A lot of people have had their lives turned upside down by this guy. They may not be literal kings but the hierarchical nature of employment, together with the role money plays in politics, gives billionaires a lot of power over our lives.
Rich people influence your life even if they’re not politicians. Using their money and influence they push parties and organizations that push their interests, which are usually the exact opposite of what benefits ordinary people
Imagine being a developer and getting a phone call at 9pm on Friday of a holiday weekend and being greeted with “Sooooo real funny story. We’re going to need to do some heavy load testing on the production server and we’re gonna need you to come in”
I would simply say no. But, by this point, I would have been loudly voicing all of the potential problems. Not my problem they ignored all the warnings, I’m not gonna give up a holiday weekend for their fuck up.
In a company like Twitter, that isn’t going to offer you any kind of protection from getting fired or disciplined. Elon will just fire you anyway.
He doesn’t have the nuance and foresight to consider any of the experience of his employees because nothing he does with Twitter has any kind of strategy behind it.
He thinks Twitter is Tesla and he can do whatever he wants, but even with Tesla he’s starting to realize how wrong that actually is.

When I heard about the change to block unregistered users from even reading tweets, I wondered if it affected embeds too.
One of the few good things to come out of this mess if it stops news sites from writing articles that are little more than 6 tweet embeds back to back.
Does this take into account that Twitter’s new CEO has resumed paying Google? I can see that maybe the tumult could have caused a lapse in the contract until a new arrangement is finalized, but that’s just speculation.
Musk is an idiot and his handling of Twitter is even more idiotic. But can we not use unsourced screenshots of note taking apps for this community? If there’s substantiated news, post a link to a decent source. If we allow these kinda posts just because we agree with them, we’re gonna be very vulnerable to misinformation (case in point: the fact that there’s articles saying that they resumed paying this bill).
