I feel kinda bad about how much I'm enjoying twitter this week, all the brand and politician parody accounts absolutely owning has had me laughing so much. I hope the Twitter people who told him these were bad ideas are enjoying well deserved "I told you so" moments

The Eli Lilly thing is a great example of one end of the spectrum of mischief in Elon’s brave new world. Here’s one on the other end:

A tweet from a “verified” US gov’t account, @STRATC0M for instance, announcing an attack against North Korea.

Pulling Twitter From POSSE Links (randomgeekery.org)

Lots of Elon Musk madness going on at Twitter. From a Platformer summary of the last day or two. …as Platformer was first to report, its chief privacy officer, Damien Kieran; its chief information security officer; Lea Kissner; and its chief compliance officer, Marianne Fogarty, had all resigned…So did John Debay, director of software engineering…much of the security governance risks and compliance team has left… This is on top of all the folks Musk fired or who have resigned in the week since he took over.
