As my colleagues Alex Heath and Mia Sato report, the departure of whole essential groups leads individuals who know Twitter nicely to assume that it’s solely a matter of time till issues break down. Based on the New York Occasions, some “vital” workers have been pulled into conferences with Musk and his advisors, who tried to steer them to remain because the time ticked down.
So if that is the tip of Twitter, the one factor left to do is… tweet about it.
Some persons are planning their strikes to Instagram. Mastodon, MySpace, or names even older than that, however a lot of the energetic posts clearly fall someplace alongside the 5 phases of grief.
The temper has shifted from denial to go away area for acceptance and bargaining — and there’s surprisingly little anger.
That even goes for the person who spent months attempting to undo his $44 billion bid earlier than being compelled to make good on it and skyrocketing up the Go90 scale of doomed companies in pursuit of a $7.99 per 30 days pipe dream.
And sure, he’s tweeting his manner by means of it too.
The microservices are nonetheless dwell sufficient (for now), so whether or not it’s an excessive take, a dangerous DM, or simply one other idle remark, this feels just like the time to publish that tweet earlier than all of us transfer on to losing time some place else.
