Hope you like MyPillow and Black Rifle Coffee ads in your twitter feed
Very easy to mute those companies’ ads.
Me thinks unmutable (that cost advertisers more) are not that far off
https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-payroll-finance-department-resigns-en-masse-under-elon-musk-2022-11After reading this .. I can't see how Twitter can survive much longer. Eventually the guy who pushes the thing that makes sure the database doesn't corrupt isn't there because he's either fired or just doesn't get his paycheck so stops coming to work.No accounting, no payroll, sales people not getting paid, no revenue, skeleton IT crew.Seems irreparably broken at this point. Over/under on it being turned off? I'm thinking Tuesday.

Thanks for the link Junior.
It’s fine. It’s been over a year.
Why do you do this? People are having an on topic conversation and you yet again feel the need to inject your politics. Stop being selfish.
Mike has certainly stepped outside politics line before, but spot the lie in his statement.
Since I didn't get to it yesterday, I've just mopped up the thread instead of using the hammer. MU82, Zig - you both get a demerit.
Elon Musk Tweets Defense of Cop Who Killed Unarmed Black Man in Ferguson, MissouriThe billionaire deleted his original tweet early Wednesday but replaced it with a DOJ report.https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-tweets-cop-killed-unarmed-black-man-ferguson-1849815713"Elon Musk tweeted a defense of the police officer who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown—an unarmed Black man in Ferguson, Missouri back in 2014—early Wednesday before deleting the incendiary post. Musk said the police officer was “exonerated” and that the narrative around the shooting was a “fiction.”Gizmodo isn’t going to relitigate what happened in 2014. But we do find it notable that Musk wants to reopen the wounds of that summer, either to stoke more controversy on his social media platform with the hopes that it generates attention for a site that’s hemorrhaging advertisers, or simply because Musk wants to signal to his right-wing fans that he’s well and truly one of them. Whatever his goal, Musk succeeded at proving he desperately wants approval from the absolute worst people on the planet."Again, either Musk thinks he can fix Twitter's business model by driving up volume, the very sort of volume that drives away the advertisers that account for 85% of Twitter's revenue, or he just doesn't care. I'm leaning towards the latter more and more.
The best way to understand Elon Musk is to understand he’s not a good person. He may be rich, he may be smart. None of those make you a good person
Well, yes, he has relentlessly proven he is an awful asswipe, one that has removed anyone that dares disagree with and has dismantled all governance structure around himself so that he can indulge his 12-year-old boy self unfettered by any rules.But what I am wondering about is WTF he is doing from a business decision-making standpoint.
D-bag, for sure.Not to mention another guy afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder.
