People are saying he’s thick for paying £44billion, I’m not so sure. Could be the bargain of all time in a decade or so.

It's only an opinion like 

And it's still early days 

But

You can’t prove I was wrong about Elmander

And the irony of that post is that it was posted on…………

……….twitter

Can someone summarise briefly what musk has done?

I know hes bought twitter, but why has its value crashed so massively?

Bought it

Trying to make it pay for itself

getting rid of the leftie/democratic/liberal lies

It’ll work, or it won’t, but he is clearly committed, but, I expect, smart enough not to have bet the house on it.

Advertisers (which is Twitters main source of income) are pulling out because he's fundamentally changing the way it works. He made it so any cunt can just pay 8 quid for a "verified account" and call it whatever they want - so loads of people paid for verification and pretended to be big brands (like Coca Cola and Nintendo etc.), and posted offensive stuff. They all got banned pretty quickly of course, but the big boys don't like taking that kind of risk.

Here's an example - Mario giving the middle finger from what at first glance appears to be a genuine Nintendo account, because of the verified tick:

Also the day after he took over the use of the N word went up by over 500%, at which point because of the algorithms that Twitter use to target people for advertisers, this caused issue with said advertisers so there pulled their money. As an example I saw, someone had call someone chicken loving N word, advertising then shows up for chicken sandwiches and the like, which looks to anyone that these companies are condoning the use of said word, not really what companies want.

I suppose he might be now he owns it but he did renege on the deal he previously agreed in April - resulting in Twitter taking him to court in order to force the sale - before agreeeing to go through with it at the agreed pruce after all.

fRee sPeeCh guy got incredibly thin skin when people are taking the piss out of him. Who would have though.

Last couple of weeks have been entertaining though, I can't lie. Tick subscription appears to have been put in the bin now.

Basically Twitter is now full of blue tick accounts who are mucking about

I don’t get what people are so fucked off about.

He’s paid £44billion for it, if he wants to update the software so that every tweet is in swastikas and wingdings, then he can.

Its just an app. Popular, but an app.

Every cunt complaining is still using Twitter to complain, the thick wankers.

He’s been very entertaining the last few days. A lot of staff have spat their dummies out after he removed their free meals. 
 

 

Does he mean dinner diner or tea dinner?

Thing is a lot.of these companies people.join because of the extras, not the wage.

Place I was at was free breakfast, subsided food and free bar night on a Thursday. Plus stuff like big gym reductions, flu jabs, on site hairdressing, HIT classes etc It's all to keep you in the building and working.

That's nothing compared to Google opposite, free food all the time, work after 7 free takeout, free snacks and drink and insite gym (new place has a pool and running track)

It's these benefits that keep a lot of the younger staff on cheaper wages, working stupid hours, living in a rat box in the city and choosing one company over another.

It's not just the free grub.

They'll be losing staff as well. Heard my old place lost the 02 account and Thursday night bar is limited to two drinks. Folk aren't happy but considering they made our whole agency redundant, fuck 'em
