"This tweet is unavailable"; what'd it used to be?
Also, shouldn't the no-longer-available widget say "This X is unavailable"? They seem kind of hit-and-miss on their rebranding. Mostly miss.

Plus the blue bird icon is still there. Shouldn't it be upside down with an arrow through it?

Is this slogan like a 420/weed thing?

Absolutely is and I’m sure he was stoned when making this decision… sounds like such a stoner thing to say. .

LOL did they already have to take down that ridiculous "X" sign? It sounds like they didn't get the proper permits and/or it doesn't follow local law about putting up extremely bright flashing strobe lights outside people's windows.

This "fight" between Zuckerberg and Musk is still theoretically going to happen. (I would put $1 that it does NOT happen, fwiw; it's just too stupid and risky of an idea to actually go through with it.). Zuckerberg has said he's ready to fight whenever, and Musk has demurred and said he needs an MRI and possible neck/back surgery. I don't think he's likely to go through with it. Not that he should; it's risky and boorish and moronic.

Zuckerberg is trained at fighting and if buff. Musk is tall…

Musk would get his ass handed to him. Therefore, I think they should do it.

This tracks. Elon uses his new CEO as a figurehead; she seems completely out of all major decisions.

Nice of him to say that about the CEO of his company. I'm sure it makes her feel really good inside.

so it will be zero surprise when she announces her resignation... he's such a tool.

I'm sure she's pissed. But you don't really resign from a huge CEO job like that, even if it sucks. You just hold tight and wait for the golden parachute.

If I were her, I'd start doing absolutely nothing.

I read this in a daily newsletter I get this morning. This must be what Musk was responding to with his ego build up of his CEO:
Quote: “Elon works on the technology and dreams up what’s next. I bring it to market.”
In her first TV interview as X CEO, Linda Yaccarino stressed to CNBC that she has autonomy from owner Elon Musk who, despite stepping down as chief executive, still appears at times to be running the ship. Yaccarino also said that the social media company was pretty close to breaking even, advertisers including Coca-Cola and State Farm had returned, and, after gutting its workforce, X is back in hiring mode.

Musk says Twitter is going to remove its "block" feature. But lots of folks on there are saying that they have to have a block feature to be on the Apple App Store? So probably they'll walk this back?

The New Yorker has a lengthy article about Elon Musk and how the US Government has come to be reliant on him and his companies, particularly SpaceX. I found it interesting.
