A simple and short lived glitch does not a #3 make. Twitter is better than ever now. Elon did good.

We're just pretending it doesn't now take the better part of 10 seconds for twitter.com to load now? That response times have gotten perceivably, measurably worse over the last few months? Or that these glitches aren't now a weekly occurrence?

I don't use it anymore but the odd time a friend will send me a link to it, and it is horrifically slow. I wonder if anyone will write about this time at twitter in a few years. Would be a case study in how to decimate a websites popularity and what not to do to avoid that.

Apparently there is literally a 5 second pause on load in the javascript.

"Meet the new Boss, same as the old Boss" -- and that's a slam on Elon who promised a ton of things like open sourcing the algorithm, etc. All I get now is a bunch of right-wing weirdo crap in my feed that I didn't subscribe to or ask for.

And this thing he was complaining about back in May, he completely f'd it up post-purchase:

This is one of several different glitches and downtime seen this year.

A revenue collapse of 40% with a surge in fake verified profiles does not make Twitter better than ever. It is crazy to see a sudden sharp 40% revenue decline being described as better than ever.

While I've no trouble believing revenue dropped, where are we getting this 40 percent number and surge in fake verified profiles data from? With Twitter now in private ownership, Musk doesn't need to disclose real data and to best of my knowledge hasn't really.

Why?
