“Twitter has been already in a state of failure, this is just the nail in the coffin.”

Au contraire. He’s pulling the nails out.

“Trust and Safety team”
It’s never what they say it is.
Inflation Reduction Act?
Affordable Health Care Act?
Never trust these commies!

"The report added, “Massive layoffs and Musk’s demand that remaining employees pledge to work ‘hardcore’ hours have left one of the world’s most influential social media sites operating with a skeleton staff and experts predicting an eventual crash."

Ah! And who is (was) doing the influencing?

This is precisely why they are afraid of free speech.

“A friend of his was banned thus hurting the friend’s reputation and company.”

IIRC, that was Seth from Babylon Bee.

I still can’t get over the audacity for newspapers, who live and breathe the first amendment, suggesting limitations on free speech.

"What happened to my safe place? It uses to be right there, but now it is walled up." This is so gratifying to watch these coddled Millenials and Gen Z whine and cry about not being able to cruise around the company on their scooters and accomplish nothing.

Musk fired something like 75% of the work force and it's still operating with more users.

The “Trust and Safety team.”
Part of the Ministry of Truth, (if not also the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Love, and the Ministry of Plenty). Right up there with the The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith

Censors are NEVER the good guys.

Three quarters of Twitter’s staff is gone, but Twitter is still running.

I guess those 3/4 weren’t important.

The Biden administration will find a way to try to punish Musk for this. This article is a deep-state opening salvo.

““dangerous language. It includes clear, explicit, and imminent threats of violence”

That is half of Bidet’s speeches!

What a bunch of toddlers. I will enjoy much shadenfreud when these toddlers get smacked in the face by reality. Their entire lives have been pampered and protected. Day care. Kindergarten. Public school. College. Twitter. They are the clowns who have never been in a fist fight but scream SILENCE IS VIOLENCE the same time they say WORDS ARE VIOLENCE.

Bottom line- because nobody expects any 3rd grader to be accountable or actually work at a job

Little Anthony "Tears on My Pillow"

No one remembers me, guess I'll just sit and grouch, If I could have a place... on my parent's couch.
Tears from my safe place, pain in my heart;
Because Elon.. fiired....my worthless part.

If I could start anew, I'd find some other work;
Don't think that will happen, because I just won't look;
Musk is so damn greedy, and I'm am so needy;
If Elon had not... taken..., my... cushy job

Whoa oh oh, I aam mel...ting....

Interlude:

We were so important, though we took the fall.
If only the Board...would have said, we love you censoring all.

I have been thru four buyouts of companies I worked for by other companies.

Every time, the entire management staff were fired, laid off, let go, or whatever euphemism you wish to use.

These snowflakes just got a lesson in real life......................
