Maintaining existing CSS is hard. Luckily, usurping all of social media as an "everything app" will be trivial by comparison.
Step 1: Fire 80% of your programmers
Step 2: Promise new features including getting into banking and ecommerce and literally doing "everything"
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit(?)
Seems like step 3 might involve stopping doing even the basics of keeping your existing client base happy.
In step 3 is “lose 50% of your advertisers” and “completely destroy a well known brand that’s made its way into common nomenclature” among others

Step 3 is using chatGTP to break.. I mean to build your site
Elon has clearly shown that I can trust him with my finances. I am excited to turn all my personal data and money over to his excellently designed software and highly ethical company. What could go wrong?
I can't imagine wanting to use Twitter for anything critical after Elon axed the security and compliance teams. Like finance. You're basically asking for your identity to be stolen.

Anyone actually cares at this point?
Nope. Quit the bird site when he went full asshat. Barely used the bird site before but it was helpful for breaking news in the olden days. Other than potential A11Y legal action if it fails for contrast issues, I don't think anyone should care about this stupid site now. The tech community has moved on.
I'm guessing that no one here does. If you're on Lemmy, you're probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.
I wish people were far more willing to just move on when the winds were changing, instead of sticking out for.. god knows what reason

I thought changes were going to be voted on.
Elon voted, I bet
That gimmick lasted all of a day or two until Elon decided democracy was cringe when Twitter voted to oust him.
Elon: "I'm going to delete this thing."
Everyone else: "NO! Why would you do that kind of thing?"
Elon: "O-o-okay! B-b-but I'm going to delete something today! That other thing, then!"
(Elon continues to read the hypothetical The Best Of Dilbert's Pointy-Haired Boss book and gets so many ideas, folks)
Twitter's going save money by hosting their website on Geocities. The new plan only comes with 250mb of storage and that dancing baby gif is like 3mb easy. Gotta clean up somewhere.
Imo so he can bring it back as part of the paid features, the dude is looking for ways to make money in literally everything
And he's so shit at it, especially on Twitter. Let's not forget about the dumb idiot going full fash and chasing a significant amount of advertisers away, I'm sure that helps his financial situation a lot.
You mean pay for a CSS re-skin? To enable light mode??
Yes, that seems to be the plan.
I mean, he kinda wants to make 40 billion dollars back… he ought to try to nickel and dime every single user
"A lot of people"
Translation: "no one, it was me"
"many people are saying..."

He doesn't like competition, especially at being fucking dim.
I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.
Threads needs to go too. In fact all sites that want to steal/sell all your data and control the whole world do.
I'd much rather have twitter than threads, as bad as it may be

Sniffing that glue again.
*spits out water WHAT THE FUCK
What is he going to Musk up next?
Fuck twitter and fuck big tech
He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out
He just needs to chew on bigger, thicker wires. The kinds with beefier plugs on the end of them.
IME new people in charge gotta "make some changes around here" to justify their position. But if you own it why?
Has he been huffing burning plastic again?
My guy elron is the one that's dim...
I’ve learned more about Twitter/Ten coming to Lemmy then I ever have anywhere else. I’m amazing so many people care about it.

You can't call yourself X and then not go all dark, that makes perfect sense.
I'm just waiting for the Radio X-like slogans, for the full effect : "we're the end of the alphabet people, that's got to mean something, but we don't know what"
Elon is as a Elon does
