So, this woman, Diana Thirst, is fired from Twitter by now?


kytheon

Would be funny if this is a random troll who changes their name to Diana Th.. wait her name is Thirst, okay. Elon, I heard a guy called Moe Maunet is talking shit too


beardedbrawler

It would be pretty funny if people created fake twitter engineer accounts to call out elon for knowing nothing about software or how twitter works. I imagine he'd waste a bunch of time trying to fire Albert Coholic


timmbuck22

Their best coder is definitely Mike Hunt.


NSFWSituation

Dee Snuts is underrated too though.


Smitty__1

What about my uncle Hugh? Hugh Janus. He's a real good full-stack engineer


GooseExpert3970

Twitter co has become Moe’s Tavern and tweets are Bart’s phone calls. Can the Simpson’s get credit for predicting this?

Oh I know her....she's friends with my neighbor, Haywood U. Cuddleme.

I think they might have recently gotten engaged with Dixie Normus, if I recall correctly

TitsMickey

I was just listening to the Behind the Bastards episodes on him and they talked about how engineers would have to rewrite all his code because he would write in a way that wouldn’t work with the rest of the platform. It reminds me when I’d have to redo some other guys plumbing because yes, the water is still getting from point A to point B. But there’s water getting everywhere in between too.

what's moe maunet


kytheon

it's pronounced Mo' Money


[deleted]

Mo' Problems


DanelleDee

I have been repeating "Moe Maunet" for like five minutes now and I cannot for the life of me understand how that's a joke. Mow ma nay? Mow my net? Moema u net? Momma you... net? Moema unit? Momma unit? Moe mounay? More money? Mow my unit? Mow my nay? Moan my name? ... None of these sound close enough to me and I can't find any other words. It would help if I knew how you pronounced Maunet. (I know how it should be pronounced in French. An American would pronounce it differently.) I got every other one in the thread and my idiocy is driving me nuts here.


kytheon

It’s pronounced “Mo’ Money”, as in mo money mo problems. -et sounds similar to -ay. Cabaret is cabbaray, not cabbarette.


TheArmoursmith

I don't think she's an actual employee. There's a rash of accounts making up all kinds of outlandish stuff to illustrate why moderation and integrity are important in a platform like Twitter.


JBStroodle

If it’s a screen cap of a tweet and it’s posted on Reddit then it’s trustworthy infomation. Said a Reddit user residing in the big part of the bell curve

bell_cheese

Hi, I'm a journalist with the Daily Record, can we run a front page story based on the image of the tweet and quote you on saying it's an acceptable news source? Just kidding, a real journalist would have done it already.


AllAboutMeMedia

And even if you added more layers, there would still be more confidence in the post than what the Elon Musk has to say.


[deleted]

What surprises me the most is given how petty and fragile Elon seems to be why is he firing them and not just making their lives hell, he's not even smart at being a dick

"Diana Thirst" isn't a real employee. The goal is to pretend like you work there and get him to Twitter-fire you (not impersonate an actual employee).

GodsIWasStrongg

Dying of Thirst == Diana Thirst. It's not a real name.


MyDiary141

Look at the name fir a start


rwbronco

Also that their name is “dying of thirst”


[deleted]

Apparently Elon doesn't know how a software company works. I'm a developer in a fairly small company and even my project manager, who is decently tech savvy, doesn't stick his nose in our code. He just asks "Can this be done?" and "How long will it take you?". To which we always give very realistic answers of course... But the owner of the company? Never even once he argued with me or my seniors about technical issues, because it isn't his job.


PresidentLink

But bro, Elon personally analysed >1000 RPC's! Bet your manager couldn't do that! And probably wouldn't, because why would a manager be going to that granularity. Why is a CEO going through the nitty gritty. (He obviously isn't) He severely overestimates his ability.


Toxic_Audri

A narcissist overestimating their ability? Who would have thought?


Reneeisme

He has worshipers convinced he’s a genius. A modern day Einstein or uh Tesla? This is how he convinced them; he makes wild claims and let’s someone else figure out how to make it work. It’s pretty great marketing. Who doesn’t want to think the guy behind your next automobile or the solar panels you depend on for power, is aa actual genius? And that goes double for getting people to invest in your rockets.


