Back when he acquired twitter he fire 2/3rds the company.

I think the interesting "what happened" is about the consequences - has there been some objective drop in uptime/performance/errors or some other technical metric?

  Yes actually. And one massive security breach.

    Could you be more specific?

    Even before he acquired the company they had security issues. Someone even managed to tweet from his account with a BTC scam.

No, what is the consequence, how has quality of Twitter diminished? As a “normal” user I can not observe any degradation of Twitter service.

  Sure, but I feel like this was because of feature creep more than anything else. Most common thing people use it for is posting and reading. If you fake feeds as if they are real-time then the viewer will never know there was a system outage. I am almost positive there was a massive security breach too.

    > I am almost positive there was a massive security breach too. That's a very serious allegation, as it would be illegal to not report it. Can you add some details?

  Very famously he had Ron DeSantos on to announce his presidential campaign, but his website didn't work at all.

  Experiences vary wildly between and IP addresses and browser profiles. The variance increased drastically post-takeover.

@falcor84 We hit maximum reply lengths but yes there has been. And a massive security breach.

  Which security breach are you referring to? I'm not aware of any major ones that have happened since the acquisition, but this one seems to be the one people point to even though it happened prior. https://privacy.twitter.com/en/blog/2023/update-about-an-alleged-incident-regarding-twitter-user-data-being-sold-online https://privacy.twitter.com/en/blog/2023/update-about-an-all...
