    Twitter’s response to a request for comment regarding its Boulder offices was an automatic email with a poop emoji. Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted in May that this is the new auto-response for press inquiries.

    I can’t believe this is real, what an absolute clown show.

        This is why they are getting fined for more than the company is worth in Germany, they also responded to the German Data Protection Authority’s inquiries with poop emojis.

    i find it fascinating how many rubes seem to idolize self aggrandizers - there are really millions of people in the world who think each of [Elon Musk, Kanye West, Donald Trump, many more] are ‘truly geniuses’ - largely because they keep telling people that they are geniuses (and pay people to repeat the myth).

    Maybe I should be more self aggrandizing…

    I was a bit puzzled why they would even have a Boulder office, but then again, we are living through a reboot of “The Stand”, so …

      A lot of tech companies have secondary offices in other larger cities where some of their developers prefer to live. Often those people will work from home, but the corporate apparatus likes to have a small amount of offices and support staff locally. They don’t need any of that… but they seem to think they do.

        Well the sale took twitter private, so Elon is no longer beholdent to share holders. Don’t get me wrong, he is an idiot and definitely deserves this downfall, but he can’t be sued by the shareholders since twitter is now privately owned.

            He took it private. Bought out all of the shareholders. It’s now all his, to ruin as he pleases.

            That’s why he tried so hard to get out of the purchase, by the way. Buying out all of the Twitter shareholders was staggeringly expensive, even by billionaire standards.

    If I just broke contracts left and right, my credit rating would be ruined and I’d struggle to get any more financing. Yet this guy continues to leave a longer trail of financial wreckage behind him with few consequences. Our financial system is broken