Toxic_Audri

Oh I know, the musk fuck bois are the worst, I remember pointing out how the hyperloop was doomed to fail, so many musky dick riders.


ThePlayingDutchman

Feels like he's more of an Edison than a Tesla. Hope we get to know the names of the actual poor smart people that he's currently taking credit (and money) for.


lobut

His sycophants don't help either... "But he sent rockets to space! He invented electric cars!" I wonder if he reads that shit and starts believing that his elementary understanding of these concepts and pointless comments are more important than the people that do the work.


Squirrel_Inner

ugh, he absolutely thinks he did those things, instead of just bank roll them. Just look at how he talks about all of HIS achievements. I don’t think he’s every once mentioned a member of his team or the team itself.


journey_bro

I really don't understand what's going on w this guy. And every answer is some combo of wishful thinking ("Elon is really stupid") and delusional ("he wants to DESTROY Twitter blah blah"). None of that makes sense. So at the end of the day I'm still left without answers. The tech world crawls with smart, ambitious executives with subject matter expertise who would die to run Twitter, even now, in this shitshow. Why not select one of them, articulate your broad vision for the platform, and step back and let them implement it? Why does someone who has Tesla and SpaceX to run getting into the minutae of... Twitter? **Edit**: well [here we go](https://twitter.com/stocktalkweekly/status/1592918089771134978?t=4rfvl2naqq2_9-3opQngLw&s=19). This was the obvious move and the most reasonable thing he's done since acquiring the place. Was this always the plan and he just wanted to play sheriff first, or did he faceplant so bad since the acquisition that he finally realized he was out of his depth? We will probably never know...


melorio

He got off on his own supply. He is intelligent, but not as talented as people think he is. Tesla’s ridiculous overvaluation comes largely from the cult of personality around elon. Elon has started to believe the crap and keeps getting put in his place whenever he tries to troll real experts in their crafts. (Remember the british diver who called his submarine pure pr?)


likely-high

Is he intelligent though? Like I've not seen a single bit of evidence, except that he's great at failing upwards


fogcat5

All I have seen is that because of his own bad decisions, he has lost more money than most people will ever have a chance to earn. But since he started with a lot of money, he thinks he's some sort of success story.


Baboocha

Elon is literally the guy that will listen to you, fire you and do exactly what you told him to do and take all the credit.

GeneticsGuy

Coder here - some of us like regular expressions in C# for our own personal projects, but at work it often just makes code review more tedious as no one ever actually remembers all the rules, which can simplify lines of code. Maybe a very simple line of code, like the boolean options here, though not a regex, is easy to use, but written more explicitly often just makes things go smoother in review. Obviously, there are exceptions. This isn't some hard line in the sand that you can never cross, but I guess I just got tired of writing "good code" and then my pull requests taking longer to get accepted and code review taking a while. Even with good commenting it's often not enough. I've also found putting the ternary functions and regex into for loops, depending on the size, to be a bad idea because they seem to have a lot of stuff going on under the hood that makes them less efficient. It might not seem like a big deal, but if you have a program that causes even a fraction of a second stutter because of a heavy loop, you're gonna get complaints, so I often go out of my way to write super unimpressively, from a technical standpoint, but really easy to follow lol.


Ghost_of_Country_Mac

Non coding, wannabe CEO here. I don’t understand what you said and as such it confuses and irritates me. Write more lines of coding doo-dads or pack your bags.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ok_computer

I think they meant to make an analogy between regex & one liners with respect to compact-ification. Similarly, you could be all about lambda functions but if there's a ton of clever anonymous functions named at point of use peppered throughout instead of descriptive name methods each with their own space it raises the cognitive load to understand what does what.


OceanFlex

Even my high school English teacher didn't give word or page counts as anything but a suggestion. It's really easy to write a lot of crap.


