Lots of billionaires like Bill Gates brag about all their philanthropy. But Elon Musk is the only one who gave away $45 billion of his own money over the past month.

My first and last team at Twitter, notable for having a silly (fantastic) name, has made it to the Washington Post for being totally hollowed out.
I assure you that this service requires care and feeding and without someone to keep it going, nothing good will happen.

For the record, this is not at all why twitter is super slow in many countries.
Btw, I’d like to apologize for Twitter being super slow in many countries. App is doing >1000 poorly batched RPCs just to render a home timeline!

Okay, okay. A thread on why this is a screaming red flag as a Cloud Economist...

Tweeps are just hanging out in Slack saying nice things to each other until their access is cut off. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Some really incredible people leaving Twitter tonight. We are all worse off without them there
