Just so everyone is aware, this tweet is from December. This isn’t regarding the recent changes.
Yeah, but the “won’t happen again” part is relevant.
Could you refresh my memory, what was the policy change then that spurred this tweet?
He banned the jet tracker, so people began moving to mastodon to track his jet after mastodon’s Twitter account posted a link to the jet tracker on Mastodon. In response, musk banned mastodon’s Twitter account and also made it against policy to post any links to non-Twitter social media sites on Twitter. This decision was hated by everyone and the first poll was wether to keep it or roll back.
He started putting polls for things like Twitter Blue, other “governance polls”, and eventually, on whether he should resign as CEO. He responded to the result of every poll with “vox populi, vox dei” (Latin: The voice of the people is the voice of God) when it went his way, except the poll for him to step down went against him.
He has not stepped down and he stopped doing the polls.
He is no longer CEO, not that it actually makes a difference.
Here’s a list of his promises: https://elonmusk.today/
Spoiler:
It will happen again
Do any apps implement these tags yet?
I can’t even begin to fathom the type of personality you need to have to still use Twitter.
“Sorry guys, pinky promise I won’t do it again”
I’ve been here a few weeks now, but never asked what it means to add “rule” to a post
The rule in the community and the old subreddit is you have to post one thing before you leave, putting rule in the title means you’re following the rule.
Well, he didn’t really specify who would be voting
Fascists and fascist apologists, probably
Honestly I knew Elon was, to be quite frank, to be an absolute idiot of the highest order. But the current shenanigans just has me feeling like “Our expectations for you were low but holy fuck”
Yeah, honestly I’m a bit ashamed that I didn’t realize just how stupid that man could be, even after hearing that he leaned over to his new wife while dancing at their wedding and whispered in her ear “I am the alpha”. Like, for a long time I just assumed the guy was an arrogant incel-esque asshole who was visionary about things like electric cars and reusable rockets and stuff. Now I realize he’s just a rich egomaniac who stood on the shoulders of scientists that he hired so that he could act like their work was his own. He’s just another rich fool who gets to cosplay being smart.
all his statements age worse than milk
Is this real?
The fact that you have to ask says everything there is to say about Twitter.
That fact that unedited screenshots of Twitter’s CEO’s posts can be posted directly to 196 and fit in completely with memes about femboy twink hypnosis says a lot about our society.
the irony.
Cool. Now let’s have a Twitter union vote.
