If Musk was anything other than a rich white man, his record as owner of Twitter (or Tesla) would disqualify him from working a management job ever again.

Granting Musk the presumption of competence that comes with the title “world’s richest person” reveals in the starkest terms the way money, no matter how it is achieved, automatically confers the benefit of the doubt in most media.

I also love that things went from "I should probably figure out a Twitter alternative" on Saturday to "My Twitter account will probably be nuked for no reason" on Thursday. What a week

It was clear from the jump Musk didn’t understand the site he’d bought, but I’m still a bit surprised he doesn’t grasp that journalists are the main reason Twitter was more relevant than any number of other similar platforms. Can easily imagine looking back on this as a tipping point.

Remember that night that half of Tweeps got laid off and so everyone just stared at Slack until their accounts got nuked? tonight is like that but for reporters

My last two Washington Post stories on Elon Musk before Twitter suspended me and other journalists discussed his flirtation with QAnon and the public data about his private jet:

"Musk did not, however, show how the tracking of his movements led to the incident. More importantly, he ignores the basic fact that freely available flight-tracking websites are a key tool of researchers, journalists, and activists" and have been used "to track Russian oligarchs and other corrupt interests" as well as "monitor military and political activity of public interest. Would he have these opportunities disappear?"

"In 2018, pseudo-anonymous investor, Montana Skeptic, wrote extensively about Tesla stock. But in July 2018, Montana Skeptic shut down his Twitter account and stopped writing about Tesla. Why? Musk allegedly found out the identity of Montana Skeptic and alerted their employer."

"It is unknown how Musk will manage Twitter moving forward. His statements about protecting free speech, for now, are just promises. And those promises are complicated by his historical hostility toward speech he perceives as damaging toward his economic interests."

I wish #mastodon had reaction icons ala slack. Sometimes you want to express something without adding much noise. Boosting and favorite isn't quite the same.

Elon Musk spent $44 billion to buy a platform in order to ban journalists for saying things he doesn't like.

Don't ever let these cowards get away with claiming they support free speech.

@vowe Elon Musk has the jet registration N628TS, you say? N628TS,
that's of jet belonging to Elon Musk? Interesting. N628TS. That's the tail number of Musk's jet. Gosh, I hope everyone knows this key fact - the fact that N628TS (an aircraft registration code) is for a 2015 Gulfstream Aerospace Corp G650ER belonging to Elon Musk.

@vowe It’s become apparent that Elon is not a smart individual, and holds a captive audience only due to his tech acquisitions.

Watching him problem solve in public tells us everything we need to know about him.

We’re also done with eccentric lunacy as a characteristic.

Now that Elon threatens to sue a Florida student, he may be rediscovering the Streisand effect. I had no idea his jet has the registration N628TS. But now I know. The rest is easy peasy.

Die Stiftung Warentest hat Föhne getestet. Der Münchener Föhn wie schon in den Vorjahren auf Platz 1.

Natürlich habe ich mir auch die Lensa-App heruntergeladen und mir 200 Varianten meiner Visage im Airbrush-Style rechnen lassen. Alle Hautunreinheiten und subkutanen Fettablagerungen, die mein wahres Ich formen, sind nun verschwunden. Interessant. Wenn ich die entstandenen Fantasiebilder meines Gesichts als Grundlage für die nächste Charge nehme und das mehrfach wiederhole, könnte mein Avatar problemlos den ZDF-Fernsehgarten moderieren. Wenn es dann noch eine App für meine furchtbare Stimme gäbe.

Bei einer Headline, die neue Froscharten verspricht, kann der Text nur enttäuschen. Fast immer handelt es sich um Frösche, die es schon länger gab, aber erst jetzt in entsprechende Froschkataloge einsortiert wurden. Echte Innovationen im Froschbereich mit neuen Funktionen und grundlegend verändertem Design bleiben weiterhin die Ausnahme.

Immer wieder sehe ich im öffentlichen Raum Hinweisschilder, die mir anzeigen, in welche Richtung der Deckel meiner Thermoskanne geöffnet wird. Praktisch!
