The great Twitter cleaning has begun

[Murph]

I love that the lawsuits are going to come, and perhaps bankrupt the lefties, commies, libtards, and demon-rats.

Let us see lawyers getting rich suing the Libtards.

In the new biography Elon Musk, written by Walter Isaacson, Elon Musk revealed that he and Grimes have had a third child. Named Techno Mechanicus, or Tau for short, their new child’s existence was kept private until now. Musk and Grimes similarly waited months to announce their second child, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, in 2022. Their first child, X Æ A-12, or X, was born in 2020.

"The main account of left-wing daily Aftonbladet stops using Twitter "not seeing any benefits." Other Swedish media, such as state radio, have already quit Twitter in protest against Elon Musk's easing of political censorship."

FREMONT, Calif. – Electric car maker Tesla, Inc., violated federal law by tolerating widespread and ongoing racial harassment of its Black employees and by subjecting some of these workers to retaliation for opposing the harassment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.

According to the EEOC’s suit, since at least 2015 to the present, Black employees at Tesla’s Fremont, California manufacturing facilities have routinely endured racial abuse, pervasive stereotyping, and hostility as well as epithets such as variations of the N-word, “monkey,” “boy,” and “black b*tch.” Slurs were used casually and openly in high-traffic areas and at worker hubs. Black employees regularly encountered graffiti, including variations of the N-word, swastikas, threats, and nooses, on desks and other equipment, in bathroom stalls, within elevators, and even on new vehicles rolling off the production line, the EEOC said.

 

Setting aside the credibility of the Hollywood-esque claims, one might ask what may have happened in the last 12 months which brought this to the fore.

BTW, let's look at the demographics of Fremont;

https://datausa.io/profile/geo/fremont-ca

2020 Median Household Income

$142,374

2020 Median Property Value

$999,500

 

61% non-Hispanic Asian (trying to exclude Filipinos?)

19% non-Hispanic white

7% other Hispanic

3% white Hispanic

3% non-Hispanic black

 

AFAICT, Tesla's Fremont site is a factory.

 

To provide some perspective, read the following from 2017;

Regarding yesterday’s lawsuit, several months ago we had already investigated disappointing behavior involving a group of individuals who worked on or near Marcus Vaughn’s team. At the time, our investigation identified a number of conflicting accusations and counter-accusations between several African-American and Hispanic individuals, alleging use of racial language, including the "n-word" and "w-word," towards each other and a threat of violence. After a thorough investigation, immediate action was taken, which included terminating the employment of three of the individuals.

I predict this latest thing will turn out to be a hoax. The claim of swastikas and nooses nearly guarantees such.

Most left wing BS like this is a complete fraud.  I vote that it will be found to be completely bogus (like most left wing hyperventilating BS).

In the wake of The New York Times’ false reporting , claiming the Israel Defense Forces bombed a hospital in Gaza, a report which was later totally debunked, X, formerly known as Twitter, removed the Times’ verification badge.

It has only been a year since Twitter stopping being a wholly owned subsidiary of the FBI/DOJ/Democrat Party!  How wonderful it is Twitter is working better than ever after firing 80% of their libtard staff.  I love hearing liberal tears of fired liberal npc drones.

The X CEO said he bought Twitter a year ago because he felt it was 'having a corrosive effect on civilization', and spreading the 'woke mind virus' at a dangerous pace, and condemned COVID restrictions, claiming that people put on ventilators were killed by the ventilators, not the virus.

He said part of the problem was that the company was located in hyper liberal San Francisco, and the flawed policies of the city 'infected' the staff.

'I think part of it is where it's located - which is downtown San Francisco,' he said.

'While I think San Francisco is a beautiful city and we should fight really hard to right the ship of San Francisco.

'But if you walk around downtown San Francisco, right near the X headquarters, it's the zombie apocalypse. It's really rough.'

And he decided to improve Twitter by destroying it. Customers are leaving in droves.

What happened to the customer is always right?

[Ssnake]

It's a useful heuristic for businesses, but not an absolute truth.

Sometimes you may not have the right customers. That's a decision you make at your own peril, but sometimes you must.

 

WRT Twatter/X, the question that must be answered first is, who are the customers. It certainly weren't the users since they weren't paying anything. So, it was the advertisers. But advertisement revenue was insufficient for Twitter. That's why masterscammer Jack Dorsey sold it in the first place. One way or the other, Twitter had to change because it simply had no sustainable business model as it was. Just like most video streaming services have no sustainable business model, as Disney found out.

[seahawk]

Twitter X however needs to be attractive for advertisement. And this industry prefers a libtard, progressive sphere a lot more than a conservative sphere.

[Ssnake]

All I'm saying is, if advertisement revenue was insufficient major changes would have been inevitable, whether Musk had bought it or someone else, or nobody. That would have changed Twitter substantially, no matter what. I would even go so far and say that paid accounts turn users into customers, which is a major improvement by my standards. I don't like being the product that is sold.

[seahawk]

Yes, the business model was either needing more revenue from advertising or a contribution by the users.

[Stuart Galbraith]

They keep having this happen, they refer it to complaints and get told nothing is wrong. OK, belatedly they delete them, but..

"heuristic" Was that in your word of the day feed? You made me look it up !  😊

Looks like Twitter is valued at less than 1/2 what Musk paid for it. I think he over paid to begin with.

I thought when it was shown how many of the accounts where bots and not real he would back out of the deal.  That would have had a legitimate reason to pull out of the deal.

It is nice saying*, but in the end leads to the mediocre products made to pander to masses. And they will often fail because they are totally same as any competition, and as such totally forgettable and replaceable.

Good product provokes target populace into loving it, it does not try to pander to every idiot's wishes.

*Never mind a fact that there is a world of difference in what people think they want and what they actually want.

So, what is going on here - I see an account that is Suspended. Is that not what the Auschwitz Memorial account wanted?

Also, the other post shows that they block display of the posts and ask you if you want to still read them. That's adult behaviour, balancing sensitivity to unpleasant content against censorship - putting it in the reader's hands as to whether they want to evaluate that content for themselves or not.

Is this a case where linking directly to dynamically updated content yields differing results over time, like all the outrage posts about tweets that become annotated with "but actually" content commentary?

Their problem is that anyone is able to register as 'Adolf Hitler' or 'Alljewsmusthang' which was another popular one, at all Then when they initially flag, it is defered as not a problem for days, and it takes multiple complaints to deal with it. They have raised this as a problem multiple times on their account as you can see. Its still happening.

Considering the companies owner is currently at a conference about AI,  there seems to be failures on multiple levels here, either with AI or with staff utilization of it.

Or maybe nobody there gives a shit.

Failure being defined in this thread as "Stuart Galbraith doesn't like it" is a KPI that Musk is probably comfortable with. 

In the pre-Musk days, problems abounded;
