Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
I thought he owned it ? Seems odd he would have restrictions on using it.

Closure of Twitter Brussels office prompts online safety fears
Digital policy executives’ departure elicits unease over adherence to EU rules on disinformation and hate speech
Julia Mozer and Dario La Nasa, who were in charge of Twitter’s digital policy in Europe, left the company last week, according to five people with knowledge of the departures.
Other Twitter executives in the small but vital Brussels office, seen as a crucial conduit to European policymakers, had left at the start of the month during company-wide cuts that removed around half of its 7,500-strong workforce.
Mozer and La Nasa survived the initial cull, but no longer work there after the company’s new owner Elon Musk issued an ultimatum last week for staff to commit to a “hardcore working culture”. It is unclear whether the pair resigned or were made redundant.

They wont have anyone left at this rate.
I hope Musk is good at keeping servers online.

Ffs, twitter got hacked night before last night and 5.5 million peoples email address and phone numbers were stolen, probably got the bank or credit card details of anyone who paid for anything on there to I shouldn't wonder, who didn't see this coming when he sacked all the engineers, the genius running the place didn't even have the decency to tell anyone, norton did though fortunately

Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
Indeed, the data was available in the summer.
Quote:
It was gathered that user data was first posted on a hacking forum with a $30,000 price tag in July, but the recent sale offered this information for free, according to Bleeping Computer.
|
It was obtained using an API bug that was patched in Jan 2022.
Quote:
Twitter confirmed in August that bad actors took advantage of the vulnerability but patched the flaw in January 2022.
|
There is no evidence they obtained "bank or credit card details".
In fact, they already had peoples information, this flaw just allowed them to get a twitter id.
(So no email address and phone numbers were stolen either).
Quote:
[it allowed] people to submit phone numbers and email addresses into the API to retrieve the associated Twitter ID

Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
By "living under a rock" you mean generally ignoring social media ?
What good work has he done (besides slowly destroying twitter) ?

I'd like to know how he is the saviour of the universe as well.

The ‘good work’ Ramrod is talking about is described in the links he provided. Something to do with publishing censored tweets about Joe Biden’s son. Whether or not that’s good work I can’t be bothered to decide.

Don't worry he isn't. He may think he is but that's what being an arrogant, over-entitlement billionaire does for you. The man is a petulant bully: he sacks anyone who stands up to him and tells him thinks he does not want to hear and, at the same, time pretends he is the saviour of "free speech".
Don't worry, the only "free speech" he is interested in is what suits his personal and, now conservative, agenda. His definition of free speech is to allow back allow back neo-Nazis and white supremacist nut jobs to allow them to vent their bile.

Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
While I’m not going to defend him as ‘saviour of the universe’, he has had quite a profound effect in a couple of important areas - his advocacy of reusability and rapid prototyping has pushed rocket launch technology forward at a pace, so that SpaceX really is in the vanguard now. Spacex’s Starship programme is so impressive NASA has commissioned the company to produce a version of it as its next generation lunar lander. These sorts of bleeding edge projects are routinely handed by NASA to the likes of Boeing and Northrop-Grumman with little more than a nod and wink, so don’t underestimate Spacex’s disruptive ability here.
Also, Tesla, for all its imperfections, has grown from nothing to be a major, recognisable marque on our roads, has single-handedly shown up the established motor manufacturers’ half-hearted electrification programmes and forced them to up their game.
