Man who owns twitter:
"Better to talk to people than communicate via tweet."

Forcing an employee trying to get paid to prove their worth in front of 100 million people.
Mocking their work. Mocking their disability.
If you don’t understand Musk is a horror show, something is fundamentally broken inside you.

I have never envied a skill more than someone who can receive a deadline..let’s say a week out. Calculate it’ll take 20 hours of work and then evenly spread that out throughout the week.
My brain only knows one option and that’s to just wait until the last day and stay awake for… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1632888416953040897

the highway on the left moves 300,000 people every day

The cool thing about Elon Musk owning Twitter is that now everyone gets a taste of the quality and reliability that are hallmarks of the Tesla ownership experience.

We worked for more or less every big tech company.

We grew fast and made money. I think that's what you are referring to when you say independently wealthy?

That I independently made my money, as opposed to say, inherited an emerald mine.

This is known in semantics land as winning the entire argument

Today I learned that when Twitter acquired @uenodotco in 2021, @iamharaldur quietly negotiated for the acquisition price to be paid as salary so he could pay 46% in taxes instead of 22%, in gratitude to his education in Finland.

An especially stark contrast in character today.

Some parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now. We made an internal change that had some unintended consequences. We’re working on this now and will share an update when it’s fixed.

Build From Your Strengths and Weaknesses

When your sole focus is on money, you will burn out.

Write the first chapter of Genesis as a LinkedIn self promotion

Bing, write the first chapter of Genesis as a corporate memo.

In retrospect this was the best smartphone. High productivity, low addiction. No infinite scroll, no engagement hacking, just messaging with your friends and typing emails very fast with that clicky keyboard. Someone should do a new one.

Choice for users:

If you start using the bluesky app, but decide you want to host your own server, or have a username that’s your personal website, you can switch over to doing that. Account portability will let users switch services without losing friends or data.
