Twitter is where Elon Musk was mocked and humiliated by people he wanted to impress. Twitter is what ruined his reputation permanently. So he bought it, destroyed it and he is now working to create a safe, cozy space for all the white supremacists who adore him.

In a reversal, Twitter lets users like, retweet, and reply to tweets with Substack links, but searches with “Substack” still just give results for “newsletter”

Elon Musk apologizes after mocking laid-off disabled Twitter employee Haraldur Thorleifsson, who joined in 2021 after Twitter acquired his startup Ueno

Also, every one of these Twitter announcements is poorly written. I did public affairs for a living and can tell when something is amiss with a press release. My bet is that Elon is the final editor and he takes an active role. https://twitter.com/...
