looks like newly minted Twitter CEO Elon Musk is having a bad day. After firing a VERY LARGE portion of the company this morning, there’s apparently an issue with his Twitter account.
Looks like a large group of disgruntled former Twitter employees have also filed a class action lawsuit against Musk. The suit alleges Musk broke federal and California state law by not giving enough notice for mass layoffs. (Which is true- legally, Twitter needed to give 60 days notice for large-scale layoffs.)
As of 10:17am (PST), his account is back up.
And, a fun note has been added to this gem:
Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.
Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
