Prediction:
1. Shareholder pressure from Tesla keeps increasing
2. Musk realizes that since he's taken over he's only made Twitter's financial losses worse, so now it's continuously burning a hole in his pocket
3. Musk steps down, blaming woke media, the libs, etc.
4. Twitter is damaged goods. Gets sold for $1 bln to some faceless corporation (like Tumblr was sold to Verizon).
5. Twitter slowly becomes irrelevant
6. 3 years later, some fans buy it for $1 million and try to open source it

BREAKING NEWS!
Internal sources claim John Mastodon will be the new CEO of Twitter.

The issue with Elon's latest actions is that this time, they are not partisan thoughtcrimes that primarily deeply offend wokes or anything like that. Rather, they go against cross-tribal principles that are a commonly understood bedrock of fair competition. This crosses a new line.

Some people "Things can't go viral on #mastodon

#JohnMastodon: "Hold my beer."

And here's the official announcement:

The entire @macstories team and media properties are now on Mastodon. We did it on our own server, which we fully control, and which anyone can follow thanks to federation.

I'm excited to own our social media presence. Long live the open web. Let's go 🚀

“It is the more personal pain of seeing a 5% GPU utilization number in production. I am offended by it.” 🔥

TIL in 1935 FDR introduced a top tier tax rate of 89%. Only one person was rich enough to qualify for the tax rate: John D Rockefeller.

maybe twitter's URL censoring is so easily circumvented because all the software engineers still there are desperately trying to keep their lines of code metrics as high as possible

WOW. Elon Musk's Twitter straight-up banned the account for Mastodon. Just, wow.
