The smug, soft, and woke Twitternaughts didn’t realize that Elon had hard-core teams of programmers who do real world stuff who would come in and run circles around them while unsabotaging all their dirty works.

Agreed. They were used to Dorsey who let Roth handle things while Dorsey vacationed at resorts or traveled around speaking to leftist companies telling them how meek he was and how he certainly wanted free speech to thrive on Twitter. Meanwhile, those actually running the place spent Twitter’s money as if it was not their own. Free four-star lunches and a wine bar for those that bothered to come into work. If they did show up and the work was too stressful, they could always spend half the day in the mediation room.

The safety team silenced those that didn’t agree with their world view, and then later found a reason to do so. Meanwhile, they enjoyed checking the porn sites that they allowed to thrive on the site Dorsey was paying for. He took at hands-off approach because then he would have no culpability for their actions.

One thing I disagree with Musk on is when he said Dorsey had no idea what was happening. Of course he did. Do you really think he was unaware the New York Post article on Hunter’s laptop was being suppressed and that news site had been suspended? This was a guy whose company depended on gossip being promulgated. Of course he kept up with multiple news sites from all viewpoints and knew that was happening. He just ignored it and later pretended he knew nothing about it and a lot of other stuff that was going on.

Maybe Musk is trying to lure Dorsey into a false sense of security. I don’t know. However, his attempts to excuse Dorsey from knowing what was going on at his own company doesn’t make sense. Musk wouldn’t excuse that behavior from himself, why would he excuse it from another company CEO?

When was the last time any real software development done at Twitter. The product has been mature for years. I would have Twitter ages ago. I loathed maintenance and only did that for a brief time early in my career. That’s the stuff of entry level people and poses no real future. I doubt there were any more that a couple decent developers left at Twitter. The good one moves on long ago.
