At this point, Elon's purchase and seemingly-intentional brand-suicide looks more and more like a political favor. I mean, yes, if we shave this with Hanlon's Razor, the outcome is the same, but the rightward swing of Elon's public statements certainly makes this look more like quid-pro-quo than an oopsie.

I can't get over how Twitter's legal team doesn't show up on time for a court appointment. As a founder, I'm certain they're still billing for the time.

I am not a fan of Musk or Twitter, but can you substantiate this? I'm about 1/10th of the way through the transcript and I haven't come to this conclusion yet.

If it were any other man I'd be considering your conspiracy theory but Musk has become so completely unhinged that imho Hanlon's Razor wins. The man has a terminal case of internet poisoning.
What happened to Musk reminds me of what happened to Chris Chan ( https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/CwcvilleGuardian ): internet trolls seemingly broke his mind. I believe that there will one day be a name for this syndrome, wherein a person who is the victim of prolonged internet trolling begins catering to the trolls with increasingly outlandish behavior, with their mind / beliefs warping into a shape that pleases th…

I just think it will realistically take Twitter more than two weeks to come up with this data. Seems like a long time but my experience at companies of 1,000+ is that things move very slow.
Twitter seemed to think they could. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.39... Page 8: > Nonetheless, the district court gave Twitter an opportunity to purge its contempt by producing the account information. When the court asked Twitter's counsel whether the company could produce the required materials by 5:00 p.m. that evening, counsel answered: "I believe we are prepared to do that. Yes, Your…

I've been noticing odd behaviors in some public figures that make me believe instead of them 'preaching to the choir' - their 'choir' is convincing them a weird direction is a good idea.
I think this is exasperated by the bubbles of social media - I would love to be able to see what social media posts certain people have seen over the past 5 years or so - like individually, say if I could study every post that rob de niro actually saw in the past so many years.
I feel we need new terminology to describe the kind of warping of the mind and outward behavior changes these things can bring -
or is there some old descriptors I can't think of?

Political favor for who?
It's a little bit outlandish, but the most plausible theory I've heard is the Saudis were happy to spend the cash[1] to try to hinder future Arab Spring style events, which were organized largely on Twitter. US banks have a similar motive, it's not hard to draw the line that they would see disrupting low-level leftist activist communication networks on Twitter as valuable. Under that theory, Musk isn't so much doing…

Pretty expensive favor.

Easy-peasy, just open the last 6 years of twitter access logs in Excel and ctrl-F for Donny's ip/device identifier!
Do you really think they don't have some sort of system to index data like device identifiers for quick searching? https://help.twitter.com/en/about-personalization-across-you... > By better understanding how different browsers and devices are related, we can use information from one browser or device to help personalize the Twitter experience on another.

The non-disclosure order by the courts for this warrant was issued to Twitter on January 17th for six months; the day it expired, Reddit suddenly decided to purge all chat history prior to 2023: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36782915
