Current and former Twitter employees said they never received bonuses they were promised during Elon Musk's buyout of the social media platform.

It’s tough to narrow down the 10 truly wackiest moments of Musk’s monarchical reign over X/Twitter this year, but here goes.

"I'll be honest: My feelings about Elon changed a bit in the writing of this piece. I'm probably now more impressed by what he's doing, but more worried by the fact that he's the one that's been doing it", so John Oliver in dem Stück über Elon Musk.

Elon Musk’s X has instructed staff not to suspend users that post explicitly racist, sexist and homophobic content, or who send sexual material to another person, as part of a new policy that has radically stripped back the company’s moderation of abusive material.

After Elon Musk last month decided to banish article headlines from posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, he’s bringing them back — but in a different format.

Elon Musks Online-Plattform X hat die Autoren eines kritischen Berichts verklagt, der vergangene Woche große Werbekunden wie IBM, Apple und Disney verschreckte. Der Twitter-Nachfolger wirft der Organisation Media Matters for America vor, sie habe durch gezielte Manipulation dafür gesorgt, dass Anzeigen bekannter Unternehmen neben Nazi-Beiträgen und antisemitischen Äußerungen auftauchten.

But Musk’s biggest problem is not that he made a bad deal, or that he owns a platform that doesn’t addict young minds like TikTok or Instagram, or that it’s now overrun by pornbots, or that he has to service all that ridiculous debt he stuck the company with. The problem Musk will never be able to fix is that he cannot help himself.

On Wednesday, Mr. Musk went further when he agreed with a post from an X account accusing Jewish communities of pushing “hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” Jewish people are now “coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much,” the account added. “You have said the actual truth,” Mr. Musk replied to the post.

Users on X who spread information that’s later corrected by Community Notes won’t be paid for engagement on those tweets, according to Elon Musk.

Auf der Suche nach neuen Einnahmequellen hat Elon Musks Online-Plattform X eine teurere Abo-Version ganz ohne Werbung eingeführt.

When Elon Musk began to transform Twitter into X, a slew of people who had either once worked for the platform or were simply ardent users launched various efforts to build better alternatives.

And a lot of it seems to be inaccurate.

In September, web traffic to X was down from a year earlier, while Musk's own posts got a huge bump

ConcerningBecause purchasing the website formerly known as Twitter for $44 billion apparently wasn't enough, billionaire Elon Musk has now offered to give one billion dollars to Wikipedia — but that billion would come at a high, and very dumb, price.
