A WGA member who had a show on Netflix detailed on Twitter the way Netflix told him to get around paying for writers. (basically pay them as day laborers not as staff writers) They want to completely eliminate writers rooms and just have one guy either write all the scripts or have people come in for a day, help "rewrite" whats done (outlines) and then send them on their way.

Get used to the strikes cause this going to last a while.
 
That's smart, because any attention and traffic Twitter is still getting now is totally based on what it has become and not what it once was.
 
If we all wanted to help Musk bankrupt himself, how could we?

I have no doubt he is so hapless he has no ability to protect his fortune, even by the usual methods of billionaire predators. We are dealing with a moron, here. So, how do we do it most quickly?

Have you sent him a letter saying that he's the winner of the Nigerian Lottery and you need a small sum of money to collect his winnings for him?

At this point if you're a twitter shareholder you're asking yourself if Musk bought it just to destroy it. This logo change is one of the dumber logo changes in history.

It's following right in line with speculation of why he was interested in it in the first place. His CEO Tweeted out that the brand formerly known as Twitter will be:
X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.

Musk didn't buy Twitter for "free speech" or whatever garbage he spouted at the time.

He bought it because it came with a user base of 450 Million active accounts he can tap into and use how he wants versus growing a network organically.

You want an Uber from a driverless Tesla and pay with Dogecoin? Pull up your [formerly Twitter] app.

Also a sure fire way to launder money if you can just put cash into a virtual currency machine and have it appear in your digital wallet. No banks, and no tracing unless the Feds come hard for the entire app.

... while he's calling for a pause on AI.



I'm going to disagree, a bit, with aparch. He bought twitter because he had an extended case of The Stupids and then was forced to hold to it once he came to his senses. Now he's trying to to shoehorn Twitter into his galaxy-brained "everything website/app" idea that he's had for 25-30 years.


Ask Meta how the "Everything app" has worked so far. The world doesn't want it (yet).
 
You know what I want? Less apps and more battery storage. Less Fossil Fuels and more renewable energy. Less plastic waste, and more uses for the plastic waste that already exists. Sick and tired of everything going into more BS that doesn't do anything for humanity. No one gives a shit about your app.
