MODERATORS
Their "press email" is literally just a bot that auto responds with the poop emoji. Has been for months.
I like that every news article mentions this
I initially wrote "how is it newsworthy anymore" but really as long as that's how twitter communicates with news orgs, that's twitter's official statement about anything they're asked
I wonder how those people still working there feel
Sometimes being at a company in the end times can be fun and chaotic. You have a sense of comeraderie with everyone who's going through the same thing. With the amount of overwork Musk mandates to keep his ego going, I could see everyone pretending to work hard while he's around, then fucking around, looking for new jobs, etc the rest of the time.
Even then, there are also people who just can't afford to get fired (for whatever reason), so that sensation of dread is always keeping them from quitting and searching for something else.
I couldn't help but feel massively embarrassed.
The secret ingredient is crime.
I still can’t believe how much of an idiot Elon has been managing this. How many drugs was he on when he submitted the bid.
Narcissistic ego is his drug.
