@mtsw Super easy way to cut down on the "Twitter saw X% increase in hate speech" or "Twitter saw X% decline in user activity" stories that currently dominate media coverage of the platform.

@atomicpoet Isn't Cloudflare already used as a remote proxy and CDN for a huge percentage of Mastodon instances?

@adamjcook @anthony@journa.host And just like with the FSD Beta, he's lying to investors and the public about the actual state of product development.

@seldo The people creating those are excitedly bragging about it on Twitter too. They don't care about how bad it is for society and our public discourse.

Haraldur "Halli" Þorleifsson is the employee Elon is currently making fun of on Twitter. He has muscular dystrophy.He's won multiple Person of the Year awards from Icelandic media outlets for his efforts to build wheelchair ramps across the country and his charitable givings during the holidays.When his design firm Ueno was acquired by Twitter in 2021, he opted to be paid the sale price through wages rather than receiving stock that would be taxed at the much lower capital gains tax rate.His employment contract wasn't that of a typical employee, nor is his termination. Twitter now owes him the entirety of his outstanding sale payment.https://www.icelandreview.com/news/haraldur-thorleifsson-sweeps-person-of-the-year-awards/#Twitter #ElonMusk #Musk #HaraldurÞorleifsson #Þorleifsson #Halli #Iceland #Tech #Ueno #Employment #Contracts #Ableism #Discrimination

Elon clearly also doesn't know what Figma is and thinks it's some variation of the "ligma" joke.

@mmasnick I like how he found a random small account (paying for Twitter Blue of course) to be the voice of reason for him. Really speaks volumes about the people he's surrounded himself with...

Without getting too conspiratorial, I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the CEO and CFO of SVB Financial Group sold over $4.1M in stock last week.Source: https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=SIVB&p=d#SVB #SiliconValleyBank #SiliconValley #Finance #Bank #Investing #Stocks

It's entirely possible this was all above-the-board and could have been a pre-scheduled action (no idea how to check that).It's just a terrible look to have the company fail just over a week later, especially when you're desperately trying to raise funds.

Florida health officials removed key data from controversial COVID-19 vaccine report. Drafts obtained by the Tampa Bay Times show contradictory data was intentionally excluded from the report to push anti-vaccination narrative.https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2023/04/07/florida-surgeon-general-covid-19-vaccine-study-heart-problems-men/#Florida #COVID19 #Vaccine #Misinformation
