    Twitter’s response to a request for comment regarding its Boulder offices was an automatic email with a poop emoji. Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted in May that this is the new auto-response for press inquiries.

    Wow!

    If I just broke contracts left and right, my credit rating would be ruined and I’d struggle to get any more financing. Yet this guy continues to leave a longer trail of financial wreckage behind him with few consequences. Our financial system is broken

      The social credit rating system is just for poor Americans. Most people in the world don’t have a credit rating, and neither do rich Americans or big companies.

    I can’t believe this is real, what an absolute clown show.

    If you’re going to link to an article that’s behind a paywall, please warn us.

      A paywall can be a fair way for publishers to get subscribers and revenue.

      Here it’s less fair since it’s an anti-adblock paywall that specifically targets user who obect to targeted advertising. It’s trying to pressure readers into accepting tracking by advertisers.

        I agree that paywalls can be fair, and I appreciate your additional analysis of the situation. I’m not okay with being tracked.

    So everyone has to return to office, but they didn’t pay the bills for said office? This sounds about right for today’s Twitter. What an awful place to work now.

    I’m curious how Twitter is still running. How can the servers stay up as the support structure rots around them…

      Twitter servers are run by Google in Google datacenters. If Twitter just ceased to exist but would continue to mostly pay Google, it would stay up and running.

      I mean usually if these systems are well architected and have enough head room they will just continue to run. It becomes problematic if you introduce change and don’t know them well. Change is the biggest factor leading to incidents.

    i find it fascinating how many rubes seem to idolize self aggrandizers - there are really millions of people in the world who think each of [Elon Musk, Kanye West, Donald Trump, many more] are ‘truly geniuses’ - largely because they keep telling people that they are geniuses (and pay people to repeat the myth).

    Maybe I should be more self aggrandizing…
