Don’t Look Now But Twitter Suddenly Is A Dumpster Fire



I used to think Elon Musk was a visionary. Now I think he's a megalomaniac freak with a God complex. Thanks to Hot Hardware News for this summary of his latest debacles on Twitter:: Musk's Twitter saga continues to evolve, as the company undergoes an extremely raucous 48 hours. The billionaire has been making some questionable changes in what he says are attempts to make the social media platform profitable.

Since Elon Musk took over as Twitter CEO a little over two weeks ago, it seems as though each new day brings a new change to the company. In that short time span, Musk has fired the entire Twitter board, issued massive layoffs, introduced a new Twitter Blue subscription and verification process, told work-from-home employees they must return to the office, stated bankruptcy is not off the table, etc. To say that the last couple of weeks at Twitter have been tumultuous might be an understatement.

Just in the last 48 hours or so, the company has seen multiple high-ranking officials depart, and a torrent of accounts with blue check marks impersonating companies which led to Twitter removing the ability for any new accounts to sign up for the controversial subscription plan. A few examples of fake accounts included those impersonating Musk's Tesla and SpaceX, Roblox, Nintendo, and Eli Lilly and Company. Eli Lilly ended up having to post a tweet apologizing to its followers, after accounts with blue check marks impersonating it led some to believe the company would be giving out free insulin.
