      Go outside - take a walk. Maybe read a book… :doh: You know… things people have been doing for centuries to entertain themselves.

          Mr. Musk didn't write the thing, he only purchased it.

            Pretty sure it was his decision to lock it down though. This happened in the wake of that.

                  Twitter was a mess long before Elon purchased the company. If you want to hate on Elon, just hate on him. Don't hide behind the Twitter talking point that every liberal outlet uses.

                    I did not know that the OP was saying that he locked down the website. I thought OP was saying that Musk was responsible for a server error.

                        I'm sure he'll survive me pointing and laughing at him. If he doesn't want to be laughed at he shouldn't do and say things that evoke laughter at his expense.

                                I'm not a twit (twitter user), but this sounds like an attempt to reduce bot activity that went wrong. When Musk bought Twitter the best non-Twitter party line estimates for bot activity were anywhere from 70 to 95% of all tweets. These estimates were made by third party cyber security researchers, both in and out of the US government.

                                  A lot of those automated accounts, like those from the National Weather Service, were legitimate information sources. I'm not saying most of them. I wouldn't know, because they didn't account for that when they looked, which is my point. This lockdown does not appear to prevent bots. Its purpose AFAICT was to try to entice people to join twitter. It blew up. Not only did it cause massive outages as they made the dramatic change to the software pretty much over night, but it's questionable whether it will even pay off. A lot of casual twitter viewers I talk to are abandoning twitter altogether because of this. They lurked so they didn't have accounts, and don't want to create them.

                                    Wait! So people who didn’t have accounts are “leaving” without creating accounts? The horror! :doh: I think I agree with Slacker.

                                      The way it was rolled out is comical. I'm laughing at the piss poor planning and execution of it. And the eventual failure of the decision as he drives traffic away (again) Nobody seems to have a problem crapping on Microsoft here. Elon and Twitter are fair game.

                                        Of course Twitter / Musk are fair game. Just like Microsoft. The difference is people here typically crap on Microsoft the corporation not Nadella (CEO) or Vanguard (largest shareholder) because it’s not personal for them. When it is, they don’t hide it. Your problem with Musk is clearly personal. Not sure why you won’t admit it. I fully admit my personal dislike of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg (arrogant, hypocrites who got lucky - not the sage visionaries they claim to be). Embrace your bias… its very freeing! ;P

                                          It's not personal. He's a public figure, and the reason I bring him up is he keeps making very stupid decisions very publicly. Who was behind the last Microsoft update that blew up the network stack? Do you even know? Was it the CEO's decision to roll out that update without it being ready? Probably not. Elon Musk is not particularly bright. He's particularly rich. There's a difference and people often forget that. I think you think this is a liberal/conservative thing. It's not. It's an "idiotic public figure" thing.
