Twitter Is DDOSing Itself
I&#x27;m astounded it took this long to finally die. All those Twitter engineers who were harassed by Elmo&#x27;s very online fan club, and were treated with such cruelty and disdain on their way out, clearly did an incredible job. Hats off to them.<p>The curse of IT Operations: if you do everything right, management grifters never think you did anything at all. Why do I need you? Everything works fine!<p>Most Internet platforms are put together by popsicle sticks and bubble gum.  If Reddit didn&#x27;t have 2000 full time employees babysitting that steaming POS, it would be offline by the end of the week. But Twitter was like a chicken running around with its head chopped off, and it didn&#x27;t stop running for 9 months. It&#x27;s a testament to how incredible those engineers were.<p>This collapse at Twitter should have  happened by January. It&#x27;s a real shame it didn&#x27;t. How many thousands of tech workers were laid off because Musk&#x27;s fellow parasitic oligarchs saw Twitter running &quot;fine&quot; after the lobotomy, and followed him off the cliff like a bunch of lemmings? How many billions of dollars has the economy lost because of this one despicable man?<p>Elon Musk is a fraud. He is not an engineer. He&#x27;s a lazy bum who mooched his whole life off his groomer daddy&#x27;s apartheid emerald money. He would be nothing without that disgusting, incestuous old man. Despite his enormous financial privilege, Elmo was too lazy to enter the US legally. He was in the US for many years as an illegal immigrant. He only bothered to get off his lazy ass and finish his Economics degree because the risk of his deportation was becoming a real problem for X.com. That crooked philistine doesn&#x27;t know the first thing about hard work, engineering, or finance. He&#x27;s a damn good conman, he&#x27;s good at shitposting, and that&#x27;s about it. He has no other skills. He is not an engineer. He has no STEM degree. His only real accomplishment in life is proving that you can, in fact, spend billions of dollars in one lifetime, if you simply buy a bird app, run it into the ground, and salt the earth behind it.