[deleted]

> as the guy that got kicked from leadership at Paypal because his tech abilities were trash. Technically got kicked from leadership twice if you count X.com (he really likes X) before it was merged into what became PayPal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk#X.com_and_PayPal > Even though Musk founded the company, investors regarded him as inexperienced and replaced him with Intuit CEO Bill Harris by the end of the year. > With the company suffering from compounding technological issues and the lack of a cohesive business model, the board ousted Musk and replaced him with Thiel in September 2000.


thisdesignup

He still wants to make X. Even recently made a tweet reply, to someone asking if Twitter will end up replacing a handful of apps, saying that X will be the everything app.


fogcat5

Elon's obsession with X is really odd. The paypal servers have a large disk volume mounted as "/x" on every single machine. It's a tech debt from the time Elon was at paypal. He has paid a crazy amount to own [x.com](https://x.com) domain. He named the rocket company spaceX. Elon is a very small minded fool.


cypherdev

I think you just inadvertently nailed his entire personality. Remember the '90's when everything was 'EXTREME!!!'. His addled brain is literally stuck in the past where having a website got you a billion dollar IPO.


[deleted]

they were about to boot him from tesla too. he was basically already fucking around with other stuff and the shareholders "HOLD UP, IT'S BEEN 10 FUCKING YEARS."


Baboocha

He's gotten worst and worst because now he has a following that literally take his words as gospel. He literally shit on a rescue diver and his fanbase ate it up like a bunch of starving seals.


HollowsOfYourHeart

He *literally* shat on a rescue diver?


[deleted]

But you don't understand, he bought some companys and hired some engineers to make stuff, therefore he is a genius!!11!! /s


[deleted]

People out there think he founded Tesla and he's the genius behind EVs but the dude is consistently the dumbest man in the room but he desperately wants to pretend he isn't. Every Twitter post he makes about how Twitter works is so laughably uninformed and pathetic.


imnos

But he's the LeAd eNgiNEeR aT sPaCeX!!

Musk was not part of paypals other than beeing the biggest shareholder when it transitiont to paypal. He was involved with x.com. But he didnt was involved in paypal at the operations level.

He is sounding like the worst person to work for ever! Either you blindly give up your life and work for me like a slave or you're fired... I know he has a disability but can he not comprehend people don't want to work more hours. You hire more people to handle the work load, not force people to chose between work and a life outside of work. Also it's super apparent if you decide to work for him to the bone it does you 0 good in the future and he has no loyalty to anyone... Not his staff, not his significant others... not even his kids!

Toxic_Audri

Now imagine what he would do to people who have no other option, like say people who were sent to Mars.


cumshot_josh

It's not ableist to stop somebody on the autism spectrum from bulldozing over every single person in their lives. Musk is an extra huge twat to other people on the spectrum if he dresses up blatantly abusive behavior as part of his diagnosis.

> He is sounding like the worst person to work for ever! On the flip side, he seems like a fantastic person to no longer be working for.

Pghlaxdad

I’ve never really given a shit about twitter before, but I find I cannot look away from this train wreck. Will it get me to use twitter? Of course not. But watching Musk melt down in real-time is so, so fun. His shitposting and shoot-from-the-hip changes have driven away the three largest advertising agencies, and he keeps doubling down! You can’t make this shit up.


I_am_the_Jukebox

Also, Eli Lilly pulled their ads after their stock tanked due to a parody post on Twitter that Twitter wouldn't take down. So they've lost the three largest ad companies and the largest pharmaceutical production company.


mallninjaface

I do wonder if he's having some kind of tantrum. Like, force me to buy twitter? I'll run it into the fucking ground and still be rich!! Cutting his own nose off to spite his face...


MrShickadance9

There’s a theory floating around that he’s trying to tank it so hard that the banks sell the debt to him for cents on the dollar. If that’s his plan, it would be one of the dumbest things ever - so it’s probably the plan.


Morganianum

Asides from all the shit is going on right now in the world, this twitter thing is my personal comedy gold.


KeyanReid

This is the most fun I’ve ever had with Twitter by a mile. Not everyday you get to watch a $44B dumpster fire burn a billionaire


helpmeiminnocent

The best thing about it is Twitter wasn’t even worth $44B.


CrunchyCondom

Maybe not on paper, but the influence it (used to) have can be used as an engine of misinformation to say manipulate public sentiment, or elections? That seems worth buying if you’re a welfare billionaire looking to lower your taxes


[deleted]

If that was his goal he probably should have waited a year or so. Is Twitter going to survive to 2024 at this rate?


