Entirely different reason to head for the exits. Has any social media thing gone bankrupt and returned?

I’m almost willing to pay $8 and bluecheck myself to help this survive long enough to at least die honorably of culture war rather than bankruptcy. In the grand tradition of lords bailing out emperors in debt.
Someone want to whip up a Magna Carta at $8/lord?

5/ This means that instead of heading into 2023 with 15-20% of 2023 already secured as they typically would have, Twitter heads into next year with almost none of that. All because of Musk's red pilled edgelord approach.

Can people be tried for digital arson? This was such a nice digital national park just a few months ago. 😡

One of the most annoying things about this is how completely SV senior leadership has circled wagons around this with tiresome doer-builder-haters derp. Because apparently getting back at evil journalists is that important, and validating Big Man theology comes first.

I’d like to see a few senior SV leaders break ranks and dissent here.
This is poor leadership. Non-existent due diligence. Negligent handling of goodwill capital. Uncritical cronyism. Careless investing. Kool-aid. Tribal vendettas.
Everything old economy gets accused of.

For the first time, it feels like crypto is the sober and boring side of the house and trad SV is high on something
At least crypto failures tend to be bugs, hackers, and people making costly math errors.

From ad tweep who knows: The drop off is mostly self inflicted. First: The CRO [@SEP] walked out Friday. She's trusted by the marketing community. So, Elon goes to meet agency heads in NY. The Twitter exec who runs the US walked him in and is a trusted partner at these agencies.

The one part I never understood was him suddenly giving up the legal fight to back out of the deal. Even if it was a long shot it would have been worth the time and money to… not do this. The trigger seemed to be discovery demands for more dms/texts. It’s like trump’s taxes.

At this point I’m not even going to pretend to read/tweet anything else on twitter besides twritter-twitter black hole physics. If you want my tweets on other topics they’re casts on farcaster. Go find me there. Until further notice I’m only here for the Musk show.

Musk claims to be keeping an enemies list, which he plans to use to call for a “thermonuclear” counter-boycott, yes: (hat tip to @theonlycsbv)

Maybe we can start a campaign to get musk to make the CEO. At this point he’s the only one who can land this thing safely.

I still think this is fundamentally a sound business. Maybe it can’t be FAANG scale for some deep reason, but there’s got to be a way it can be sustainable at around the current level 🤔

This app is actually worth fighting for unlike most. Nobody would care if Facebook or LinkedIn crumbled.
