  Ngl this is a bang as you'll ever see one for the end of a company
context: The cause of this Twitter outage is unclear.
  
  Followed immediately by:
  
  Twitter has laid off nearly 75% of its staff, according to some estimates. >
  
  Correlation is not causation!
  ...but maybe this time. >
  
  Occam's Razor >
  
  I tried to shave with that once, but it didn't work, because my electric was simpler. >
  
  This muppet was talking about unplugging production servers and "omg nothing happened, this is easy" last week, so this seems about right. >
  
  "Why do we even have IT people? Everything works flawlessly. Fire those useless sods!" >
  
  Elon Musk is really killing Twitter. >
  
  Andrew Tate got destroyed by Greta on Twitter and it implodes.
  She’s destroyed the space along with the person! >
  
  oh? What'd Greta say? >
  
  Tate went out of his way to ask for her on Twitter her email to show off his list of expensive cars that burn gas to her.
  She responded by saying her email is smalldickenergy@getalife.com
  Edit:wording >
  
  damn, when people said greta should enjoy her childhood, this is what im looking for. >
  
  “The cause of this Twitter outage is unclear. Twitter has laid off nearly 75% of its staff, according to some estimates. Elon Musk took over the site in late October. Twitter no longer has a communications department.”
  Yeah, it’s a mystery isn’t it? >
  
  Legitimately surprising it took this long for wheels to start to come off, tbh. Those 75% should be damned proud. >
  
  I figured foreign government hacking groups would be champing at the bit to take Twitter down. Maybe now they're finally done siphoning all the intelligence data and can go about its destruction. >
  
  I thought Elon and his followers said Twitter could be ran with 20 people in a broom closet? >
  
  Imagine paying $44 billion for a broom closet. >
  
  Shocking...  Who coulda seen this coming... Except everyone. >
  
  This pairs nicely with that Elon tweet, where he boasted about shutting down critical servers and Twitter was still running fine. >
  
  This was predictable. It has at least 10 years of technical debt if not more, and most of the people who knew how to keep it chugging along got fired or quit. >
  
  That's something capitalists bosses tend not to properly value - institutional knowledge. There are things people know that aren't written down that are absolutely essential to the business. Fire those people and that knowledge is gone. >
  
  Hey Elon, did you try turning off and back on again? >
  
  If he turns it off he won't know how to turn it back on. >
  
  Everybody rushes to see, Twitter glitches that much harder >
  
  Individual parts of Twitter might begin to fail, such as the aforementioned direct messages. Users might notice an increasing slowness, a failure to save individual posts or upload images, or possibly an inability to log on to the site. >
  
  Yes, very sad.
  Anyway... >
  
  Elon, taking down twitter and tesla.  Sorta sounds like his hero trump and his track record for collapsing otherwise successful businesses. >
  
  Ohhh, I was totally in the mood for popcorn, let me grab some.... >
  
  My company has hired a few Twitter folks recently. All of them said Twitter won't be functional in a few months >
  
  Well, I'm shocked.  I totally thought Elon knew what he was doing here in social media, an industry he had zero experience working in.  Shocking!! >
  
  This is going to take all of the smartest minds we have to figure out this Murder She Wrote level mystery. >
  
  Matlock could do it. >
  
  The memes under #TwitterDown are hilariously brutal and priceless.
  Here’s to anxiously waiting for an epically legendary  manbaby tantrum.. >
  
  Perhaps firing a massive number of employees to cut costs wasn't such a great idea. 
  Have fun saving money with half a website. >
  
  
  The cause of this Twitter outage is unclear. 
  
  Lies and propaganda. >
  
  Twitter going down the shitter. >
  
  I’m shocked. 
  Here is my shocked face:  -_- >
  
  When I refresh the For You (without logging in), "Twitter Down" appears on the trending list for a split second then disappears instantly, letting everyone know that not only is it broken, but that information is also being clumsily hidden from view. Totally cool and fine. >
  
  I'm shocked, shocked I tell you! /s
  Musk FAFO, big time. >
  
  The end for Twitter, it seems, may have arrived. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
