Yesterday Elon Musk told the remaining upper management staff that bankruptcy may be the next step.

The current rule is that if "parody" is in the account name, then it's ok. That's why Chipzel is no longer suspended.
Twitter is quickly figuring out how to do things better than before.

When Twitter goes out of business and gets bought for pennies on the dollar, how will they ever afford to check who properly had "parody" in their account name?

lol, I was reading a cool article about the space plane returning to earth after 908 days and stumbled on this article about Twitter.
https://www.npr.org/2022/11/12/1136205315/musk-twitter-bankruptcy-how-likely
Quote:
Now, however, under the chaotic leadership of Musk, the mercurial billionaire has reportedly told staff that bankruptcy could be nigh if Twitter does not start making more money.
How could this be the case, and what exactly has changed?
In taking the company private in his $44 billion purchase of Twitter, Musk cashed in some of his Tesla stock and also saddled the social platform with $13 billion in debt, which is a massive obligation for a company the size of Twitter.
For context, the debt equals about seven times the company's projected earnings for 2022.
It's essentially a huge credit card, and the annual payment is $1 billion.
Jesus, take the wheel.

It's funny that your link said Twitter's advertising revenue was puny compared to Facebook. Meta stock is also dropping like a rock, and the major investors are convinced that the whole shift from Facebook to the Metaverse is a fail.
Musk and Zuckerberg were considered visionaries, but not so much lately. Tesla stock lost a lot of value just because Musk stated it was way overvalued. Obviously he's a brain but very questionable business decisions. He didn't want to go through with the purchase of Twitter, but the court forced him to.
IDK, the whole tech sector is down, then NASDAQ had one of it's best days ever this week. Tech will come back as will EV's. Maybe Musk and Zuckerberg have big comebacks, or maybe new set of brains and ideas will prevail.
I do know that my shit job for $22 an hour at Amazon is recession proof. A lot of white collar professionals in tech will be unemployed.

For work I was in the Pittsburgh Meta HQ, this was last Thursday. Rows and rows of work stations, probably 100 work stations or more, and only 3 people were there working. 4 if you count the girl at the reception desk. The one guy was sleeping at his desk. The other two looked absolutely miserable. The receptionist was lovely. I would imagine they have people working from home, but you have to wonder why they have this elaborate office on the CMU campus when nobody actually goes there. Their roof is leaking, we are fixing it. The interesting thing about that site visit is that we had to have a campus police officer escort us, and they have turnstiles that require a Meta ID to get in the office doors. I have never seen anything quite like that.
In other news, my company got bought and I got a $6k a year raise. Not sure how long the new owner will be interested, but I will milk it for the time being. I attempted to perform an employee buyout, but cash was an issue and I needed lawyers and accountants to get it going. The new owner came in on a cash deal and my boss (the old owner and name on the door) took a 4 year extension on his salary to basically work from Puerto Rico.
Meta and Twitter are looking rough. Tesla will be fine, the carbon credit system puts them nicely leveraged for at least the next 2-5 years. When the big manufacturers really start pumping out electric Tesla is going to see some troubles as Tesla will no longer be able to sell carbon credits to pump the bottom line. My personal investments took a nice rebound recently, not that I really care. I am 37 and have a long way to go before I start thinking about using any of that money.

Do you want to make a signature bet about Twitter going out of business, or do you know you're full of it?

On a long enough time line I obviously win. I don't know why you do this stuff.

I'm willing to stand behind my argument with a signature bet. christopera knows he won't win. So my challenge is 'bullying'.

It is. I have explained in great detail exactly why you use the signature bet callout in the past. Go find it and read it again.

As of Friday, Eli Lilly has pulled all advertising from Twitter after the fake tweet about free insulin was posted, and their requests for a remedy went ignored for hours.

It appears that the video of that Tesla suddenly taking off at full speed, crashing into seven cars, and killing two people in China has been scrubbed from Twitter.

I'm confused. Do you support or oppose Twitter's ban on impersonation accounts? Your article made it clear why impersonation accounts are bad.
