Threads is already cratering, users are averaging less than half as much time now as they did when it was new and a sure Twitter Killer. https://gizmodo.com/engagement-instagram-threads-falls-meta-blocks-vpn-eu-1850640519?utm_content=

Well now it's getting Juicier. https://bizwest.com/2023/06/29/twitter-parent-x-corp-sues-boulder-landlord-over-5-8m-allowance/

Australia is threatening to fine Twitter nearly three-quarters of a million dollars a day if Twitter doesn't do something about hate speech. I find it hilarious that her actual complaint is that Twitter is "Generating Reports."...

So it looks like Zuckerberg and Musk have agreed to a cage fight. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/06/22/elon-musk-vs-mark-zuckerberg-cage-fight/70345467007/ This should be entertaining though my initial thought is that Musk is going to get creamed. Zuckerberg at 38 is closer to his...

This is one of the more surreal headlines I've seen. Musk is being sued for not paying lawyers who sued him, for suing him. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/01/twitter-hired-experts-for-case-against-musk-now-musk-wont-pay-them-lawsuit-says/

Political ads have an entire raft of specific laws surrounding them, enough that I'm not familiar with how they work and can't have a well-informed opinion. That said I wouldn't be surprised if this did fall afoul of one of them, or if there was some special carveout just for political ads either.

Hey, when remember when those two pranksters calling themselves Ligma and Johnson waited outside Twitter HQ with cardboard boxes and managed to completely sucker the media into believing they were freshly fired Twitter Employees? Elon got in on the joke by fake "Rehiring" them and doing a...

Actually often a good idea. The US is way repressed when it comes to alcohol, but actual studies have shown that it increases problem-solving and creativity. Being blackout drunk doesn't work, obviously, but moderate intoxication to a mild buzz can be helpful and the presence of alcohol...

Given Silicon Valley's importance to the entire tech industry that's roughly like saying "No, this isn't how federal politics work, it's a very specific Washington DC political culture thing."

Yeah, there's nothing unusual in a company giving food to its employees. I had a previous job that kept a kitchen loaded with snacks for the workers to eat whenever, not full lunches but still it was just a way to attract better-quality talent. Google actually has a ludicrous array of benefits...

Hmm, link doesn't work for me.

Oh, so much. I don't think ya'll even realize how bad it is now. I was browsing r/TheRightCan'tMeme looking for some good owns against the conservatives and the front page is like, half Elon memes now. Trump was already the God Emperor of Man. Now Elon Musk's become the embodiment of Chaos...

I'll confess I'm surprised myself, honestly I've been theorizing to myself that this entire drama was largely fabricated between them to stir up public interest in the sale and perhaps get more advertising dollars, so I expected it to draw out. Perhaps the judge's involvement prevented more.

Musk has changed his bio to read "Chief Twit." Dude's definitely enjoying the trolling he's doing. This deal will either close tomorrow or we're in for a lot more legal shenanigans.
