    Lol: https://journa.host/@jeremybmerrill/110894894974135811 - New: Elon Musk’s Twitter (now “X”) is throttling traffic to news websites and competitors he dislikes. Five-second delays on links to New York Times, Reuters, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky and Substack. Most other sites we tested have zero delay. (Then link to wapo)

      @jeremybmerrill @drewharwell he could have just renamed it republicans anonymos

      Agree. Instead of X it should be REE. 🤣

        Not to play the hipster card but mine eyes have been rolling at him and his hair implant hairline even before that Iron Man 2 cameo 😌

            Absolutely nothing wrong with that*. I just knew of Elon from his fake-ass PayPal/X days so when he showed up trying to cosplay a cool guy I’m like, hah.

            *Pretty much the original avengers era lineup got all their hair sorted anyways

        From my perspective his rep start to tank when he did Hyperloop, and further down when he did the cave rescue stunt. Should’ve stop at Tesla and SpaceX.

            Twitter is the last straw that broke the camel back, but yeah the like/hate ratio before twitter is tilting toward like.

            Before Twitter those who rolled eyes at him were still in the minority. Now a bit more exposed but even then …

              i wonder how’s the workforce composition at X now, idk if it’s a meme or not but got the impression from online that most that stayed were vulnerable H1B people that are about to be deported should they not choose to work there anymore lol.

                Yeah same impression for me, reckon it’s one of those things that’ll come out in hearsay and anecdotes until some proper reporting/accounting exposes it.
