Vox Populi

Soon after taking over, Elon Musk gave an ultimatum to Twitter employees: Do ‘extremely hardcore’ work or get out and a few days later asked "Anyone who actually writes software, please report to the 10th floor at 2 pm" for in-person code reviews. The site's new owner also posted a poll asking if he should reinstate the former president's account. After the poll closed with an affirmative answer, Musk tweeted, using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God”, although according to Reuters, the former president said "I don't see any reason for it".

This post was deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but we really have a glut of Musk / Twitter posts at the moment -- too many to easily keep track of for people just trying to keep up with latest news. Please check the twitter and musk tags, thank you! -- taz



 
With reportedly only a few hundred employees left, there are thoughts on the many ways Twitter could fail and if Twitter could go bankrupt, especially if the concerns about sabotage are accurate.

I imagine this is the first popular vote that Trump has ever won. Give it up for the same Russian bots that helped him back in 2016, I guess.

Donald Trump might have liked Twitter, but he likes tormenting needy people more. Elon is so thirsty it’ll take a while for Trump to come down off the buzz and actually come back. Meanwhile, Kanye is back and tweeting “shalom :)” so that’s how that’s going…