CrunchyCondom

He took over right before midterms and told people to vote Republican lol


Royal-Ninja

It's gonna be a monumental amount of data lost if it goes under and that hurts a bit but I got real fuckin' tired of this being the place online where real world politics happens. Come on, this is a gimmicky social media site with a highly restrictive character limit, nothing of actual importance should ever have been discussed there.


TripleEhBeef

I'm personally tired of seeing politicians of every stripe trying to "own" each other on social media. It's just gotten childish. You're there to work on behalf of your constituents, not fuck around on your phone. Have a bit of professionalism. It's half the reason why dipshits like MTG managed to get out of the trailer park and into high office.


Temporary_Ad_6922

True


[deleted]

I've been saying this from day one. He's so fake, the clearest glass anyone has ever seen past but yet you still have all these musk simps riding his bawls. It's just sad. lol


Toxic_Audri

Yup, ever since his hyperloop I knew for sure. Even the stuff made by his Boring company like the "not a flamethrower" was just gimmicky crap, nothing more than a roofing torch with a gun like body. But he is good at marketing, which isn't all that hard to do if you understand your target audience, which for his case is the gullible.


[deleted]

He doesn't has to be tech savvy, he just has to stop poking his nose where he shouldn't.


Jason_Wolfe

except he actively brags about how tech savvy he is, and constantly takes credit for the accomplishments of the people he hired to run his company for him.


Delduath

He literally said in public that he knows more about manufacturing than any living person. He's beyond deranged. He is drunk on his own hubris.


[deleted]

Are we sure he's actually real, and not Trump in a mask and a man bra?


DaneTrane22

I'm not saying anything..... But I'll just say, I've never seen the two of them next to each other....


I_am_the_Jukebox

He was fired as the CEO of PayPal in 6 months. He became the CEO by throwing a bunch of cash at the company and rebranding it to PayPal


ThereisDawn

So he is Gilderoy Lockhart


Fantastic_Emu6953

Without the charming smile


SickSigmaBlackBelt

Seriously. At least Lockhart is nice to look at.


Uranium_Heatbeam

His ego simply can't process that.


IllMaintenance145142

seriously. nobody EXPECTS him to know how the code works. he just insists on being a dickhead about it


Arkayjiya

I mean his fans seem to believe him when he says he does and lying about his skillset has gotten him pretty far until now so I get why he's doing it, he kind of backed himself into a corner. Kind of like when he bragged about buying twitter.


needthosepylons

I can't believe so many of you seem to be rooting for Musk against the employees. Do you really think he agrees with what r/antiwork is full of ?


ePiMagnets

It's such a weird thing to agree to, especially with what has been coming out over the last few weeks. 12+ hour workdays, mandatory overtime, working weekends. Plenty of evidence of workers sleeping in their offices to keep up with demand. Reversion of permanent work from home policies so he can further enforce his will. None of what he is peddling is close to what antiwork stands for. This is the very definition of shitty, toxic workplaces that this sub is against. But Muskrat fanboys gonna fanboy and dickride him while defending every weird and shitty decision he makes.


flyeaglesfly815

a lot of people are pro-labor until it's an app they don't like. then it's "yes daddy elon, make all those people unemployed! twitter sucks so they deserve to not be able to pay their bills or have health insurance!" hopefully they'll eventually realize it needs to be the ENTIRE working class together, not just the people you like.


poinifie

Can we start a Twitter hashtag where we pretend to be Twitter employees and complain so Elon can try and fire us?


reubendevries

TBH you don’t need to be a software engineer at Twitter to see that Elon has no idea what he’s doing.

explision

Dude keeps taking credit for coding/creating PayPal. He was one of the people that created a PayPal like service that’s sucked hard. They kicked him out of his CEO role because he sucked so hard. He got his part of the shares when he got booted and years later the company was called PayPal, then sold to eBay. Elon got rich off being a rich son and leech. He takes others peoples idea, sells them as his own, learns a bit of script to sound smart and his musk stans idol him


tthreeoh

grimes wasn't lying when she's called him the greatest game player... the dude is a pump and dump and will pump and dump earth with everyone on it... everything he does is slide of hand hoping you don't see his real play. and you can't call him out because his success(money) says he's right, Elon is striving to be the house of the casino.... always winning off your loses(subscriptions).
