Twitter Elon Musk

Twitter suffered partial downtime late on Wednesday after CEO Elon Musk said "significant backend architecture changes" were rolled out.

[occasions](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1592177471654604800) after taking over the social media site, saying the changes should make the site faster. Last week, Musk tweeted about Twitter still working, even after he disconnected "one of the more sensitive server racks."

Coincidentally, his acquisition added debt to Twitter that brought its interest payments up to $1bn a year. During the outage, tens of thousands of users reported they were unable to access the social media platfom, with most problems experienced on computer web browsers, rather than mobile devices. "I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!" The job of managing Musk in such a key role would make life somewhat difficult for any new CEO. It is not clear if yesterday's outage was caused by the planned data center closure, or preparatory work towards the move.

I think he is the only person in the world using the internet correctly and may possibly be the happiest person in the world because of how correctly he uses the internet. J: I think the only real action we can have to make Twitter better is to continue to bully Elon Musk when we can. While I do believe she is a deeply sad and evil individual, I believe she is emblematic of the type of hyper-online, older conservative that we often see in online spaces today. At first when he took over, there was a sense of dread of what would happen to the website, but there was a mass realization that we could now bully the richest man alive into potential bankruptcy, and as a leftist, this is incredibly fun. J: I feel like this could be a "hot take," but I do believe Twitter will last. J: Wokeness is a virus and I'm doing my best to be the largest superspreader of all time. The intention with this app was born out of transphobia from its transphobic creator, so it has a facial recognition service to "ensure" trans individuals could not use the app, but @halomancer1 easily bypassed this and publicly made fun of its creator. J: I believe one day I just added it to my Twitter bio after realizing that you can make people believe anything on Twitter without much effort. J: It still blows my mind that a fake article headline I made back in February 2022 about how Kanye West broke up with Julia Fox because she went "Goblin Mode" — that I decided to make while I was driving home during my commute from work — caused a domino reaction to that phrase becoming word of the year. It would have made my life if he blatantly revealed the emptiness of the faux-rage machine they have in right-wing media spaces over a story that wasn't real. Following my fake headline I made saying that "Snickers was taking out the chocolate dick vein on the candy," in a subsequent post, I posted an edited screengrab from Tucker Carlson’s show with the news chyron indicating he was talking about the Snickers story. The website will have security openings and hackers will find my credit card info and my social security number as the website is collapsing, but I will still be there posting until the last moment the website is online.

Elon Musk told Twitter users: "Works for me" after the platform went down for thousands. Staff previously raised outage concerns after mass layoffs.
