Celebrities Quit Twitter as Elon Musk Takes Over: “I’m Out of Here” – The Hollywood Reporter

“I’m out of here,” declared This Is Us executive producer Ken Olin"

"Billions showrunner Brian Koppelman similarly tweeted, “Y’all’s, for real, come find me over on instagram and the tok."

"Mia Farrow, for example, said she would flee the platform if it became more toxic under Musk, then deleted the tweet and instead wrote to Musk: “You gave us Tesla ♥️ and Space X♥️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you! Hope you can keep Twitter worthy of your previous achievements and of lawful people everywhere.”

"The Good Place and She-Hulk actress Jameela Jamil quit Twitter on April 25, according to People, and declared, “I fear this free speech bid is going to help this hell platform reach its final form of totally lawless hate, bigotry, and misogyny. Best of luck.” She later deleted the tweet and returned to the platform."


The self importance is staggering. Celebrities really are the dumbest human beings.

No he is just brainwashed period. The classic progressive still searching for the end of the utopia that will never come even if they got all their wishes. Progressivism is about government control and that tin foil waiting at the end of the rainbow isn't gold and treasure for everyone.

Elon Musk Told by London’s Sadiq Khan, EU Chief to Censor ‘Digital Hate’ on Twitter

Elon Musk has been told that Twitter must conform to a more censorious vision of the internet and continue to combat “digital hate” by London mayor Sadiq Khan and EU Commissioner Thierry Breton.

Following the Tesla billionaire’s official acquisition of social media giant Twitter this week, figures in Europe have already begun demanding that Elon Musk adheres to their anti-free speech agenda.

Mayor Sadiq Khan, who during his tenure in office has spearheaded efforts to criminalise more speech in the British capital rather than spending his time dealing with the actual violent crime plaguing the city, demanded that Mr Musk continue the Silicon Valley social media site’s policy of combatting “digital hate”.

It doesn't really matter.

My buddy used to work in GIS for the county where we went to HS for one of our buddies' Dad. He was probably born in 1950 and didn't like computers or the internet so he had his secretary print out his emails in color. This is kind of like that, except he wasn't using car engineers to interpret the emails for him and the emails held a consumable amount of information.

It's the kind of thing an out of touch somebody would do if he didn't really understand their jobs.

So, you equate Musk to someone born in 1950 that didn't trust technology or email? Do you actually think that anyone that writes code can't understand Twitter code because they write code for Tesla? If you do, your generation is lost.

You think the guy who created SpaceX, Starlink and Tesla and plans on landing Man on Mars in the next 10 years doesn't have someone on payroll that can read and write code for Twitter?🤣😂

Old people (>35) are stupid and technologically incompetent. Besides, Twitter website code is super-duper sophisticated and can only be interpreted by 20 somethings working from home after playing a video game.

Software is software. Especially at this high of a level of hardware interfacing. Assembler is quite an art form and of course tied very tightly to hardware. But for high level languages software is software.

I'm quite familiar with Assembly code, load accumulator A, load Accumulator B, ADD, Pop the stack. 2 Hours of work to add two numbers, but damn fast.

Lol… I just got PTSD looking at that.

Writing code is more challenging that reviewing code. Reviewing code is really rather trivial from a technical perspective. What does the code do and if there are actually documented design requirements does the implementation adhere to the requirements. Not that hard really.

The thing about code is how well it's documented and if the person that wrote it was into Spaghetti or not, because some people really really really suck at basic logic.

I’ll be the first to admit I wrote ugly code. But it worked when I was done with it. Then I’d hand it over to the software engineer for cleanup to coding practices and standards and release and I’d participate in the final test and review.

For the last 20 years of my career a very large amount of time I just told the software monkey to send me files XYZ and I’d update and send back to them. We both knew I wrote ugly code. But doing embedded controls most of the time it was easier for me to just show them what I wanted to do and then have them execute the formal updates. If this was a huge update or a new design I would instead document what I wanted in an algorithm description document which became the primary design resource document. And those ADD’s could get rather large and involved in a hurry.
