This is Elon Musk 101. He lies and commits fraud after fraud for more than half a decade now. But tech crowd used to see him as a mix of Jesus and Ironman, and gave him a free pass, because he's cool. Luckily, it seems he ran out of luck with Twitter tho, and tides are turning.

>because he's cool Elon Musk is not cool, he just wears a leather jacket.

  More specifically the billionaire mid-life crisis starter pack: leather jacket, hair regrowth (alternatively clean shaven), designer jeans, fast sunglasses/aviators.

Oh, let's hope that he sells Twitter to someone else... at a big loss.

  Assuming there’s anything left to sale. With how recklessly he operates it, I can bet $100, that they’ll have catastrophic outage in next 1-2 years, that ends up in weeks long downtime and/or significant data loss.

  I'm hoping for it to get sold off in the bankruptcy proceedings. Ideally bought by Automattic: they've been doing a decent job with Tumblr.

Everyone said Twitter would have crashed and burned by now.. seems like nothing really happened and everyone forgot.

  > seems like nothing really happened Like plenty happened, including lawsuits because they couldn’t, you know, send severance letters. The only thing here is you expected things to happen yesterday, but in reality it’s a slow roll towards a cliff. You’ll only one day suddenly see the cumulative consequences of all the small things when they drop off that ledge.

    'send severance letters' ah yes today's narrative about another lawsuit that will go nowhere and everyone will forget in a week for the next unsubstantiated talking point.

  I’ve replaced breakers with nails in my house, and nothing happened!

    Cool story, so how many years have to go by before you'll admit to being wrong?

  Twitter had local outages in Australia, New Zealand and a global outage like a week ago? People seem to forgot that we currently set-up data-centers to be very redundant and sort of self-healing. But if I read somewhere correctly Elon Musk also gave orders to start shutting down all redundant data-centers.
