Any infosec professional will tell you the greatest threat to security is speed. The fact Elon is pressuring Twitter engineers to roll out his new verification system in 10 days, to meet his day before the election deadline—under threat of firing— is about as bad as this gets.

I can admit when I'm wrong and I was wrong about @elonmusk.

No one was more skeptical than I - but his decisions this week have shown he really *can* put a social network on the path to unprecedented success.

Specifically Mastodon.

Republicans don’t care about twitter being a free speech platform or whatever. They just want to wreck it because people they don’t like enjoy it.

bro you forgot to take ownership of the part where you caused immense avoidable human suffering by heralding a bloviating, incompetent, right wing billionaire narcissist as the solution to a problem that required humility, competence, and gracehttps://t.co/iPywMdMGQ9

We're more than 6 years into this, how can they still not understand who they got into bed with? pic.twitter.com/Q0hCKHEQwq

Twitter right now is like a nightclub where they've turned the music off and the lights on because it's 4am and the party is over - some people are still pretending, but the vibe is dead...

Criticism sometimes looks like "I don't want me or my money anywhere around you." https://t.co/fACRZThdgl

You’re going to shame companies into advertising on a platform whose direction is suddenly completely up in the air, which just lost half its staff, and much of whose consumer base now has one foot out the door? I guess you can try https://t.co/adI4fxqpNE

Hi @ElonMusk, now that Twitter doesn't have an accessibility team, where should I send accessibility related requests and reports?

The dick riding on here is obscene. Correct, I don’t want to pay $8 a month and you’re absolutely right, I could write all that off. See, I don’t like Elon Musk, I think he’s a fucking bellend. I don’t wish to put any money in his pocket. I want Twitter and his 44Bil to burn ❤️ https://t.co/1IBM6zweny

Look, I'll take it.

It'd be better for people to just not be antisemitic to begin with. But "antisemitic, faced consequences, apologized (sincere or not)" still supports the broader goal of reducing the amount of antisemitism in the country. https://t.co/rKHj6UVrIZ

Sure boss. Totally. We don't doubt that for a second.

We're not at all viewing you as coming at this with a biased perspective given your constant need to play footsie with fringe right wing players.

Man, isn't that annoying how no one believes you? https://t.co/6AXSwJwIby

Twitter’s days are numbered. That’s the only realistic conclusion you can draw from this seeming confirmation that he personally (and surreptitiously) disrupted an elected-official’s account. https://t.co/IqDHA87rhM

“Leftist corporations” is something you say when you’re all out of boogeymen and you lack the knowledge or political talent to offer your own solutions.

Corporations are not tools of the left. They are tools of capitalism. If you hate corporations, you hate capitalism.

The new leadership is just so astoundingly, embarrassingly incompetent. I expected a mess, but this is way, way beyond what I expected. https://t.co/86aoLnH1q6

Heckuva job, Muskie. You rat bastard son of a mining ditch. https://t.co/YD5I7ywLav

Soundly defeated in as many elections as it takes to convince them to remove the anti-democratic and pro-autocratic elements from their ranks https://t.co/LsUpDrzM9b

You got it boss. Companies choosing to voluntarily boycott a company = free market.

Any more questions? https://t.co/Dar1Jez9kq

I’m at least 1000% more addicted to twitter right now because at some point that dude is gonna unplug all the servers in an epic rage fit and I don’t want to miss the apocalypse

— Linda Tirado (@KillerMartinis) November 4, 2022

I don't want to read any more hot takes about how "actually, Musk might turn this around." Firing the entire #a11y team is one of the most indefensible, retrograde, discriminatory, unethical, immoral, and vile things the leader of a tech company can do. https://t.co/hUziPry8nL
