      You gotta understand the Saudis are pumping in just enough money to keep the desecrated bones of Twitter alive.

      It doesn’t need to be worth Billions to function. It just needs to influence a bunch of deplorables morons. Particularly just in time for the (potentially) last election of our lives.

      I feel like that’s the plan. And I’m glad it’s happening.

      Twitter has always been a cesspool.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Alan Rosa, former head of security for Twitter, filed a lawsuit against X, Elon Musk, and company adviser Steve Davis, alleging that he was wrongly fired for protesting Musk-led cost-cutting measures.

    Cuts allegedly included applications used to sniff out software vulnerabilities and Salesforce programs that the company needed to respond to law enforcement information requests.

    Rosa also says Davis gave him mere hours to “cut the physical security budget by an additional 50 percent by midnight,” which he said risked the company violating court orders to store hundreds of devices that were under litigation holds.

    The suit claims that five days after he objected to that change, Twitter revoked Rosa’s access and fired him without reason or notice, then withheld his severance package while it investigated his conduct as an employee.

    Not long before Rosa’s firing, Musk laid off workers en masse, sparking an immediate lawsuit and the first wave of the Musk-era ad-pocalypse.

    As the money started to leave, Musk tried to tighten Twitter’s belt even further with novel approaches like selling all of its stuff or not paying the rent.
