Elon Fires Half of X's Election Integrity Team, Because a Manager Liked a Tweet

Does anyone else feel as though Twitter-now-X has somehow gone, in recent times, from being a questionable but tolerable hotspot of widely used, observable human interaction, to becoming a tacitly hostile, alienating door-closed-in-your-face non-entity?

I was never an active user of the thing, but at least I interacted with the site - via links, etc - on a regular, if minor, basis. It was a Thing, it had (for better or worse) global influence, and even a form of purpose, in the name of fast, ubiquitous human intercommunication of news and such.

Now, it's like the whole thing just doesn't even exist anymore. Or barely. Swathes of its purpose (such as it was), brand, and presence have just been ... wiped out. The only news on X that seems to make it to the mainstream any more, is news about X - such as this very topic.

It is difficult to fathom.

Surely Elon would enjoy his life more had he never become involved with the whole thing.

I feel for Linda Yaccarino.

I dunno what kind of agency she was promised as CEO, but she's not getting it.

What does it say about our world when Musk can buy Twitter just because he wanted a new toy; and then the whole world watches as he demonstrates through his toy-play that he possesses the emotional age of 12 year old.

And the trigger for all of this Elon madness was his son coming out as trans.

"Free Speech Absolutist"

I feel like maybe this is a consequence of fatherlessness? Just guessing, since my dad's the one that taught me not to publicly ridicule my boss. People take different paths though, so no telling.

As always, it is the people who go on a lot about sensitive snowflakes who are the most sensitive of snowflakes.
