space X, Neuralink X, now he's replacing the t with an x?
