Twitter Libs Panic as Hurricane Musk Looms

Chief Twit reporting for duty

Months ago I quit trying to figure out what’s going on in the case of Musk v Twitter. First he was buying it, then he wasn’t buying it, then they were trying to stop him, then they were trying to force him… ay-yi-yi. But it sounds like this time he really is purchasing the bird app.

And his first official act as the new boss is to make a dad joke:

Elon Musk @elonmusk

Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!

Let that sink in. Get it? Not let that sink in, but let that sink in. Do you get the joke?

Musk also updated his bio and location:

Elon is Twitter’s new stepdad, and he wants to make it fun. Hope he’s ready for all those surly teens rolling their eyes at him.

Like this one:

This is “a day in the life of a Twitter employee.” No wonder @elonmusk is firing 75% of them

I watched that whole thing three times, and I couldn’t spot any actual work being done. But then, the users create all the content on Twitter, so the employees can just pour a glass of pinot and loll around the rooftop day spa.

These kids need to watch Office Space sometime: “What would you say… ya do here?”

Laying off 75% of Twitter’s workforce sounds like a good first day for Musk. And now, Twitter employees like this one are panicking:

Hey @elonmusk thanks for visiting @TwitterSF. Hope you enjoyed your coffee at The Perch! Just one question: was it fun to look at the faces of the people you said you'd be laying off?

I mean… how could it not be? You work at Twitter. You get paid to ban people for saying chromosomes exist, Hunter Biden’s laptop is real, and maybe not all vaccines are 100% perfect. Everybody hates you. Pack up your desk.
