genius move sir, a block feature that doesn't block

[humanjeff]

now to most of you this might SEEM like a sneering dickhead making his unpopular product even more unappealing

but you have to understand that Elon Musk is a business genius who has lost more than 50 billion US dollars in one year, entirely avoidably

[humanjeff]

Musk has decided that he really shouldn't be paying people to post conspiracy theories backed by footage from ARMA 3, and the blue checks are FURIOUS and sometimes INCOMPREHENSIBLE

anyway a rare half-W for Musk

[humanjeff]

welp

this is what Free Speech Absolutism looks like, weirdly it seems just like garden variety conservative bigotry

oh you have got to be kidding me

At 2:36 on Monday morning, James Musk sent an urgent message to Twitter engineers. “We are debugging an issue with engagement across the platform,” wrote Musk, a cousin of the Twitter CEO, tagging “@here” in Slack to ensure that anyone online would see it. “Any people who can make dashboards and write software please can you help solve this problem. This is high urgency. If you are willing to help out please thumbs up this post.” When bleary-eyed engineers began to log on to their laptops, the nature of the emergency became clear: Elon Musk’s tweet about the Super Bowl got less engagement than President Joe Biden’s. Biden’s tweet, in which he said he would be supporting his wife in rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles, generated nearly 29 million impressions. Musk, who also tweeted his support for the Eagles, generated a little more than 9.1 million impressions before deleting the tweet in apparent frustration. In the wake of those losses — the Eagles to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Musk to the president of the United States — Twitter’s CEO flew his private jet back to the Bay Area on Sunday night to demand answers from his team. Within a day, the consequences of that meeting would reverberate around the world, as Twitter users opened the app to find that Musk’s posts overwhelmed their ranked timeline. This was no accident, Platformer can confirm: after Musk threatened to fire his remaining engineers, they built a system designed to ensure that Musk — and Musk alone — benefits from previously unheard-of promotion of his tweets to the entire user base.

fucking INCREDIBLE

By Monday afternoon, “the problem” had been “fixed.” Twitter deployed code to automatically “greenlight” all of Musk’s tweets, meaning his tweets will bypass Twitter’s filters designed to show people the best content possible. The algorithm now artificially boosted Musk’s tweets by a factor of 1,000 – a constant score that ensured his tweets rank higher than anyone else’s in the feed.

this guy is the saddest loser in all of human history

my late father used to sing a little song I find myself humming often when reading Elon Musk tweets:

"That sounds like Bullshit - to meeeeeeeeeeee"

(imagine this sung in a fairly impressive baritone voice)

[humanjeff]

glorious

$8 a day in toilet paper

[humanjeff]

watching Mush unfollow all his bootlickers is hilarious, but describing him as "account that mostly reposts old memes" is *chef's kiss*

what a monumental piece of shit (pt II)

this was during the investor meeting he just had. it did NOT go well, even if you don't count this part - and people who are reporting that it didn't go well are disappearing from Twitter's search results

$TSLA is no longer appearing in the trending results on Twitter, for some reason. Manipulating stock prices is barely even a crime anyway.

in other news he believes there is a building somewhere that is set up to own Elon Musk on an industrial scale:
