Twitter employees go 'absolutely insane' in meltdown over Elon Musk's purchase: 'I feel like im going to throw up'. Kekkity!

CHRIS ENLOE

April 26, 2022

 

Many Twitter employees reportedly went "absolutely insane" on Monday after Elon Musk's acquisition of the social media platform was finalized.

 

What happened?

 

Immediately after the $44 billion purchase was announced, Twitter employees began voicing outrage and shock in private chat rooms. A New York Times reporter described internal communication channels as "absolutely insane."

 

"I feel like im going to throw up..I [really] don’t wanna work for a company that is owned by Elon Musk," one Twitter employee told a New York Times reporter.

 

"I don’t [really] know what I’m supposed to do…oh my god, my phone’s been blowing up," that employee continued. "I feel like he’s this petulant little boy and that he’s doing this to troll…he doesn’t know anything about our policies and what we do…his statement about our [algorithm] was f***ing insane… Were just gonna let everyone run amok?…nobody knows."

 

Its \u201cabsolutely insane\u201d @ Twitter right now in the virtual valves of private slack rooms & employee group texts, according to an internal source. Their take/breakdown just now:\n\u201cI feel like im going to throw up..I rly don\u2019t wanna work for a company that is owned by Elon Musk\u201d\u20261/

Another employee wrote in a since-deleted tweet that they were "in need of a stiff drink."

 

Don't miss out on content from Dave Rubin free of big tech censorship. Listen to The Rubin Report now.

The Daily Beast reported that another Twitter employee wrote on Blind, an anonymous social media platform, that "Musk is dishonest, clueless and mentally ill." One employee even bashed fellow employees who support Musk, saying, "Elon fan boys are braindead mouth breathers."

 

Company leaders held an all-staff meeting with employees Monday afternoon. A chief concern among them was Musk's promise to transform Twitter into a platform that embraces free speech.

 

According to the Washington Post, employees are worried Musk will break down the "safeguards" Twitter has implemented "to protect" its users from content that Twitter deems is "harmful" or "unsafe" or misinformation.Other employees are worried about their permanent work-from-home situation, while others expressed concern about their company stock and whether layoffs are in the future, the New York Times reported.

 

However, some Twitter employees also expressed optimism about the future of their workplace.

 

"Elon did not tie up 20 percent of his net worth to destroy Twitter," one employee told the Washington Post. "I personally think a change like this may be what Twitter needs."

 

"In principle, I don't believe anyone should own or run Twitter," he reacted. "It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness."

 

Anything else?

 

Despite the weeping and gnashing of teeth by some employees, Musk has not announced any changes to Twitter.

 

Instead, Musk released a statement after his purchase expressing desire to improve Twitter — not destroy it.

 

"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," Musk said.

 

"I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential — I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it," he added.

 

Meanwhile, Twitter locked out employees from making changes to Twitter's source code, preventing angry employees from sabotaging the platform, Bloomberg reported.

Hysterical, award winning journalism. He said it with a straight face too. I wonder of recent Durham filings convinced them to take such a “drastic step?”

Barr and Durham Agreed on something major, this will be coming up

 

Remember when Horowitz released his report on the FBI opening and handling of Crossfire Hurricane? And his ultimate conclusion was the FBI was justified in opening up the investigation. And remember the response from Durham and Barr?

Durham rejects ‘some conclusions’ of Horowitz report

 

Connecticut Mirror Article

 

“In a report released Monday, Horowitz rebutted accusations by President Donald Trump and his allies that the FBI investigation, and a subsequent probe by Mueller were improperly initiated. He also debunked charges the FBI was motivated by political bias and had illegally spied on Trump advisers”.

 

The IG’s report said “we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the decisions to open the four individual investigations” into George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Michael Flynn, and Paul Manafort, four former Trump campaign aides.

 

“I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff,”Durham saidin a statement.

 

“However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S.”

 

The IG’s report said “we did not find documentary or testimonial evidencethat political bias or improper motivation influenced the decisions to open the four individual investigations” into George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Michael Flynn, and Paul Manafort, four former Trump campaign aides.

 

Durham had an immediate reaction to Horowitz’s 434-page report.

 

Durham said that, based on the evidence his team has “collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing,” he told Horowitz last month “that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”

 

Barr seized on these criticisms to insist “the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions, that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken.”

 

“It is also clear that, from its inceptionthe evidence produced by the investigation was ‘consistently exculpatory’” Barr said.

 

https://ctmirror.org/2019/12/09/durham-rejects-some-conclusions-of-horowitz-report/

 

Well anons, that means FBI broke the lawand many of those FBI in leadership know they be proper fucked, and will be charged by Durham. There’s no other way to read Durham and Barr’s statements.

 

Remember Horowitz only investigates and interviews and comes to a conclusion only based on what he was shown and told, and many times he won’t know many facts. And the IG has no prosecutorial authority.

 

Only the DOJ can prosecute and the two top Cops at the DOJ says the FBI leadership committed crimes. And the DOJ doesnt base its investigation on heresay (which the IG gets) they base it on real evidence.

 

Looking forward to the happy events where Strzock, McCAbe etc get their smug grins smacked off their faces.

 

PS: Baker is a cooperating witness for Durham,when Q said “we have it all”, its so freakin true.

Here's How Elon Musk's Free-Speech Gambit Can Succeed

1 of 2

It’s been a wild week for free speech; or free-speech-control, at least. That’s because while most Americans don’t care about Twitter, our society’s broader social media habits (and their frequent exaggerations) means that control of it still matters a great deal.

 

How? Aside from its fun and investigative uses, Twitter is where much of corporate media messaging is crafted and honed; where thoughts and ideas that deviate from the ruling class are suppressed; and where left-wing cancel mobs are empowered, and thereby able to lead America’s business and political elites along by the nose.

 

The coming days, weeks and months will give a clearer idea of what’s coming, but far from spectators, we are all players in the drama. While all eyes are on Elon Musk, Twitter’s employees, the federal government, and the American entrepreneur all have a role to play.

 

Let’s start with Musk.

 

Elon Musk

 

While Musk’s generally pro-Bill of Rights, anti-censorship, and anti-technocrat musings have gone on for some time, his Monday announcement gave the clearest sign yet of good things to come. After restating his commitment to holding his now-private company to the Bill of Rights, the Tesla billionaire proposed a number of policy changes, including “defeating the spam bots… authenticating all humans,” and “making the algorithms open source to increase trust.”

 

The first two are important steps: If successful, these changes will make the service far more usable, tame bot-driven mobs, and finally and permanently deflate the censors’ favorite “Russian bots” bogeyman (as well as future bot-boogeymen to come).

 

Publicizing algorithms, however, is essential. Silicon Valley’s algorithms have achieved near-mythic status within the censorship regime, catching fact and fiction, journalists and politicians, Christians and activists, scientists and concerned parents alike in their nets.

 

The ensuing censorship, observers note, leans heavily toward viewpoints that dissent from the left-wing narrative, but each time a censorship decision turns out to be indefensible, the blame is placed on “the algorithm” — with zero insight or accountability offered.

 

The result: A censorship bureau where the means, methods, culprits, and officers are all protected from public scrutiny. Musk wants to change this. If he does, he’ll expose other companies’ algorithm excuses as the lies they are — and drive a stake into the beating heart of regime suppression.

 

What he can accomplish, however, will depend on how much time he can commit, who he puts in charge of daily operations, and who he fires. The obvious fact is the man has commitments elsewhere. His time is currently split between SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Company, and Tesla, which lacks a COO while it’s fighting well-funded marketplace competition.

 

Markets go up and markets go down, but if Monday’s .7 percent drop in Tesla’s stock means anything, some investors are spooked. (The electric car company is now down 7 percent since the year began.)

 

True, the richest man in the world has thus far impressed (and thus far, gone undefeated), but the Twitter fight poses a real challenge. Far from welcoming their new owner, employee meltdowns have made headlines since Musk announced his initial stake in the company.

 

Based on what we’ve seen, he can’t rely on unsupervised cooperation with his plans. That makes the person he chooses to execute his vision all the more essential.

 

The Employees

 

While too many American companies cave to activist employees’ choruses of execration — and threats of mass resignation — Musk shows zero sign of following suit. On the contrary, their immolations will serve as a signing bonus, removing the most fanatical opponents of his vision for the company’s future.

 

Given the seemingly staff-wide meltdown, however, he’ll need more than this in a manager; and former CEO Jack Dorsey — who seems pleased with the buyout and is rumored to be returning — is unlikely to cut it.

 

Although Dorsey is more pro-speech than the current CEO (and is a friend of Musk), he’s proven himself a weak manager, who will struggle greatly to rein in the company he founded. Musk’s plans are going to take both serious hiring and serious firings, and few believe Dorsey has what it will take to return freedom of expression to Twitter.

 

As presidents from Adams through Trump have learned, personnel is policy: Weak generals will fail, no matter their devotion; and bad actors will smile in your face, and work to undermine your goals when you turn away. Musk is certainly aware of this, but given the demands on his attention, his top hires will make or break his plans.

 

His employees, however, are not the only force interested in derailing free-speech Twitter….

Here's How Elon Musk's Free-Speech Gambit Can Succeed

The Government

 

Shortly after learning they were losing a reliable censorship partner through Musk’s acquisition of Twitter,the White House repeated its interest in regulating Silicon Valley in order to police “misinformation.”

 

While it’s hard to say where bipartisan efforts to rein in Silicon Valley will ultimately go, it’s easy to see how essential Twitter has made itself to the White House and its friends. From promoting helpful content to suppressing damaging content, Big Tech has done its best to apologize for its part in the election of President Donald Trump (and make sure nothing like it happens again).

 

While the sale seems to be moving along despite the skeptical murmurings of most observers, it’s still important to measure any optimism. The Federal Trade Commission, for example, will have a say; and while it takes a serious feat of logic to understand how owning a rocket company, an electric car company, and a free speech company represents a threat to competition, the threat that Musk freeing Twitter poses to the regime might prove too tempting a motivation to let pass.

 

It’s wild to see, either way: the ruling class reaction to a billionaire they don’t like dethroning a billionaire they do. But while it can be disheartening to so plainly see just how oligarchic the United States has become, it’s crucial to remember that we still have a role: The billionaires won’t solve our problems on their own.

 

The American Entrepreneur

 

Elon Musk appears poised to do the American people a great service, but the reality is Elon Musk isn’t going to save us. The reason: While Twitter is a powerful tool for our ruling class — and an important battle to wage — it’s just one of many fights, even on the tech front.

 

Consider the following, for example: Twitter runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS is the cloud company that would-be Twitter competitor Parler ran on too — before AWS cut Parler off from its servers on completely false pretenses, virtually destroying the company at the moment of its most meteoric growth.

 

Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, is a fierce critic of Musk, and on Monday, AWS’s “head of community engagement” tweeted an offer to those Twitter employees who refused to work for a pro-First Amendment company: “We’re hiring.”

 

Each battle, you see, leads to the next. Social media censorship is just that part of the iceberg visible to passing ships. Beneath the surface, the left is threatening access to banks, loans, servers, investment, search and email services, office and payroll management — the list goes on.

 

Fighting this will take smart ideas, hard work, and an entrepreneur’s will to resist incredible pressure on every aspect of his life. But if those who can help don’t work to get our own house in order, we’re just trading one oligarch for a smarter, more freedom-interested one. More than that, we won’t win.

 

It’s great to have the richest man in the world on the side of freedom. We need the help; but the cause of freedom needs us too.
