    That's it. So he lies about everything. Nobody is buying pillows.

    And nobody wanted his stupid submarine in that cave rescue, but he insisted upon making an ass of himself.

    And then ended up in a defamation lawsuit because he called the coach a child molester
    He also carried a sink into Twitter HQ with a stupid smile on his face, which was a crime against comedy.

    I do not believe Musk. He sounds more like trump every day. His statements do not ring true and do not follow what investors and observers say.

    Nobody gives a fuck what you think, Twitter needs root and branch surgery to survive. There were far too many people doing very little, you need somebody ruthless to turn it around.

    Do you think anyone in the universe cares what nonsense you type? Twitter was bought for 44 billion. You find that to be a failure. Musk is losing money out of his ass and that to you is a success. You do not think well. It was founded in 2006 and 15 years later sells for 44 billion. What terrible business that was.

    Musk doesn't need the money. Such a joy to see you libs wadding panties over freedom of speech.

    Twitter was destined for the crapper. Even Jack Dorsey admitted as much but obviously you know better.

    Actually Musk left Africa to escape from his Racist father, when he grew up- Or so he says.

    He'll soon learn that with Free Speech, comes responsibility! Give him a couple of months!

    Because at the moment, he is fostering racism- not his intention, but that is what is the result of his FREE SPEECH NO-HOLES-BARRED policy!

    Musk might very well be a genius, but he's also demented. Without Musk, Ukraine has no satellite access. Kudos to him. Until he has a fit one night and decides to remove it. He already started limiting their access for certain ops. Ironic that he's 'censoring' the use of his system. I hope he doesn't decide that he's siding with Russia suddenly, solely because someone was mean to him.

    His personality is pretty common with nerds that were bullied, who grew up to be wealthy geeks. An insatiable appetite for attention/control. And vengeance.

    I believe we're witnessing a breakdown. His investors are not unlike those who threw money at the trump name (due to cooked books) and were the ones taking the hit as he disappeared with the cash.

    Space Karen lost his space buzz. He yearns to be on the front page for weeks on end, but he hasn't taken any celebrities on a trip around the atmosphere in a while.

    So he decided to make headlines, and move the market when he chose to buy Twitter. He got the attention buzz again, but I'm quite sure investors weren't happy. He tried to pull a 'never mind', but that wasn't happening.

    Now he's got a shiny new toy that he thinks is run by drones who work 14 hours a day. Tesla investors are NOT happy. They're realizing that they bought the name, but it comes with baggage.

    He might build the business end of Twitter back up at one point or another, but he officially politicized it. That typically guarantees a 50% drop in business. But as you say...it's going to be a shit show. Fun to watch with nothing invested. I think of it as a massive Libertarian experiment.

    No censorship. At first. Then they twist themselves into knots defining parameters.
    My sentiments exactly. As for Mark Cuban, I had the chance to work for Broadcast.com as a Communications Engineer, after some of my working associates at TI were laid-off and went to work there, and tried to bring me along when we all got laid off together. But I took a Contract deal to help plan and move the Occidental Petroleum company's Data Center in Houston to Tulsa when Citgo Gas bought them instead. It lasted 3 months and I was hired back by TI after that concluded. But, I made more in those 3 months than I normally made in one year at TI or could have made at Broadcast.com.

    But damn, those guys that went to work for Mark made out like bandits when Yahoo bought the company and their Stock mushroomed. SO, I missed out on that!

    Oh well, win a few, loose a few!

    .
    Twitter is recruiting engineers and designers. Today marks exactly one month since Elon Musk purchased the platform and made several rapid changes to it. Some of those changes included layoffs as well as mass resignations. Elon Musk and the Twitter team are focused on rebuilding the app.

    Daniel Johnson, who was part of the duo thank played a prank on the media following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform, is now working at Twitter. He tweeted that the social media website is hiring and shared how to apply.

    “If you want to rebuild Twitter, then DM me evidence of exceptional ability. If you’re an engineer, this should be a summary of accomplishments and links to code; if you’re a designer, send your portfolio,” Johnson said.
    He added that remote is fine as long as one’s work is truly excellent. Elon Musk confirmed this, noting that the bar for excellence and trust is higher for overcoming communication difficulties.

    Following that, he pointed out that he would ignore messages that don’t send the things he asked for.
    “The volume of messages means just sending me ‘Hey, I’m really talented and would love to help,’ means you get ignored. Include the things I asked for, please.”

    In November, Elon Musk spoke about hiring new employees for the social media platform and even opening a second headquarters in Texas in the future. In a recording of the meeting shared with The Verge by an employee, Elon Musk said that he was looking to hire engineers and that Twitter had positions open in sales.
