  TBH I'm actually kind of enjoying it. We all know that the uber wealthy and CEOs aren't any smarter than the rest of us, and this is such incredible daily validation. Enjoying the schadenfreude.
context: Who was it here that predicted this yesterday? >
  
  This has been the pattern for the last month or so, make a bad decision and then reverse it the next day >
  
  Seems like a waste of a day. >
  
  Not if it keeps you or your business in the news >
  
  I thought people use twitter to spread news, not to become the news. >
  
  You should send a memo to Elon >
  
  Elon Degenerate >
  
  Thank you for next year’s Halloween costume? >
  
  Be careful. You may get banned just like that Chinese doppelganger that looks exactly like Elon. >
  
  Yilong Ma was here first >
  
  "the company's head of trust said tool was 'temporarily' paused, triggering concern from campaigners."
  "After the story was published, Twitter head of trust and safety Ella Irwin told Reuters that 'we have been fixing and revamping our prompts. They were just temporarily removed while we do that'.
  'We expect to have them back up next week,' Irwin said." >
  
  Head of Trust?  Damn, she’s got her work cut out for her. >
  
  She's like the 3rd person to hold it since musk came in. >
  
  How many Mooches until the next person? >
  
  Well that depends if it is an imperial or metric mooch >
  
  is this a reference to Liz Truss? because I hope it is >
  
  Yes and no, see there are 2 ways of measuring the Mooch, it's either 10 days (the Metric Mooch) or 11 days (the Imperial Scaramucci). The Truss situation called the measurement question back to the forefront, however. >
  
  im guessing he isnt bringing back the covid warning, just the suicide part, as predicted previously. >
  
  What was the COVID warning part? >
  
  A warning against misinformation about covid or vaccines. >
  
  Was it tied to the suicide-prevention tool, or just also removed at the same time? >
  
  Removed at the same time. There were some predictions that the suicide prevention tool would steal all of the headlines, and then the suicide prevention tool would be reinstated the next day. Meanwhile, the media wouldn't report the less-flashy news that the covid misinformation tool was also discontinued and never reinstated.
  Basically, Twitter lit a firework and said, "Oo everyone look over there!" and then they pulled a sneaky while everyone was distracted. >
  
  Musk did the same thing like a week ago when it was announced neuralink was being investigated for animal cruelty for killing animals in their testing at a ridiculously high rate. Something like 5 or 6 times the expected rate for animal trials with thousands dead. Same day and for next couple days Elon is just tweeting tons of inflammatory anti Vax nonsense and then instituting that "you cant link to other social media" change they also ended up rolling back >
  
  You guys give him way too much credit for even being smart enough to do these things. >
  
  It's really not that smart. Smokescreening your fuckups is PR 101 stuff. Musk has been in the business of being a fuckup long enough to pick up a couple tricks, unfortunately the only one he seems to have mastered is masking his big fuckups with more fuckups. >
  
  Anyone who paid the slightest amount of attention during the Trump presidency saw how effective this tactic is. >
  
  Lol top comment on reddit said this was gonna happen yesterday >
  
  Maybe cause when they took it down they said they were revamping and gonna rerelease it. >
  
  Like... Jesus Christ. The reason they say there's no bad ideas when your brainstorming is because there's hopefully a few more steps between brainstorming and implementation. >
  
  This comment is an excellent reaction to so many things happening in the tech world. >
  
  It has to be just about keeping Twitter in the news and keeping outrages happening. >
  
  Alternate hypothesis: Musk is a terrible leader. >
  
  Both can be true and likely are. 
  Elon has never been good at running businesses.   Look at his history as CEO >
  
  It's a perfect demonstration of the fact that the more you pay for a product, the less likely you are to admit that it was a bad investment. >
  
  Seems better than "Reddit Care Resources" which people use as some kind of super-downvote.  You can always tell when you've pissed redditors off, because you'll get about one Reddit Care Resources messages per approx. 100 downvotes in a given thread. >
  
  I don't think I've ever received one along with downvotes. Just the opposite in fact. It's used as a way for some angry, self important twerp to go against what they like to call "the hive" to let you know they really don't like what you said without having to nut up and reply properly in thread.
  Edit: ha, got one from this comment. >
  
  You, too?
  Reddit should disband that spam generator - I'll bet it gets used 1,000 times as a form of harassment per each time it has a legitimate use. >
  
  Exactly how much annoyance is worth preventing to you vs giving someone the pause they need to reconsider suicide? >
  
  You're assuming people don't get it so much it drives them to suicide. >
  
  There's a multi week / month cooldown on it. >
  
  It is general knowledge that this time of year sees a spike in suicides. But, those living in a Privilege Bubble, may not know this. >
  
  Those in privilege are not immune to holiday depression. >
  
  They aren't immune, but it does tend to make it less likely. Think about the resources the wealthy have to combat this vs people living in poverty. >
  
  is theirs actually useful or is it like Reddits where you just use it to spam peoples posts you disagree with. Im not suicidal, but reddit is probably concerned about me being around anything more pointy than a pillow at this point. >
  
  Twitter made a new rule. Twitter took it back. They took away something else. They put it back. Twitter did a handstand while shouting "hey, look! Look at me! Did you see? Did you see?!"
  Puh-fucking-LEASE can we stop reporting on every stupid thing Twitter does like it's actually news?
