It must be pretty frustrating for employees to watch Mr Bossman lose the company $75 million because he just couldn’t stay away from antisemitic tweets, when any of them would probably be fired for EITHER a $500k mistake OR a hate tweet.

I guess hate speech really was Elon’s endgame all along. Being antisemitic on Twitter, with impunity, is the whole reason he bought it. The big idea.

I can’t imagine having such a petty, small dream.

Wonder what that guy's up to these days

He is also the Ice King in Adventure Time. He last worked on a spinoff series called Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake.

Is that good? I've been thinking about checking it out. I liked the original series.

[-] IllNess@infosec.pub 1 points 7 months ago

Can't say. I haven't checked it out yet.

Patchy is Tom Kenny

Tom Kenny is SpongeBobs voice, as well as checks notes nearly every iconic game/animated character from late 90s through the 00s

Probably later but I was an adult by the mid 10s and thus fell out a bit with that knowledge

I think that figure is supposed to be since the Gaza war started (i.e. since October 7), not year-to-date.

It'd be a lot better if they would close their accounts on the platform entirely. Anyone still on the platform is fine sharing a room with literal Nazis.

closing the account frees up the handle for trolls/scammers to use. So just not using it is a better way to do it

If a company pauses activity permanently, and musk opens up the handle as his latest tantrum, could the company sue for damages?

Or is the best call to just say "pausing temporarily" and have it be permanent in practice

I don’t have Xwitter, so I can’t check, but has Apple stopped posting?

Its the dumbest thing. Like, say for a second they're correct and the Jewish people really rule the world: how are you gonna succeed if you're fucking with them?

Something something enemy is both weak and strong something or other -_-
