So for those who haven't been on Twitter since Elon took over....
1. The company introduced a new subscription service that gives users a blue checkmark identical to that given by verified users/companies. Since then a fake Eli Lily account tweeted that "Insulin is now free!" causing the real Eli Lily stock to plunge. The same day a fake Coca-Cola account tweeted "if we get 10,000 retweets we'll bring back the cocaine" and a fake Weight Watchers account apologized for causing any eating disorders. The "Twitter Blue" program has been paused.
2. Elon announces that a number of "microservices" have been shut down explaining that they were causing latency. An engineer working for the company politely explained that they weren't causing latency and had important uses. Elon publicly announced said engineer was fired.
3. Upon shutting down microservices two factor authorization no longer works on the site. Oops!
4. 10 Twitter employees who made coments critical of Elon's leadership on the company's internal Slack channel were fired via e-mail overnight.
5. Advertising company Omnicom advises it's firms (which include McDonalds, Apple and Pepsi) stop advertising on Twitter due to a serious risk to brand safety. This follows advertising firm Group M (who's clients include Pepsi and Google.) This follows firm IPG (who's clients include Coca-Cola and American Express) advising it's clients to stop advertising on Twitter following an uptick in hate speech and the company laying off most of it's moderators.
6. Elon announces that the "Twitter Blue" service is returning on November 29th without explaining how people are going to continue to use the service for explicit trolling.
7. RIPJimmyFallon is now tending despite the late night host being alive and well.
