Twitter uses a service to capture analytics data for outbound links (using the https://t.co domain), and that service lost API access (presumably due to the new system that charges companies API access), so now outbound links aren't working.

Everyone knows that when you kill the boss, you get to run the company. That's just capitalism baby.
Somebody should really do a study on how Elon became one of the richest people on earth with Paypal, Tesla and SpaceX to his name.
I guess it's the same as how the fuck did Trump became the president of the USA, but still. I really don't get it.

It's really not that complicated:
He was a mid-level guy that got a foot in the door early enough at PayPal and received stock options. It went IPO. He sold his stock. So did the others working there (Peter Thiel, etc). Those other dudes became Venture Capitalists. They then used their newfound wealth to fund new projects with people they knew. Rinse. Repeat.
Right place, right time.

people think this dude so wealthy and smart he can send space shuttles to space on his own
yes

Big money comes from ambition, opportunity, and chance. Tony Stark might be an alcoholic/coke head womanizer in real life but he’s not a genius.
Full tilt asshole mode disparaging employees with disabilities. What a dude.
Also the irony of calling a guy "independently wealthy" for making it big in tech because his company got acquihired by Twitter... man, phew. Mirrors don't exist in the Musk household.
He's been trying to contact Musk and leadership and got gaslit until it turned into a PR nightmare for disparaging a disabled person. Total cunt.
I am shocked to find out that a feature that leaves it up to the masses would be used to discredit legitimate news and amplify more conspiracy shit
And particularly, by Musk stans:
Maybe we shouldn’t use Twitter anymore? Considering everything he’s doing with the platform?
But then some peoples lives will be slightly inconvenienced so let’s just keep using the platform and giving it credibility.

He zeroed in on a target: the car radar sensors, which are designed to detect hazards at long ranges and prevent the vehicles from barreling into other cars in traffic. The sleek bodies of the cars already bristled with eight cameras designed to view the road and spot hazards in each direction. That, Musk argued, should be enough.https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/03/19/elon-musk-tesla-driving/
Some Tesla engineers were aghast, said former employees with knowledge of his reaction, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. They contacted a trusted former executive for advice on how to talk Musk out of it, in previously unreported pushback. Without radar, Teslas would be susceptible to basic perception errors if the cameras were obscured by raindrops or even bright sunlight, problems that could lead to crashes.
Musk was unconvinced and overruled his engineers. In May 2021 Tesla announced it was eliminating radar on new cars. Soon after, the company began disabling radar in cars already on the road. The result, according to interviews with nearly a dozen former employees and test drivers, safety officials and other experts, was an uptick in crashes, near misses and other embarrassing mistakes by Tesla vehicles suddenly deprived of a critical sensor.
@Laboured if true, isn't that good enough for him to be held personally responsible in a class action lawsuit by those injured if they chose to sue?
No idea exactly how joint tortfeasorship works in the US unfortunately. But if you thought there was a chance you'd just sue both the company and him jointly and see what comes out in the wash.
The software updates automatically over the air, and Full Self-Driving would be so reliable, he said, the driver “could go to sleep.”phew
Investors were sold. The following year, Tesla’s stock price soared, making it the most valuable automaker and helping Musk become the world’s richest person.
Noone ever gets sued for false advertising anymore
"who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution"
