     Ok I am going to keep stupid Twitter stuff in this thread. So apparently Twitter devs received orders to print 50 pages of code they did recently and wait for Musk to come with Tesla engineer and review the code with them. Then they were told to wait, and then to shred it all.

     Some more stupidity : Twitter is planning to start charging $20 per month for verification / And if the employees building it don’t meet their deadline, they’ll be fired by Elon Musk.

     An interesting article on the Twitter economic situation, key point is that Twitter has a lot of debts and owes $1 billion a year of interested while making $630 millions. So Musk has to cut costs.
