Twitter’s response to a request for comment regarding its Boulder offices was an automatic email with a poop emoji. Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted in May that this is the new auto-response for press inquiries.
I can’t believe this is real, what an absolute clown show.
Because he, the Saudi princes, and the Qatar government didn’t overpay for twitter to be a successful business, but to buy influence and control information.
That is…childish and unprofessional to say the least.
This is why they are getting fined for more than the company is worth in Germany, they also responded to the German Data Protection Authority’s inquiries with poop emojis.
I’m gonna need more popcorn for this.
Oh, wow! I didn’t even hear that particular piece of news. That’s hilarious!

You can make a bookmarklet out of this, and I highly recommend it.
That’s an awesome suggestion. It didn’t work out for me though. The page never loaded. Probably a conflict with one of my extensions.
Same - I keep getting a verification expired notification but the page never loads.
Waiting for him to declare Squatters Rights.
" I…Declare…SQUATTERS RIGHTS!!!"
He is a sovereign citizen.
“You can’t say sqatters rights and expect anything to happen”
he didn’t say it. he DECLARED it!!!
Do we know what they offices were used for?
Their Boulder presence was/is mostly people who work on its API.
They should have started charging more for their API usage…
This is hilarious. Fuck musk
rip twitter
I really don’t feel like it was ever alive.
Depends on your usage. I used it many times to get support for various services I paid for and didn’t get help using the regular channels. A public tweet to the company’s Twitter handle about an issue did wonders. Besides that I used it to follow like minded people in the same hobbies as me. I did nuke my account when Space Karen took over.
Yep, Twitter was the only way I could reliably get info about power outages in my neighborhood. Now I’ll just have to wait patiently for it to come back on… like a caveman
Fire go out. Straps note to pigeon
Get out! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
If I just broke contracts left and right, my credit rating would be ruined and I’d struggle to get any more financing. Yet this guy continues to leave a longer trail of financial wreckage behind him with few consequences. Our financial system is broken
The
socialcredit rating system is just for poor Americans. Most people in the world don’t have a credit rating, and neither do rich Americans or big companies.
I’m curious how Twitter is still running. How can the servers stay up as the support structure rots around them…
I mean usually if these systems are well architected and have enough head room they will just continue to run. It becomes problematic if you introduce change and don’t know them well. Change is the biggest factor leading to incidents.
Maybe they pay in Exposure
Twitter servers are run by Google in Google datacenters. If Twitter just ceased to exist but would continue to mostly pay Google, it would stay up and running.
If you’re going to link to an article that’s behind a paywall, please warn us.
A paywall can be a fair way for publishers to get subscribers and revenue.
Here it’s less fair since it’s an anti-adblock paywall that specifically targets user who obect to targeted advertising. It’s trying to pressure readers into accepting tracking by advertisers.
I agree that paywalls can be fair, and I appreciate your additional analysis of the situation. I’m not okay with being tracked.
My bad, I have Bypass Paywalls Clean so I didn’t even notice the paywall!
Respectfully dude, it’s not everyone else’s job to police content for you. Paywalls are everywhere, it’s the internet.
So everyone has to return to office, but they didn’t pay the bills for said office? This sounds about right for today’s Twitter. What an awful place to work now.
Will be nice to go there and not see their office anymore.
Ok maybe you can tell me. Is this referring to Boulder Colorado? It doesn’t mention the state anywhere in the article.
It’s from the Denver Business Journal.
What does that mean?
That means that it’s from a journal in Denver. Boulder is 15 miles from Denver.
Ab. I didn’t knew. Thanks!
I mean I suppose it’s possible they cover stories from all over the US or the rest of the world too.
Ahh. Didn’t notice that.
yes, CO. I recognize many of the street names.
Now he’s going to have to pay along with fines and fees for breaking contract.
What a smart man.
I was a bit puzzled why they would even have a Boulder office, but then again, we are living through a reboot of “The Stand”, so …
A lot of tech companies have secondary offices in other larger cities where some of their developers prefer to live. Often those people will work from home, but the corporate apparatus likes to have a small amount of offices and support staff locally. They don’t need any of that… but they seem to think they do.
