I think Musk has entered his four seasons landscaping part of his Twitter run.

I think the best part is that an “X” in the top corner of a website is a well known sign to close a page. Like, I need to fight the urge to click it to exit out. Beyond that, how the fuck are you even supposed to search anything about it? X is such an ambiguous name. I don’t know why the fuck Musk spent billions on Twitter just to completely rebrand the IP into something so utterly idiotic. Considering his destruction of the platform and firing of most of the staff that maintained it, I would have thought the one thing of value he still had left was name recognition and major cultural ownership of words like “tweet”. I can hardly believe that a decade ago I thought Musk was a genius and I dreamed of working for SpaceX (a dream that faded as soon as I saw employee reviews thank God). Now it’s clear that the man has no idea how to run a small business let alone something as big as Twitter.

It looks like it could fall over with any gust of wind and kill someone.

It looks like something under construction. I would think they were building something that didn’t fit the building on the roof if I saw that.
