#92I need everyone to think very carefully about the attack surface, and how long it has been left unprotected, and how long it will be unprotected.
Now, I need you to consider the following proposition: that eyeballs are to codebases, dashboards and telemetry as floss is to tooth and gum.
Then, I need you to go to your phone and uninstall Twitter.
Also, when you do visit it, visit it in Firefox.
Use a Firefox Container.

#93Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think the goal was to destroy the company. Twitter has become such a cesspool and liability for a lot of important people and governments. Bring in someone like Elon Musk to blow it up in spectacular fashion.
Spouting off conspiracy theories aren't evidence of anything. Occam's razor would suggest he's more likely to be an arrogant, incompetent manager who's had a few successes here and there but is ultimately out-of-touch with reality and triumphally operating well outside his limited experience.
A few successes here and there lol...the arrogance of your statement is hilarious.

#94The next outage will have a good likelihood of being the last outage.
Yeah. Multiple entire teams that run critical systems have reportedly left.
It’s over. Dead site running. Such a horrible loss.
Glad the stockholders are happy. This was clearly better than the lawsuit. /s

#95This will be an interesting experiment in large scale code rot. How long do you think twitter.com will work with the code base frozen?
The TLS cert expires on December 12.

#97I hope that the wheels stay on sufficiently to get an idea of where EM wants to take Twitter and find out what kind of value it can bring. Having said that, he really made it obvious to me as an eng that the severance is the option I would be taking. Going "hardcore" on things can be fun, at the right time in your life, for the right reasons, with the right people. But somebody who takes over the company and accrues…
> where EM wants to take Twitter based on his actions to date, the only explanation I can think of is he wants to destroy it
I think he's just flailing about, nothing much beyond that. Triumphing with a popular platform and revenue would absolutely be his hope, but he's making rushed, questionable decisions that bring compounding issues. From the start, muddying the existing blue check with the idea of a paid tier seems bizarre and unnecessary.

#99How will Musk's failure at Twitter affect market confidence in his other ventures?
Not that this is at all significant, but these past few months of Twitter charades have erased any appetite for one day buying a Tesla, or any other Musk owned products. Luckily almost every automaker is coming out with their own EVs in the next couple years, so the market should be pretty competitive(in some ways it already is).
Same here. I'll never buy a Tesla now, whereas before I might have.

If I'm giving Elon the benefit of the doubt, A. he's intelligent B. He has 20+ years of corporate experience running companies, I would assume that there was some method to this madness. If I had to guess, he came in with the assumption that forces in the company would be hostile to him based on their beliefs. In order to weed those forces out, he engineered some of this madness to shake those people out. Unfortunately it seems like it may be backfiring.
