Official Twitter Self Destruction Thread
 

We've been talking about this in the off topic thread, but more hilarious news keeps happening so it probably deserves its own thread.

Elon is going on a banning spree for a couple days, first the person who tracks his jet that last month he said he would never ban, got banned. And now whoever in the press covers his.. whatever... is getting banned


I'll post this old tweet of his for no reason


I will update this thread, not because I care about twitter or follow all this stuff, but I see it all the time and I think it's hilarious.

what's gonna happen to my fob porn

People use twitter for pronz?

Actually. People use twitter? :badpokerface:

Probably has something to do with this:

Don't fuck with a billionaire's kid I guess. Don't dox people.


Edit:

ELON IS LITERALLY DOXING IN THAT TWEET EleGiggle

So another guy asked LAPD if they are aware, and they said "no crime reports have been filed". He shared that on Twitter, and got suspended.

you spelled Revscene wrong.

this guy can burn through 44 billion faster than my wife could/would. props Elon, you batshit crazy idiot

he went from a visionary to a lunatic and now anything associated with him is taking a beating on their stock prices. Sooner or later those weird nerds that defend him will have to concede he's a complete nutjob.

'free speech absolutist'

don't get me wrong i don't think free speech absolutism is a good thing, but if you're going to call yourself that then don't be a hypocrite.

I was giving him the benefit of doubt at first, but yeah guess he's just another nut whose money went to their heads

A slightly different take on twitter, tbh the fact it's still running is pretty surprising. From a business and tech operational standpoint I think the worst of it is over, and there is a very real possibility he can now turn it around and start rebuilding his version of twitter.

Elon Musk, Management Guru? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/16/t...vX7RuCn2rQM6qF

The social/public relations aspect of it is an entire different story, if people and advertisers will stay on twitter once this insanity is normalized.

Now College Football might be his undoing? LOL

All the college football nuts are up in arms because they use flight tracking sources to track the movements of college football coaches and it's some massive hobby apparently? Twitter is blocking all posts that "doxx" people ergo they can't post about their favourite hobby lol

I know Americans have a truly ridiculous (read: stupid) level of obsession with football, but tracking the movements of college coaches as a hobby is a new level of weird. As we discussed in the other thread I know there's nothing to do in large sections of the country but come on.

watching the dumpster fire is entertaining

but i find tracking someone's plane creepy if they're not a head of state

it is public information though, so even if it's creepy it's not in any way illegal.
the only reason the account became banned was because it was elon's jet. if it were for anyone else then this would never have become a problem.
free speech for me but not for thee.

I know he's the owner and all but I wonder what kind of recourse he's going to receive if he keeps going on like this haha.

Someone want to make a new Twitter and make tons of money? Twitter 2.0 Real Free Speech :troll:

they already have that with 'truth social', but then they just police left wing tweets instead. also eventually they realized they couldnt be truly free speech anyway because their web hosting services threatened to cut them off, and app stores like google play or apple's app store are constantly threatening to delist their app if they don't have any moderation that is consistent with their own values

This guy is speed running the total destruction of his goodwill and reputation faster then Kayne :lol

Wonder what all the other billionaires are saying behind closed doors about Elon Musk... :lol

elon's tesla stock selloff in progress.

bagholders going to be: :QQ:

me: :ilied:

honestly they should ban all non-commercial flight tracking
just keep justin trudeau's :lol

Twitter is like an out-of-warranty BMW bought by a cheap guy who won't do regular
maintenance and only buys regular gas. It's not going to break down right away but it will break down.

The parameter I take is always “how I’d like it?”

Will I be happy for someone to always track my movements 24/7 if I were a famous person? Heck no.

I think real time tracking is just creepy to say the least. And even the hottest chick I know wouldn’t be a person I want to follow her moves 24/7.

However, I do understand that some might have an interest in that kind of information, however fucked up it might be. I propose a delay to the info feed across the board. There should be a 12hr delay for tracking of any person or info that points to a particular person. And really, that should be the law. Digital tracking is no different than stalking. And if stalking is illegal, I can’t see how digital tracking is any different.
