Twitter thread

Whelp Twitter already scrapped the Official Tag only a few hours after launch 

twitter's staff in IT Ops/Deployment/SysEng/etc must be having heart attacks:
- this feature was developed very, very quickly.  i doubt it was properly tested.
- twitter's IT infrastructure is MASSIVE.  you don't just deploy code on a lark, getting something into Production (AKA "going live") is an event that is scheduled, planned, coordinated - to ensure your business doesn't go down because the servers got hosed by some new code.  i suspect elon has thrown all these precautions out the window and now the techs are stuck doing what elon wants, as quickly as elon wants.  this is seriously risky.
- rolling back a feature like this is also risky, especially on such a short time-scale.  i'm sure they planned the ability to remove, but who knows if they practiced the process...

would not want to be in the trenches for this one. 

apparently i'm not the only one: "Several top security and privacy executives resigned from Twitter on Thursday, citing the rapid rollout of new features without proper security reviews and Elon Musk’s order that employees return to the office."

Musk is the ultimate sorting hat. Only the people willing to work for him will remain.

[Cock Van Der Palm]

Yeah.  I don't see the people unwilling to work for him remaining.

from inside Twitter:

Employees are comparing Musk's Twitter reign to the Trump White House, staying on to keep it from "going off the rails."

Musk is creating new rules “by Tweet edict,” then employees have to figure out how to enforce them

[Starsky]

You guys are so fascinated by Elon Musk…

Well it’s like watching a car crash, you want to turn away but you can’t

This is the Twitter thread
But it is very Trump like in execution
Constantly shock and awe

This is honestly much better that I imagined a hell scape would look like

NEW: Twitter just alerted employees that effective immediately, all office buildings are temporarily closed and badge access is suspended. No details given as to why.

[sweetcell]

have we reached peak Elon yet?  that 44 billion price tag wasn't just for a user base, some code and several buildings full of servers... the human capital was a huge part of that price.  emphasis on WAS.

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

If you’re a narcissist, you can’t put a price tag on getting this many people to talk about you. For all the “he’s ruining Twitter” talk, the Twitter experience is exactly what it was before he bought it with the exception of Elon Musk now being the main character on it.

Seems like every tweet now “this is my last tweet, was nice knowing ya”

Elon, may be a dick, but this made me chuckle

"How do you make a small fortune in social media?" Musk asked. "Start out with a large
