I know! I really wish he would have done more of this sort of thing before outwardly concerning himself with all that divisive crap and some of the stupider missteps he's taken so far. I'm interested to see what he tries when it comes to content providers and monetization as well.
The really funny thing is I've been very critical of Elon Musk in this and most of the other twitter threads. I think The Twitter files are one of the very few things that he got right, I'm happy he quickly undid most of his worst mistakes as they relate to twitter itself, I'm glad to see him undoing some of the stupider edge case censorship decisions twitter made before he got there, and I'm hopeful that he will continue to improve the platform, but that's about the extent of the praise I have to offer. It's not a lot.

And there is evidence in unsealed court documents in the discovery phase that shows they did the very same thing by pressuring Facebook to censor select voices as well. Anti-constitutional attack on political opponents and citizens. Very CCP/Putin-like.

Don't you just need to switch to your timeline from what is now the default view?
Looks like 3rd party apps might be dead. I'm not a Twitter user so I never understood why this was allowed in the first place. As an outsider, it seems like a smart move to help concentrate ad views.
Twitter API appears to be down, breaking Tweetbot and third-party clients
Twitter clients are broken left and right as the API unexpectedly went down on January 11, even bringing down Tweetbot.

Back in reality sans all of the author’s melodrama, he performed a major cost cutting measure and there was a service hiccup for 0.002% of their MAUs.Longform article on what Twitter was like for the employees during Oct-Dec. The author very clearly has nothing but disdain for Musk. Some new details about the behind the scenes moments but nothing entirely earth-shattering. The last few paragraphs give you an idea of the tone of the article, quoted here to help you gauge whether or not the read is worth your time:
Inside Elon’s “extremely hardcore” Twitter
Three months, thousands of layoffs, one ego
I personally loved the Elon's net worth-o-meter thing on the side that went down as you got further into the article. Obviously you're not going to change someone who frames an article like that's mind.
Did he seriously not address this?

The gun is alive.....Now that is a thing I would like to see.
As the article mention he won't want to lose control so quickly with bankruptcy. Telsa shareholders gotta be shifting in their seats nervously. They've already been burned of huge fortunes a few times by holding on when he lies of not selling more shares.Looming Twitter interest payment leaves Musk with unpalatable options
Purchased for $44 billion, company is likely worth as little as $15 billion today.
Just another wild night in Wizard City.
I think it was that whole January 6th thing.
Read the twitter files and you'll find out exactly why that happened, and what people working at twitter at the time were saying about it internally. And that's all I have to say about that, because I'm not getting into details here, and there's plenty to talk about regarding twitter that doesn't involve politics.
Oh, the horror!oh look, he lied about not coming back to twitter because of his amazing social media app.
who'd have thought Trumpf would lie like that?
