My Republican boss bought a Tesla, but he returned it after just a few days. He hated it. He bought a Honda EV instead.
He was very uncomfortable with some of the self driving aspects of the Tesla. I don’t remember the specifics.
My first attempt to log into twitter this morning took me to an error page. Later attempts have been ok so far.
You guys use Twitter? Why not attend a few MAGA rallies too?
I know this is a joke, but if Twitter is running on a well-architected Kubernetes cluster, (and I assured that it is,) Elmo should be able to unplug machines at will and the cluster controller will automatically spin up new instances of the affected binaries on other machines. There is no “this machine does X” that can be discovered by shutting physical machines off.
(Also, I would hope that the bulk of Twitter is running on cloud servers owned by some other company that Elmo does not have physical access to. Even if they are Twitter-owned servers, I would hope they are at some collocation site, rather than taking up expensive San Francisco real estate).
That just makes the joke better. Imagine Elon in an unheated San Francisco office, running around unplugging printers and coffee makers, and then spinning around to his three remaining employees (at least one of whom is clearly janitorial staff) and saying, “Now, see if that changed anything!”
shoots computer monitor “I stopped the virus!”
It’s working! Every time he unplugs a server, one of his competitors’ cars stops running! #realgenius
And should we conclude that Twitter cannot be turned off if it launches the nukes, sends a Terminator back in time to kill Kamala Harris as a child, etc. etc. …?
Hey, it worked for Jethro Gibbs.
In other news, the recent artic blast has been reportedly leaving Tesla owners unable to enter their vehicles despite Tesla rolling out a software update back in October that was supposed to alleviate the issue.
The only winning move is not to tweet.
As of this afternoon I’m logged in on desktop, but if I try to log in on my phone it just tells me I’m already logged in.
I guess Elmo has decided using more than one device to access Twitter is “woke” or something.
Twitter is being evicted from its Seattle office for not paying the rent.
Welp, so much for that living at the office thing …
Home is Office.
Office is Home.
Life is Work
Work is Life.

Heh. From this story:
“Early on Christmas Eve, members of the billionaire’s staff flew to Sacramento — the site of one Twitter’s three main computing storage facilities — to disconnect servers that had kept the social network running smoothly,” said the report. “Some employees were worried that losing those servers could cause problems, but saving money was the priority, according to two people who were familiar with the move but not authorized to talk about it.”
“The data center shutdown was one of many drastic steps Mr. Musk has undertaken to stabilize Twitter’s finances,” said the report. “Over the past few weeks, Twitter had stopped paying millions of dollars in rent and services, and Mr. Musk had told his subordinates to renegotiate those agreements or simply end them. The company has stopped paying rent at its Seattle office, leading it to face eviction, two people familiar with the matter said. Janitorial and security services have been cut, and in some cases employees have resorted to bringing their own toilet paper to the office.”
He’s not paying them to poop and pee - do that at home!
The boss makes a dollar. I make a dime.
That’s why I poop on company time.
I always said they give me shit at work, the least I can do is give it back.
