8.99 makes him way more money and people will still call it 8 bucks..
Taylor Lorenz is one of the few that can make Alex Cortez and Sonia Sotomayor seem smarter than GED fails.

Twitter was having an issue yesterday re notifications. It was happening to everyone. I got a message at like 0820 about it from a friend about his and noticed mine were having problems too.

It is spelled "buy," Little Misspeller.
I think Elon will do some good things at twitter to make it more even but I doubt a whole lot changes. The regime will not be happy that he is fact checking their tweets. Also, the ADL mafia will be ready to shutdown everything if they aren't able to exert their control over everything. They made facebook bend the knee and bow to their censorship so i'm sure twitter will be forced to follow suit.

Elon's not gonna data you, sweetie!!
This is why you should never try to appease the activists https://t.co/26jgxYWzzO

What's weird is the company seemed somewhat successful before he bought it? Makes you wonder if he came in and changed things that made it less so.
He has had the company for literally 1 week and made no changes until today when he did layoffs.ScruffyD said:

Yeah and look at where those layoffs are occurring. And the $8 for a blue check mark is being well received. First he was going to take us all to outer space - and now he's panhandling for spare change.

Somewhat successful: countless users, thousands of employees, many advertisers, along with every expectation the site will be there when I type it in.
Today: losing users and advertisers, firing employees in a manner that will get it drug into a class action lawsuit, fully expect the site to just be gone one day, possibly next week.
Which would you prefer after spending billions to acquire it?

This sidebar was framed around Elon's complaining about what is happening since he took over.
I guess if that was his goal he would just stay silent. But many of you no longer exist in reality or fact - and to your point, maybe that's why he paid what he did in time for Tuesday.

Scruff-o-lopogus, it is everyone else that is having trouble with reality. You are the only one who correctly perceives the world around you.ScruffyD said:

Liberal forces are doing lawfare against twitter now since, it appears, that it is no longer run by liberal activists. The left is also trying to activate team government in voiding the sale. We will see how it goes.
who among us doesnt enjoy doing a little lawfare now and again?
especially when it's done with Creepy Ol' Joe at the battlebox.ScruffyD said:

Not that I'm aware of. To monetize it they are going to have to "de-bot" the platform which I think they are already starting to do. Next comes $8 check marks which, while being panned by some, will absolutely work. It's how Planet Fitness exists.
Truly amazing how Musk, having done absolutely nothing, has forced these cretins to drop the mask and admit how much their epistemic authority depends entirely on top down manipulation of what people see, hear, and say… https://t.co/AYapZtgKiP

Why does this only make me happier? How will we survive without the "trusted" blue-checks on Twitter to tell us how to think?

"The 2016 election was illegitimate"- BRAVE, HEROIC, Democracy in Action!!!
"The 2020 election was illegitimate"- White supremacist, totalitarian, our democracy literally hanging by a thread!!

Musk's "crime" as such is failing to signal sufficient loyalty to the regime

"Since going public in 2013, Twitter has only occasionally turned a profit, even if it has a commanding role in politics and culture worldwide."

Twitter is full of Chinese and Russian propaganda, porn, videos glorifying street crime and violence, and people promoting terrorism. But it was only when Elon Musk took over that advertisers decided it wasn't brand-friendly.

It's definitely not full of Chinese and Russian porn 
Surely we’ll be getting play-by-play coverage of the tragedy of the layoffs like we did with Twitter https://t.co/7TWmdvMGw4

It's happening everywhere right now. My friends wife was laid off from her hospital and she has been the leader of the speech therapy department for like 20 years. Blessing in disguise as she was ready to go but it's gonna her brutal.
