The “Readers added context” feature is the only good thing about Twitter.

    How old is this conversation?

    I don’t expect Elon to have the various store policies memorized, but shouldn’t an employee be aware of this shit? Why is he being schooled by users?

    Maybe he fired the “policy advisor”, too.

      It’s 3 days old. You joke, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he fired the policy advisors.

      Elmo doesn’t run ideas past people. He’s reached the no-filter point where he just posts whatever he thinks of as the next twitter policy. He’s done that pretty much since Day 1 at twitter, and he was getting close to that at tesla.

      There’s a theory that the drugs he was reportedly doing to stay awake 23 hours a day while the Model 3 was a non-shipping supply chain disaster (which threatened him with the loss of a multi-billion dollar bonus, iirc) gave him a speed induced psychosis. He was always an arrogant prick who used lies to con people, now he’s someone with a decompensated personality disorder on top of that.

      I believe his lack of content moderation has already led to several violations of european laws which are making their way through the courts.

      He will simply walk it back once they’re actually threatened with having their app pulled.

      The one on store policies is wrong. The section people point to is actually about developers of the app having the ability to block specific users from using the app.
