Lol: https://journa.host/@jeremybmerrill/110894894974135811 - New: Elon Musk’s Twitter (now "X") is throttling traffic to news websites and competitors he dislikes. Five-second delays on links to New York Times, Reuters, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky and Substack. Most other sites we tested have zero delay. (Then link to wapo)
From my perspective his rep start to tank when he did Hyperloop, and further down when he did the cave rescue stunt. Should've stop at Tesla and SpaceX.
i wonder how's the workforce composition at X now, idk if it's a meme or not but got the impression from online that most that stayed were vulnerable H1B people that are about to be deported should they not choose to work there anymore lol.
Yeah same impression for me, reckon it's one of those things that'll come out in hearsay and anecdotes until some proper reporting/accounting exposes it.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that*. I just knew of Elon from his fake-ass PayPal/X days so when he showed up trying to cosplay a cool guy I'm like, hah.
*Pretty much the original avengers era lineup got all their hair sorted anyways
