#ElonMusk has been caught refusing to remove #nazi propaganda from #Twitter and is now being sued in Germany, where they take these matters seriously. After being sued, the solution which #Elon chose to deal with it was to hide some nazi tweets in the lawsuit from Germans, but not to even remove those small number of tweets from Twitter as a whole. Please tell me again how Elon isn't supporting nazis. Not that anyone can see the nazi tweets for all the #TwitterDown issues https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/10/twitter-faces-legal-challenge-after-failing-to-remove-reported-hate-tweets

Twitter faces legal challenge after failing to remove reported hate tweets

HateAid in Germany alerted the social media giant to antisemitic and racist tweets, which were not taken down

Not only does Elon Musk not have a clue what heā€™s talking about, but this is *exactly* what he tried to do at PayPal, claiming it needed a full ā€œV2ā€ rewrite of the code when it didnā€™t.

Instead, it shifted resources away from key areas, caused PayPal to lose much more money to fraud, and eventually got him ousted as CEO.

Last month, I wrote about Elon Muskā€™s time at PayPal and how heā€™s repeating his mistakes from that period: https://www.disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wants-to-relive-his-start

Elon Musk suspended Linette Lopez from Twitter after years of critical reporting on his companies.

In a new piece, she lays out Elon Muskā€™s playbook of exploiting workers while building a cult following. These tactics arenā€™t new. Musk has always been this way, regardless of what former boosters like Kara Swisher want you to believe. They were just happy to ignore it for access while journalists like Lopez did the work.

Elon Musk was always a visionary jerk, bad boss at SpaceX, Tesla. But it won't work at Twitter.

Elon Musk has used the same playbook at all of his companies from Tesla to SpaceX. Sadly for him, his model will cause Twitter to go down in flames.

Iā€™m basically only keeping my Twitter account around so as not to break over a decade and a half of links on the web but I thought it might be an idea to pop over there today and state the obvious:

ā€œThe Outer Space Treaty of 1967 created an obligation under international law to avoid the harmful contamination of outer space, the moon and other celestial bodiesā€¦ā€

Meanwhile, Elon Musk: ā€œoi, Iā€™ve got an idea, why donā€™t I launch my fucking car into space for shits, giggles, and PR?ā€
