Musk offers to buy Twitter

[Roller]

Trump won't have the money to buy Twitter once he gets done shelling out for lawyers. Not even if Twitter ends up bankrupt and the receiver looking to sell it for what to at least pay off the banks at maybe 40c on the dollar.

Since when has Trump actually shelled out for his lawyers (or anyone else, for that matter)?

Maybe Musk will just sign it over to Trump as a gift in order to get himself away from the Twitter mess he's made .....(parody!)

well trump is a expert at bankrupting companies.

Musk has tweeted that he will reinstate Trump's account. So far Trump sounds like not rejoining.

Musk is desperate for any sort of boost he can get and since anyone with any credibility is jumping ship he's grasping at anything, letting Trump back is rock bottom and any of the few remaining advertisers who were on the fence likely just jumped off.

If nothing else all of this at least explains why Teslas are so full of problems off the line due to a lack of any real QA, he drives his people into the ground to where they can no longer perform at a functional level. It makes sense that he comes from a father who used slave labor in a diamond mine.

Didn’t Musk earlier promise that there will be a council of respected people of some sort that decides whom to unban? Another lie then?

At any rate Twitter is done.

Now I’m really disappointed in Musk. I thought we’d get at least another month of creative daily Twitter fuckups before he’d reach for letting Trump back on. At the festival of dipshits you don’t bring on the headliner while the opening band is still kicking themselves in the balls.

Well he has at least very likely messed up the playlist for this concert by asking engineers who've just resigned to provide some details of how Twitter works ON THEIR WAY OUT THE DOOR.

Well, someone is a bit touchy this morning.
Edit: Turns out this is fake.

Right. And who is the person creating this drama?

I heard Trump was reinstated, so it is established that Twitter accepts or does not give a shit about the spreading of disinformation. I was never active on Twitter, actually I hated the name, so I wish the platform all my worst. My impression is that Musk is an anti-democratic egomaniac. If incorrect, am willing to adjust my position.

He's turned it down, when you can't even get Trump back you know you're fucked.

So tired of all these wannabe oligarchs damaging the country with their narcissism, ego and stupidity.

CBS News’ decision to step back from Twitter comes a little more than three weeks into Musk’s ownership of the company — over which time Twitter’s employee base has shrunk to about 33% its former size.

A lot of “ios developer twitter” (which is mostly who I interact with) is now on mastodon. It will be interesting to see if/when various cohorts move and where they move to.

I've toyed with the idea of setting up a Mastodon account, but the whole notion that you pick a home server, and this server can randomly choose to federate or defederate with any of the hundreds of other Mastodon servers doesn't strike me as being very efficient.

If a server gets defederated, there’s a pretty good chance that there’s a good reason for it (like when a server full of nazis gets defederated).

If you stick to one of the bigger servers, chances are good that you’ll always be connected to the vast majority of non-garbage servers).

And you can't even register at the main server at the moment (it was open when I looked a couple of months ago):

Just going to leave my Twitter accounts alone, and ignore them

I signed up on mastodon.social a week or so ago, so maybe it’s a temporary issue.

I wonder if they're trying to distribute registrations across more servers vs. overloading their primary server[?]

Side note: if I was going to register it would probably be this server, because of this account
