My main concern about changes to Twitter is that it's going to go all in on just allowing any and every bit of misinformation to spread like wildfire now. It all comes off as hilarious and no big deal to your average person, but it badly affects vulnerable groups of people.

lol Elon Musk had two-factor authentication turned off today, so if you use that service on your Twitter account, you can't login now.

jesus watching this guy try to get the approval of others is so sad and pathetic. Imagine being the wealthiest person on earth, you have gone to space, and you own an electric car company that skyrocketed electric cars to the forefront of automobiles, and you still have to lie to people about your interests because you manage to still be that boring of a person.

While it's unlikely Twitter will die

I thought this at first, but the key people who kept Twitter running are no longer there and the remaining employees are unable to be paid now because all of HR and payroll quit.

https://downdetector.com/status/twitter/ Is showing a drop in the number of outages, I don’t think the collapse is happening right now. Not saying it isn’t going to happen, but just not right now.

And the huge number of resignations happened at the end of the work day on Thursday. So we will see how Friday, and this weekend pans out.

Also a lot of people probably don't realize this, but Elon Musk took out a 44 billion dollar loan across multiple banks, and none of those banks are actually requiring that he pay the loans back. He basically acquired Twitter for free and then let it burn to the ground for a laugh.

Considering he fired engineers who corrected him about issues with Twitter, yes.

A video that came out recently about why F1 cars take so long to start.

Heres the bookmark about how their monitoring program needs to run on an old Windows 95 laptop because anything faster will throw off the stat polling

This car isn't a current generation F1, but is this all still valid even today?

The world is a cruel place, so Tate will likely be out of jail soon and posting on twitter again as if nothing happened. But in the mean time we dont have to hear from him and his stupid takes, and we got some massive lols out of it.

Who would look at a Cybertruck going by and think "Yeah; I want that first-year 3D-modelling student's project to drive in!"

It's vaguely interesting from the front or sides, but it's hideous from behind.

Also wouldn't removing the side-mirrors be illegal? Aside from insanely dangerous to other drivers of course.

There are a lot of ultra useless smooth brains out there that worship Elon and think this poo poo is incredible.
